FRP grilles are stronger than steel grilles in many functions. From the perspective of sustainable development, FRP grilles will gradually be replaced by steel grilles and become an energy-saving option. The following fiberglass compares the two in terms of weight, cost, protection and function.
1. Weight.
FRP is a composite of resin and glass fiber. Its density is relatively low. Compared with steel grids, the density of FRP grilles is only 1/4 of steel and 2/3 of aluminum, but its strength is 10 times that of rigid polyvinyl chloride. Its absolute strength exceeds that of aluminum and reaches the level of ordinary steel. It has a light weight and can greatly reduce the foundation support and the material cost of the project.
2. Cost.
The cost of equipment can be compared from the cost of equipment and the cost of products. Because the weight of FRP grilles is simple, compared with steel grilles, it saves manpower and material resources during installation and does not require the use of slings. In terms of product production cost, since the raw material of FRP grating is a new type of material, the cost of FRP grating is slightly higher, but from the perspective of later maintenance and service life, the overall cost is lower than that of steel grating.
3. Later maintenance.
After the glass grating is installed, it almost does not need maintenance and has a long service life; after the steel grating is installed, it should be maintained and protected to prevent rust.
4. Corrosion resistance.
FRP grating is resistant to corrosion by acids, alkalis, organic solvents and other gas and liquid media, and has an incomparable advantage in corrosion resistance. Unlike traditional steel gratings, it will not rust due to electrochemical corrosion under the action of chemical media, and will not cause damage to the material structure.
In all aspects, the advantages of FRP grating are far greater than those of steel grating, and it is an upgraded and upgraded product of traditional iron wood, cement and other materials. Therefore, the application prospects of FRP are very broad.
