In Comparison with metal piping system, GRE piping takes below advantages:
Corrosion Resistance:
the inner and outer surface of the pipe can prevent different kinds of chemical media, oil, chemical leftover, waste water and polymer from oil field, corrosion media like microbes in erosional environment from corroding.
Light Weight and Easy to Install:
The density of fiberglass is only 24% of steal. So compared to the steel pipes, fiberglass pipes are much easier to install.
Low Cost and High Benefit:
The smooth inner surface of fiberglass pipes can reduce a substantial friction from the fluid, so the size of the pipes and pump system or the power of the pump can be reduced.
Powering Saving:
Fiberglass pipes have lower heat loss than steel pipes
Connection system and range of application:
The full pipe system with different diameter, pressure level, connection method and temperature level can be selected depends on the users’ different application needs.
Low cost for life period:
The fiberglass pipes nearly need maintenance after installation and running. Compared to steel pipes, they have low cost for life period.
