Ameron GRE Fabrication guideline

AMERON CORROSION-RESISTANT FIBERGLASS PIPING SYSTEMS

Ameron fiberglass pipe can withstand highertemperatures and pressures than ordinarythermoplastic materials. That, together withits corrosion and chemical resistance, makesit particularly well-suited for general industrialservice and chemical processing applications.Fiberglass pipe also provides environmentalprotection benefits. In applications such assecondary containment and waste handling,it can eliminate the ground-water contaminationcaused by corroded metal piping. BondstrandLD large-diameter piping is available in diame-ters through 144 inches (3600 mm).

Together, Ameron and its subsidiary CentronInternational offer a full line of fiberglass oilfieldline pipe, tubing, casing and sand-control wellscreens. Piping is available in diameters from1 to 40 inches, with service pressures as highas 4000 psi and operating temperatures up to302°F (150°C), depending on specifications.Centron® GRE well screens, which cost abouthalf as much as metal screens, come in 11⁄2to 8-inch sizes and in single and pre-packedversions. Bondstrand SSL (steel strip Laminate)for demanding oil and gas service, includingsubsea, provides both high pressure perfor-mance and corrosion resistance.

Ameron fuel handling systems provide pipingsolutions for service stations, truck stops andterminals. Rigid Dualoy 3000/L single-wall orcontained piping and the unique Dualoy3000/LCX* coaxial design have proven them-selves superior in performance and longevity toboth metallic and flexible alternatives. Each isUnderwriters Laboratories Listed for use in allfuels, including methanol, ethanol and alcoholblends. Dualoy products can be continuouslymonitored with brine, vacuum or pressuresystems. Dualoy 3000/MCX piping isdesigned for use at marinas.

Installation Procedures Bondstrand 100 Stick Clip joining instructions

Using sandpaper, clean the inside of the pipe surfaces and the outside of the insert to bebonded. Remove the dust. Apply a liberal quantity of adhesive to the inside of both pipejoints to be assembled and to half of the internal sleeve. Be sure the cut ends of both thepipe and the insert are coated. Insert the coated half of the insert into the end of onepipe. Mark the location of the gap on the O.D. of the pipe. Apply adhesive to the outsideof the rest of the insert section. Push the next pipe onto the insert section. If necessary,should pipe ends not be cut perfectly square, rotate pipe in order to assure that pipeends butt together over saw cut in insert. Clip one external sleeve over the excessadhesive squeezed between the pipe ends. Clip a second external sleeve over the firstto close the remaining adhesive. The saw cuts of the sleeves are to be at least 90° fromeach other. Follow the PSX•34 installation instructions (and Product Data Sheet, FP735)for curing the adhesive. Clamp ends of sleeves with hose clamps to hold in place whileadhesive cures.

Continuous operating temperatures to 250°F (121°C).

Excellent corrosion resistance over a wide temperature range. See most recentrelease of Bondstrand Corrosion Guide (FP132) for specific applications.

Weighs 1⁄6th as much as Sch. 40 steel.

Does not require thrust blocks at ambient temperatures when properly installed inmost soils.

Smooth inner liner (Hazen-Williams C = 150) produces extremely low frictional lossfor greater discharge and reduced pumping costs.

Low thermal conductivity (1⁄100th of steel) minimizes heat losses.

Individual system components may not have the same ratings as the pipe. Referto the detailed product information for the specific components to determine thepressure rating for the system as a whole.

Pipe construction The structural wall of fiberglass pipe shall have continuous glass fibers in a matrix ofaromatic amine cured epoxy resin.

The integral, reinforced resin-rich liner shall consist of C-glass and a resin/hardenersystem identical to that of the structural wall, and shall have a 20 mil nominalthickness. Non-reinforced pure resin-type corrosion barriers (liners) shall not beallowed due to their potential for severe fracturing during transportation, installationand operation of the pipe.

Pipe in 1 through 16-inch sizes shall be rated for a minimum of 165 psig at 250°F. In1 through 6-inch sizes the pipe shall have full vacuum capability at 70°F, wheninstalled above ground with a safety factor of 3:1.

Pipe shall be manufactured according to ASTM D2996 specification for filament-wound Reinforced Thermosetting Resin Pipe (RTRP). When classified underASTM D2310, the pipe shall meet Type 1, Grade 1 and Class F (RTRP-11FE or W)cell limits in 1 through 16-inch nominal pipe sizes.

Filament-wound epoxy fiberglass pipe shall be translucent to allow for inspection ofdamage.

Pipe in 2 through 8-inch sizes shall be furnished in 30 or 40-ft. length to minimizethe number of field-bonded joints for rapid installation.

Standard fittingsconstruction

Fittings in 1 through 16-inch sizes shall be filament wound with a reinforced resin-rich liner of 50 mil minimum thickness and of the same glass and resin type as thepipe. Pipe, filament-wound fittings and adhesive shall, as an assembly, provide acontinuous liner throughout the system.

Compression-molded fittings in 2, 3, 4 and 6-inch nominal sizes may also beallowed upon agreement between purchaser and manufacturer.

Contact-molded, spray-up or hand-layup fittings shall not be allowed. Pipe andfittings shall be joined using a straight spigot by socket with a 0.5° taper angle and apipe stop inside the socket to allow precise makeup.

Workmanship The pipe and fittings shall be free from all defects, including delaminations,indentations, pinholes, foreign inclusions, bubbles and resin-starved areas which,due to their nature, degree or extent, detrimentally affect the strength andserviceability of the pipe or fittings. The pipe and fittings shall be as uniform ascommercially practicable in color, density and other physical properties.

Testing Samples of pipe and couplings shall be tested at random, based on standardquality control practices to determine conformance of the materials to AmericanSociety for Testing and Materials guidelines for testing fiberglass pipe products:ASTM D1599, D2105, D2925, D2992A or D2992B.

Test samples may be hydrostatically tested by the manufacturer to 1.5 times thepressure rating for signs of leakage.

Corrosion resistance - Bondstrand is inherently resistant to corrosion and scalebuild up. It exhibits excellent flow characteristics with a Hazen Williams rating of 150.

Ease of installation - With light weight fiberglass no heavy lifting equipment wasneeded. The pipe was easily lowered into the small trench, bonded in the ditch andslipped through the old piping system.

Cost savings - Using Bondstrand minimized the extensive digging needed toreplace the ductile iron, resulting in savings of time, money and disruption.

Approximately 1100 feet (350 m) of 4-inch diameter, Bondstrand Series 2000 pipeand filament-wound fittings were installed beneath the busy streets of downtownNashville, Tennessee. Bondstrand 2000 replaces 6-inch ductile iron pipe incondensate return lines. The failing ductile iron pipe had been in service for only threeyears. The piping system will supply heat produced by a trash burning generatingplant to 39 major buildings in downtown Nashville. The existing ductile iron pipe hasdeteriorated due to corrosion and scale build up. Digging costs to replace themetallic piping with the same material would be prohibitive and extremely disruptivebecause of its location in the congested downtown area. The problem was solved bysliplining the ductile iron with Bondstrand 2000, taking advantage of Bondstrand’slight weight and ease of installation.

With Bondstrand, the contractor was able to dig a small trench, assemble lengthsof pipe in the ditch and slip the 4-inch fiberglass pipe inside the 6-inch ductile iron.Pipe was installed between 6:00 pm and 6:00 am to minimize the disruption to citytraffic.

Technical support At job start-up, Ameron Technical Service provided installation training and certifi-cation of crew members. This ensured that the proper techniques were utilizedduring installation to provide a successful application in the least amount of time.

Corrosion resistance - Pipe and fittings easily withstand the acidity of themedium. Bondstand replacement piping has already served nearly twice aslong as original metallic piping without showing any signs of corrosion.

Ease of installation - System was easily field fabricated by an installationcrew from Ameron. The crew was able to complete the installation for eachunit in only one day.

After approximately two years of service, the existing 100 mm and 150 mm Cu-Ni (90/10) piping had begun to fail in this service. The medium, seawaterat 50°C containing dissolved gases including chlorine, air and carbon dioxide,was sufficiently acidic (pH 5.8-6.2) to cause severe internal corrosion to themetallic piping, resulting in heavy leakage in general and collapse when thepiping was subjected to vacuum.

Bondstrand Series 2000 fiberglass reinforced pipe was chosen to replace theold Cu-Ni lines due to its corrosion resistance and ease of installation.

Technical support Ameron provided technical support to the client during all phases of the project.

Chemical resistance - Bondstrand withstands the rigors of aggressive chemicals.The corrosion resistance also provides excellent weatherability.

Ease of installation - Epoxy bonded joining system saves time and money. ANSIflanged fittings provide a familiar joining system and simple joining to traditionalequipment and materials. Lightweight fiberglass, approximately 1⁄5 the weight oftraditional materials, can be moved without heavy lifting equipment.

Cost savings - Bondstrand Series 2000 pipe and fittings provide the lifeexpectancy required at about 20% less cost than glass-lined cast iron andapproximately 30% less cost than stainless steel.

Bondstrand Series 2000 pipe and filament-wound fittings and flanges in 2- to 14-inch diameters are used for process lines in this wastewater treatment plant. Thepiping systems are used for sludge, digester gas, methane gas, chlorine gasvacuum and solution, alum, foul air and aeration air. Bondstrand's resistance toboth external and internal corrosion made it an excellent choice to handle theseservices in this marine environment.

Bondstrand was selected over other materials such as glass-lined cast iron or316L Schedule 40 stainless steel. In addition to providing an economical materialsolution for carrying corrosive media, its light weight and easy assembly reducedinstallation costs over these other piping materials.

Chemical resistance - Bondstrand withstands the rigors of aggressive chemicals.The corrosion resistance also provides excellent weatherability.

Ease of installation - Epoxy bonded joining system saved time and money. Theinstallation was completed in four days, eliminating the difficult and costly weldingrequired for stainless steel. Lightweight fiberglass can be moved without heavylifting equipment.

Cost savings - Bondstrand 2000 pipe and fittings provided the life expectancyrequired at 1⁄4 the material cost of stainless steel. Installed cost was 1⁄6 the cost ofstainless steel.

Bondstrand Series 2000 pipe and filament-wound fittings, prefabricated in 6- to12-inch diameters were used. Landfill gas contains methane and high concentra-tions of hydrogen sulfite (H2S), and water at 150° to 170°F. The H2S mixes withwater vapor, forming strong sulfuric acid in the piping system. Carbon steel cansurvive only 3 to 4 years in this service. Plastic piping (PVC, CPVC and HDPE)was eliminated as a choice for this application due to temperature and pressurelimitations around 140°F. Fiberglass pipe also provides better UV resistance thanPVC or CPVC.

While Schedule 10 or 20 304L stainless steel can provide the desired 30-year lifeexpectancy in this service, its material cost is about four times that of fiberglassand the installed cost would be approximately six times that of fiberglass.

Ameron Bondstrand 2000 also saved installation time. The difficult weldingprocess of stainless steel takes 3-4 times longer than epoxy bonding of fiberglass.As a result the installation took less than four days. The system was then fieldtested at 225 psig for 10 cycles.

Technical support Ameron provided installation training and technical support to the client.

Recommended maximum support spacing for Bondstrand 2000MP pipe at variousoperating temperatures. Span recommendations are valid for normal horizontal pipingsupport arrangements, a compromise between continuous spans and simple spans, butinclude no provision for weights such as fittings, flanges, etc. or thrust from branches,turns, etc. Span recommendations are calculated for a maximum long-term deflection of1⁄2 inch to ensure good appearance and adequate drainage. Values are based on 1⁄2 inchdeflection at midspan for fluid specific gravity = 1.0. For continuous spans, increasevalues by 20%. For end or single spans, decrease values by 20%.

Materials

Fittings

Pipe end preparation optionsThe piping manufacturer will provide20’ or 40’ RL joints if the installerrequests them in sizes 2” through 6”to reduce field labor assembly time in those sections of the system where longer pipejoints may be employed. Additionally, the pipe manufacturer will provide pipe joints withthe spigot ends already prepared to reduce field labor time.

Pressure ratingAromatic amine cured epoxy resin piping shall be suitable for use at 125 psi up to 250°F.

It is important to maintain compatibility of fittings, piping and adhesives to ensure thatthe system performs as specified. Therefore, the pipe, fittings and adhesive shall besupplied by the same manufacturer.

Filament-wound fittingsFittings in 2” through 10” sizes shall be filament-wound with a reinforced resin-rich linerof equal or greater thickness than the pipe liner and shall be manufactured with thesame resin type as the pipe.

Installation details andrecommendations

General considerations Fiberglass pipe is lightweight, corrosion resistant, economical and has excellenthydraulic characteristics. A very significant advantage of Bondstrand Series 3200 pipesystems is the elimination of the need for concrete thrust block or mechanical tie rodassemblies with the single exception of CIPE crossovers which are covered belowunder HYDRANT CONNECTIONS.

Fiberglass pipe is somewhat sensitive to impact and should not be subjected to pointloadings. It is important that pipe be inspected for impact damage to both the pipe andthe end prior to installation.

Specific instruction regarding the assembly of adhesive-bonded joints in 2 through8 inch sizes and Pronto-Lock® II joints in 8-inch sizes and above are contained in theappropriate publications.

Burial recommendations Design

The structural design of a buried conduit requires calculations of the probablemaximum load, determination of the inherent strength of the pipe and selection offield bedding and backfill conditions that insure that the supporting strength of theinstalled pipe will be adequate.

Bondstrand pipe is considered as a flexible conduit having the ability to deflect asit is loaded, thereby transmitting the load to the side fill in the same manner ascorrugated metal pipe. The load-carrying capacity of Bondstrand Series 3200 pipeis exceptional because of its ability to redistribute crush, shear and beam loadsthrough deflection.

The following table lists recommended cover heights for Bondstrand Series 3200pipe installed in a trench under conditions as noted.

