Product Benefits:
- Made of non-metallic material that is resistant against corrosion. Since there is no corrosion, it does not require cathodic protection and additional isolation material.
- Therefore, there are no operational difficulties and costs.
- Electrically insulated and is not affected by geomagnetically induced currents.
- Losses due to friction are minimal thanks to its smooth inner surface and this advantage does not change throughout its long life.
- Thanks to its high Hazen-Williams coefficient, low hydraulic losses require less pumping energy. Long-term energy saving compensates for pipe costs.
- Provides huge savings on transport costs as the pipes can be transported nested one inside the other.
- It has about 1/4the weight of steel pipes, 1/5 of ductile iron pipes, and 1/10 of concrete pipes.
- Does not require expensive installation equipment. Installation is fast and easy. It is time-saving.
- It is flexible. Successfully implemented in earthquake zones (when compared to steel and concrete pipes).
- Can be used in excessively high pH conditions.
- Safe under pressure and in case of sudden release.
- No limescale deposits nor sediments
- Can be laid inside the existing old pipes in case of relining applications for pipeline rehabilitation.
- Suitable for changing pipeline’s direction at low angle without use of fittings thanks to the angular deviation capability of the GRP couplings.
- It has few joints; needs few seals.
