Choosing pipes can be tough as there are various varieties of pipes available in the market. So when selecting pipes various elements should be understood like firstly what will the main purpose of the pipes for example whether pipes will be used for commercial or industrial purpose, secondly we should also look at durability and benefits which suit the purpose and then picking the pipes is just a piece of cake.
Among the various pipes used widely across industries GRP pipes are gaining popularity for their unique combination of Glass fiber reinforced and plastic. However to be used a finished product they undergo continuous filament winding process. GRP pipes are ideally custom manufactured in 6m to 12m lengths;however they can be custom made to suit a specific project.
The key raw materials used to make GRP pipes thermoset resins for example vinyl ester or isophthalic polyester resin, Glass Fibre Reinforcements with low density surface veils, chopped strand mats and rovings which may be woven or continuous. Additives or Solvents are also used like wax in styrene, thixotropic and ultra violetinteresting agents. Accelerators or Organizerslike DEA, DMA and cobalt naphthenate.
GRP pipes are ideal for use as their installation is easy and not time consuming unlike metallic pipes. GRP pipes are also durable as well as cost efficient. GRP pipes are used in the as they play a vital role in transforming various applications with their specialised benefits across the following industries automotive industry, aerospace industry, water and wastewater management, chemical industry, electrical industry and in the manufacturing of various sports equipments.
As compared to other pipes namely metallic pipes made of copper, PVC, ABS, GRP pipes have the following superiorities and advantages.
• GRP pipes are corrosion resistant as their composition materials are uniquely blended.
• GRP pines are bad conductors and also are unaffected by induction flow.
• Elastic property of GRP pipes makes them ideal for use in underground projects.
• GRP pipes exhibit low friction means less energy is required to pump.
• GRP pipes have low maintenance and operational costs.
