Costeffective

LightWeight
GRP/FRP pipes weights only 25% as much as similar steel pipe and 10% as much as similar concrete product.

Lowthermalconductivity
Low thermal conductivity of GRP/FRP pipes not only causes low temperature losses but also in many cases

Smoothinsidesurface
The smooth interior of GRP/FRP pipes results in low fluid resistance, which could lower horse power
