Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) and other polymeric materials are used in many ways to reduce and manage corrosion damage for industrial, infrastructure and municipal applications. It is common practice to use the term “resin” for polymers in these materials. This paper uses polymer interchangeably with resin. This paper will also only consider glass fiber reinforcements.

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP), polymeric composites and other polymeric materials are used in many ways to reduce corrosion damage for industrial, infrastructure and municipal applications. Applications include storage tanks, scrubbers, reactors, piping and linings of steel and concrete. For new constructions, a variety of standards and codes have been developed by consensus that stipulate resin and reinforcement material selection, design, manufacturing and quality control details. One of the standards used at this stage assists with the selection of the polymer, or resin, which makes the major contribution to corrosion protection. Since the 1950’s when the use of FRP started for corrosion service, inspectors have assessed the condition of the polymer that has been exposed to chemical corrosion to determine if the corrosion barrier is fit for service. There is no consensus standard or code for determining fitness for service of FRP corrosion barriers or equipment. This paper will provide an overview of existing standards and codes used in design and construction, describe damage mechanisms and provide a pathway that allows existing standards to be adapted to determine Fitness for Service of FRP using thermoset polymers.

Fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) has properties that, if disregarded, can lead to failure during operation. The same properties, if taken advantage of, can provide the user with performance superior to traditional alloy materials. This paper discusses principles in designing process and facilities piping systems with FRP.