Bondstrand Series 3200 is used for buried fire protection lines and generalindustrial service. It is available with a Listing Mark from Underwriters Laboratories,Inc. and Underwriters’ Laboratories of Canada and has been approved by FactoryMutual. When UL-Listed or FM-approved product is desired, designate it as suchby identifying it as “Bondstrand Series 3200/L” or “Bondstrand Series 3200/FM.”For Listed service, the installation must be done in accordance with National FireProtection Association No. 24, “Private Fire Service Mains.” NFPA No. 24 coversthe general details of yard piping for fire protection systems. The installation detailsand recommendations contained in this publication are intended to supplementthose of NFPA No. 24 with which both the design and installation must comply.

Burial recommendations(cont.)

As a practical measure, it is recommended that a minimum earth cover of 3 feetwith H-20 live loads be observed. For special installations outside these limits,consult Ameron Fiberglass Systems. Sleeving details are covered underMISCELLANEOUS DETAILS.

Excavation

1) The excavation shall be made to allow the pipe to be laid to the grades andalignments shown on the plans.

2) The narrowest practical trench width that will allow proper densification of thepipe zone backfill shall be maintained with vertical sidewalls from the foundation toat least the top of the pipe, except that a minimum trench width equal to the insidediameter of the pipe plus twelve (12) inches shall be maintained. The maximumtrench width from the foundation to the top of the pipe shall be the inside diameterof the pipe plus twenty-four (24) inches.

3) Beneath vehicular traffic, the height of earth cover over the top of the installedpipe shall not be less than three (3) feet unless suitable methods are used toprotect the pipe.

4) Foundations shall be firm, but not hard, and shall consist of sound earth1 orgranular soil2, free from stones or lumps exceeding one (1) inch in greatestdimension that might bear against the pipe. Suitable foundations may be preparedby overexcavating the trench for not less than one (1) inch and backfilling tosubgrade with loose bank run material, graded uniformly in one plane for the fulllength of the pipe. Slight overexcavation should be provided at the location of eachbell so that the pipe barrel rests on the bottom of the trench. Foundations shallprovide uniform support under the haunches of the pipe along the full length ofeach pipe section.

5) When the excavation is in soft or wet, unstable soils that will not providesufficient support for the pipe, the trench shall be overexcavated at least six(6) inches and backfilled to one (1) inch below subgrade with solid granular soilcompacted to at least 85-95% Proctor (40-70% relative density). The subgradeshall then be completed as described in §4. The method described in NFPA No. 24§8-4.3 under “Exception” is not acceptable for fiberglass pipe.

6) When solid rock, hardpan or other hard foundation is encountered duringexcavation, the trench shall be overexcavated at least six (6) inches and backfilledto one (1) inch below subgrade with solid granular soil compacted to at least85-95% Proctor (40-70% relative density). The subgrade shall then be completedas described in §4.

1) Most native soils, with the exception of highly organic, spongy soils and fat, highly plastic expansive clays.2) Sand with a maximum particle size of 1⁄4 inch or gravel with a minimum grain size of 1⁄4 inch, or pea gravel or

Pipe laying

Assemble the pipe in accordance with the appropriate instructions for the joiningsystem being used.

On grades exceeding 10%, the pipe should be laid uphill.

In order to insure against line movement in the ditch, place a small quantity of selectbackfill (no rocks or heavy clods) carefully around the pipe after each joint is laid andtamp it thoroughly around the bottom of the pipe. Wear leather gloves when making upthe threads by hand. Although the parts are carefully deflashed in the plant, somesharp, undressed edges may remain.

When work is not in progress, cap the pipe ends to prevent entry of debris, rodents andthe like.

Thrust blocks

As noted under GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS, Bondstrand Series 3200 pipe systems do notrequire thrust blocking or tie rod harnesses as all of the pipe and fitting connections arecapable of taking the full axial load imposed by internal pressure with a minimum safetyfactor 4:1. Prudence, however, dictates that, where a change in direction occurs closeto a large positive displacement pump, the fitting be thrust blocked to prevent rackingof the line when the pump cycles. In every case, the design, location and placement ofthrust blocks must comply with NFPA No. 24 and any local authority having juris-diction. Typical thrust block details are shown in Figure 1.

Backfill

1) Backfill materials shall be so placed that the pipe will not be displaced or damaged.Materials placed as pipe zone backfill shall be free of stones or lumps exceeding one(1) inch in greatest dimension, and shall be so placed as to prevent the formation ofvoids.

2) Pipe zone backfill preparation shall be specified along the entire reach of thepipeline as shown on the plans and the drawings. Pipe zone backfill shall consist ofsound earth or granular soil free of vegetation that might leave voids upon decompo-sition. Pipe zone backfill shall be carefully packed and compacted to the applicabledimensions and relative compactions specified.

The requirements for pipe zone backfill preparation shall be determined on the basis ofthe local native soil conditions and earth and traffic load magnitudes at the pipe zonedepth so that vertical ring deflection will be limited to 5% of the nominal pipe diameter.

In general, the pipe zone backfill shall be placed immediately after laying the pipe,provided the pipe is true to line and grade.

Temporary thrust blocking consisting offloor jacks and wooden timber shouldbe used during hydrotesting to preventexcessive pipe movement and possible

shear or bending failures. Pointloadings on pipe or fittings should beavoided by means of wooden blockcontoured to bear on pipe or fittings.

Air testing

Low pressure (5-10 psi) air testing has been used successfully as a low cost preliminarytest to determine joint integrity. Pinched or missing O-rings will normally result inaudible leakage at these pressures.

It should be pointed out that an air test is not considered a substitute for the finalhydrostatic test; it is merely an expedient means to evaluate the seating of the O-ringsthat may eliminate the need for costly cleanup and/or Line drainage should repairs benecessary.

Hydrotesting

It is advantageous to test a pipe line in short sections of about 1,000 feet. This is partic-ularly true at the beginning of an installation as it gives the contractor and all concerneda check of the initial installation methods. Additionally, testing in short sections permitsone section to be backfilled to grade while the installation continues on to the nextsection. Installing a system in its entirety before testing may allow errors to be carriedthrough the whole job with the result that corrective repairs may be very expensive andtime consuming.

Venting air from the line is of major importance. As the pipeline is filled with water, theturbulent flow of the rushing water causes air to become entrained. As the watersettles, the air collects at high points and becomes entrapped in the pipeline. This airmust be allowed to escape by using an air vent at the highest part of the line. Lost airmust be replaced by more water so that the line is completely filled with water before itis pressurized.

The line should be filled with water 24 hours before testing and should be held at anominal pressure (30 to 50 psi) during this period. At this time, the Pronto-Lock IIconnections should be inspected for leakage as any pinched or missing O-rings willleak at this pressure. Note that a pinched O-ring will often seal at 250 psi, but leak at30 psi. Before the line is brought up to total test pressure, all air vents should be openedand any remaining air purged from the system.

Pressure testing

3) The backfill shall be blended sufficiently to secure the best practicable degree ofcompaction and stability.

Compaction may be performed by mechanical or hand tamping methods or byhydraulic methods, except in the following cases:

a) Where soils are clayey or silty and would impede free drainage, hydraulicmethods shall not be used.

b) Free-draining granular soils may be compacted by hydraulic methods with orwithout the aid of surface or internal vibration as required to achieve specificcompactions.

Care shall be taken during compaction to prevent displacement of the pipe due tofloating or shifting, and to prevent hydrostatic or impact damage to the pipe andfoundation. Avoid using heavy mechanical tamping or rolIing equipment directly overthe top of the pipe as this might cause excessive reduction of the vertical diameter ofthe installed pipe until a minimum of twenty-four (24) inches of earth cover has beenplaced.

4) Backfill above the pipe zone backfill1 shall not be placed until conformance withspecified relative compactions of pipe zone backfill materials has been confirmed.

1) Shall comprise that portion of the backfill surrounding the installed pipe extending after compact ion fromthe foundation to a level six (6) inches above the top of the pipe.

Attention is drawn to §8-9.2 of NFPA No. 24. Pipe between joints must be covered witha minimum of 24 inches of earth cover leaving the pipe joints and fittings exposed until

after hydrotesting.

Air testing at any pressure can be dangerous and should be conducted carefully withexperienced personnel only. High pressure air (compressed gas) testing is extremelydangerous and should never be used. Flammable or explosive gases should never be

used for pressure testing.

Water pits and manholes

Where “water pits” are used, pipe penetrations will be necessary though the concretewall of the water pit. Figure 2 shows a typical wall penetration. Where differentialsettling may occur, a Pronto-Lock II joint should be located within 2 to 3 feet of thepenetration. Severe applications should leave a second Pronto-Lock II joint as close tothe first as possible. The 2° deflection capability of the joints will enable them tofunction as limited flexible connectors. As a guide to sizing the penetration opening,Pronto-Lock II coupling dimensions are given on the next page.

Pressure testing(cont.)

Miscellaneous details

Bondstrand Series 3200 piping systems should be tested in accordance with NFPANo. 24.

1) The following paragraphs defining permitted leakage are reproduced from NFPANo. 24, Section 8-9.3.

a) (§8-9.3.1*) All new yard piping shall be tested hydrostatically at not less than 200pounds per square inch (13.8 bars) pressure for two hours, or at 50 pounds persquare inch (3.4 bars) in excess of the maximum static pressure when the maximumstatic pressure is in excess of 150 pounds per square inch (10.3 bars). (See A-8-9.8.1)

b) (§8-9.3.2*) The amount of leakage in piping shall be measured at the specified testpressure by pumping from a calibrated contained, For new pipe, the amount ofleakage at the joints shall not exceed two quarts per hour (1.89l/h) per 100 gaskets orjoints irrespective of pipe diameter.

c) (§8-9.3.3) The amount of allowable leakage specified in 8-9.3.2 may be increased byone fluid ounce per inch valve diameter per hour (30ml/25mm/h) for each metalseated valve isolating the test section. If dry barrel hydrants are tested with the mainvalve open causing the hydrants to be under pressure, an additional five ounces perminute (150ml/min) leakage is permitted for each hydrant.

2) New pipe laid with rubber gasketed joints should, if the workmanship is satisfactory,have no leakage at the joints. Unsatisfactory amounts of leakage usually result fromtwisted, pinched or cut gaskets. However, some leakage might result from smallamounts of grit or small gasket imperfections. The amount of leakage at the jointsshould not exceed two quarts per hour per 100 joints, irrespective of pipe diameter.The leakage should be distributed over all joints. If such leakage occurs at a few joints,the installation should be considered unsatisfactory and necessary repairs made.

3) Tests shall be made by the contractor in the presence of the inspector of theauthority having jurisdiction or of the representative of the owner. If the completedsystems fail, the following check points may be helpful in locating leaks:

a) A hydrant valve held open by a piece of rag, wood or some other foreign matter. Whenthe valve is held slightly open, line pressure will be relieved through a hydrant drain.

b) Dirt or foreign material in the O-ring groove.c) Pipe not sufficiently covered in the trench.d) Fittings and valves in the test section not sufficiently blocked.e) Air in line (no relief valve).f) Leakage through valve at the end of test section.g) Valve bonnet leaking.h) Packing on valves and wet-barrel hydrants leaking.i) Test pump leaking, check valves as well as gate valve.j) Curves not sufficiently covered in the trench.k) Testing overly long sections of pipeline.l) Insufficient saturation time (less than 24 hours).m) Ruptured pipe that has cracked or blown out.n) Broken fittings.o) Faulty accessory equipment such as valves, fittings, hydrants, saddles, relief valves.p) Faulty test gauge.q) Test pump suction line drawing air.

Fig. 2. Typical wall penetration. The wallthickness of the fiberglass pipe may be

increased by bonding split pipe sections tothe pipe. The split sections should extend

2 to 3 inches beyond the penetration.

Valves

Valves in water pits or manholes should not bear on the pipe. Figure 3 shows a typicalsupport at a flange.

Where steel flanges are used, they must be flat-faced or a spacer ring must be used.Flange bolts must always use flat washers under the bolt head and nut. Flat gasketsshall be elastomeric with a Shore A Durometer hardness of 70±5. Flange bolts shouldbe tightened uniformly to the bolt torque shown below.

Sleeved road crossings

Fiberglass pipe should be sleeved at all railroad crossings. As noted under BURIAL

RECOMMENDATIONS. Bondstrand Series 3200 pipe is designed for H-20 live loads with3-ft cover. However, where frequent heavy truck traffic can be expected, it may beprudent to sleeve the pipe. Yard piping under crossroads does not require sleeving.Pipe should be protected against excessive beam deflection by means of centralizersand from bearing against the end of the casing with Link-Seal* or other elastomericbearing materials. Where differential settling may occur, the same steps as describedunder WATER PITS may be followed. Figure 4 below shows typical sleeving details.* Registered trademark of The Thunderline Corporation.

Hydrant connectionsHydrant connections may be made by means of flanges (where permitted) or byBondstrand Series 3200 cast iron pipe crossovers. CIPE crossovers will connect togasketed bell or mechanical joint cast iron pipe and must always be restrained.CIPE crossovers are available for adhesive-bonded pipe in 6-inch sizes and below.

Important notice

Bending

Bondstrand Series 3200 pipe is somewhat flexible. Gradual changes in directionmay be made as long as the minimum bending radius is not exceeded. In8 through 16-inch sizes, the 2° deflection capability of the Pronto-Lock II jointdecreases the distance required for a given change in direction. The guidelinesshown below should be followed for making gradual changes in direction.

Corrosion resistance - Bondstrand pipe and fittings were chosen for excellentresistance to salt water corrosion both inside and outside of the pipe.

Ease of installation - The light weight of Bondstrand piping saved on supportsneeded and made installation possible in tight spaces in the New York Citybuilding. No-weld installation was a significant advantage in the tight, enclosedspace of the basement.

Increased flow rates result in cost savings - Bondstrand piping provided higherflow rates than the rubber lined steel material it replaced. The higher flow rates, inconjunction with the high efficiencies of the chillers, reduced the costs of runningthe machines.

