A. Introduction to Fiberspar
Fiberspar is the world's leading innovator and manufacturer of spoolable, fiber-reinforced pipe and tubing. The company's proprietary technology (more than 25 US and international patents related to spoolable products) is incorporated into product lines ud in a variety of oil and gas field applications.
Fiberspar ® LinePipe TM is ud in production gathering, injection, and disposal applications. More than 10 million feet of LinePipe has been installed for a wide range of customers in North America, including almost every major operator.

Fiberspar LinePipe is manufactured using an inner thermoplastic pressure layer reinforced with high-strength glass and/or carbon fibers embedded in an epoxy matrix. The result is high-pressure pipe immune to corrosion, with few joints, and rapid deployment potential. In 2002, the manufacturing plant was moved from Wareham, Massachutts, to its current location in Houston, Texas.
The Company now has Sales offices in Houston, Texas, and Calgary, Alberta, and Field Operational Centers in most of the active oil and gas locations in North America, including Central Texas, South Texas, Rocky Mountains, Alberta and South Saskatchewan.

Fiberspar us proprietary technology to manufacture on a continuous, linear processing line. All key operations are carried out in hou, including, liner extrusion, pipe fabrication, testing and pipe jacketing. An ISO 9001-compliant quality system with complete testing laboratories and expert staff support new product development and quality assurance testing.
Today, Fiberspar is the leading designer and manufacturer of continuous-length, spoolable fiber-reinforced pipe ud in the oil and gas industry. And, with twenty years in the business, Fiberspar is one of the most experienced.

B. Product Information
This manual is applicable to the installation of FIBERSPAR® LinePipe TM (FS LP) family of products. FS LP products are advanced composite line pipes produced in continuous lengths of up to 5 miles. They are designed for storage, delivery and deployment from spools.
This General Installation Guide provides general information on application and installation of systems using Fiberspar LinePipe. It is not an Installation Manual.
The “FIBERSPAR LinePipe Engineering Guide” provides engineering and design data applicable to the FS LP products and is available by application at
1. Product Identification
A Product Identification Number or PIN identifies FIBERSPAR® LinePipe TM. The PIN takes the form:
FS LP BB b/b CCCC (D)
Where:法西战争
FS = FIBERSPAR®
LP = LinePipe TM
Note: The letter “J” which designates
jacketed product may follow the “LP.”
BB = Nominal Outside Diameter
(in whole inches)
b/b = Nominal Outside Diameter
(in fractional parts of an inch)
CCCC = Maximum Allowable Operating
Pressure (MAOP), psi
简易素描画(D) = Pressure Barrier Material Code
Current Material codes are “E” for HDPE
and “X” for PEX (cross-linked PE) 2. Connector Identification
The primary connectors are available in two basic types, the Service-End Connector and the Pipe-to-Pipe Connector. (See figures below). The are identified with a Product Identification Number that takes the form:
CHEXxYZz
Where:
C = Connector
H = Design Revision
E = Series
B = B Series
C = C Series
马学礼D = D Series
E = E Series
G = G Series今天的老公
Xx = Size (Nominal Outside Diameter)
X= whole inches
x = decimal parts of an inch
Y = End Termination:
W = Flanged Asmbly
L = NPT Threaded Asmbly
Zz = End Termination Size
Z = Nominal Pipe Size in Inches
如何停用朋友圈z = ANSI Flange Rating
0 = 150#
1 = 300#
3 = 900#
4 = 1500#

3. Certified Installers
FIBERSPAR requires that a Fiberspar Certified Installer supervi all installations of Fiberspar LinePipe. To attain certified status, installers are required to attend a Fiberspar training class, and work under direct supervision of a Certified Installer for a number of installations. To maintain Certified Installer status, the installer must install Fiberspar LinePipe on a frequent basis, maintain an updated manual and attend refresher cours as required. Certified Installer status will lap for any individual who has not installed Fiberspar LinePipe in the preceding 6 months.
C. Storage and Handling
1. Packaging
FS LP is packaged on spools for transport, storage and deployment. The spools are fabricated from steel or wood and often weigh more than the FS LP product which is on the spool.
Pipe is wrapped around the spool drum and in layers to the desired length. The outermost layer should be at least 1 inch below the spool flange. All pipe is hydro-tested on the spool at the factory and although care is taken to remove water, spools of pipe may contain small amounts of water that is not practical to remove.
CAUTION: FS LP wound on spools has some stored energy. Ensure that the pipe end is restrained during all operations to avoid rapid relea of this energy and potential injury to personnel and damage to
pipe and equipment.

2. Handling
Most jobs staged from local deployment areas do not require the handling and lifting of full spools at location. Specialized equipment is ud which allows the technician to deploy the LinePipe directly from the transport vehicle. However, on larger projects its may be necessary to swap spools out of the deployment equipment directly on location. In the cas, care must be taken becau spools of pipe tend to be top-heavy loads and must be handled with care to avoid overturning causing harm to surrounding personnel or damage to the pipe and/or spool.
On rare occasions it will be necessary to upright the spools after unloading in order to place them in an upright spooling frame. The preferred method for uprighting a Fiberspar spool is to u a crane equipped with a cond line.
CAUTION: Improper handling of spools of FS LP can result in personnel injury as well as damage to the product. Ensure that the lifting equipment ud, including straps, slings and spreader bars are in good working condition and are rated for the load and conditions.
The u of a spreader bar and slings is strongly recommended when moving spools with a crane.
Handling Spools for Change Outs
In the abnce of a crane, two forklifts can be ud. The bar is placed through the center hole and a forklift is positioned on each side of the spool. The forks are ud to lift the bar raising the spool.
When two forklifts are ud to unload a truck, it is recommended that the spool be raid and the truck driven out from under it. Movement of the forklifts must be coordinated to avoid accidents.
CAUTION: Attempting to move the spool by “rolling it” is never recommended. Spools tend to be top heavy and may tip sideways if rolling is attempted. Rolling the spool of FS LP may also damage the pipe that is on the spool.
3. Storage
Spools of product should be stored on level flat surfaces with no protruding objects that might contact and damage the pipe on the outermost layer. It is also recommended when spools are placed on soft surfaces such as dirt or gravel that they be placed on suitable support to prevent the spool flanges from sinking into the ground. The u of 6" X 6" timbers is recommended for this purpo. Block, or otherwi ensure, that the spool cannot roll. Do not store on slopes.
If storage is to be for an extended period of time, the pipe should be protected from freezing. Spools of FS LP may contain some water from hydro testing or condensation that can freeze and damage the pipe.
4. Field Transport
When transported in the field for deployment, the spool must be mounted in a suitable spooling frame. Transport should be on a trailer that is as clo to the ground as practical. Be aware of any o
verhead power lines or other overhead obstructions that may come in contact
with the spool. Spool will not move once properly chocked.
