RTRP Piping System (GRE/GRV/GRP) Manufacture, Design, Installation and Inspection Course
Introduction:
Process industries use Reinforce Thermosetting Resin Pipe (RTRP), a non-metallic piping technology with a variety of uses. GRE and FRP piping systems are other names for RTRP piping systems. Terms like RTP (reinforced thermosetting plastic), RTRP (reinforced thermosetting resin pipe), and GRP (glass reinforced plastic) may also be used. To be even more precise, there are three types of glass: GRUP (glass reinforced unsaturated polyester), GRVE (glass reinforced vinyl ester), and GRE (glass-reinforced epoxy). There seems to be an endless array of terms. Potable water, sea water, fire water, water treatment, sewer systems, and industrial and chemical fluids are typical applications.
Course Objectives:
The main objective of the course is to enable participants to carry out preventive, predictive and corrective maintenance on various types of piping, such as RTRP, GRP, and GRE. Upon the successful completion of the course, participants will be fully acquainted with:
