Addition to excellent anti-corrosive qualities, pipes, made of fiberglass, and have many other advantages over metal pipes. For example, they are almost four times lighter than metal pipes. Their installation is much cheaper than the installation of metal pipes, because you do not need to use a welding machine, spend the electrodes, etc., is sufficient to use modern tools – such as the production of well-known firm Makita. Among other things, glass-fiber pipes have excellent hydraulic characteristics within them do not accumulate corrosive deposits, as well as they well to high pressure and axial load. With regard to the life of pipes made of fiberglass, it is about forty – fifty years.
The classification of fiberglass pipes running on indicators of rigidity and nominal pressure. Thus, the thicker the pipe wall, so it is harder, the better it can withstand various loads. With respect to the nominal pressure fiberglass pipe, they are called the maximum safe pressure of water at temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius. Measure the pressure in megapascal. Today, fiberglass pipe run different hardness and different values of water pressure. How, for example, heat guns and other industrial equipment, fiberglass pipe is now easy to find and buy on the Internet, specialized electronic stores.
GRP pipes are used today for: technical and potable plumbing, drainage devices municipal and industrial purposes, transportation of petroleum products, pipeline, equipment ventilation and construction of wells.
