Filament winding Filament winding is a manufacturing technique mainly used to manufacture open (cylindrical) or closed structures (pressure vessels or storage tanks). The process involves winding filaments on a male mold under tension. The mandrel rotates while the wind eye on the carriage moves ho... read more
Oil storage tank The storage tank can be made of fiberglass and has a maximum capacity of about 300 tons. Smaller tanks can be made by casting shredded felt pads on a thermoplastic inner tank, which acts as a preform during the construction process. Use woven felt or filament-wound fibers to make a ... read more
Fiberglass has become a widely used material due to its lightness, inherent strength, weather resistance and various surface textures. In the 1930s, extensive research was conducted on the development of fiber-reinforced plastics for commercial use. This is of particular interest to the aviation i... read more
Composition: The most common type of glass fiber in glass fiber is E-glass. E-glass is aluminoborosilicate glass. The content of alkali metal oxide is less than 1% w/w. It is mainly used for glass fiber reinforcement. plastic. Other types of glass are A glass (soda lime glass with almost no boron... read more
A single structural glass fiber is both rigid and strong in the axial and axial directions. Although it can be assumed that the fiber's resistance to compression is weak, in fact only the fiber's aspect ratio makes it look like this. That is, since typical fibers are long and narrow, they are easy ... read more
