TORRES-RAMIREZ, Luis Alejandro. Maximum speeds due to abrasion in GRP pipes. Figempa [online]. 2024, vol.18, n.2, e6671.  Epub 19-Jul-2024. ISSN 2602-8484.  https://doi.org/10.29166/revfig.v18i2.6671.

It has been the permanent concern of Municipal Company engineers in the country, regarding the determination of maximum speeds and the problems related to abrasion in plastic pipes. Parameters that can cause the loss of wall thickness in sanitary and storm sewer pipes. This article establishes the research obtained in laboratory tests on GRP pipes (fiberglass reinforced polyester) that with new innovations and chemical formulations (silicon carbide), is currently more resistant to the phenomenon of abrasion and therefore to the velocity of the fluid. It shows that, although abrasion test methods may vary, the results obtained in the tests carried out are consistent in the laboratory and verified in the field.

Palabras clave : GRP; plastic; abrasion; velocity.
