Hydropower supplies more than 70 % of all renewable electricity worldwide. As readily accessible locations are used up, hydropower engineers are turning to remoter and geologically challenging sites to generate the power we need for cities and industries. Amiblu GRP hydropower solutions are easy to install and adapt to all kind of terrains. They help achieve more kWh with better returns and lower water hammer than any other pipe. With environmentally friendly raw materials in the pipe production (e.g. PET resins) as well as CO2 savings in transportation and installation thanks to the pipes’ light weight, Amiblu GRP penstocks support and speed up the transition to fossil-fuel free energy production.
Flowtite pipe with main reinforcement in the hoop direction. Used in applications without pressure end thrust, for example penstocks, pressure mains, water supply, and cooling water.
| Diameter range (DN) | 300-4000 mm |
| Pressure (PN) | up to 32 bar |
| Nominal lengths | 12, 6, 3 m |
| Stiffness (SN) | 5000/10000 N/m² |
Extra impact resistant, uniaxial pressure pipe with main reinforcement in the hoop direction. Used in hydropower, irrigation, water mains, and other pressure applications. Allows for backfill particle size up to 64 mm (sieve size).
