FRP ASME Section X vs. ASME Section VIII Steel Tank

摘要

Why ilo some equipment design engineers in corrosive environments prefer steel alloys for material of construction over fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) for tank and pipe fabrication? This mindset could be attributed to limited education, exposure, and experience by these engineers regarding the benefits of fiberglass composite design and fabrication. Thorpe Plant Services has innovated solutions regarding engineering design build for both atmospheric and pressure tanks using FRP for both short- and long-term economic benefits.
