FRP pipe


The sand-core FRP pipe is manufactured using a specialized process with resin (food-grade resin for potable water applications), fiberglass reinforcement, and quartz sand as raw materials.

Suitable Fields

1. Potable water transportation;

2. Sewage discharge;

3. Seawater transportation;

4. Power plant circulating water pipelines;

5. Transportation of corrosive media in chemical plants:

6. Oil and gas transportation;

7. Agricultural irrigation.

Advantages of FRP Sand-Core Pipes

1. Excellent Corrosion Resistance & Water Safety

FRP pipes resist acids, alkalis, salts, seawater, untreated sewage, corrosive soils/groundwater, and various chemical fluids without affecting water quality.

2. Anti-Fouling & Microorganism Resistance

The smooth, non-reactive surface of unsaturated polyester resin prevents fouling by marine organisms (e.g., barnacles) and microbial growth.

3. Thermal Stability (-50°C to 110°C)

  • Maintains strength and toughness at -30°C

  • Long-term service range: -50°C to 80°C

  • Special resin formulations allow operation above 110°C

4. Lightweight & High Strength for Easy Installation

  • Density: 1.65–2.0 g/cm³ (1/4 the weight of steel)

  • Tensile strength:

    • Hoop: 180–300 MPa

    • Axial: 60–150 MPa

  • Bell-and-spigot joints enable rapid installation

5. Low Friction Loss & High Flow Efficiency

  • Ultra-smooth interior (Hazen-Williams coefficient n=0.0084) vs:

    • Concrete pipe (n=0.014)

    • Cast iron (n=0.013)

  • Reduces head loss by 20–40% compared to traditional materials

6. Electrical & Thermal Insulation

  • Volume resistivity: 10¹²–10¹⁵ Ω·cm

  • Thermal conductivity: 0.23 W/(m·K) (0.5% of steel)

7. Abrasion Resistance & Low Maintenance

  • No need for:

    • Cathodic protection (saves >70% maintenance costs)

    • Anti-corrosion coatings

    • Insulation upkeep

8. Customizable Design Flexibility

Tailored pressure ratings (up to 6.4 MPa) and stiffness classes (SN2500–SN10000) for project-specific requirements.

9. 50+ Year Service Life (Verified)

Accelerated aging tests confirm >50-year lifespan in buried conditions.

10. Superior Life-Cycle Economics

  • Lower total cost for large diameters (economies of scale)

  • Zero routine maintenance for underground installations
