  RPS Composites provides advice, field service, and equipment to industrial customers that move, store, or process corrosive fluids, and it's my job to help those customers find us when they need us. In addition to brand awareness, part of my role is educational. There's considerable unfamiliarity with composites among professionals who specify equipment, and rather than choose the best material for the job, they often go with what they know. FRP and dual laminates are naturally corrosion resistant and unlike metallics, require little maintenance. In services with less than 150 psi and temperatures at 212F or less, there's a chance we can manufacture equipment that will provide optimal performance at lower lifetime cost. With ASME NM.2 compliance and RTP-1 certification our customers get the best manufacturing standards in the industry.In addition to manufacturing we also excel at Field Service. We deploy teams from eight Inspection, Distribution, and Service Centers throughout the US to help our customers extend the life of their composite equipment. We're often called on to perform inspections, re-lining, and thermoplastic welding by asset owners and mechanical contractors looking for craftwork. Learn more at RPSComposites.com
