Comparative study of fiberglass-reinforced pipe for oil and gas processing industries based on fire and explosion risk analysis

In this paper the suitability of fiberglass-reinforced pipe (FRP) for Lise in oil and gas processing industries fire fighting system was studied The study covered the issues on the reliability as well as the cost benefit that could be obtained from the FRP material as compared to conventional met...
