GRP pipe
Inquire NowDescription
The GRP pipe, branded as “Golden Wave” by Yongchang, is a high-performance solution designed for various industrial applications. Constructed using thermosetting resin as a matrix and reinforced with glass fiber, these pipes come in three distinct types: pure GRP pipe, GRP mortar pipe, and centrifugal casting GRP pipe. The pure GRP pipe is a solid structure, while the GRP mortar pipe incorporates sand to enhance wall thickness and stiffness. The centrifugal casting GRP pipe is made using a specific combination of chopped roving, resin, and sand, resulting in a smooth inner surface and exceptional rigidity.
Performance and Characteristics:
- Corrosion-Resistant: Ideal for transporting a range of acids, alkalis, salts, and organic solvents.
- Lightweight: GRP pipes have a density of 1.7-1.8, which is approximately one-fourth that of steel, without compromising strength.
- High Strength: Designed to handle high pressure, outperforming many traditional materials.
- Long Service Life: Expected to last over 50 years, offering longevity and durability.
- Smooth Interior Surface: Enhances flow capacity by 15%-20% compared to equivalent diameter pipes, saving energy with pumps.
- Easy Installation: Construction efficiency is 5-10 times greater than conventional pipes.
- Environmentally Friendly: Prevents internal contamination and pollution of water quality.
Economic Performance:
- Cost-effective: GRP pipes are 35% cheaper than ductile iron pipes and 15-20% lower than steel pipes, with an even greater advantage when flow capacity is considered.
- Low Installation Expenses: Installation costs do not exceed 5% of the pipe price, making it the easiest option among pipe materials.
Wide Application Scale: Due to their excellent performance-to-price ratio, GRP pipes are extensively used in project construction, water supply and drainage, petroleum, chemical industries, medicine, agriculture, irrigation, and the food industry.
