Superlit Boru San. A.S
Glassfiber Reinforced Polyester (GRP) Pipes
Although standard lengths are 6 m and 12 m, SUPERLIT GRP pipes can be manufactured with the lengths required, only limited by transportation capabilities. Comprising of thermosetting resin and silica sand reinforced with glass fiber, a GRP pipe is a composite material that has flexible characteristics.

Benefits
Long Service Life:
- Pipes are designed in compliance with the international standards to serve a minimum of 50 years. Operating and maintenance costs are negligibly small.
- The smooth inner surface of SUPERLIT GRP pipes reduces hydraulic losses. Thanks to its smooth inner surface, friction loss is at a minimum, and it keeps this characteristic throughout its entire service life.
- SUPERLIT GRP pipe joints are designed with the flexible connection method, and the sealing is provided by couplings having full-face integrated elastomeric seal.
- It has approximately 1/4 the weight of steel pipes, approximately 1/5 of ductile pipes, and approximately 1/10 of concrete pipes.
- GRP pipes with varying diameters can be nested together and thus, more pipes can be transported using less vehicles. This means the cost of transportation can be lowered.
- Installation is fast and easy.
- Requires no special equipment for handling and mounting. Being lightweight means easy installation, even for longer pipe lengths.
Resistance against corrosion and chemicals:
- It does not corrode since it is not manufactured with metallic materials.
- As a standard, it is designed to serve in a wide pH range.
- It has insulation properties and is not influenced by electric current.
- It does not require cathodic protection.
- It does not require inner and outer coating.
- Additional pressure increases occurring due to surges are far less when compared with metal pipes. They are designed to absorb 40% of the surge pressure, without increasing the pressure class.
