GRP vs HDPE Pipe Comparison Guide

GRP pipe has significantly higher tensile strength and modulus of elasticity than HDPE pipe, allowing it to have thinner walls while maintaining pressure ratings. GRP pipe properties can also be customized for applications by varying fiber orientation in manufacturing, while HDPE pipe properties are uniform. GRP pipe requires little to no maintenance due to its 50-year design life, while HDPE pipe needs periodic maintenance.
