FRP Tank Case Study
Corrosive Material
Corrosion resistance is a central theme for IPS products, with exacting tolerances and uniform quality both being imperative. Quality control includes running gel time tests on incoming resin, maintaining control of mixing of resins, checks for barcol readings on cured products, scrutiny for product appearance, and visual checks for dimensional accuracy.
IPS shop fabricators undergo extensive training before being allowed to bring customer visions to life. The average experience time for one of our shop workers is over seven years.
Standards we manufacture to include:
- ASME RTP-1 FRP tanks and FRP vessels
- NSF/ANSI 61 FRP pipe for drinking water
- NBS PS 15-69 stub flanges
- ASTM D-2996 FRP pipe
- ASTM D-2310 filament wound pipe
- ASTM D-2563
- ASTM D-3299 FRP resin tanks
- ASTM D-3982 for fabricated duct and hoods, plus contact molded FRP duct
- ASTM D-4097 tank standards
