GRE Tubing

Glass reinforced epoxy (GRE) piping systems are used for demanding clients operating in the Marine & Offshore, Oil & Gas and (Petro)chemical markets. GRE is often used for utilities such as cooling and fire-fighting systems where the requirements for reliability and mechanical strength are high. The superior axial and circumferential mechanical values distinguish themselves positively from other, glass fibre-reinforced piping systems.

GRE tubing for oil & gas and offshore utilities

Glass reinforced epoxy (GRE) piping systems serve demanding clients in Marine & Offshore, Oil & Gas, and (petro)chemical markets. GRE tubing is often selected for utilities such as cooling and fire-fighting systems where reliability and mechanical strength matter, and where superior axial and circumferential mechanical values help it stand out among glass fibre-reinforced piping options.

Compared with metallic tubing in corrosive service, GRE offers light weight, high-temperature capability as designed for the grade, high corrosion and erosion resistance, and non-toxic, non-contaminating properties. Operators look for long life expectancy and reliability in hydrocarbon applications, good mechanical strength at elevated temperatures, and minimal maintenance thanks to the reinforced nonmetallic material. GRE tubing quality is actively monitored to keep results consistent—confirm the exact rating for your medium and temperature with CNPS.