Bondstrand Series 5000 pipe and filament-wound fittings in 10-, 12-, and 14-inchdiameters replaced rubber lined carbon steel pipe in the salt water cooling watersystem. The original system, in place 10 years, showed evidence of bad exteriorcorrosion. The installation of more efficient chillers required higher flow rates. Theengineers took the opportunity to replace the existing rubber-lined piping withAmeron fiberglass pipe.

Ameron fiberglass pipe also afforded no-weld installation. In the tight spaces ofthe enclosed basement, this provided a significant advantage.

The developer and engineer are very satisfied with the Bondstrand pipe.

Technical support Ameron provided installation training and technical support to the client.

Chemical resistance - Bondstrand withstands the chemical agents used toprevent scale build-up in the piping.

Ease of installation - Epoxy bonded joining system saves time and money.Prefabricated spools expedited installation. Lightweight fiberglass, approximately 1⁄5the weight of traditional materials, can be moved without heavy lifting equipment.

Cost savings - Bondstrand Series 5000 pipe and fittings eliminated the costlywelding process necessary for 304L stainless steel. Prefabricated fiberglass spoolsreduced installation time.

Bondstrand Series 5000 pipe and filament-wound fittings in 6- to 12-inch diametersand Bondstrand LD in 18- to 24-inch diameters are used for the HVAC coolingtower piping in these aircraft assembly hangers. To prevent scale build up insidesuch HVAC equipment as boilers, chillers and heat exchangers, various scaleremoving chemical agents are added to the HVAC water circulation. The chemicalswhich attack metallic oxides and other scaling minerals in the process also attacktraditional metallic piping, such as carbon steel, causing rapid deterioration.

Higher priced exotic materials, such as 304L stainless steel, would prove prohibitively expensive–up to 4 times the cost–in a project such as this where pipesizes up to 24" in diameter are used. Delivery time was also a factor. The 304Lstainless steel delivery time would run approximately four to five months versus thenormal four to five week delivery of Bondstrand.

Static electricity generationand accumulation

Static electricity accumulation is most likely to be a problem in pipes conveying nonpolarfluids at high ve l o c i t i e s. Measura ble amounts of electricity can be generated when thef l ow velocity exceeds 9 ft/sec in fiberglass pipe and 20 ft/sec in metallic systems.F i l t ration units and va l ves typically ex p e rience the highest rate of static electri c i t ya c c u mulation when high flow rates occur. Charge densities are affected by the conduc-tivity of the fluid, the pipe and the filter media. Depending on the media, flow throughfilters generally tends to give rise to charge densities 5 to 1000 times greater than flowthrough unrestricted pipes.

Bondstrand PSXTM•L3 and PSXTM•JFPolysiloxane-phenolic Fire-resistant Fiberglass Pipe and FittingsFor offshore platforms, marine and onshore service

Uses and applications • Offshore fire water lines

• Piping in offshore living quarters

• Offshore general services

• Onshore fire water lines• Refinery and petrochemical general

applications

FP721C (4/01)

Description Bondstrand PSX•JF and PSX•L3 fiberglass reinforced polysiloxane-phenolic pipingsystems may be used for offshore platforms and onshore services where fire-resistantpiping with low smoke emissions and low toxicity are required. Bondstrand PSX•JF andPSX•L3 products are designed for use in dry and wet deluge systems where low weight,corrosion resistance and fire-resistance are desired. The polysiloxane-phenolic (PSX™)resin is a revolutionary technological breakthrough developed through extensive researchand testing by Ameron. The product is designed to withstand hydrocarbon fire includingjet fire at over 300 KW/m2 heat flux from 0.3 kg/sec., high velocity impinging propaneflame. Low smoke and toxicity emission, and low flame spread make it suitable for use inenclosed space and critical service areas.

Approvals PSX•L3 and PSX•JF have Type Approval from ABS (Certificate No. 98-HS24317-X forSteel Vessel Rules (1997)) Section 4/6.14, MODU Rules (1997) Section 4/2.17, IMOResolution A.753(18)-Level 3 Fire Endurance Test.

PSX•L3 and PSX•L3C (conductive) have U.S. Coast Guard Type Approval per IMOResolution A.753 (18) and PFM 1-98 (Certificates 164.141/5/0 and 164.141/6/0, respec-tively.)

Performance PSX•JF pipe has proved capable of maintaining rated service pressure with no leak afterexposure to impinging jet fire for a period of 5 minutes with the pipe empty, followed byinjection of water at 150 psi (10 bar) and a flow rate of less than 73 liters/minute for anadditional 15 minutes. After the heat was removed, the piping was pressurized for anadditional 60 minutes at 150 psi (10 bar), then 60 minutes at 225 psi (15 bar), followed by 5minutes at 350 psi (24 bar). No passive fire protection is needed on the joints.

PSX•L3 pipe is capable of maintaining rated service pressure after 30 minutes stagnantwet exposure to 1100°C fire and 113.5 kW/m2 heat flux. PSX•L3 pipe and fittings meetIMO Level 3 fire test requirements even with the smallest diameter (1") pipe and Quick-Lock® joint with no passive fire protection needed on the joint.

Pipe and fittings are designed to operate at up to 225 psi system pressure.

These factors provide an advantage for Bondstrand over steel pipe.


Bondstrand also provides excellent protection against external corrosion in thismarine environment. It will not require frequent replacement due to corrosion.

Ease of installation - Light weight fiberglass is easy to handle and install. Ameron-trained crews completed the installation.

Fire resistance - Bondstrand PSX•L3 provides excellent fire resistance coupled withlow smoke density and toxic emissions.

PDVSA looked to Bondstrand PSX•L3 piping to provide a high measure of safety forthe fire protection system in its commissary in Venezuela. This marks the firstonshore use of Bondstrand PSX piping. Extensive testing of Ameron's patentedpolysiloxane resin system has demonstrated not only its superior fire resistance, butalso, very low smoke density and low toxic emissions.

Approximately 1100 meters (3600 feet) of 2- and 4-inch diameter BondstrandPSX•L3 and Bondstrand 3000A pipe and fittings were installed in the fire protectionsystem of this commissary. Bondstrand 3000A transports water from the main waterpipeline to the fire water system. The PSX•L3 piping is installed above the ceiling aspart of the sprinkler system.

Technical support Ameron Technical Service provided installation training. This ensured that the propertechniques were utilized during installation.

the cost.

Bondstrand®•CX:one-piece design,

featuring integral containment layer,reduces installation time and labor costs.

Ameron’s Bondstrand•CX features a proprietary double-wall,coaxial design that provides integral containment of a wide variety of chemicals. Between the primary pipe and the protective fiber-

glass outer wall is a porous layer of inert granular material that creates atight interstitial space. Should a leak occur in the primary system, only aminimal volume of liquid would set off detection sensors.

This one-piece design needs no centralizers, and its slim profile oftenallows replacement of existing single-wall systems in the same pipe racksor trenches without extensive modification or expansion.

Bondstrand •CX is very lightweight: a 6" double-wall system weighs 50%less than a conventional 10" over 6" system and 30% less than a minimal8" over 6" double-wall system. The pipe is easy to install using standardAmeron procedures: once the primary has been tested, you merely applyadhesive to the secondary closures, snap them in place and allow themto cure.

These features add up to real cost savings. Now there’s no need tocompromise with cheaper materials that may not do the job. You can

have all the strength and reliability of fiberglass and save money.

Bondstrand•CX saves time, saves spaceand saves your budget.

Bondstrand•CX is a one-piece double wall rigid fiberglass double containment system.The pipe and fittings are filament-wound fiberglass reinforced thermosetting resin. Thedouble wall design provides exceptional impact resistance, making Bondstrand•CXsuitable for corrosion and abuse prone applications where single wall fiberglass pipewould not be suitable.

Bondstrand® Case History FIBERGLASS - COMPOSITE PIPE GROUP


Ease of installation - Using a mechanical joining system eliminated the need forwelding or complicated joining systems requiring highly-trained crews.

Cost savings - Bondstrand reduced the installationcost by about 60%

Over 50,000 feet (15,250 m) of 4- through 36-inch diameter, Bondstrand Series 3400pipe with Key-Lock fittings and Series 3200L with Pronto-Lock joining system wereinstalled in the fire protection system of this refinery in Colombia.

The refinery is located in a subtropical region and close to the Caribbean Ocean.The highly corrosive marine environment, combined with a high water table in thearea caused the original steel line to corrode and fail.

Ameron's FM-approved and UL Listed Bondstrand fiberglass piping systems areinherently resistant to external corrosion. Bondstrand, used successfully in a varietyof marine applications, is able to withstand the harsh marine climate.

The mechanical joining systems lowered installation costs by about 60%. Nocathodic protection was required.

Reducing flanges

13

Filament-wound and molded flanges correspond to ANSI B16.5 Cl. 150 classifi-cation. Sealing ring thicknesses for 1- and 11/2-inch flanges are 0.035; for 2- through 8-inch flanges, 0.047; and for 10- through 16-inch flanges, 0.060, respectively.

Pronto-Lock®

heavy-duty mechanical coupling system

Introduction Pronto-Lock* is a heavy-duty threaded coupling system with a positive seal O-ring thatprovides a fast, simple, rugged and reliable means to install fiberglass pipe. Theversatility of Pronto-Lock permits inexperienced crews to install pipe in all weatherconditions and types of services.

FP128D (1/95

User benefits Lower, more predictable installation costs because the pipe is installed quickly under allweather conditions.

Specially trained crews are unnecessary since no special techniques or tools arerequired.

Immediate reusability permits handling, testing and backfilling without waiting foradhesives to cure.

Reusability of the mechanical joint permits use on temporary lines.

Construction Pronto-Lock is made of fiberglass reinforced thermosetting resin with pressure,temperature and corrosion resistance equal to or greater than the pipe ratings. Thethreads and the O-ring grooves are molded; the female end is filament wound for extrastrength. Male and female ends are bonded onto the the pipe and the O-ring is placedin the groove at the plant. The pipe comes ready for assembly.

Features Large, fast-advance Acme type thread: Rugged molded fiberglass threads thatprevent galling and will not crossthread.

Standard size O-ring: Use the standard Buna-N O-ring or choose from the broadselection available on special order.

Molded O-ring groove: Precisely positioned O-ring insures positive sealing andprevents movement, assuring pressure integrity.

Tapered sealing surfaces: During assembly, tapered surfaces precompress the O-ringfor a positive seal—even in vacuum service.

Installation savings Specifying engineers recognize the total cost in getting today’s pipe in service forprofitable, uninterrupted service in the future. Material cost, corrosion protection andwelding mean labor, time and money.

Thousands of miles of proven experience installing Bondstrand pipe is testimony to theeconomic advantages and dependability of reinforced thermosetting resin pipe (RTRP).Now Pronto-Lock goes one step further than the adhesive joining system with areduction in labor of 25% and reduction in joint installation time of 50%.

In normal conditions, a 3-man crew can install 1800 feet of 2-inch Bondstrand pipe withPronto-Lock every hour. Pipe crossings, ditch water, rain, cold weather and marshlandsare no problem. Pipe with Pronto-Lock can be put into service immediately.* U.S. Patent No. 3,784,239

Relative installation costand time requirements

Ease of installation Bondstrand pipe with the Pronto-Lock joint installs twice as fast as pipe with adhesivejoints, even by unskilled crews. Simply lubricate and insert the threaded male end intothe female end and turn the pipe until the connection is firm. Tighten the joint with astrap wrench on the female end to insure full makeup. No adhesive. No welding. Thejoint makes up pronto!

Crossovers and tools Crossover pieces to make transitions to steel and crossovers with a choice of specialend connections (grooved ends, NPT threads or flanged ends) are available on specialorder.

Areas of application Buried lines. Pronto-Lock allows immediate placement in the ditch, testing andbackfilling—greatly reducing open ditch time.

Overhead lines. Pronto-Lock on lightweight Bondstrand fiberglass pipe allows safe,quick assembly on overhead pipe racks.

Surface lines. Bondstrand fiberglass pipe can be installed above ground.

Temporary lines. Pronto-Lock can be reused. The molded threads, when lubricated,prevent galling and facilitate reuse.

Pronto-Lock® IIheavy-duty mechanical coupling systemfor fiberglass pipe

Introduction Recognizing the need for a simple, reliable coupling system in the 8 to 16-inch nominalpipe sizes, Ameron Fiberglass Pipe Division designed Pronto-Lock II* so that only themale threaded portion of the coupling has to turn in order to lock the joint. This featureallows for limited axial movement and also permits the incorporation of a 2° angulardeflection capability that is unavailable in steel and conventional adhesive-bondedfiberglass piping systems. The angular deflection capability allows the pipeline toconform much more readily to changes in terrain and minimizes the number of elbowsrequired. The deflection capabilities of the Pronto-Lock II coupling do not affect theintegrity of the O-ring seal. Pronto-Lock II employs a tapered male end which, afterbeing lubricated, is inserted into the female end, compressing the O-ring, thusproviding a leakproof connection. The locking sleeve is then spun into place, positivelylocking the joint into position.

The female end of Pronto-Lock II is fiberglass-reinforced epoxy and is filament woundonto the pipe in the factory. The male end is machined and attached in the factory byadhesive bonding. The male end and the locking sleeve are made of centrifugally castchopped fiberglass reinforcement and epoxy resins. The resilient bearing ring isBuna-N. The O-ring material is selected to be compatible with the system fluid. Buna-Nis standard, but other materials such as EPR and Viton A are available. ConsultBONDSTRAND CORROSION GUIDE, FP132, or Ameron Fiberglass Pipe Division for selectionof the proper O-ring material.

User benefits Lower, more predictable installation costs because the pipe is installed quickly under allweather conditions.

Specially trained crews are unnecessary since no special techniques or tools arerequired.

Immediate usability permits handling, testing and backfilling without waiting foradhesives to cure.

