Improved impact <br />resistance (due to the coaxial wall <br />design) and enhanced bending <br />strength and stiffness make LCX the <br />toughest fiberglass reinforced <br />epoxy pipe in the market. <br />The classical design for pressure <br />pipe requires twice as much <br />strength in the circumferential <br />direction as in the longitudinal. <br />This 2:1 relationship exists <br />whether the pipe is cast iron, con- <br />crete, polyethylene or fiberglass. <br />Fiberglass pipe can be customized <br />in its strength by direction. Other <br />pipe can't. The only way to make <br />steel pipe twice as strong in the <br />hoop direction is to put in twice <br />the amount of material. That's <br />because the steel is the same <br />strength in every direction—called <br />an isotropic material. Fiberglass <br />material is about 20 times <br />stronger in the direction of the <br />Q: "atcan contractorsand <br />disMbutors do to increase See <br />sheffm oftheB-20 adhesive? <br />A: B-20 adhesive kits should have a <br />minimum six-month.shelf life. <br />Kits should not be stored at <br />elevated temperatures or in <br />direct sunlight. For best results, <br />store below 70°F. Shelf life can be <br />extended by storing in cool areas. <br />One of the components of B-20 is <br />a highly reactive material. <br />Keeping it cooler reduces its <br />ability to homopolymerize (get <br />hard by itself). <br />Rotate stock frequently, i.e., first <br />in/first out. Check manufac- <br />turing date on packaging. Check <br />fibers than it is across the fiber <br />direction. This non -isotropic fea- <br />ture, and the continuous process <br />used for the Dualoy piping, enable <br />us to make the pipe stronger in <br />the desired direction by putting <br />more glass fibers in this direction. <br />The Dualoy 3000/LCX pipe is <br />designed to have extra longitudi- <br />nal strength and stiffness. Since <br />the pipe is heavier per foot than <br />the pipe alone (because of the <br />sand), levering the pipe off the <br />end of a rack puts more bending <br />load on the wall than it would <br />normally see in an all fiberglass <br />product. This extra load can easily <br />be accommodated by adding lon- <br />gitudinal glass to the design. The <br />robust design of the LCX wall <br />gives the installer more assurance <br />that standard handling practices <br />will not affect the integrity of the <br />pipe. <br />adhesive kits that are six months <br />or older to see whether the resin <br />(white) is still liquid.
