    What do you know about fiberglass axial cloth?

    Definition and application

    Fiberglass axial cloth is a reinforcement material formed by arranging glass fibers along the axial direction of the pipe through a mechanical weaving process. It has a uniform warp and weft structure and high strength, and is widely used in the manufacture of FRP pipes. The main function of the axial cloth is to provide longitudinal reinforcement to ensure that the pipe maintains stability and durability when subjected to internal and external pressures.

    Industry background

    FRP pipe is a composite material pipe made of glass fiber reinforced plastic. It is widely used in chemical, petroleum, natural gas, water treatment and other industries due to its excellent corrosion resistance, high strength and light weight. With the continuous improvement of environmental protection and energy-saving requirements, the selection of FRP pipes has become particularly important. Choosing the right reinforcement material can not only improve the performance of the pipeline, but also extend its service life and reduce maintenance costs.

    Main features and advantages of glass fiber axial cloth

    • UV resistance: It has good resistance to UV rays and can maintain stable performance under long-term exposure to sunlight. This is especially important for FRP pipes used outdoors.

    Lightweight and high strength

    • Light weight: Fiberglass axial cloth is lighter than traditional metal materials and is easy to transport and install. This is especially important for large-scale engineering projects, which can significantly reduce the difficulty and cost of construction.
    • High strength: Despite its light weight, glass fiber axial cloth has extremely high strength and can maintain stability and durability when subjected to large external forces.

    Thermal stability

    • Low thermal conductivity: Glass fiber axial cloth has a low thermal conductivity, which can effectively prevent heat transfer and reduce energy loss. This is especially important for high-temperature or low-temperature pipes, which can significantly improve energy utilization efficiency.
    • High temperature resistance: Many types of glass fiber axial cloth can withstand temperatures up to 650°C or even higher, and are suitable for FRP pipes in extreme environments.

    Environmental protection and sustainability

    No harmful substances: Glass fiber axial cloth does not contain substances that are harmful to the human body and meets environmental protection standards. Some types of axial cloth can also be recycled and reused, reducing the generation of waste and meeting the sustainable development requirements of modern industry.