Reusability of the mechanical coupling permits use on temporary lines.

Angular deflection The Pronto-Lock II coupling can accommodate up to 2° angular deflection off thecenterline when properly made up.

Fig.1. The Pronto-Lock II coupling prior toinsertion of the male end into the female end.

Fig.2. After insertion, an effective seal is made.The two ends are joined in a leak-tight assembly,

but are free to separate as long as the pipingremains axially unrestrained.

Fig.3. The Pronto-Lock II coupling completelymade up: axial restraint of the joint by the

threaded locking sleeve assures that the pipeends cannot pull apart.

Operation

22°

Expansion/contraction The Pronto-Lock II coupling can accommodate both tensile and compressive axialloads. When the joint is made, the O-ring is compressed against the male end andmaintains leak-tight integrity of the coupling under tensile, neutral and compressiveaxial load conditions. Although the no-load position cannot be determined exactly in anassembled coupling, the total capacity for axial movement is about 3⁄8 inch.

Fittings Ameron manufactures a complete line of fittings in the 8 to 16-inch nominal pipe sizerange. All are available with the Pronto-Lock II coupling system that provides a union-type connection at every joint. The concept can be applied to all fittings, providing atotally mechanical, all-fiberglass system that forgives the minor angular or dimensionalvariations that occur in all complex piping arrangements. The standard fitting comesequipped with Pronto-Lock II female ends. Pronto-Lock II male ends are also available.

Prefabrication Special layouts and fittings can be factory prefabricated from shop drawings byAmeron and then shipped to the job ready for assembly. Where piping must betailored to special alignments for a specific job, the pipe can be cut and tapered andthe Pronto-Lock male ends bonded onto the pipe under controlled factoryconditions. Thus, field assembly and installation can be carried out regardless ofweather conditions.

Fig.6. The joint with no axial loading.

Fig.7. The joint under tensile axial load:movement is limited such that the free space

between the bearing ring and the lockingsleeve is taken up and the bearing ring iscompressed. The joint is restrained from

pulling apart by the locking sleeve.

Fig.8. The joint under compressive axial load:the coupling slides together until the male end

wedges inside the female end.

Only a light torque is needed to make up the locking sleeve. Owing to the limited threadmake-up of the sleeve into the female end, excess torque will not advance the threadsto compress the bearing ring on a properly inserted joint.

Since there is a mechanical interference at both ends of the axial travel, axial travelcannot accumulate and cause the joint to separate. No tightening is necessary after thejoint has been put into operation. The coupling can be disassembled, if necessary.However, about 10 inches of axial clearance is required to separate a disassembledPronto-Lock II joint.

Reusability The mechanical joining of Pronto-Lock II also enables the user to recover and reusepipe and fittings. Piping systems can be modified and relocated without having to scrapusable fittings.

PSXTM•20 Adhesive KitEpoxy siloxane adhesive for bonding fiberglass

pipe and fittings with tapered joints.

Description PSX•20 adhesive is a patented two-part epoxy siloxane adhesive designed forpermanently joining fiberglass pipe and fittings with taper/taper joints. PSX•20 is anon-flowing thixotropic paste offered in easy-to-use kits. The PSX•20 epoxy adhesivekit contains an adhesive resin, hardener, mixing spatula, brush and assembly instruc-tions. The adhesive resin is a dark red paste with sand, The adhesive hardener is awhite paste. The mixed adhesive color is red. PSX•20 can be used to connect epoxy,vinyl ester or phenolic systems.

Preparation ofbonding surface

Using the sandpaper supplied in the adhesive kit, clean both surfaces thoroughly toremove all dirt, grease and foreign materials. Make sure the bonding surfaces are freeof moisture.Do not touch the bonding surfaces with bare hands, dirty or greasy gloves or ragsafter cleaning them.

Mixing the adhesive In cold weather it is necessary to warm the resin to 50°F (10°C) to permit good mixingand easier application.Open both resin and hardener containers. Using the stick supplied, put all of thehardener into the resin container. Never split a kit.

At 77°F (25°C) the pot life of PSX•20 adhesive is 20 to 30 minutes. The pot lifedecreases with rising temperatures:

In extremely cold or windy conditions, use insulation to prevent rapid dissipation ofheat from the cure reaction. Cap the ends of the piping to prevent the passage of coldair. In severe cold conditions, warm air may be blown through the interior of the pipe.A heat cure is recommended for installations with service temperatures above 180°F(82°C) or operating pressures over 300 psi. For ambient temperature conditions below50°F (10°C), an external heat cure must be used. A minimum heat cure time of at least30 minutes is recommended for 2- through 6-inch pipe. Even after the adhesive hasturned solid at ambient temperatures, heat curing will promote chemical cross-linkingof the adhesive, thus increasing its strength, temperature resistance and corrosionresistance. A single Chem Cure Pak may be applied or an Ameron-approved electricheat blanket may be used. The heat cure may be applied at any time after the bond ismade and before the pipe has been tested or put into service.

Instructions

Listings and approvals

For installations with service temperatures below 180°F (82°C) and pressures below150 psi (1.03 MPa), PSX•34 bonds can be put into service with ambient temperaturecures as indicated in the table (See page 2 of this section.). However, it is highly rec-ommended that an external heat source be used to force cure the adhesive. Theadhesive and bonding surfaces should be warmed to 70°F (21°C) prior to mixing andapplying the adhesive. Adhesive may be force cured using an Ameron-approved heat-ing blanket. The table also indicates the pot life (working time) of the adhesive at var-ious temperatures. The pot life is the time from the initial mixing of the resin and hard-ener until the adhesive in the container begins to thicken and is no longer usable.

For systems with anticipated service temperatures above 180°F (82°C) or operatingpressures over 150 psi (1.03 MPa), or when installing any system at ambient temper-atures below 40°F (5°C), the adhesive joint must be cured with an external heatsource. A heat cure using an Ameron-approved electric heating blanket is recom-mended. The heat cure may be applied at any time after the bond is made and beforethe line is tested or put into service. The heat may be applied immediately after mak-ing the bond while the adhesive is still liquid or after it has gelled to a solid.

Minimum cure times of 30 minutes for 1- through 6-inch pipe and 45 minutes for 8- through 16-inch lines are recommended. Even after the adhesive has solidified at ambi-ent temperatures, heat curing will enhance the chemical cross-linking of the adhesive,increasing the strength, temperature resistance and corrosion resistance of the adhesive.

When used in fire protection service all joints must be force-cured with an externalheat source regardless of ambient temperature.

For installations with service temperatures below 180°F (82°C) and pressures below150 psi (1.03 MPa), PSX•60 bonds can be put into service with ambient temperaturecures as indicated in the table (See page 2 of this section.). However, it is highly rec-ommended that an external heat source be used to force cure the adhesive. Theadhesive and bonding surfaces should be warmed to 70°F (21°C) prior to mixing andapplying the adhesive. Adhesive may be force cured using an Ameron-approved heat-ing blanket. The table also indicates the pot life (working time) of the adhesive at var-ious temperatures. The pot life is the time from the initial mixing of the resin and hard-ener until the adhesive in the container begins to thicken and is no longer usable.

For systems with anticipated service temperatures above 180°F (82°C) or operatingpressures over 150 psi (1.03 MPa), or when installing any system at ambient temper-atures below 40°F (5°C), the adhesive joint must be cured with an external heatsource. A heat cure using an Ameron-approved electric heating blanket is recom-mended. The heat cure may be applied at any time after the bond is made and beforethe line is tested or put into service. The heat may be applied immediately after mak-ing the bond while the adhesive is still liquid or after it has gelled to a solid.

Minimum cure times of 30 minutes for 1- through 6-inch pipe and 45 minutes for 8- through 16-inch lines are recommended. Even after the adhesive has solidified atambient temperatures, heat curing will enhance the chemical cross-linking of theadhesive, increasing the strength, temperature resistance and corrosion resistance ofthe adhesive.

When used in fire protection service all joints must be force-cured with an externalheat source regardless of ambient temperature.

Pot life and cure time

Prior to handling, read all Toxicity, Precaution and First Aid information below. Beforemixing the adhesive, insure that the bonding surfaces are correctly prepared and areclean and dry. Open the resin and hardener containers. Using the mixing spatula,scrape all of the hardener into the resin container. Mix the resin and the hardener withthe spatula for at least 60 seconds. Scrape the sides, bottom and lid of the resin con-tainer occasionally to get all of the hardener into the mix. Never attempt to split akit. The resin and the hardener have been packaged at the correct ratio for optimumadhesive performance.

Apply a uniform coat of the mixed adhesive to both bonding surfaces and draw theparts firmly together. Detailed joint assembly instructions may be found in QUICK-LOCK

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, FP170 and BELL X SPIGOT JOINTS, FP807.

Adhesive-bonded Bell and Spigot Jointsfor Bondstrand fiberglass piping systems

Bondstrand® Installation

Introduction Follow these instructions to make the Quick-Lock bell and spigot joint for Bondstrandpipe and fittings using Ameron epoxy or vinylester adhesives. The instructions showyou how to cut the pipe, prepare the pipe ends, mix and apply the adhesive, make thejoint and cure the adhesive.

To determine the appropriate Bondstrand adhesive for your installation, consultBondstrand Chemical Resistance Guide, FP132. FP132 is available from Ameron oryour Bondstrand supplier.

Complete usage instructions for the adhesives are contained in each adhesive kit. Storeadhesives at temperatures below 100°F (38°C). Use adhesives before the datestamped on the adhesive kit package.

FP170E (8/00)

The Quick-Lock joint has been usedsuccessfully in Bondstrand fiberglasspiping systems throughout the world

for over thirty-five years. Typical ofBondstrand installations is this vacuum

unit drain piping in a Saudi Arabiandesalination plant.

ISO-9001

CERTIFICATED FIRM


Cutting pipe Measure the desired length and scribe the pipe using a pipefitter’s wraparound orheating blanket. When holding the pipe in a vise, use a 1⁄4-inch (6 mm) thick rubber pad(or equal) to protect the pipe from damage. Use a hacksaw or power saw with abrasivewheel to cut the pipe. Check the squareness of cut. Pipe up to 4 inches (100 mm)should be square to within 1⁄16 inch (1.5 mm); larger pipe to within 1⁄8 inch (3 mm). Use adisc grinder or file to correct squareness.

Danger! Do not inhale dust produced by cutting and grinding. Provide adequateventilation or wear OSHA-approved dust mask.

Scribe the pipe with chalk or a whitemarker to assure squareness of cut(top). Bondstrand pipe may be cut

using a fine-tooth hacksaw or a powersaw with abrasive wheel (bottom). See

FP811 AMERON RECOMMENDED SAFETY

PRACTICES for proper personalprotective equipment.

End preparation Use the Bondstrand B-1 end preparation tool for 2 through 8-inch sizes. For 10-inchpipe and larger, several shavers are available from Ameron and are referenced in theequipment list at the end of these instructions. Instructions for adjusting and operatingthe end preparation tools are provided with the tools. The instructions may also beobtained from your local Bondstrand representative.

End preparation(continued)

End preparation tools can be used manually, but a portable power drive is advisable ifpreparing a number of joints. Check the OD of the prepared end with a Pi Tape to ensurethe following dimensions are obtained:

The B-1 tool (top) requires no adjustmentand is used to prepare pipe ends in sizes to8 inches. Pipe ends in 10 and 12 inch sizes

are prepared with the M74 tool. The M80 tool(not shown) is used for larger sizes.

The cutter wheels on the B-1 tool aredesigned to cut when the tool is

rotating in the clockwise direction.Attempts to cut with the tool in

counterclockwise rotation will bendthe cutter wheels and reduce theeffectiveness of the tool. Similarly,when withdrawing the tool after

completing a cut, stop the drill motorand simply pull the tool out of the

pipe. Do not reverse the drill rotationwhen withdrawing as this will also

tend to bend the cutter wheels.

All bonding surfaces must be clean and dry and must be sanded within two hours ofassembly. Sand the bonding surfaces with a 1⁄4-inch drill motor and flapper sander.See the equipment list at the end of these instructions for drill motor and flappersander specifications. Sanded surfaces should show a dull, fresh finish, not apolished look. Don’t forget to sand the end of the spigot.

End preparation(continued)

Wipe the sanded surfaces thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth, or use a duster brush toremove dust particles. If surfaces become wet, warm with Bondstrand heating blanketor hot air gun until dry, then resand. Protect the bonding surfaces from moisture duringbad weather by tenting over the working area. Do not touch the prepared surfaces withbare hands or soiled gloves that would leave an oily film.

Caution: Clean and dry sanded surfaces are required for proper bonding.

Check the outside diameter of the preparedpipe end with a Pi Tape (left). Permissiblediameter ranges are marked on the tape

and must conform to the values tabulatedon the previous page. Sand all bonding

surfaces within two hours of applyingadhesive: the inside of the fitting (top right),

the cut end of the pipe(center left), and the outside of the spigot

(bottom left). Remove dust from all sandedsurfaces with a clean rag (bottom right).

4

When using pneumatic tools, theair supply must be dry andoil-free as moisture or oil on

bonding surfaces will interferewith the adhesive.

Spigot insertion depthsand diameters

Measure back from the end of the spigot the distance shown in the following table andscribe a line using a white grease pencil or soapstone. When the spigot is bottomed tothe pipe stop in the bell, the scribed line will be 1 inch (25 mm) from the end of the bell.

Alignment of fittings To ensure proper alignment of fittings, matchmark the mating pieces before applyingadhesive. Taking care to avoid contaminating the bonding surfaces, dry fit the pieces,then mark each piece for subsequent realignment.

Before applying adhesive, put aninsertion depth reference mark on the

spigot by measuring back from the pipeend by the amount tabulated above.

After joining, the reference mark shouldbe 1 inch from the end of the bell.

Assure proper alignment offittings by matchmarking the

mating pieces while dry fitting.

