NOV Fiber Glass Systems
NOV / Fiber Glass Systems is the world’s leading manufacturer of fiberglass pipe. FTC has long represented NOV and its subsidiaries. In fact, FTC is the most experienced fiberglass pipe supplier in the Midwest. We stock large quantities of fiberglass pipe and fittings in our warehouse in Des Moines, IA.
During the manufacturing process, fiberglass pipe is either cast or filament wound on a rotating mandrel. Both processes yield exceptionally strong, corrosion resistant, abrasion resistant pipe. Selection of cast or wound pipe is dependent on the application.
Applications for fiberglass pipe include chemical transport (corrosive), waste water (abrasive), chilled water, hot water distribution, pumped condensate return, flue gas desulfurization, and cooling tower applications. The projected lifecycle of fiberglass in some applications is up to 100 years.
