Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) piping, also known as Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) piping, presents a cost-effective alternative to corrosion-prone metallic and non-reinforced thermoplastic piping. However, designing FRP systems requires specialized knowledge due to fundamental differences from steel piping.
This introductory Fiberglass Engineering course provides a comprehensive overview of various aspects related to the implementation of FRP piping systems, aimed at enhancing the understanding of professionals involved in piping systems.
The course consists of 4 online video modules, offering you 1-year unlimited access to the course materials and discussion forum, allowing you to revisit modules as needed for knowledge updates related to your work projects.
