Plastic / GRP Piping material for sea water duty.
Plastic / GRP Piping material for sea water duty.
(OP)
Hi,
Can anyone recommend what material to use for pipework carrying seawater? I was considering going to a glass fibre reinforced plastic system. Is there a recommended plastic to use? Pipe sizes range from 10inch to 20 inch. Pressure is only a few bar.
Our existing piping is internally painted carbon steel - its too small for cathodic protection - and is failing due to poor preparation of the internal surface at welds.
Thanks for your help.

It creeps and has a high coefficient of thermal expansion.
However it does not corrode and has very low friction factors.
