FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) filter housings are commonly used in filtration systems, especially in applications where strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties are required. These housings are made from a composite material consisting of plastic reinforced with fiberglass, which gives them enhanced mechanical strength and durability.
Key Features:
Material:
Constructed from fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP), offering high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance.
Suitable for use in harsh environments with exposure to chemicals, acids, and alkaline solutions.
Design:
Used to house various types of filter cartridges (e.g., sediment, carbon, or multi-media filters).
Can be designed to accommodate both single and multiple filter cartridges, depending on flow requirements.
Sizes:
Available in various sizes, typically accommodating standard filter cartridge lengths like 10-inch, 20-inch, 30-inch, and 40-inch.
Pressure Rating:
Generally rated for high-pressure operations (up to 10 bar or more), making them suitable for industrial applications.
Temperature Resistance:
Can withstand a wide range of temperatures, often between 0°C and 80°C (32°F to 176°F), depending on the product.
Corrosion Resistance:
Excellent resistance to corrosion from harsh chemicals and salty water, making them ideal for marine or chemical industries.
O-Ring Seals:
O-rings made from materials like EPDM, Viton, or NBR are used to ensure a leak-free seal.
Applications:
Water filtration, chemical processing, food and beverage industry, pharmaceuticals, and oil & gas.
