Advancing globalization in apparatus and plant construction is leading to ever higher demands being made in terms of efficiency and performance on the many various components and on complex piping elements in particular. These construction elements usually need to resist high internal pressures and temperatures as well as the influence of aggressive media. Often, the diverse technical demands can only be met by employing new materials and by using appropriate construction techniques and manufacturing technologies. A lightweight and low-cost alternative to conventional metals and the now well-established apparatus construction material of glass fiber reinforced plastics in wire wrap technique form the group of novel textile composite materials which, apart from a very high design flexibility in terms of shaping and the load-adapted reinforcing arrangement, specifically offer a considerable cost-saving potential. This makes the plastic composite structures with requisite textile reinforcement virtually predestined for cost-effective pipeline systems in chemical apparatus construction with its typical range of construction elements such as T-pipe pieces, angle pieces, reducing pieces or also pipe pieces.
