GRP Pressur Pipe - Water

GRP Pressur Pipe - Water

GRP Pressur Pipe - Water

(OP)
I need to compare the advantages of GRP pressure pipe for raw water with ductile iron and steel.

I have no experience of GRP - I would welcome any advice on potential problems of GRP buried pipe installation.

Diameters are 400mm to 1700 mm pressure rating up to 25 Bar.

Thanks

Brian

RE: GRP Pressur Pipe - Water

Dear Bris to make comparison between GRP/GRE and DI/Steel, by knowing the following factors you will be able to make appropriate selection;
1. Raw water properties (TDS, PH, Temperature...etc)
2. the depth of the cover from the ground level to the top of the pipe (DI/Steel can sustain load more than GRP/GRE).
3. the siol codition and properties.
4. the climatic condition.

In common GRP/GRE installation and maintenance is esier than DI/Steel pipes.
