Material Composition | Chemical Plants, Corrosive Environments | Industry: Cast Iron (2500 psi compressive strength) // Base: FRP (45,000 psi ASTM D790 ▲▲) // Advanced: CFRP (60,000 psi ASTM D790 ▲) | Lighter weight reduces installation costs; Base/Advanced resist corrosion (▲▲ vs cast iron) | Base/Advanced have lower compressive strength under extreme pressure (e.g., heavy machinery) |
Weight per Unit Area | Mobile Installations, Lightweight Systems | Industry: 22 kg/m² (cast iron) // Base: 8 kg/m² (FRP ▲▲) // Advanced: 6 kg/m² (CFRP ▲) | Easier handling and transport; reduces structural load requirements | May require reinforcement in high-stress zones (e.g., seismic areas) |
Corrosion Resistance | Marine, Chemical Processing | Industry: 500 hrs salt spray (ASTM G85) // Base: 1000 hrs (▲▲) // Advanced: 1500 hrs (▲) | Extended lifespan in harsh environments (e.g., offshore platforms) | Higher cost for Advanced versions due to premium coatings |
Load Capacity | High-Traffic Industrial Floors | Industry: EN124 Class D (4000 N) // Base: EN124 Class D (4000 N) // Advanced: EN124 Class F (12,500 N ▲▲) | Advanced handles heavy machinery traffic without deformation | Base may fail under extreme loads (e.g., forklifts in warehouses) |
Flow Efficiency | Fluid Systems with Minimal Pressure Loss | Industry: 80% (ISO 9396) // Base: 85% (▲) // Advanced: 90% (▲▲) | Reduces energy consumption in pipelines (e.g., water treatment plants) | Advanced requires precise installation to maintain optimal flow |
Compliance Certifications | EU-Regulated Projects | Industry: EN124 only // Base: EN124 + EPR France/Germany (▲) // Advanced: EN124 + EPR + ISO 14001 (▲▲) | Streamlined procurement for EU projects; Advanced meets environmental standards | Advanced may face longer lead times due to additional testing |