Applying the adhesive Select the adhesive kit per the following table:

When the joint is ready to be bonded, add the curing agent to the resin. Stir thoroughlyfor at least one minute or until no streaks are visible. Apply the mixed adhesive to thebonding surfaces immediately.

Use the disposable spatula supplied in the kit to apply a thin layer (1⁄32 inch or 1 mm) ofadhesive to the surface of the bell including the pipe stop. Excess adhesive in the bellwill restrict flow inside the joint. Apply adhesive liberally to the entire spigot surface anda thin layer to the cut end of the pipe. Excess adhesive on the spigot surface will beforced out when the bell and the spigot are joined.

Important: Be aware of the working time available after the adhesive has been mixed. It may not be possible to achieve the listed number of bonds in the smallersizes because of the available working time (pot life) of the adhesive. Seethe adhesive kit package for the approximate working times.

If the mix has started to gel in the container, discard and start a new kit. Appearance of gelled or lumpy material indicates that the mix has started to cure.

Add all of the hardener to the resin (left).After mixing thoroughly, apply a thin layer

to the inside of the bell (right).

Proper adhesive application In a properly made joint, the adhesive applied to the bell is pushed to the inside of thejoint where it forms a bead that protects the cut edge of the pipe. Excess adhesiveapplied to the pipe spigot is pushed to the outside of the joint and can be easilyremoved.

Too much adhesive in the bell may restrict flow through the pipe.

Joint assembly Without rotating the spigot, insert it into the bell until it rests firmly against the pipe stop.For 6-inch (150 mm) pipe and larger, use a comealong to seat the joint and hold it inplace. Support the bands on wooden blocks on each side of the joint so the comealongcan remain snug while the heating blanket is wrapped around the joint and the joint iscured. Joints 6 inches or less in size may be made by tapping on a wooden blockplaced over pipe end to seat the spigot in bell.

Apply a generous layer of adhesive to theoutside of the spigot (left). In addition,

apply a thin layer of adhesive to the cutend of the pipe (right).

When the joint is assembled, some of theadhesive in the bell is pushed to the inside

by the end of the spigot. When correctlyapplied, a thin layer of adhesive in the bell

(center) forms a small bead that willprotect the cut end of the pipe.

Too much adhesive in the bell may restrictflow inside the pipe (bottom).

Before joining the pipe, align the faces ofthe bell and spigot parallel with one

another (left). When making large-diameter joints, use a comealong to join

the pipe (right) and to hold the jointtogether during the cure.

Joint assembly(continued)

Join fittings to pipe using one of the two methods described above. It may benecessary to back up an elbow, tee, lateral, etc., with a sandbag or similar shockabsorber while tapping pipe spigots into fittings.

Align flanges, tees and other fittings to the matchmarks as you make the joint to avoidrotating the part while assembling. Check rotational alignment of flange bolt holes andsquareness of flange faces. Flanges with bolt holes more than 1⁄16 inch (1.5 mm) out ofrotational alignment, or faces more than 1⁄16 inch out of square across the flange face, orany angular errors of more than 1⁄2° in the axial or rotational alignment of bell and spigotare likely to cause subsequent assembly problems. If the joint is misaligned, pull itapart, remove adhesive from the pipe stop area, reapply adhesive and rejoin beforeadhesive starts to set up.

Caution: Never use a metal hammer directly on Bondstrand pipe or fittings.

Joints in the small diameters can be madeup with a rubber mallet (or equal) and a

block of wood (left). Never strike pipe orfittings directly with a hammer or mallet.

Check the insertion depth after making thejoint (right). The reference mark should be 1

inch from the end of the bell.

When mounting a flange, make sure thatthe vertical (center left) and rotational

alignment (bottom right) meet therequirements stated in the text.

Remove excess adhesive for goodappearance (second from top

left). Sand the inside of the flangebefore applying adhesive (second

from bottom left). Clean excessadhesive where the flange lipcontacts the spigot to avoidcontamination of the flange

face (bottom left).

Caution: Do not move, vibrate, or

Position the heating blanket withthe thermostat facing out (left).

Wrap the loose end of the blanket overthe thermostat and secure with an

electrically nonconductive tie (right).

Mark the starting time for the cure on thepipe (center right). If the temperature

might drop below 40°F (4°C), insulatethe blanket with fiberglass insulation

backed with aluminum foil or theequivalent (bottom right).

Force curing adhesive joints When force curing the adhesive, place the thermostat end of the Bondstrand heatingblanket against the assembled joint with the thermostat side facing out. Wrap theremainder of the blanket around the joint so that any overlap covers the thermostat. Tiethe blanket in place with any nonconducting tie.

In general, Ameron recommends the use of insulation around the heating blanket. Thisis essential when the air temperature is below 40°F (4°C). Fiberglass insulation backedwith aluminum foil generally works well. Insulation should overlap the blanket sidesabout 4 inches (100 mm) each way and be tied down near the edges to trap the heat.

Turn on the heating blanket and mark the starting time on the pipe. Check the blanketafter a short period to assure it is heating.

A 30-minute cure is recommended for joining pipe and mounting flanges and a45-minute cure for joining fittings.

9

Force curing flanges Flange mounting requires a special blanket wrap. Lay the blanket flat with thethermostat down and, starting at the thermostat end, roll it up. Insert the rolled blanketinto the pipe end to the depth of the fresh joint, leaving the cord and part of the blanketexposed as shown. Fill the space inside the rolled blanket with fiberglass insulation toensure that the blanket remains snugly against the inside joint surface.

Installation Procedure). For Ameron Literature see your local Bondstrand® provider orcall Ameron International, Fiberglass Pipe Division.

Introduction These instructions are intended to be used for the Installation of Bondstrand® CX™

Piping. To determine the proper adhesive for the installation see Bondstrand®

Chemical Resistance guide, FP132. PSX™•34 adhesive will be suitable for mostservices. PSX•34 adhesive is Listed by the National Sanitation Foundation under NSFStandard 61 - Drinking Water System Components - Health Effects for use in PotableWater Service and Commercial Hot Water Applications. Use PSX•34 unless the guiderecommends RP105, or if electrical conductivity is required (RP-60). Complete usageinstructions for the adhesive is provided in each kit. Use the adhesive before the datestamped on the adhesive kit package.

End Preparation Use the Jacket Cutter to cut the jacket to the specified length (see table 1 on left).

Set the depth of the wheel to cut the outer wall only. DO NOT CUT THE PRIMARYWALL. Make sure the grinding wheel does not grind into the sand. Cut only to thewhite tape that separates the secondary pipe wall from the sand. Cutting into the sandwill reduce the life of the wheel.

When cutting the jacket, there should only be one longitudinal cut. Use this same cutpath to pull out the jacket cutter. This will save wear on the cutter wheel. Start the cut bypushing tool on to the pipe until the tool bottoms out. Rotate the pipe or tool to part thejacket. Pull tool out along the same longitudinal cut.

Once the jacket is cut, use a utility knife to cut through the remaining tape. Use a bluntend object to remove the wall of the jacket. Be careful not to damage primary pipe wall.

Use the standard spigot cutting tool to shave the spigot on the primary pipe, if necessary.

Note: For no-shave pipe, no spigot shaving tools are necessary for primary orsecondary pipe. If outside diameter (O.D.) is slightly large, use flapper sander toreduce O.D.

Note: B-1F tools are used for 2”-8”. M80 shavers are used for 10”-16”. See theQuick Lock® procedure FP170 for spigot lengths and diameters.

Note: To set length of spigot, using the unique taper tool, the insertion depth ofthe collet on the taper tool should be adjusted. Measure from end of secondarywall to tip of cutting blade. Use the modified (3” long) cutter to cut spigot onsecondary piping.









(1) Or length of no-shave pipe which needs to be completely sanded prior to bonding.


Bonding Primary PipingSee Literature FP170D for proper bonding techniques. Leave secondary spigots asclean as possible while bonding primary as this will save time when ready to bondsecondary closures.

Secondary PipingTest Primary piping before assembly of secondary closures (see below). Sand allbonding surfaces before bonding. Use the matched closures and bond acrossspigots on pipe wall and female component. Be careful not to cover the sand layerwith adhesive. Use a hose clamp to secure closures until bond has set. Do not allowthe closures to move while curing. Do not test until full cure has been obtained.

Each end of the secondary piping must be closed if containment is to be pressure tested.Reference FP822 TERMINATION FIELD WELD KITS for Bondstrand® CX Pipe for guidance.

Testing Primary PipingTest primary pipe before assembly of secondary closures. During testing, inspect alljoints and monitor the cut ends of the containment piping (jacket). If a leak occurs inthe primary piping, it will be visible at this point. Note: If the primary pipe is beingtested pneumatically, a soapy water solution can be used over the cut end of thejacket to show integrity. This provides 100% inspection of the primary system.

Secondary PipingOnce cure is complete, remove the clamps and test using the test ports in theclosures at either end of the pipe system. Regulate air pressure going into the testassembly. The secondary space is small which allows pressure to build very quickly.Not using a regulator may cause damage to the test gauge. Note: Two sets ofclosures with test ports should be used for testing each line or section of line (ifpipe is separated into zones). Use one of these closures near each end of theline or section. This will show communication from one end to the other andassure the line has been pressurized along its full length.

Test the secondary at required pressure. Net pressure on outside of primary not toexceed the external pressure rating of the pipe.

2”-6” Pipe The spigot end should be inserted without rotation until contact of the matching taperin the bell is felt. At this point, the spigot end should be rotated while applying force tothe joint. A slight reverse twist (1/4 turn) will “lock” the joint. The rotation of the spigotend will redistribute the adhesive evenly and work any air out of the joint.

Adhesive Mixing& Application

a. Insure that the taper and bonding surfaces are clean. If the surfaces are oily orgreasy, they should be cleaned by sanding or with cleaner (not supplied). It isimperative that the bonding surfaces be clean and dry before adhesiveapplication. A light sanding to “freshen” the surfaces should be done.

b. Mix adhesive according to directions taking careful notice of the working life.Please review adhesive kit instructions prior to mixing.

c. Apply a thin coating of adhesive to both spigot and bell bonding surfaces.Enough adhesive should be used to form a bead surrounding the pipe wheninsertion has been completed. Only enough adhesive to wet the surfaces isneeded. More is not better.

2

8”-16” Pipe a. Insert dry, then measure and mark the insertion depth of the spigot end onthe exterior pipe wall. (See Tables 1, 2 & 3 for insertion depths in pipe andfittings, respectively.)

b. Remove the exterior gloss up to the recorded insertion depth using a flappersander or sandpaper. A light sanding of the spigot (if factory made) shouldalso be done.

c. A second mark, 3 inches past the original measurement, should be made inorder to double check the insertion depth upon final joint makeup.

d. Buff up the interior of the bell and remove any rough edges using a flappersander or sandpaper.

8”-16” Pipe (cont’d)

e. Align the mating surfaces so that they may be brought together in a straight,even line.

f. Apply properly mixed adhesive to both the bell and spigot bonding surfaces.8”-16” Pipe (cont’d)

5

g. The spigot end should be inserted in an uncocked position without rotation.After initial insertion has been made, a come-a-long should be used to insurethat the proper insertion depth has been obtained. Use 5/8” (16mm) or largermanila rope with the come-a-long, taking careful notice to protect pipe withpadding where the come-a-long is fastened. Take up the come-a-long slowlyand work joint together taking care to maintain alignment. Tap a woodenblock held against the next bell end of the pipe, to be sure the spigot end hasbeen fully inserted. Never do this against a pipe spigot.

a. Do not use excessive force. Over insertion should be avoided because it cancrack the spigot end and result in a faulty joint.

b. After proper insertion has been accomplished, check for possible backout atthe joint, by momentarily reducing tightness of come-along.

c. If joint separates more than 1/8 inch, too much adhesive has been used. Jointshould be disassembled, cleaned and reassembled using proper amount ofadhesive.

d. If temperature is below 40˚F (5˚C), heat assist methods such as a heat blanketmust be used in order for the adhesive to cure.

e. Do not pressurize the line until adhesive has fully cured. Curing time atvarious temperatures are shown in the adhesive kit instructions.

General Considerations

Engineering Controls:

• A fabrication area should be set up in which to perform as much of thefabrication work as is practical or possible.

• Ventilation of the work area should be controlled. This can be done by meansof fans or dust collectors.

• Work area should be kept clean, including floor or other horizontal surfaces.Rinsing with water or sweeping with brushes or brooms (using floor sweep) isrecommended. Never use compressed air to clean area or to remove dust forpersonal cleaning. Brushes should be used to remove residue from shavedsurfaces.

Personal Protection:

• Barrier creme should be applied to the skin in areas which may be exposed toshavings prior to beginning work.

• Clean clothes should be worn each day. Do not wear clothing that has notbeen laundered to begin a work shift. More frequent changing may be requiredby conditions.

• Long sleeved shirts or worksuits should be used. Tape should be used atsleeve opening.

• Cotton or flannel shirts under workshirts may be worn to prevent rubbing ofskin at opening of worksuit.

• Gloves with elastic cuff should be worn at all times. Replace worn or contami-nated gloves as necessary. Gloves with flared, stiff cuffs act as a gatheringfunnel for shavings.

• Pant legs should be worn outside work boots. If necessary for safetypurposes, the pant legs can be taped to fit closely to the boot. Over-the-calfsocks can be used to prevent chafing of the boot on the skin.

• Wristbands and watches should be removed to prevent rubbing or accumu-lation of particles on skin underneath the band.

• Dust masks and face shields should be used as necessary and practical.Contact points with the skin should be kept free of dust to prevent dust frombeing imbedded into skin from movement of the mask during normal use.

Personal Hygiene:

• Wash exposed skin with soap solution (liquid soap preferred) and cool water.

• Use washcloth with “brushing” motion to remove dust or fibers. Do not scrubthe skin. This could result in the fibers being imbedded into the skin.

• Rinse thoroughly with clean, cold water.

