What are the applications of filament winding?
Filament winding is a manufacturing process that is used to create composite structures, such as pipes, tanks, and pressure vessels. It involves winding fibers, such as carbon or glass, around a mandrel, or form and then applying a resin to bind the fibers together. The result is a strong, stiff, and lightweight composite structure that can be used in a wide range of applications. Below mentioned are some of the applications with examples. Pipes and tubing Filament winding is commonly used to manufacture pipes and tubing for a variety of industries, including oil and gas, water treatment, and chemical processing. The process allows for the creation of pipes with a high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and good thermal insulation properties. Filament-wound pipes can be used in both above and below-ground applications. One example of the application of filament winding is the production of fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) pipes. These pipes are use
