FLOWTITE™ GRP pipe systems - Iplex

1 Australian manufactured GRP pressure & non- pressure pipeAustralian manufactured GRP pressure & non- pressure pipeFLOWTITE GRP pipe systemsProduct overvIeWFLOWTITE GRP pipe systemsFLOWTITE is a continuously wound glass fibre reinforced polymer (GRP) pipe , suitable for pressure and non pressure applications. First produced in Norway in 1971, the process has been refined over the past four decades to become the State-of-the-Art technology in GRP pipe manufacture. The technology is now being licensed on all continents with more than forty winding machines operating in twenty one pipe factories Australian technology licence is owned by RPC pipe systems of Adelaide and through an exclusive partnership, Australian and New Zealand technical marketing, sales and distribution is provided by Iplex processPipes and fittings are manufactured in sizes ranging from DN300 to DN3000 for both pressure and non- pressure applications.

2 The manufacturing process is continuous and automated, which allows for rapid production rates with exceptional quality control. To optimise material usage, resin, glass fibre and filler materials are applied to a continuously advancing mandrel producing a highly engineered composite pipe giving both high pressure resistance and pipe stiffness. flowtite GRP pipes are manufactured in 3m, 6m and 12m lengths depending on the application with other lengths available on request. The process allows for flexibility in design including the ability to modify resin type depending on the application. The resulting flowtite pipe provides high strength, chemical resistance and excellent hydraulic Pipelines Australia and New ZealandIplex Pipelines is a major Australasian manufacturer and supplier of plastic pipes and fittings suitable for civil, plumbing, irrigation, industrial and mining applications.

It has a low jointing effort with practical angular deflection for minor or major changes in pipe alignment (or in areas prone to mine subsidence). the same couplings can be used on cut pipes and fittingsan extensive range of standard flowtite grP fittings is available together with custom-made fittings to suit individual requirementsallows for standard and special layout configurations.