• Apply lotion or creme to skin (non-detergent formulas such as baby lotion) tosoothe irritation or prevent further immediate irritation.

clean rags and dust brushes is required tokeep all bonding surfaces clean (right).

A pipefitter’s wraparound, a level and agrease pencil are suggested for

alignment and marking (left). Essentialsafety wear includes eye protection, dust

mask and clean cotton gloves (right).

Lubricants In order to minimize installation effort and permit disassembly when necessary, it isrecommended that a lubricant be used on all Pronto-Lock® joints. In general,lubricants such as motor oil, ethylene glycol, petroleum jelly, lard or vegetableshortening may be used. Liquid detergent is also very effective and is the preferredlubricant for potable water lines. Lubricants containing granular fillers or solid particlesshould not be used because these may prevent the O-ring from properly sealing.Those lubricants containing powdered or flaked metal or hardening type thread dopesshould not be used.

A major consideration regarding all types of lubricants is that they will catch and holdany dirt, dust or sand which might come in contact with the joint, this possibly mightcontaminate the O-ring or gall the threads and cause problems. For this reason, it isnecessary to emphasize cleanliness and care on the part of the installation crew.

Pronto-Lock®

Mechanical Jointsfor Series 3000A & 3200A in 2”-6” diameters

General The Ameron Pronto-Lock® mechanical joining system, U.S. Patent No. 3784239,utilizes an O-ring seal and is designed to provide a fast, simple, rugged and reliablemethod of installing pipe. The O-ring fits in a groove in the female end of the joint andis installed in the factory. The sealing surface is the smooth tapered section of themale end of the joint. Any irregularity, discontinuity or foreign material either on thissurface, in the groove or on the O-ring itself may prevent the joint from properlysealing upon make-up. The heavy duty molded ACME type threads in this joint starteasily and make-up quickly with minimum danger of cross threading or jamming.

ISO-9001

CERTIFICATED FIRM

Strap Wrenches Standard strap wrenches, or chain tongs may be used to make up the Pronto-Lock®

(2”-6”) joint. When using one of the accepted wrenches, the following rules must befollowed:

a. Always apply wrenches to the straight section of the Pronto-Lock® femaleend. Never apply any kind of wrench directly on the pipe wall.

b. Never use a tool or “Cheater” with a longer than 24” handle. The joints willturn and make up easily if they are clean, lubricated and properly aligned. Anydifficulties encountered are usually the result of misalignment. Whenresistance is felt, the joint should be either backed off and cleaned or thealignment should be checked.

Installation Procedure a. String the pipe along the right-of-way.

b. Inspect the pipe wall for any sign of cracking or impact damage.

c. Remove the protector from the female end of one length of pipe.

d. Inspect the female end to be sure it is free of dirt, sand or any foreign particleswhich could prevent complete make-up of the joint.

e. Check the O-ring to be sure it is properly seated in the O-ring groove.

f. Support the female end from falling into the dirt by placing the strap wrench(or other acceptable wrench) around the collar in the back-up position.Note: Do not use any wrenches on the pipe wall itself.

g. Inspect the second length of pipe for any sign of cracking or impact damage.

h. Remove the protective end cap from the male end of the adjacent length ofpipe.

i. Insure that the sealing surface is clean and free from any roughness or foreignmaterial which might prevent the O-ring from sealing.

j. Insure that the threads are clean and free of any foreign material which mightprevent comlete joint make-up.

k. Lubricate the male end and the O-ring with the appropriate lubricant asdiscussed in Section “Lubricants”.

2

Installation Procedure(cont’d)

l. Insert the male end of the second length into the female end of the first lengthas far as possible and begin turning clockwise so that the threads engage.

m. Apply a strap wrench or chain tong to the female end of the second length ofpipe and tighten. Use the strap wrench on the straight section of the Pronto-Lock® female ends only. Do not use wrenches on the pipe wall.

Note: It is not necessary to apply excessive pressure on the wrench to“insure a seal”. These are not sealing threads.

Variations inJoint Make-Up

Due to make-up tolerances, some joints wil make-up flush while some will stand off3/8” or more. This standoff does not affect performance because it is the O-ring whichprovides the seal, not the threads. Attempts to make all the joints flush or deeper mayresult in damage to the pipe. Experience with joint make-up will dictate the amount oftorque necessary to insure complete make-up. In no case is a lever arm greater than24” to be used in making up the joints. “Cheater” extensions of existing tools are alsonot to be used.

O-rings The standard O-rings recommended by Ameron for use with the Pronto-Lock® jointsare listed in the table below. Use of O-rings other than these without formal approval isnot recommended and performance cannot be guaranteed.

The O-ring fits in a groove in the box (female) end and isinstalled in the field. The male portion of the Pronto-Lock® II joint is a combination pinend (male) and sliding threaded sleeve, separated by a bearing ring. The threadedsleeve enables complete joint make-up without rotating the pipe. The pin end istapered at two distinct angles which gives the Pronto-Lock® II joint the capability of a 2degree angular deflection so that installed pipe has the ability to conform much morereadily to changes in terrain.

b. For 8”-12” pipe, it may be preferred to carefully hand lower lengths of pipeinto the ditch.

c. For 14” and 16” pipe, it is easier to lower the pipe into position with theassistance of a front-end loader or equivalent. The pipe should be lifted withthe use of a nylon strap fastened at the middle of a length of pipe. Whenhandling 60 ft. lengths, a two point supporting system with a spreader barshould be incorporated.

d. Inspect the pipe wall for damage.

Installation Procedure a. String the pipe along the right-of-way.

e. Remove the protector from the box (female) end of one length of pipe.

f. Inspect the box end, especially the O-ring groove to be sure it is free of dirt,sand or any foreign particles which would prevent proper sealing of the O-ringor complete make-up of the joint. In order to keep the box free of grit, it isadvisable to elevate the box from the ditch bed with a 4”x4”.

g. Install a lubricated O-ring into the clean O-ring groove using the correctlubricant as discussed in the section “Lubricants”. The O-ring is larger thanthe circumference of the O-ring groove and the final portion needs to bepinched into place. Smooth out any twist in the O-ring once installation hasbeen completed.

h. Lubricate the entire installed O-ring and its surrounding area.

i. Inspect the pipe wall of the section to be joined for damage.

j. Remove the protective end cap from the pin end of the adjacent length of pipe.

k. Insure that the sealing surface is clean and free from any roughness or foreignmaterial which might prevent the O-ring from sealing.

m. Lubricate the pin end of the second length of pipe.

n. Insure that the adjacent length of pipe is correctly aligned.

o. Stab the lubricated pin end firmly into the box using a battering ram type ofmotion. Straight insertion is required to avoid pinching the O-ring out of theO-ring groove.

p. Slide the threaded sleeve into position and turn to the right. When the joint isproperly aligned, the threads can be made up by hand.

q. Snug-up the threaded sleeve with the spanner wrench.Installation Procedure(cont’d)

r. For 14” and 16” pipe, stabbing is easier with the assistance of a front-endloader or equivalent. Position the machinery so that the pipe ends to be joinedoverlap by approximately 12”. With this positioning, the installer will not befighting the cable when inserting the pipe. Pull back on the suspended pipeand lower it into position so that both lengths of pipe are directly aligned. Stabthe lubricated pin end firmly into the box using a battering ram type motion andcomplete the joint make-up following steps “p.” and “q.”.

Precut Strips

Application

Cross section afterentrapped air is rolled out

Fig.1 Fig.2 Fig.3

All butt welds are to be made in accordance with NBS Specification PS 15-69.The actual procedure will be performed as follows:

1. Measure off length of pipe (or duct) required and using a marker andstraight edge, draw a line completely around surface to be cut (Fig.1).

2. Cut pipe (or duct) with a saber saw using a fine toothed blade or acircular saw with an abrasive blade. Cut ends will be coated with resinso as to cover any exposed fibers (Fig. 2).

3. Pipe ends to be joined will be sanded back four inches beyond therequired weld dimension. (Fig. 3)

Each weld kit is supplied with a premeasured quantity of glass strips for making the butt and strap joint for a particular pipe sizewith a desired pressure rating. Therefore, it is extremely important that all materials be properly applied to the joint to insure thatthe finished product will have the required wall thickness and pressure rating of the pieces that are joined.

Tools

• Power disc sander,with 12-24 or 24-36 gritgrinding discs

• Saber saw,with 24 tooth metal-cutting blade ortungsten carbide blade

• 10”scissors or retractable razor knife

• Serrated aluminum or teflon rollers,1”diameter x3”wide

• Wrap-a-round or straight-edged gasket material

Supplies

• Dust brushes or clean rags to remove dust fromsanded surfaces

• 3”wide stiff bristle brushes or paint roller, forwetting out glass strips

• Cellophane,mylar film or unwaxed paper, forpre-wetting glass strips

• Mixing sticks (wooden tongue depressors)

• Paper or plastic mixing cups

• Milliliter graduates for measuring resin andcatalyst

• Safety goggles or glasses

• Protective gloves,neoprene or polyethylene

• Dust masks

4. Pipe will be placed in the position in which they are to be welded. A catalyzed thixotrophicpolyester paste will be applied to the joint seam. This will eliminate resin flow through thecrack as the actual weld is applied. (Fig. 4) Make certain work area and surfaces are cleanand dry.

5. The precut fiberglass kit is then saturated with catalyzed resin along side of joint area (Fig. 5).

6. The saturated weld is then picked up like a bandage and wrapped around the joint(Fig. 6).

7. A serrated roller is then used to smooth the weld and remove any air bubbles thatmay have been trapped beneath the weld when applied (Fig.7).

8. The joint should be made in steps not to exceed 9 layers in thickness. The outersurface of each strip should be lightly sanded prior to the next being applied.

9. An inside weld, consisting of 2 layers of chopped strand mat plus C-veil may beused in larger diameter pipe.

10. A final gel coat is applied after the weld has taken its initial cure (Fig. 8).

Note: (Reference item 9) For all pipe 20” diameter and over,there are several important variations from the normalsequence of weld construction, these are:

1. The Base C-veil strip and strips No. 1 and No. 2 are to be

applied INSIDE THE PIPE.2. The Base strip is to be applied over the other two inside

strips instead of the against the pipe as usual.3. Once the inside portion of the weld is constructed, the

remaining strips (from Strip #3) are applied in the ordinary manner on the outside of the pipe.

In tanks and other confined areas, observe the followingprecautions to prevent hazards of fire or explosion or damage to health: (1) circulateadequate fresh air continuously during application and curing; (2) use fresh air masksand explosion-proof equipment; (3) prohibit all flames, sparks, welding and smoking.See application instructions included with shipment for equipment and methodsrecommended for safe application procedure.

Butt and Wrap Layers vs. Pipe sizeUse the following table to determine the types, widths and sequenceof reinforcement strips to be used in making a weld onBondstrand® pipe. To find the type and size of reinforcement stripfor each weld layer, simply perform the following steps.

(1) On the table below, find the diameter of the pipe to be welded. (Diameter are shown across the top of the table.

(2) Read straight down the column under your pipes diameter. Numbers in each box give, in order of application, the width and type of reinforcement for that particular weld strip.

Assembly Instructionsfor Bondstrand fiberglass flanges

Bondstrand® Installation®

Scope These instructions present Ameron’s recommendations for the proper use ofBondstrand fiberglass flanges in the following pipe series:

Series 2000 2000M 2000MP 2000MFP4000 5000 7000 7000M

The mounting of flanges on pipe and fittings is addressed by the assembly instructionsfor the particular Bondstrand adhesive used.

FP196A (2/95)

Gaskets Use full-face gaskets of an elastomer suitable for the service pressure and temperatureand fluids in the system. Gaskets should be 1⁄8 inch thick (3 mm) thick with a Shoredurometer hardness between 55 and 65. Refer to ASTM D1330 Specification for SheetRubber Gaskets, Grade I or II, to establish minimum physical property requirements foruse with water, except specify a Shore A durometer hardness of 60 ± 5. For dimensionsother than thickness, refer to Table 5 of ANSI B16.21-1978 for Class 150 full-facegaskets.

Assembly First, finger tighten all nuts. Bolt threads must be clean and lubricated to attain propertorque. Use lubricated washers under both nuts and bolt heads to protect flange back-facing.

Tighten all nuts following the sequences shown under TIGHTENING SEQUENCE. Do notexceed the torque increments given in RECOMMENDED BOLT TORQUES. After all bolts havebeen tightened to the recommended torque, recheck the torque on each bolt in thesame sequence, since previously tightened bolts may have relaxed.

Caution: Excess torque can prevent sealing and can damage flanges.

Sealing against valvesand other flanges

Always follow these instructions carefully when joining Bondstrand flanges to raised-face steel flanges, flanges on lined pipe and fittings, and wafer valves of all types.Molded flanges should not be connected to wafer valves or raised-face steel flanges.Valves are frequently supplied with sealing details built into the flange facing. Unlessthese details are known to seal against Bondstrand flanges, use the usual full-face,1⁄8 inch thick elastomeric gasket.

Safety factors Standard black or solid gray molded flanges in 4 through 12-inch sizes have a safetyfactor to failure torque of 1.5 or greater when joined to another Bondstrand flange or anyflat-face flange in accordance with these instructions. All other Bondstrand flangeshave a safety factor to failure of 1.5 or greater when joined to a raised-face steel flangeor a valve in accordance with these instructions.

Saddlesfor Bondstrand fiberglass piping systems

Installation The following saddle installation procedures should be observed in order to insuremaximum performance.

a. Sand with rough sandpaper or flapper sander all surface gloss from the pipewall where the saddle is to be bonded.

b. Locate the saddle on the pipe and trace the hole to cut and the saddle’souter perimeter.

c. Cut a hole of the desired size using a pilot drill and a circular hole saw. Acarbide tipped or diamond hole saw is recommended. Do not force thecutter or it will fray the edges of the hole.

