Abstract

This article examines the materials, properties, manufacturing technologies and applications of fiberglass pipes. There are presented main types of fiberglass pipe manufacturing technologies and the industries, in which they are applied. The article gives the main properties of fiberglass pipes, highlighting that porosity is the significant reason for reduced strength properties. Pores act as stress concentrators and reduce diffusion resistance. A winding method using vibration is proposed to reduce porosity.

Keywords
fiberglass pipes, binders, fillers, properties, winding, porosity, vibration
