Characteristics of GRP: HIGH RATIO OF MECHANICAL STRENGTH TO WEIGHT: as GRP possesses a low relative density (from 1,6 - 1,9kg/dm) it is stronger than a steel structure at an equal weight. FLEXIBILITY OF INSTALLATION: possibility of use all methods used for installation of other materials. HIGH CORROSION RESISTANCE: GRP is made with materials that are intrinsically resistant to water, solvents, acids and basic chemicals LOW COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION: the inner liner has a particularly smooth surface EASY AND QUICK INSTALLATION: with bell & spigot joint the installation is easy and very quick, the joints do not require any welding nor protections REDUCED NEED FOR INSTALLATION: GRP pipes are very light weight making easier the handling activities NO MAINTENANCE: GRP pipes require no maintenance nor inspection.
