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
