Fa'amau fa'apipi'i, e masani ona ta'ua o le lipine fa'apipi'i, o se oloa e fa'aogaina ai ie, pepa, ata tifaga, ma isi mea e fai ma mea fa'avae.O le fa'apipi'i o lo'o fa'aoga tutusa i le mea o lo'o i luga, fa'agaoioi i se fasi pepa, ona fai lea i totonu o se vili mo le tu'uina atu.O le lipine fa'apipi'i e aofia ai vaega e tolu: mea fa'apipi'i, fa'apipi'i, ma pepa fa'amatu'u (ata).

O le ituaiga o substrate o le faʻavasegaga masani masani mo lipine faʻapipiʻi.E tusa ai ma substrates eseese o loʻo faʻaaogaina, e mafai ona vaevaeina lipine faʻapipiʻi i ni vaega se ono: pepa faʻapipiʻi pepa, ie faʻapipiʻi ie, faʻapipiʻi ata tifaga, mea faʻapipiʻi uʻamea, lipine foam, ma mea e le o se mea faʻapipiʻi.

E le gata i lea, e mafai foi ona faʻavasegaina faʻamau faʻapipiʻi e faʻatatau i lo latou aoga ma le ituaiga faʻapipiʻi faʻaaogaina.E tusa ai ma lo latou aoga, e mafai ona vaevaeina le faʻapipiʻi faʻapipiʻi i luga o le vevela maualuga, faʻamaufaʻailoga lua, faʻamau faʻamau, ma mea faʻapitoa, ma isi;E tusa ai ma le ituaiga o mea faʻapipiʻi, e mafai ona vaevaeina le faʻapipiʻi faʻapipiʻi i totonu o le vai-faʻavae lipine, faʻapipiʻi suauʻu, faʻapipiʻi faʻapipiʻi, lipine faʻafefe vevela, ma le paʻu paʻu masani.O mea fa'apipi'i fa'apipi'i e iai le tele o fa'aoga i olaga o tagata i aso ta'itasi ma galuega tau alamanuia.Faatasi ai ma le faʻaauau pea o le faʻaleleia atili o tekinolosi gaosiga o mea faʻapipiʻi, ua faʻaauau pea ona atiaʻe galuega fou mo lipine faʻapipiʻi.Ua faʻalauteleina mai faʻamaufaʻailoga faavae, fesoʻotaʻiga, faʻamautu, puipuiga ma isi galuega i galuega faʻapitoa eseese e pei o le faʻafefeteina, insulation, conductivity, maualuga le vevela tetee, corrosion resistance, etc.
