Wear Pads & Flat Pads

FRP wear pads and flat pads are durable, corrosion-resistant components used to protect above-ground piping from external corrosion at support points (CUPS). They prevent direct metal-to-metal contact, protect the pipe’s protective paint coating, and prevent crevice corrosion, thus extending the lifespan of the piping system.

What are RedLineIPS FRP Wear Pads & Flat Pads?

Cogbill’s RedLineIPS brand of heavy-duty piping products provides both support and corrosion protection for industrial piping systems. Our FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) Wear Pads and Flat Pads, made from advanced composite materials, address the critical issue of Corrosion Under Pipe Supports (CUPS). These pads eliminate metal-to-metal contact, preventing galvanic corrosion, and elevate pipes to avoid crevice corrosion. Additionally, they cradle pipes and protect their paint coatings from damage, thus preventing corrosion in general terms.
Installation of the RedLineIPS wear pads and flat pads is streamlined for efficiency, offering two methods to suit various operational requirements. For a durable bond, a two-part epoxy ensures robust attachment, capable of withstanding pipe movement and vibration. Alternatively, for rapid application, a double-sided 3M VHB tape provides a quick yet reliable method. Both options are engineered to secure the pads in place, safeguarding the integrity of the piping system and extending its service life. This dual approach underscores Cogbill’s commitment to providing versatile and effective solutions for industrial piping systems, emphasizing ease of maintenance and longevity.

RedLineIPS FRP Wear Pads

The RedLineIPS FRP Wear Pad offers an effective solution for safeguarding pipes in demanding industrial settings. Made from a composite of a durable polymer matrix and glass reinforcing fibers, this wear pad is corrosion-resistant and lightweight. Its saddle-shaped design ensures a precise fit, eliminating metal-to-metal contact and reducing wear and abrasion risks. This design preserves the pipe’s structural integrity and prolongs its protective paint coating’s lifespan, easing maintenance burdens and enhancing durability in critical industrial environments.

Purpose of RedLineIPS FRP Pads

  • Protection of Paint Coating: The RedLineIPS FRP Wear Pads cradle the pipe’s underside, preserving its paint coating and allowing it to protect the pipe from corrosion throughout its life cycle.
  • Prevention of Galvanic Corrosion: These composite, non-conductive FRP wear pads isolates the pipes from their supports, preventing metal-to-metal contact and eliminating the risk of galvanic corrosion.
  • Prevention of Crevice Corrosion: Our pads protect against crevice corrosion by shielding the pipe at the support points, effectively preventing corrosion from forming.
  • Moisture Prevention: Applying either VHB double-sided tape or a perimeter bead of epoxy around the FRP wear pad edges prevents moisture from becoming trapped, inhibiting conditions that promote corrosion.

This comprehensive approach effectively inhibits the development of corrosion cells on the external surface of the pipe at its support locations. As a result, it prevents significant financial losses and damages that could reach millions or even billions of dollars each year. Additionally, by mitigating the risk of fires and explosions stemming from material leaks, this approach has the potential to save lives.

FRP Pads Installation Methods

Cogbill’s RedLineIPS FRP Wear Pads and Flat Pads come in two variants, based on the installation method, as follows:

RedLineIPS Wear Pads with Two-Part Epoxy

The RedLineIPS Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Wear Pads with two-part epoxy provide an effective solution for preventing external corrosion at pipe support points, safeguarding piping systems from damage. These wear pads are bonded to the pipes using a unique and powerful two-part epoxy, which requires specific tools and accessories for installation, all of which are available from Cogbill. This method ensures a durable and reliable attachment, protecting the pipes from corrosion and extending their service life.
Upon applying the two-part epoxy and installing the pad, a perimeter epoxy bead is added around the pad’s edges. This seals the pad, preventing water ingress and thus stopping corrosion. This also ensures that the FRP pad shields the pipe’s lower external surface from friction and vibration, preserving its protective paint coating. As a result, the FRP wear pad effectively protects against External Corrosion at Pipe Support Points (CUPS) throughout the system’s extended lifecycle of 20-30 years and beyond.
The RedLineIPS FRP Wear Pads are specifically designed, manufactured, and tested for use as pipe supports. Made from multiple layers of continuous strand mat laminated with high-quality vinyl ester resin, this composite material provides high load capacity and a low-friction surface. This design enables the pads to offer effective support and protection for pipes as they move over beams or support locations. The UV-stable material undergoes rigorous load testing to ensure optimal performance in demanding environments, such as marine, offshore, and highly corrosive conditions.

RedLineIPS FRP Wear Pads, when used with our two-part epoxy, deliver high shear and compressive strength, as verified through independent lab testing*. Each pad also features a textured interior profile finish covered by a protective film to enhance adhesion, and prove authenticity.

RedLineIPS Wear Pads with VHB Tape

The installation of the RedLineIPS FRP Wear Pads and Flat Plates using 3M’s VHB (Very High Bond) double-sided tape marks a significant advancement in protecting industrial equipment and structures. Known for its strong adhesive properties, 3M’s VHB tape creates a durable bond without mechanical fasteners or welding.
This installation method is efficient, reducing time and labor costs compared to traditional techniques. The tape ensures a secure, long-lasting attachment that withstands industrial environment rigors, including vibration, temperature fluctuation, and moisture.

The application of 3M’s VHB double-sided tape in installing FRP components is particularly advantageous in settings where corrosion resistance and durability are paramount.

The tape’s ability to distribute stress uniformly across the bond area enhances the protective capabilities of FRP wear pads and flat plates, preventing weak points that could lead to wear or corrosion. Moreover, this method eliminates the need for drilling or welding, preserving the integrity of the protected surfaces and reducing the risk of introducing corrosion points. The ease of use and clean, aesthetically pleasing installation make 3M VHB tape an ideal choice for securing FRP wear pads and flat plates in various industrial applications, from piping systems in chemical plants to infrastructure projects where long-term reliability is critical.
