2. Fibre-reinforced plastic tanks and vessels - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre-reinforced_plastic...

   Fibre-reinforced plastic tanks and vessels. FRP ( Fibreglass Reinforced Plastics, also known as GRP, or Glass Reinforced Plastics) is a modern composite material of construction for chemical plant, pulp and paper mill, and food and pharmaceutical equipment like tanks and vessels. Chemical equipment that range in size from less than a metre to ...

3. Fuel tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_tank

   The average fuel tank capacity for cars is 50–60 L (12–16 US gal). [3] The most common materials for fuel tanks are metal or plastic. Metal (steel or aluminium) fuel tanks are usually built by welding stamped sheetmetal parts together. Plastic fuel tanks usually built using blow molding, which allows more complex shapes to be used.

4. Self-sealing fuel tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-sealing_fuel_tank

   A self-sealing fuel tank ( SSFT) is a type of fuel tank, typically used in aircraft fuel tanks or fuel bladders, that prevents them from leaking fuel and igniting after being damaged. Typical self-sealing tanks have layers of rubber and reinforcing fabric, one of vulcanized rubber and one of untreated natural rubber, which can absorb fuel when ...

5. Polypropylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypropylene

   Polypropylene, highly colorfast, is widely used in manufacturing carpets, rugs and mats to be used at home. [46] Polypropylene is widely used in ropes, distinctive because they are light enough to float in water. [47] For equal mass and construction, polypropylene rope is similar in strength to polyester rope.

6. Polyethylene - Wikipedia

   Polyethylene or polythene (abbreviated PE; IUPAC name polyethene or poly (methylene)) is the most commonly produced plastic. [ 7] It is a polymer, primarily used for packaging ( plastic bags, plastic films, geomembranes and containers including bottles, etc.).

7. Cross-linked polyethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-linked_polyethylene

   Cross-linked polyethylene. Cross-linked polyethylene, commonly abbreviated PEX, XPE or XLPE, is a form of polyethylene with cross-links. It is used predominantly in building services pipework systems, hydronic radiant heating and cooling systems, domestic water piping, insulation for high tension (high voltage) electrical cables, and baby play ...

8. Gas cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_cylinder

   Gas cylinder. Industrial compressed gas cylinders used for oxy-fuel welding and cutting of steel. A gas cylinder is a pressure vessel for storage and containment of gases at above atmospheric pressure. High- pressure gas cylinders are also called bottles. Inside the cylinder the stored contents may be in a state of compressed gas, vapor over ...

9. Polyurethane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyurethane

   Polyurethane ( / ˌpɒliˈjʊərəˌθeɪn, - jʊəˈrɛθeɪn /; [ 1] often abbreviated PUR and PU) refers to a class of polymers composed of organic units joined by carbamate (urethane) links. In contrast to other common polymers such as polyethylene and polystyrene, polyurethane is produced from a wide range of starting materials.
