GRE Pipe VS Steal Pipe
Compared with steel pipe, GRE pipe has the following advantages:

1. Better corrosion resistance & longer service life

2. Compared with steel pipe , the specific gravity of GRE pipe is only about 1/4 of steel pipe & it has higher specific strength, while the thermal conductivity coefficient is only about 0.5% of steel, making it a good heat transfer insulator.

3. Lower installation & maintenance costs. GRE pipe does not require special anti-corrosion treatment, which reduces initial investment & later  maintenance costs. The pipe is lighter in weight & can be connected without welding. Compared with steel pipe,the installation cost is lower.

4. Under normal use,the inner surface of steel pipe,often becomes rough due to local corrosion, thereby increasing pressure head loss & causing  waste of transmission energy.The inner surface of the GRE pipe almost is considered as a hydraulically smooth pipe to consider the energy loss        of fluid transportation.
Therefore, when transporting fluids with the same flow rate, a smaller diameter fluid transport pipeline or a smaller power fluid transport pump can be used, so that reduce the initial investment of the project, while saving electricity & reducing operating costs.
