Fibercast Company is an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer of corrosion resistant fiberglass reinforced pipe and fittings. As the world leader in fiberglass reinforced composite piping, Fibercast has manufactured piping systems for corrosive applications since 1948. Fibercast is the only manufacturer to offer both centrifugally cast and filament wound piping. These piping systems are available in vinyl ester and epoxy resins with a broad range of corrosion resistance and physical properties. No other company manufactures more sizes of FRP composite piping than Fibercast. The wide selection of products and services allows you, the customer, to select the best and most economical piping system for your requirements.

Fibercast Centricast(r) Pipe and Fittings
Vinyl Ester and Epoxy Centrifugally Cast Pipe and Fittings

Centrifugally Cast Pipe

Epoxy Pipe Grades:

  • Centricast Plus RB-2530, Fibercast's strongest and most durable epoxy pipe, for the highest degree of safety and longest service life; recommended for fluids to 250°F and vapors to 270°F; available in 1-1/2" to 14" sizes
  • Centricast Plus RB-1520, highly corrosion resistant epoxy pipe, for services to 225°F; longer spans, strong adhesive joints without machining and low thermal expansion allows the lowest installed cost; available in 1" to 14" sizes

Epoxy Pipe Grades:

  • Centricast Plus CL-2030, used for over 25 years in the harshest chemical services of hot acids and chlorine, among others, this high strength vinyl ester grade has an 80 mil pure resin corrosion barrier and 20 mil exterior UV protection, providing the best impact and abrasion resistance; ; available in 1" to 14" sizes
  • Centricast Plus CL-1520, recommended for many highly corrosive services up to 200°F, this pipe grade made with high-strength fabrics provides the best high stress capabilities and toughness; fewer supports, better impact resistance and controlled OD's make this pipe our Customer's Choice

Full range of connection types available: plain end for socket or bell end / coupled.

The Centricast line of pipe utilizes Fibercast's compression molded fittings and contact-molded fittings as standard for Fibercast piping systems. Compression molded fittings offer the optimum in corrosion resistance by using short glass fibers totally encapsulated in the resin. This eliminates any concern for chemical attack of the corrosion barrier. Fibercast contact molded fittings are manufactured with a 100 mil corrosion barrier standard, other corrosion barriers available to meet customer specifications.

A complete line of fittings and adhesives for each grade of Fibercast pipe is available, providing a homogenous resin system with the same corrosion resistance throughout.

Fibercast Filament Wound Pipe and Fittings
Vinyl Ester and Epoxy Filament Wound Pipe and Fittings

F-Chem and F-Chem AR Filament Wound Pipe

Fibercast's filament wound construction offers more flexibility in resin systems, glass-filled corrosion barriers and wall thickness than centrifugally cast pipe. This allows for more design flexibility in less severe applications.

  • Available in 1" to 72" sizes
  • Choose from epoxy, polyester, or vinyl ester resin systems, or per customer specifications
  • 20 mil to 250 mil corrosion barrier, based on customer specifications
  • Exterior UV inhibited
  • -40°F to 275°F
  • Wide range of connection types: butt wrap, flanged, adhesive bell and spigot, o-ring bell and spigot
  •  

Fibercast Factory Mutual Pipe and Fittings
Factory Mutual Piping Systems

Factory Mutual Pipe

Fibercast's FM Approved Pipe meets the requirements of Factory Mutual's Research Corp. Class 1614 Approval Standard for Underground Fire Protection. Fibercast's FM pipe has the same excellent corrosion resistance and physical properties as RB-2530.

  • Available in 4" to 14" sizes in epoxy resin system
  • -40°F to 250°F
  • Cement socket or flanged connections

Fibercast Dualcast Double Contained Pipe and Fittings
Complete Line of Full-Featured Double-Contained Piping Systems

Dualcast Double Contained System

Fibercast's Dualcast system combines standard Centricast and filament wound pipe grades. the pipe and patented integrally-designed fittings are assembled utilizing Fibercast's standard cement socket systems and Weldfast adhesives. Dualcast is available in both epoxy and vinyl ester resin systems. Dualcast can be field or shop fabricated and utilizes the same, easy joining methods as Fibercast's other pipe grades.

  • Size range from 1"-in-3" to 12"-in-16", using any of the standard pipe grades: CL-2030, CL-1520, RB-2530, RB-1520, and the F-Chem line
  • Vinyl ester or epoxy resin systems
  • Cement socket connections


Fibercast Drafting and Engineering Services
Full Engineering and Drafting Services Available

Fibercast is a registered engineering firm with over 50 years of corporate experience in designing and manufacturing non-metallic piping systems. Engineering services have been provided to leading consultants and mechanical contractors, as well as to many firms from the ENR top twenty.

Fibercast has a staff of professional mechanical engineers, chemical engineers and technicians to design piping systems, perform specific engineering tasks, or troubleshoot piping systems. These services are augmented by state-of-the-art testing equipment, CAD capabilities and modern production facilities.

When extensive analysis is required, Fibercast utilizes finite element computer programs to design piping systems for maximum reliability and cost effectiveness.

The pipe flexibility analysis calculates pipe movement, stresses and moments at each restraint with simultaneous calculations of thermal, dynamic, dead/wind/ice loads, as well as seismic considerations. These calculations are based on expected properties of new or existing Fibercast piping systems.
