Fiber Glass Systems, L. P./San Antonio Facility

Steel pipe is often considered the product of choice for moving large volumes of liquid and gas over long distances, but there is a more reliable and cost-effective alternative: our Fiberspar™ Spoolable LinePipe. Understanding your needs, Fiber Glass Systems engineers developed a new line of spoolable composite products that expands application capabilities based on temperature, pressure, and flow rate. Fiberspar LinePipe is a spoolable product consisting of an inner thermoplastic pressure barrier reinforced by high-strength glass fibers embedded in an epoxy matrix. Intended for corrosive-gathering and injection applications, including general and sour produced fluids and gases, Fiberspar LinePipe can handle pressures up to 2,500 psi and temperatures up to 180 °F in hydrocarbon applications (3,500 psi and 203 °F in water applications). Features/Benefits Pipe is supplied in continuous lengths up to 9,000 ft (2740 m) on reels for rapid installation in most applications. A wear-resistant exterior layer provides excellent damage resistance during handling and installation. Connectors are designed to grip a GRE structure, avoiding issues related to viscoelastic creep associated with thermoplastic materials. Connectors are available in all standard configurations (flanged, threaded, weld-end, etc.), or custom connections can be supplied.

filaments with a resin-rich interior surface. Pipe and fittings are available in 2- through 24-in. diameters with pressure ratings up to 450 psig static at a maximum operating temperature of 210 °F. Diameters up to 36 in. are available upon request. Compatible epoxy fittings are manufactured with the same chemical and temperature capabilities as the pipe. Depending on the part and size, fittings will be compression molded, contact molded, hand fabricated, or filament wound. Applications
