FRP Pultruded Rectangular Tube: Advanced Composite Engineering‌

FRP pultruded rectangular tubes are strong and stable. They use continuous E-glass fiber reinforcement, which makes up 70% of the volume. These tubes also have thermosetting vinylester resin matrices. As a result, they achieve a tensile modulus of 23 GPa. Their ‌chloride ion permeability‌ remains below 0.01% under ASTM C1202 testing, outperforming steel rebar in marine concrete formworks exposed to tidal zones‌.

Enhanced Technical Specifications



  • ‌Fiber alignment precision±1° angle in pultrusion ensures unidirectional load transfer. Axial strength is 520 MPa.

  • ‌Fire-retardant additives‌:es: Phenolic resins achieve a Class B1 flame spread rating (ISO 5660-1) for petrochemical ducts.

  • ‌Interlaminar shear strength‌‌: 32 MPa (ASTM D4475) prevents delamination in seismic bracing systems‌.


‌Cross-Industry Applications

  • ‌Anodic protection-free‌ structural members for HCl storage tanks (pH 0.5–14 compatibility)‌.

  • ‌Dielectric shielding‌ in 500 kV substation busbar enclosures (surface resistivity: 10¹⁵ Ω/sq)‌.

  • ‌Fatigue-resistant‌ conveyor frames in salt-spray environments (10⁷ cycle endurance at 15 kN/m²)

    The ‌pultrusion mandrel geometry‌ controls wall-thickness uniformity (±0.15 mm), critical for ‌moment-resisting joints‌ in offshore platform gangways‌. Post-cure DSC analysis shows 98% resin conversion rates. This means no VOC emissions in food processing plants.


For BIM integration, these tubes hold LOD 400 metadata. This includes anisotropic stiffness matrices and connection details. As a result, the team reduces clash detection time in chemical plant MEP coordination by 40%. ‌Automated fiber placement‌ (AFP) technology enables custom ‌rovings-to-mat ratios‌ (60:40 to 80:20) for balancing flexural and torsional demands‌.

Note: All environmental aging data validated per ASTM G154 QUV testing (3000-hour salt fog/UV cycles). Customizable ‌fiber hybridization‌ (E-glass/carbon basalt) available for specialized applications‌.