GROUP HEADQUARTERS







g. Align the saddle over the hole and clamp to pipe with two hose clamps.

h. Tighten the clamps alternately until secure and an adhesive bead surroundsthe saddle.

i. If the temperature is below 40˚F, heat assist methods such as the HeatBlanket must be used in order for the adhesive to cure.

j. Do not pressurize the line until the adhesive has fully cured. Please checkindividual series product data sheets for saddle pressure ratings. It must beremembered that a pipe system’s lowest rated component is the system’scontrolling pressure capacity. If the required pressure rating for a particularservice exceeds the capacity of a saddle, an alternate fitting such as a teeshould be installed.

Installation d. Insure that the bonding surfaces are clean. If the surfaces are oily or greasy,they may be cleaned with additional sanding or solvent (not supplied). It isimperative that all surfaces be clean and dry before applying adhesive.

e. Mix adhesive according to directions, taking careful notice of the workinglife, approximately 20 minutes at 75˚F.

f. Apply adhesive to the pipe wall, interior of the saddle and the edges of thepipe wall exposed by the hole.

Maintenance CouplingAssembly instructions for butt-end joints and repair

Instructions 1. Cutting the pipe — Before cutting the replacement length of pipe, allow thetemperature of the existing system to stabilize to avoid length changes throughexpansion or contraction. Measure the replacement piece carefully so that the spacebetween its ends and the ends of the pipe in the existing system will be no morethan 1⁄8 inch.

2. Positioning the coupling — Center the maintenance coupling over the joint andmark the lap length on the pipe ends. Sand the pipe ends with a belt sander usingbelts with a 40-grit abrasive. Sand inaccessible areas with a flapper sander or byhand using a “shoeshine” method. Sand until all gloss is removed from surfaces tobe bonded. Sand the cut ends of the pipe as well.

3. Checking for snugness of fit — Fit the parts together dry before final sanding.The 180° inner sections placed around the pipe ends should, when held in contacton one side, show from 0 to 1⁄8 inch separation on the opposite side. If, with zeroseparation, the inner sections are not snug against the pipe surfaces, file back anedge as required to get a snug fit. If the sections, when fitted snugly, show aseparation of more than 1⁄8 inch, correct any misalignment of pipe ends and sand tofit. The outer sections of the coupling should show 1⁄8 inch or more of separation.

4. Final sanding — All mating surfaces must be clean and dry and must be sandedwithin two hours of assembly. Sand using a 1⁄4-inch drill motor at 1700-2000 rpm anda flapper type sander with a 40- 50 grit aluminum oxide abrasive, available fromAmeron. After sanding, bonding surfaces should show a dull fresh finish, not apolished look.

Use special care in handling parts to avoid contamination. Handle the parts with newgloves which are used only for this purpose or with clean, dry cotton cloths.

If the bonding surfaces are wet, warm them with a Bondstrand heating blanket untildry, then resand. Protect the bonding surfaces from moisture during wet weatherwith tenting over the work area.

5. Selecting the adhesive — Unless the project specifications or the BondstrandCorrosion Guide (FP132) recommends a special adhesive for your particular service,use Bondstrand PSX™34 epoxy adhesive. Instructions for mixing and using theadhesive are in the adhesive kit.

Larger couplings are more difficult to handle and assemble; once the adhesive hasbeen mixed, the time available for assembly is limited by the adhesive pot life. Acrew of two or three is suggested when assembling 8- through 16-inch couplings.

Important notice

Instructions (cont.) 6. Applying the adhesive — With the spatula supplied in the adhesive kit, applyadhesive to completely cover the cut pipe edges, the prepared pipe ends and theinner surfaces of the two inner sections of the coupling. Use enough adhesive sothat any excess will be forced to flow to the edges of the sections when assembledaround the pipe ends. Assemble these two inner half sections by centering themaround the butted ends of the pipe. If the potlife of the adhesive is now more thanhalf expired, it may be necessary to defer further assembly and cure the innersections. If so, clamp the sections and cure according to the instructions provided inthe adhesive kit. After curing, let the parts cool completely, remove the clamps,resand the remaining mating surfaces, mix a new batch of adhesive and proceed asfollows.

Apply adhesive to cover completely the outer surfaces of the inner sections.Assemble the two outer sections with the split line about 90° away from the split linein the inner sections. Place the hose clamps around the assembly and draw themtight. Remove excess adhesive for a workmanlike appearance.

7. Curing the adhesive — Heat-cure the adhesive using Ameron heating blankets.Cure time is 1 hour and 15 minutes for all diameters. Apply the heating blankets inaccordance with the instructions provided with the blanket, making certain that anyoverlap of the blanket covers the thermostat. It is always a good idea to insulatearound the heating blanket and to close the ends of the piping system to preventmovement of cold air inside the pipe while the adhesive is curing.

Ameron assumes no liability whatsoever in connectionwith this literature or the information or recommendations it contains.

Important notice

The cutter on the B-1F tool is designed to cut when the tool is rotating in the clockwisedirection. Attempts to cut with the tool in counterclockwise rotation will bend the cutter

and reduce the effectiveness of the tool. Similarly, when withdrawing the tool aftercompleting a cut, stop the drill motor and simply pull the tool out of the pipe. Do notreverse the drill rotation when withdrawing as this will also tend to bend the cutter.

3) For preparing Bondstrand PSX™•JF, first remove the cutter from the area markedSpigot with an Allen wrench and place it on the arm marked Jacket.The cutter in thisposition will remove the external jacket.

4) Mount tool in chuck of 1⁄2-inch drill motor and tighten chuck securely. For best resultsuse a drill motor with side handles and a spade grip. Important: The shaft on the B-1F tool is round without flats. The round shaft allows the chuck to rotate on theshaft if the cutters bind. This safety feature should not be modified.

5) Except when working on installed pipe, hold the pipe securely, preferably in a pipevise. Use a 1/4-inch thick rubber pad between the clamps and the pipe to protectthe pipe. Warning: Avoid inhaling dust produced by cutting. Wear an OSHA-approved dust mask.

6) Insert the spindle of the tool into the pipe so that the cutter remains away from theend of the pipe. Grip the drill motor firmly and switch to on. Slowly feed the tool intothe pipe until the tool bottoms. Too fast a feed (on the final spigot cut) can producehigh and low spots. Remove the tool from the pipe.

7) For Bondstrand PSX™•JF, once the jacket is removed, place the cutter on the arm marked Spigot for the final cut. See note below.

8) Inspect the cut surface to determine that all ‘glazed’ or resin-covered areas havebeen removed. If such areas remain, sand by hand until the entire surface is without aresin gloss.

Note: If several spigots are to be made, it may be more efficient to shave all the jacketsfirst, then shave all the spigots. Two separate tools, one with the cutter on Jacket andone with the cutter on Spigot may also be used for large installations.

Bondstrand M80 Pipe Shaverfor Quick-Lock® bell x spigot joints in 8- through 16-inch diameters

Operating instructions 1) Check your shaver – If this is your first use of the M80 pipe shaver, check tosee that all parts are included or available. The following parts are included with theM80 pipe shaver and case:

a) Shaving tool complete with two cutting tool assemblies.

b) Pipe shaver gauge (BB) with 0.015-inch feeler gauge attached.

c) Two turning handles (U) and attaching cap screws (AD). These are not needed ifa power drive is used.

d) Six Allen wrenches, sizes 3⁄32, 5⁄32, 3⁄16, 1⁄4, 5⁄16 and 3⁄8 inch.

e) Arbors (Q) complete with O-rings are available separately (See drawing on page 3).

f) In addition, you will need the equipment listed in the Bondstrand Quick-LockAssembly Instructions, FP170. A wrench fitting a 11⁄8 inch hex head will also berequired. A portable power drive is not required but it makes the job mucheasier. Contact the manufacturers or their representatives for information on thefollowing portable power drives:

Introduction The M80 pipe shaver is designed to prepare Quick-Lock spigot ends onBondstrand pipe as described in the Bondstrand Assembly Instructions, FP170.Pipe is shipped from the factory with prepared spigot ends, but pipe cut to lengthon the jobsite must be provided with a new spigot end before assembly. Spigotends can be prepared on 10 through 16-inch pipe of any Bondstrand series withthe Quick-Lock joint using the M80 tool. The M80 tool can also be used to shave 8-inch Quick-Lock spigots and is to be preferred to the B-1 tool when preparing 8-inch Bondstrand Series 2000M and 7000M marine pipe that have greater wallthicknesses than Bondstrand industrial pipe.

The M80 pipe shaver requires a different arbor for each pipe size. The expandingarbor slips into the pipe and the O-rings expand to grip the inside pipe surfacewhen the tie bar is tightened. As the frame is rotated around the feed tube, thecutting tools advance and shave a cylindrical surface (spigot) on the pipe. Whenadjusted and used as described in these instructions, the shaver prepares anexcellent bonding surface with a controlled diametral tolerance.

This unit can be rotated by hand or with a portable power drive such as is used forthreading 1⁄2 to 2-inch steel pipe. A key in the portable power drive engages akeyway in the power drive seat to rotate the unit.

Before handling the shaver,engage knurled slide sleeve (G)by sliding it fully forward underthe power drive seat. Handling

the shaver with slide sleevedisengaged may cause injury.

The shaver is a precision tooland must be handled with care.

Caution: Do not reverse power driveto return cutting head to starting

position. Do not use power drive toadvance cutting head beyond

maximum pointer depth(about 3 inches). Shaver will jam at

end of travel, possibly causing injury.When using shaver to make nipples,

avoid possible injury whenadvancing cutting head by turning

shaver manually.

These tools fit a power drive seat 3.62 inches (91.9 millimeters) in diameter.

2) Locate cutting tool assemblies

Locate cutting tool assemblies in the appropriate slots in frame B for the desired pipesize, and assemble slide plate ( K), washer (T) and socket head cap screw (AE) on eachassembly, and tighten screws (AE) with 3⁄8-inch Allen wrench.

3) Adjust cutting edges

a) Disengage slide sleeve (G) by sliding it fully out from under the power drive seat anddraw tie bar (D) back so that feed tube (C) is fully back into frame (B), and reengageslide sleeve (G). Remove nut (H) from tie bar (D), remove arbor (Q) if one is on tie bar,and slip pipe shaver gauge (BB) onto feed tube (C).

b) With the 5⁄16-inch Allen wrench, slightly loosen socket head cap screw (AG) on onecutting tool assembly. Adjust form tool (P) in toward or out from pipe shaver gauge(BB) with adjusting screw (AA) until cutting insert (W) is separated from pipe shavergauge (BB) by the thickness of the 0.015-inch feeler gauge. Lock form tool (P) inplace by tightening socket head cap screw (AG). Recheck position of cutting insert(W) after the form tool (P) is locked in place, and readjust if necessary. Repeatprocedure to set second form tool (P).

c) Remove gauge (BB) and slip arbor (Q) over feed tube (C). Turn nut (H) onto tie bar (D)so that key on nut (H) will engage slot in arbor (Q). Nut (H) will be tightened later.

4) Mount shaver in end of pipe

With the Bondstrand pipe cut to length and firmly held in position (See photos ofpadded vise in the Bondstrand Assembly Instructions), you are now ready to mount theshaver on the end of the pipe. Disengage slide sleeve (G) and slide arbor (Q) and feedtube (C) forward, away from frame (B) and re-engage slide sleeve (G). Slip arbor (Q) intoBondstrand pipe until the end of arbor (Q) nearest to frame (B) is flush with end of pipe.Now with a 11⁄8-inch wrench, tighten tie bar (D) (looking toward frame [B], turn hex headclockwise) so that arbor (Q) is locked firmly inside pipe. Again disengage the slidesleeve (G), slide frame (B) toward pipe until cutting inserts (W) are nearly touching theend of pipe, and re-engage the slide sleeve.

5) Shave the spigot

If a portable power drive is used, slide the drive onto the power drive seat. If you aregoing to turn the shaver by hand, attach handles (U). Begin turning shaver frameclockwise (looking toward pipe), and continue turning and shaving pipe surface untildesired spigot length is cut (See table on page 4).

6) Check shaved diameter

a) After shaving one inch of the first spigot, you will need to check the shaveddiameter. First, disengage the slide sleeve (G), slide frame (B) away from pipe untilcutting inserts (W) are at the starting position, and re-engage the slide sleeve (G).With the arbor (Q) still firmly in place, measure the shaved diameter of the newspigot using a circumferential wrap tape such as a Pi Tape® with a vernier reading to0.001 inch (0.02 millimeter) on diameter. See table on page 4 for tolerance range onspigot diameters. If your measured diameter falls well within this tolerance range,you may proceed to Step 7.

b) If the diameter measured in Step 6a was borderline or outside the recommendedtolerance range, a slight adjustment of the two form tools (P) is required. Loosensocket head cap screw (AG) slightly and adjust screw (AA) as required on both tools.A quarter turn of adjusting screw (AA) will change the diameter of spigot by0.020 inch (0.50 millimeter).

c) If the spigot is too small, go to Step 7 and cut off and discard the shaved spigot.Reposition arbor (Q) in pipe end and shave new spigot after adjustment, repeatingSteps 4, 5 and 6 until the proper diameter is obtained.

d) Spigot too large—after adjustment, repeat Step 6 until proper diameter is obtained.

7) Remove shaver from pipe

To remove arbor (Q) from pipe, loosen tie bar (D) using a 11⁄8 inch wrench (looking towardframe [B], turn hex head counterclockwise). With slide sleeve (G) engaged, slide arbor(Q) out of the pipe.

8) Recheck adjustment for wear or abuse

Once the shaver has been properly adjusted for a given pipe size, you will usually needto check spigot diameters only at the beginning and middle of each shift, provided the

Shaving a spigot in one passproduces a slightly larger diameterthan is produced by shaving thin

cuts on repeated passes. To shaveacceptable diameters on one pass,

you must adjust the shaver based onmeasurements of spigots made in a

single pass.

