DIAMETERS
GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) pipes manufactured using Effective Filament Winding technology are available in a broad range of diameters to meet diverse project requirements. The typical internal diameters range from DN 300 mm to DN 4000 mm.
However, larger or smaller diameters can be custom-produced based on specific project needs. The diameter selection often depends on the application, such as water transmission, sewage systems, industrial processing, or irrigation projects.
- Common Diameter Ranges: DN 300 mm, DN 500 mm, DN 1000 mm, DN 2000 mm, DN 3000 mm, up to DN 4000 mm.
- Custom Diameters: Custom diameters outside the standard range can be manufactured upon request, ensuring adaptability to unique engineering specifications.
LENGTHS
Standard GRP pipe lengths are typically 3 meters, 6 meters, 9 meters, or 12 meters.
The selection of pipe length is influenced by transportation logistics, installation requirements, and project design considerations.
- Standard Lengths: 3 m, 6 m, 9 m, and 12 m.
- Custom Lengths: Pipes can be produced in custom lengths to minimize the number of joints, which can improve hydraulic performance, reduce installation time, and decrease potential leakage points.
- Considerations for Custom Lengths: When opting for custom lengths, factors such as transport regulations, handling capabilities, and site accessibility are critical to ensure efficient delivery and installation.
PRESSURES
GRP pipes are usually classified in PN ratings that indicate their maximum allowable operating pressure
Here’s a practical “pressure-by-diameter” guide for EFW continuous filament-wound GRP .
-
DN 300 – 1000 → UP TO PN 32
- DN 1100 – 1200 → UP TO PN 25
-
DN 1400 – 1600 → UP TO PN 20
-
DN 1800 – 2400 → UP TO PN 16
-
DN 2600 – 3000 → UP TO PN 10
-
DN 3200 – 4000 → UP TO PN 6
For special projects, it is possible to design higher-pressure pipes; however, these must be custom-engineered to suit the specific conditions and requirements of the project.
