Polymer concrete is a composite material which has strength and durability characteristics greatly superior to those of Portland cement concrete and better durability than steel. Polymer concrete has been successfully tested in brine, flashing brine and steam at temperatures up to 260/sup 0/C. Exposures were as long as 960 days. Glass filament wound polymer concrete pipe was developed with excellent strength, low weight, and a cost comparable to or less than schedule 40 steel. Connections can be made with slip joints for low pressure applications and flanged joints for high pressure applications.
