Like any industrial asset, #FRP pipes, tanks, scrubbers and ductwork require regular #inspection for structural integrity — and the more accurate a picture that inspection gives you, the better. 🧵
Based on the results, UTComp engineers also designed the FRP extension and provided the specifications for manufacturing, installation and quality control.
Reliability engineers: are you inspecting your FRP pipes and tanks with the same diligence that you inspect steel assets?
