MARINE PIPING SYSTEMS

Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy

 Marine Piping Systems

GREEN THREAD 175 and 250

NOV Fiber Glass Systems products meet the challenges

of marine applications by offering resistance to internal

and external corrosion from saltwater, sea, air and other
corrosive fluids.

Green Thread 175 is rated to 175 psig / 12 bar at

temperatures up to 230F / 110C and Green Thread 250 is
rated to 250 psig / 18 bar and are available in 2-36 sizes.
All Green Thread marine pipe products are manufactured
with an inner corrosion and erosion barrier that is reinforced
to provide maximum resistance to the harsh marine
environment. This design provides an extra safety factor for
critical services such as fire protection systems and ballast
piping applications.

- Cooling Water - Fresh Water Lines

- Waste Lines - Sanitary Lines

- Potable Water - Scuppers

- Process Lines - Sounding Tubes

Benefits
- Corrosion Resistant

- Light Weight

- Excellent Flow Characteristics

- Fast and Easy Installation

- Prefabricated Pipe Systems

- Reduced Maintenance

- Long Service Life

Fire Resistant
Green Thread 175 and Green Thread 250 systems are fully

qualified for IMO Level-3 fire resistance without any passive

fire protection required.

Green Thread 250F is supplied with a unique reinforced Fire

Jacket that has been fully qualified for modified Level-3

(L-WD) fire resistance in accordance with US Coast Guard

PFM 1-98. Pipe protected by the Fire Jacket exhibits zero

heat release when tested in accordance with IMO A.653(16)

and flammability of the product is so low that it has been

exempted from smoke and toxicity test requirements.

Conductive
Continuous conductive filaments are utilized throughout the

pipe wall of Green Thread conductive pipe systems at a

predetermined pattern to prevent the accumulation of static

charges and enable efficient grounding of charges through

grounding saddles bonded to the pipe. A nominal 0.5 mm

(0.020 in) thick conductive liner reinforced with conductive

veil, is also added to prevent the accumulation of potential

inductive static charge buildup.

Engineering & Design Support

NOV Fiber Glass Systems offers complete design and

installation assistance for the engineer, the shipbuilder or

offshore platform constructor. Application engineers can

provide up-front layout and system design advice, as well

as comprehensive flexibility and stress analysis of piping

layouts. Pipe and fittings are available in Aveva PDMS

and TRIBON formats.
