(FGS) <br />Worldwide Leader in Composite Piping <br />We call our fiberglass reinforced piping systems "time tested" because they have been proving their durability and value in <br />harsh environments and unforgiving applications for decades. In fact, we're closing in on our 60th anniversary, and some <br />of our buried fuel-handling installations have been in the ground for almost 40 years. <br />We offer extensive experience in designing, engineering, manufacturing, fabricating, and installing piping systems for <br />caustic chemicals, abrasive slurries, hot temperatures, and high pressures - as well as less abusive forms of service. <br />A long list of "firsts" includes: <br />• World's first composite pipe manufacturer <br />• 1st UL Listed non-metallic pipe for fuel handling in 1968 <br />• 1st manufacturer to be UUULC Listed to 2004 UL 971 <br />• 1st North American pipe manufacturer to earn ISO 9001 certification <br />• 1st U.S. pipe manufacturer to achieve API Qi status <br />Fiber Glass Systems, L.P. (FGS) combines the resources of Star Fiberglass and Smith Fibercast. With live manufacturing <br />facilities in North America and two in the Far East, FGS offers a wide range of products to meet most piping needs. <br />FGS offers the broadest, most comprehensive product selection available. We're the only manufacturer producing <br />both filament wound and centrifugally cast piping. We market our products through a worldwide network of stocking <br />distributors. <br />We are supported by the multi-billion global resources of our parent company, National Oilwell Varco - the leader in high- <br />performance oil field equipment and advanced drilling and well-servicing technologies, with more than 5,000 employees in <br />49 countries. <br />On-site installation training is available by FGS field technicians. Free Smith Fibercast piping-design CD-ROM programs <br />for all markets, including the UL-Listed Fuel Piping markets (with the Success by Design engineering program), are <br />available. <br />Filament Winding Process <br />Resin-impregnated glass fibers are wound onto a mandrel in a <br />predetermined pattern under controlled tension. Repeated passes <br />create a strong layered wall of the desired thickness. This process <br />results in a pipe that is at least 75% glass-reinforced for optimum <br />internal pressure capability. <br />10 <br />PAGE 83
