| Advantages gained from using
Fibreglass Reinforced Plastics include: |
| · |
Corrosion resistance to internal and
external environments, pH range 1.5 - 12; |
| · |
No maintenance costs from cathodic
protection, chemicals, injection equipment, or corrosion
monitoring infrastructure. |
| · |
Cost savings in capital expenditure
and installation |
| · |
Excellent strength to weight ratios
- 25% of the weight of an equivalent product in
steel. |
| · |
Pressure capabilities to 24 MPa in
smaller pipes |
| · |
Temperature range capability to 100oC
for standard product. Higher temperature product
available for specific applications. |
| · |
Light weight, reducing the need for
lifting equipment |
| · |
Only small installation teams necessary
