From the pipes beneath our cities to the technologies that protect our rivers, lakes and oceans, water touches everything we do. Once a year, the global water community gathers at WEFTEC to share solutions, spark innovation, and shape the future of clean...

The Big Beautiful Bill Act, a significant federal infrastructure and economic stimulus initiative, is bringing a renewed focus on America’s infrastructure and business environment.  For industrial facilities using corrosive liquids such as mineral mining, this...

As data centers continue to expand and evolve, so too does the need for reliable infrastructure to support their operations. One increasingly popular solution is the use of engineered fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) tanks. These tanks offer a range of benefits that...

In the world of industrial equipment, certification matters - especially when it comes to safety-critical components like tanks and vessels. The certification that stands out in the fabrication of non-metallic FRP tanks and vessels is the ASME RTP-1 designation. But...

In previous months we discussed the use of Barcol Hardness testers to measure and quantify the degree of cure of fiber reinforced plastics (FRP).  This month we finish the discussion of FRP cure with the most accurate method, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)....

Last month we described proper use of a Barcol Hardness Tester to get accurate hardness readings. This month we describe how to interpret Barcol Hardness Tester readings to develop an accurate evaluation of FRP cure. Be aware that during a test, if the probe contacts...

Last month the Diamond Fiberglass blog post described the most common cure testing device for FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) equipment, the Barcol Hardness Tester. This month's blog post will describe proper use of the Barcol hardness tester to get accurate and...

The resin in any equipment fabricated from FRP needs to attain a proper cure in order to reach its full physical properties.  The most common and reliable way to determine cure stage is to use a Barcol tester. Diamond Fiberglass tests the FRP tanks and vessels it...

Which fabricator is the best choice for your engineered FRP tanks and pipes? If the answer that comes to your mind is "The lowest cost provider!" then maybe you could use some help.  There are important considerations besides cost.  When you don't purchase engineered...
