“FRP Pipe Supports – Don't Get Conned” is the topic of the video presentation from Maverick Applied Science President, Jeff Eisenman.
In this presentation, Jeff explains why standard metallic pipe supports can damage FRP piping if not properly engineered with wear pads, rubber liners, or molded cradle supports.
Improper support geometry leads to point-loading, localized wall crushing, and circumferential stress cracks. Proper support selection and placement ensures structural integrity throughout the system’s service life.
