Corrosion Resistance |
Excellent resistance to a variety of fluidic systems Additional liners and coating not usually required Biggest distinguishing factor over conventional pipe |
Fatigue Endurance |
Strength-to-Weight Ratio |
Very high ratio - excellent efficiency Surpasses cast iron, steel, stainless steel and concrete |
Better fatigue endurance limits than metals Flatter S-N curve characteristics |
Lightweight Construction Materials |
Comparable pipe weight 10 % of concrete pipe Comparable pipe weight 25 % of steel pipe Lower shipping, handling and transportation weight Reduced energy requirements due to lower weight |
Electrical Conductivity |
Non-conductive electrical properties Conductive properties may be tailored into design |
Dimensional Stability |
Maintains critical dimensional tolerances well |
Low Maintenance |
Cost: Does not undergo corrosive attack over time Easier to clean and maintain smooth wall conditions Minimal environmental protection required |
Complex Shapes |
Highly adaptable to complex shapes and contours More adaptable than conventional materials |
