UL/ULC Listed Red Thread® IIA Piping System <br /> Fiber Glass Systems, L.P. (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 UL/ULC 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 Q1 status <br /> Fiber Glass Systems, L.P. (FGS)combines the resources of Star Fiberglass and Smith Fibercast. With five 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 /> _ 1 <br /> We are supported by the multi-billion global resources of our parent company, National Oilwell Varco -the leader in high- <br /> performance oilfield eqipment 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 /> 0 <br /> Filament Winding Process dWI;ke <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,re' V for optimum ', <br /> internal pressure capability. r �1 des Fiber <br /> r � - <br /> �j� Placement <br /> Head <br /> ,AN Rotation Resin Bath <br /> 10 <br /> -Nv��O.Gnp?...• <br />
