While installation might not typically be considered as part of the pipe system design, it is such an important part of a successful system that we believe it needs to be emphasized here. Without doubt, more issues arise in FRP piping systems due to improper installation than due to any other single cause. There are a number of steps that must be followed to provide assurance that problems won&#;t arise later, and also to comply with the requirements of ASME NM.21.
The document provides standard operating procedures for pipe jointing using a butt-wrap method. It describes preparing the resin, required raw materials, surface preparation for joining pipes, the joining procedure, safety instructions, and references. The key steps are cleaning and preparing the pipe surfaces, mixing resin according to specifications, applying layers of fiberglass and resin to join the pipes, and allowing proper curing before use. Safety is emphasized and qualified technicians are required.
