Bondstrand 2400 and 3400 are glass reinforced epoxy (GRE) pipe systems which can be manufactured to meet specific internal operating pressures be it 10, 16, 20, 25, or 32 bar. Utilising filament winding techniques the wall thickness of the pipe is increased inline with pressure rating (2416 denoting a 16 bar rated system). Employing the IMO guidelines Ameron have worked extensively with many of the major ship owners and received 3rd party marine approval by Lloyds, Germanischer Lloyds, DNV, ABS, RINA, Bureau Veritas, Nippon Kaiji Kyokai and USCG.
