Thermal FR Composite Piping PP vs PP-FRP Piping

PIPING VIEW

JOINING STRENGTH

Socket Fusion joining system guaranteeing 100% Leak Proof element in pipes

Butt Fusion Joints with FRP Coating gives very poor joints and leads to highest leakages

THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY

Lowest Thermal Conductivity 0.024 But/hr leading to Negligible Heat Loss

Higher Thermal Conductivity 0.066 Btu/hr leading to higher Heat Loss

FRICTION LOSS RELATED TO

RA VALUE

Least RA Value i.e. 0.1 Micron prevent Friction Loss in the pipeline

6.5 Micron RA Value leads to higher Friction Loss due to rough inner surface and Butt Fusion Joints

INSULATION

Sandwich Glass Fiber Reinforcement layer increases the temperature withstand capacity; in turn requires lesser insulation to prevent sweating

Even after FRP Coating, needs insulation to prevent sweating and heat loss leads to higher costing

MAINTENANCE NIL Maintenance having benefits such as Least Thermal Expansion and Sagging

High chances of Maintenance because of leakages and higher Thermal Expansion leads to heavy maintenance

AESTHETIC PIPING VIEW

Owing to Sandwich Glass Fiber Reinforcement layer, very less sagging gives nice and Aesthetic View to the pipeline

Having FRP Coating, disordering and messy view of the pipeline
