Standard Sizes of FRP Tubing in Stock and Ready to Ship!
Pultruded Fiberglass Tubing is a corrosion resistant structural shape that outlasts traditional building materials like steel and even stainless steel tube. Most corrosive environments will benefit from using either square or round FRP tubing in a wide variety of situations.
Fiberglass tubing weighs approximately one-quarter the weight of comparable steel while providing an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Unlike steel, fiberglass tubing will not corrode and does not require protective coatings to maintain long-term performance.
FRP Tubing is durable, sturdy, lightweight and is easy to install. The corrosion resistant nature of pultruded fiberglass tubing is a strong advantage in situations where moisture or chemicals are present. We use 2” x 2” Square FRP tube in our Fiberglass Railing Systems.
Fiberglass tubing can often be installed without hot work such as welding, helping reduce installation complexity and improving jobsite safety.
Square and Round Tube comes in wall thicknesses ranging from 1/8″ to 3/8″ and various resin systems and colors. Customers typically choose between square and round fiberglass tubing based on project requirements and design preferences, while wall thickness is selected according to structural loading and specification requirements. Fiberglass Tubing has a surface veil to protect against glass fibers penetrating the resin surface in service and to increase corrosion and UV resistance.

Common Applications for FRP Tubing
Fiberglass tubing can be used in virtually any industry where corrosion resistance, low weight, electrical resistance, or long-term durability are important considerations.
National Grating Tubing is a perfect fit for corrosive environments like wastewater treatment plants, industrial and chemical plants, and areas with salt air and pollution corrosion.
Common fiberglass tubing applications include railings, utility structures, industrial platforms, wastewater facilities, marine environments, chemical processing plants, electrical installations, and other corrosive service environments.
Compared to steel and aluminum, fiberglass tubing combines corrosion resistance with low weight, making transportation, handling, and installation easier while reducing long-term maintenance requirements.
Key Benefits of FRP Tubing
- Lightweight
- Easy to install and fabricate in the field
- Corrosion Resistant
- Low electrical conductivity
- Low thermal conductivity
- Structural strength
This makes FRP Tubing the most cost-effective solution long-term, saving on labor and maintenance costs, as well as plant downtime when repairs are necessary.
A common fiberglass tubing application is FRP railing systems used around utility and electrical infrastructure, where corrosion resistance and non-conductive properties provide advantages over traditional metal systems.
Choose the Fiberglass Resin For the Characteristics You Need
We offer 3 levels of corrosion resistance designed for different environments and applications:
STANDARD RESIN
An all-purpose series utilizing an isophthalic polyester resin system with a UV inhibitor. The resin system can be formulated to meet NSF requirements.
Color: Green
FIRE RETARDANT
An all-purpose series utilizing a fire retardant isophthalic polyester resin system with a UV inhibitor. Equivalent spec to Strongwell Extren 525 tubing and Dynaform from Fiberglass Grating.
Colors: Dark gray or Yellow
All flame-retardant fiberglass structural shapes have a flame spread rating of 25 or less in accordance with ASTM E-84. According to the Structural Shapes brochure, fire-retardant products also meet UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements.
VINYL ESTER
A premium series — both fire retardant and highly corrosion resistant — utilizing a vinyl ester resin system with a UV inhibitor. Vinyl ester fiberglass tubing is commonly selected for more aggressive chemical environments and applications involving higher temperatures or oxidizing chemicals.
Color: Beige

Fiberglass Tubing and Radio Frequency Transparency
In today’s connected world, we depend on cellular telephone signals, Wi-Fi networks and over the air radio and television signals. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity are essential to on-site work environments. Steel structures significantly disrupt these signals. Fiberglass structures and components such as fiberglass tubing and fiberglass tubes are an essential part of FRP building structures that are “electronically transparent” and do not interfere with radio frequency transmissions.
