What are the advantages of FRP pipes?

Resin, fiber reinforcement, and filler are the main raw materials for fiberglass pipes. There are many advantages to using fiberglass pipes, as follows:

• Good corrosion resistance. Since the main raw materials of FRP are polymer unsaturated polyester resin and glass fiber, it can effectively resist the corrosion of acid, alkali, salt, and other media, as well as the corrosion of untreated domestic sewage, corrosive soil, chemical wastewater, and many chemical liquids. In general, pipelines are safe to operate for a long time.
• Good design ability. FRP pipelines can be designed and manufactured with different pressure levels and stiffness levels according to the specific requirements of users such as different flow rates, different pressures, different buried depths, and loads.
• Good abrasion resistance. Put the water containing a lot of mud and sand into the pipeline to carry out the comparative test of rotating wear. After 3 million rotations, the wear depth of the inner wall of the detection pipe is as follows: 00.53mm of steel pipe coated with tar and enamel. Therefore, FRP has good wear resistance.

The following points should be paid attention to when laying fiberglass pipes:

• The bottom of the trench of the FRP pipeline is uneven, and there are sharp objects such as hard clods and stones that obstruct the pipeline.
• There is a large amount of water in the pipe trench, and the pipe trench collapses.
• The impact of sharp objects such as stones and mechanical backfill in the backfill of the pipe trench.

With the acceleration of urbanization and the need for advanced science and technology, pipes and pipe fittings have rich varieties and specifications, increased production, and improved quality, especially the rapid development of glass fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP), which has become a hot material today.

FRP pipe is a kind of light, high-strength, corrosion-resistant non-metal pipeline. It is made of resin and glass fiber reinforced material by one special technology. This kind of pipe has the advantages of corrosion resistance, anti-leakage performance, heat insulation performance, lightweight, high strength, long service life, strong design of the cooling tower, small fluid resistance, convenient installation, and low comprehensive cost. 

FRP pipe has the advantages of reliability, safety, and economy. It is mainly used for buried pipes and long-distance transmission pipelines. It has the characteristics of lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, long service life, low operation, and maintenance cost, and will save a lot of money for construction projects.

FRP pipe

FRP Pipe has the advantages:

• Light weight and high strength: the proportion of FRP sand pipe is 1.65~ 2.0. For the unit length weight of the same pipe diameter, only carbon steel is 1/3, FRP pipe is only 1/5 of cast iron pipe, and prestressed concrete pipe is 1/10, which reduces the hoisting cost and improves the installation speed.

• Good hydraulic characteristics: this characteristic is particularly prominent in the field of water supply and drainage, and its hydraulic characteristics are good.

1. FRP pipe can save the pumping cost of the pipe network.

2. Reduce pipe diameter size.

3. Shorten the pumping time.

4. FRP pipe long-term water transmission does not scale, without cleaning, so that the water quality is not subject to secondary pollution.

• Good water resistance and corrosion resistance: the corrosion resistance of FRP pipeline is excellent, reducing the corrosion cost and prolonging the service life; At the same time because of no rust, so that water quality is not subject to secondary pollution. It can also be used for conveying sewage, mud, seawater, and other media.

• Pressure resistance: according to the pressure required by the process, design, and manufacture pipes and fittings, with 1.5 times the pressure required by the process for the hydraulic test.

• Non-toxic, it can be used to transport drinking water.

Overall, the benefits of FRP pipes make them a popular choice for various industrial and commercial applications where corrosion resistance, durability, and cost-effectiveness are essential considerations.
