Applications of FRP GRP Pipe
GRP Pipes or Glass Reinforced Plastics pipes are composite material pipes consisting of a polymer matrix that is reinforced with glass fibres. They have very high corrosion resistance ability and are thus used widely for low-temperature corrosion-resistant applications. In recent times, GRP pipes are slowly replacing steel in various services like fire and water services. At the same time, GRE or GRP pipes can withstand high pressures. In many places, the term FRP pipe is used interchangeably for GRP pipes. In this article, we will explore an overview of GRP Pipes. GRP Family GRP: Glass–fibre reinforced plastic. GRE: Glass–fibre-reinforced epoxy. GRV: Glass–fibre vinyl ester. GRUP: Glass – fibre reinforced unsaturated polyester. The different types of pipes are selected according to the required properties like chemical resistance, temperature resistance, and mechanical properties. Characteristics of GRP Pipe Corrosion resistance: Corrosion ...
