Fiberglass has a higher ratio of strength to weight than steel does, and it is also completely rust proof, unlike steel.
Fiberglass grating is made to look similar to metal grates in industral use, but since it is made of fiberglass it is corrosion and impact resistant. Fiberglass grating has low electric and heat conductivity and can be made strong enough for fork lifts or even trucks to travel over.
Great material for oil lines /natural gas /steam / hydronics / condensate /chilled water piping /air
over here in Nigeria,we use concrete and fiberglass. they r durable
by heating washer
sounds same to me.maybe you meant advantage of LC filter over RC filter
Fiberglass can be a bit more durable then aluminum or steel. It is also much easier to work with and looks a lot better then the others. Fiberglass grates tend to be lighter than metal grates and may offer a better load capacity depending on the type of grate. They are inherently lighter as the material is designed to be lightweight whereas aluminum and steel grates are selected for their durability and reliability.

steel plow never broke
A fiberglass column would be lighter and would withstand the weathering a wood column would. Also fiberglass is not susceptible to termites nor do they need to be sealed as wood would.
Steel is stronger, more flexible and can hold an edge better.
Anyone who is wondering the advantage of using a steel rule over a wooden one they would quickly find that the steel rule is much more durable and easy to read. The wooden rule is quite prone to break if accidentally used wrong.
Many stainless steels are stronger. It's also more corrosion resistant.
Fiberglass does not adhere well to PVC, which is commonly used in inflatable boats, as the two materials have different properties and chemical compositions. While you could technically layer fiberglass onto the bottom of an inflatable boat, the bond may not be strong enough to create a rigid hull, and it could lead to delamination or separation over time. Additionally, the added weight may affect the boat's performance and buoyancy. It's generally not recommended to modify inflatable boats in this way.
It is generally not recommended to put fiberglass over aluminum, however, people do it. An epoxy polymer resin is usually suggested, and the fiberglass should be very clean.
Smaller vessels where the hull is made using a mold are easiest done upside down. When the fiberglass or other resin based material has hardened it is easier to remove the mold and then flip the hull. Making a boat hull that is made form wood is best done from the outside. The easiest way to reach all parts of the hull is to have the hull upside down and then flip it over with a crane when you are ready to put on the deck and other parts.

Yes, saltwater can damage fiberglass boats over time if not properly maintained. Saltwater can cause corrosion, weakening of the hull, and deterioration of the gelcoat. Regular rinsing and washing of the boat with fresh water after use in saltwater can help prevent damage.
