Connecting GRP Pipes: Advantages & Procedure of Different Connections
The best grp pipes and fittings reach their full potential only with reliable connection methods. Fiberpipe offers a variety of connection types tailored to different applications – whether bonding, laminating, socketing, or flanging.
Inhalt
1. Bonding Connection – Fast and Reliable
Bonding is the most commonly used method worldwide for connecting GRP pipes and fittings. This simple and cost-effective technique has proven itself for over 20 years.
Process:
Pipes are cut to the required length.
Bonding surfaces are roughened, and adhesive is applied.
The pipe end is inserted into the socket, fixed, and cured.
Advantages:
Quick and cost-effective assembly
Long-term stability and watertightness
2. Laminating Connection – Classic and Robust
Laminating is a proven method for securely connecting GRP parts. It is ideal for demanding environments requiring maximum durability.
Process:
Surfaces are sanded.
Resin-impregnated glass mats and fabrics are applied layer by layer.
Once the desired wall thickness is achieved, the laminate is cured and made load-bearing.
Advantages:
High load capacity and chemical resistance
Flexible adaptation to various requirements
3. Socket Connection – Efficient for Long Runs
The socket connection is specifically designed for long pipe runs, ensuring quick and straightforward installation.
Process:
Pipes are pushed together.
A heated locking rod is inserted through the groove in the socket area.
Additional fittings are bonded to secure the connection.
Advantages:
Time-saving installation
Perfect for long, straight pipe layouts
