GRP Pipes

GRP  Pipe  Benefits 

The advantages of GRP pipes are:

· Light weight, where weight of GRP is only ? the weight of ductile iron pipe and is around 1/10  the weight of concrete pipe. 

· Corrosion resistance, where GRP pipes are known for their long, effective service life, and they do not require any type of protection like cathodic protection, and hydraulic characteristics essentially remain unchanged over time.

· Extremely smooth bore, where low friction loss means less pumping energy is needed, plus less slime build up can help in lowering the cleaning cost.

· Low maintenance cost, where GRP pipes are easy to maintain because it does not rust, it is easily cleaned, and require minimal or no protection from environment.

· Electric properties, GPP pipes are non-conductive. However, conductive pipes could be produced if electric conductivity is needed, in order to dissipate static electricity buildup when transporting certain fluids.

· Long section of pipes, since pipe standard length could reach up to 12 m, where fewer joints are needed which reduces the installation time and cost.

· Dimensional stability, where GRP pipes can maintain the critical tolerance required for the most demanding structural and piping application. 

· Material properties, where GRP pipes meets the most stringent requirements as far as chemical resistance and mechanical strength. Easy for alteration, where pipes could be cut and jointed to form any type of fittings, like elbows with any angle, Tee with different branches, reducers  Moreover, pipes edges could be modified to suite other types of piping material or accessories.
