Equipment Details
Product Name: Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Small Sign Support
Description:
The sign post system consists of a 3-inch outside diameter FRP post composed of polyester resin (Owens-Corning Fiberglass) OCF E-440 Type Orthophthalic) and glass fiber reinforcement (OCF Roving 113, Yield T-30 or equivalent). The fiber-reinforced tube is manufactured by a process called "pultrusion", whereby longitudinal and diagonal glass fibers are combined with a resin. A surface veil of woven glass fiber completes the 1/8-inch thick wall of the tube. This FRP post is inserted into a 28-inch long, 3.10-inch to 3.125-inch inside diameter ceramic coated steel tube (wall thickness of 0.062 to 0.095 inches) which has been flattened for 12 inches to prevent rotation. Self-tapping screws secure the post in place.