Taper-Tool® IIfor 8”-16” pipe, Bondstrand® Series 3000A & 3200A

General Taper-Tool II is a precisely engineered tapering machine designed to accurately grinda taper which will mate perfectly with the other system components for 8”-16” pipe,Bondstrand Series 3000A and 3200A. The original model Taper-Tool II has the motormounted on the grinding drum while the newer Taper-Tool II has the motor separatefrom the grinding drum. The high speed motor (120v AC/DC) and diamond surfacedgrinding drum assure a smooth and uniform taper for maximum bond strength.

As with all precision equipment, care during use and proper storage are veryimportant in order to maintain the equipment in good working order. The Taper-Tool IIis designed to give many years of service when maintained properly.Note: Reference Safety Recommendations on the back of this brochure.

CERTIFICATED FIRM


Taper-Tool II: Fixed Motor Model

Taper-Tool II: Remote Motor Model

Preparation In the process of field fabrication, proper cutting and tapering is essential for correctinstallation and performance.

1. For all cutting and tapering, the pipe must be held securely with a strapwrench, saw guide/clamp assembly or a chain vise. When a chain vise isused to hold the pipe, always wrap the pipe with protective material (rubber)to prevent damage to the outer surface.

2. Cutting 8”-16” pipe should be done with a power driven circular abrasive cut-off wheel. Note: Reference Safety Recommendations on the back of thisbrochure.

3. The cut made on a pipe must be as straight as possible to insure a propertapering. Saw guides are recommended, but when not available, a wrap-around may be used to scribe or mark a cutting guideline. See Table 1, page 6.

a. The tool comes packaged with nine 8” Extension Pins (refer to numericalidentification key Figure 1, Part 9) installed in the two Spiders (1 &10). Thereare pins for each of the pipe sizes, 8”, 10”, 12”, 14” and 16”. The tool will notfit into the storage case with any size pins larger than 8” installed. The 8” pinsare slotted to be tightened or loosened with a coin, not a screwdriver. Theother sizes are knurled to be hand tightened only. Install appropriate sizeextension pins into the spiders. Check that the mating surfaces of the pinsand spiders are clean prior to installing different pins. It may be necessary toreposition the grinding drum to install different sized pins. Adjustment ismade by loosening the Allen Screw (54) and sliding Sleeve (55) and Housing(48) down the shaft.

Taper Tool® II Set-Up

Refer to numericalidentification key

Figure 1 on page 10for references to part

numbers.

d. Motor assembly of the remote motor model Taper-Tool® II should beperformed as follows:

1. Remove dust covers from Flexible Drive Shaft Ends (57).

2. Push on the male hexagonal end of the drive shaft to extend the femaleend beyond the drive shaft housing.

3. Rotate motor shaft so the flat side is facing up.

4. Insert the female end of the drive shaft over the male end of the motor shaft.

5. Through hole in motor housing, lock the set screw very tightly on the flatof the motor shaft.

6. Screw the outer flexible drive shaft housing to motor.

Motor Connection

Preparation (cont’d) b. Be sure the pointer, on the Degree Plate (59), is set at 2 degrees for standardAmeron pipe tapers. Loosen bolts (44) to adjust taper angle, and thenretighten. Dropping the tool will result in knocking the set angle off ordamaging the tool. Do not drop.

c. Set rear spider at the end of the Extension Tube (3). Loosen screw (2) ifnecessary to move spider. Next, retract the extension pins fully by turning theExtension Pin Adjusting Knob (22) counterclockwise until it stops.

3

Grinding Drum Connection 7. Insert hexagonal end of drive shaft into the Female Hexagonal DrumOpening (38). After insertion has been completed, screw on the outer casingof the drive shaft. Tighten to a snug fit.

e. In order to insert the tool into the pipe, loosen Locking Sleeve (55) byunscrewing Allen Screw (54) sliding sleeve and Housing (48) away from thespiders. Temporarily lock sleeve on shaft. Turn adjusting knob until allthreads disappear into housing.

f. It is important that the pipe end be cut square. The tolerance is shown in Table1 on page 27. Slide Rear Spider (1) into pipe with Extension Tube (3) in acocked position. Push rear spider into pipe until Front Spider (10) is againstpipe. Raise the tool so front spider enters and fits snugly into pipe.

4

g. Slide the tool until the pipe and the grinding drum are in the proper position.For the original model Taper-Tool® II, set pipe within 1/4” of fully depressedbrake button. In the case of the newer Taper-Tool II, set the pipe 1/4” from thebottom lip of the Grinding Drum Guard (23).

Grinding Drum Connection(cont’d)

h. Turn Extension Pin Adjusting Knob (22) clockwise by hand until the toolcannot slip or turn in the pipe. Do Not Overtighten! The pipe can bedeformed and an improper taper, or damage to the tool can result.

5

Taper Lengths & Angles

Proper and consistent insertion depths can be maintained by grinding all tapers untilthe thin end reaches 0.050 to 0.060” thickness.

6

i. The following are the approximate taper lengths for the various pipe sizes:

Table 1.

Taper Length/Angle/Out of Square 8-16 Inch Pipe

Nominal Taper Taper Maximum Pipe Size Length Angle Out of Square(inches) (inches) (degrees) (inches)

8 23/4 2 3/16

10 31/2 2 1/4

12 4 2 1/4

14 41/4 2 1/4

16 51/4 2 5/16

c. Rotate the fixed motor Taper-Tool II by turning handle clockwise. (A one-wayinternal clutch prevents turning the wrong way). Caution should be exercisedto avoid twisting of electric cord. The preferred method of accomplishing thisis to use pipe rollers and keep tool stationary. A two man crew, one to turn thepipe and one to operate the tool, would be necessary. For the remote motormodel Taper-Tool II, grasp the drive shaft and rotate the tool clockwisearound the pipe taking care not to twist the grinding drum thereby changingthe taper angle.

d. Rotation should be continuous and uniform. After one complete turn of thetool, repeat procedure of turning taper depth adjusting knob and rotating tooluntil proper taper length is obtained. Avoid heavy cuts that slow motor downdrastically. Be sure tool vibration does not loosen the extension pin adjustingknob. Observe the taper while it is being ground. If there are six high (or low)spots, this is an indication that the extension pins are too tight and aredeforming the pipe. Loosen the extension pins until a smooth taper is beingground. Rotate the pipe during tapering to eliminate the effects of high andlow grinding.

7

a. Plug the electric cord into either a 115 volt AC power source. Test the tool forsmooth operation. There should be no vibration. Caution: The motor turns at20,000 RPM and tapering pipe causes large volumes of dust. Wear a dustmask and goggles.

b. Turn on motor switch. Carefully turn Taper Depth Adjusting Knob (53)counterclockwise until the grinding drum comes in contact with the pipe.Note: Use caution in keeping hands away from the motor, blades andany of the moving pieces.

Taper Tool® II Operation

8

e. To stop the tool after proper taper length has been obtained, turn the taperdepth adjusting knob three complete turns clockwise to clear the grindingdrum from the pipe. Turn motor off and stop the grinding drum by depressingthe brake button (old style only).

f. Remove by turning extension pin adjusting knob counterclockwise until itstops and pull tool out of pipe. Be sure threads on adjusting knob are cleanedthoroughly.

Taper Tool® II Operation(cont’d)

Manufacture ofClose Nipples

The rear spider should remain at the end of the extension tube except for nipplesshorter than 26”. For nipples shorter than 26”, loosen screw and slide the rear spiderinto position and retighten screw. An alternate grinding procedure for close nipples isto hold the tapering tool stationary and rotate each nipple by hand or with a strapwrench.

Reversing theGrinding Drum

The grinding drum is diamond coated and should be turned end for end to extendservice life after it becomes dull. This will resharpen the drum by exposing newdiamonds to the cutting surface. A dull grinding drum can cause overheating of thedrum and/or motor. To turn it around, remove guard first and place a strap wrencharound the drum. Remove cap and use a socket wrench to remove nut. Note that thisis a left hand thread. Pull the drum off the shaft, turn drum and replace. Tighten nutand replace cap and guard.

Maintenance Keep your Taper-Tool® II clean. Keep all motor passage ways free of dust. The motormust have adequate ventilation during operation or overheating will result. Removethe filter on back of motor to blow or wash clean (fixed motor model). Be sure it is drybefore replacing. Do not let any dust get into pistons when changing extension pins.Keep shafts lightly oiled and wiped dry to prevent rust. Periodically the flexible driveshaft should be lubricated with Lubriplate type 807 grease. Keep the tool in the casewhen not in use. Do not attempt to disassemble the tool except as stated in theseinstructions. If necessary to contact manufacturer regarding this tool, be sure to referto the motor serial number.

Do’s Don’ts• Keep it clean. • Use a pipe wrench or hammer on tool.• Keep in case when not in use. • Stand directly in front of grinding drum.• Keep shafts lightly oiled and wiped. • Use any voltage but 115 volt AC/DC.• Keep motor free of dust. • Over tighten adjusting knobs.• Keep bolts and screws tight. • Leave extension pins out.

• Run motor with excess vibration.• Run motor with no load or over load.• Lubricate anything but shafts.

Engineering Controls:

• A fabrication area should be set up in which to perform as much of thefabrication work as is practical or possible.

• Local exhaust ventilation should be provided at areas of cutting and/ortapering to remove airborne dust and fibers. General dilution ventilationshould be provided as necessary to keep airborne dust and fibers below theapplicable exposure limits and guidelines. The need for ventilation systemsshould be evaluated by a professional industrial hygienist.

• Work area should be kept clean, including floor or other horizontal surfaces.Rinsing with water or sweeping with brushes or brooms (using floor sweep) isrecommended. Never use compressed air to clean area or to remove dust forpersonal cleaning. Brushes should be used to remove residue from shavedsurfaces.

Recommended Practicesto Minimize Exposure &Effects of Shavings FromFiberglass Pipe

Personal Protection:

• Always refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) prior to working withunfamiliar materials or if there are questions concerning the contents of thefiberglass pipe.

• OSHA regulates glasswool (fiberglass) under the Hazard CommunicationStandard and as a chemical hazard in laboratories. OSHA classifies glasswoolfiber as a “Particulate Not Otherwise Regulated”, with a workplacepermissible exposure limit (PEL) of 5.0 mg/m3 for respirable dust and 15.0mg/m3 for total dust. These limits are identical to those OSHA requires forconstruction workers exposed to fibrous glass, which were adopted from the1970 Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) of the American Conference ofGovernmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH).

• Barrier creme should be applied to the skin in areas which may be exposed toshavings prior to beginning work.

• Clean clothes should be worn each day. Do not wear clothing that has notbeen laundered to begin a work shift. More frequent changing may be requiredby conditions.



• Gloves with elastic cuffs should be worn at all times. Replace worn or contam-inated gloves as necessary. Gloves with flared, stiff cuffs act as a gatheringfunnel for shavings.


• Wristbands and watches should be removed to prevent rubbing or accumu-lation of particles on skin underneath the band.

• A respirator should be used if ventilation is unavailable, or is inadequate forkeeping dust and fiber levels below the applicable exposure limits. To protectagainst dust and fibers, use a NIOSH-certified disposable or reusableparticulate respirator with an efficiency rating of N95 or higher (42 CFR 84)when working with this product. For exposures up to five times theestablished exposure limits use a quarter-mask respirator, rated N95 orhigher; and for exposures up to ten times the established exposure limits usea half-mask respirator (e.g., MSA’s DM-11, Racal’s Delta N95, 3M’s 8210),rated N95 or higher. Operations such as sawing, blowing, tear out andspraying may generate airborne fiber concentrations requiring a higher level ofrespiratory protection. For exposures up to 50 times the established exposurelimits use a full-face respirator, rated N99 or higher.

Personal Hygiene:

• Wash exposed skin with soap solution (liquid soap preferred) and cool water.• Use washcloth with “brushing” motion to remove dust or fibers. Do not scrub

the skin. This could result in the fibers being imbedded into the skin.• Rinse thoroughly with clean, cold water.• Apply lotion or creme to skin (non-detergent formulas such as baby lotion) to

soothe irritation or prevent further immediate irritation.

Heat Blanketsfor heat-curing adhesive joints in Bondstrand®

pipe and fittings.

General Bondstrand heating blankets are specially designed to heat-cure adhesive joints inBondstrand pipe and fittings. Requiring either 120-volt or 220-volt alternating current,the blankets are quickly and easily applied. They provide thermostatically controlledheat, helping to assure maximum joint strength and reliability.

Blankets are available in five sizes and two voltages as follow:

FP805A (12/98)

Using the Blanket Place the thermostat end of your Bondstrand heating blanket against the assembledjoint with the thermostat side facing out from the joint. Wrap the remainder of theblanket around the joint so that overlap, if any, will cover the thermostat. Tie theblanket in place with any nonconducting tie.

ISO-9001

CERTIFICATED FIRM


Insulation It is always a good idea to insulate around the heating blanket and to close the pipeends. This is essential when it is windy or when air temperature is below 40° F.Fiberglass insulation backed with aluminum foil generally works well. Insulationshould overwrap the blanket sides about 4 inches (100 mm) each way and be tieddown near the edges to trap the heat. Caution: Joint must not be moved, vibrated orotherwise distributed during cure of adhesive.

Flange Mounting Flange mounting requires a special wrap. Lay the blanket flat with the thermostatdown and, starting at the thermostat end, roll up the blanket. Insert the rolled blanketinto the pipe end only to the depth of the fresh joint, leaving the cord and part of theblanket exposed as shown. Fill the space inside the rolled blanket with fiberglassinsulation or some other heat-resistant material to ensure that the blanket remainssnugly against the inside joint surface.

Curing the Joint Determine the required cure time from the Bondstrand assembly instructions found inthe adhesive kit.

Warning: Before applying power, inspect the blanket and cord for loose wireconnections and bare wires. Do not plug cord into live power source whenstanding in water or on wet surfaces.

Apply alternate current (ac) at the voltage marked on the heating blanket. Do not usedirect current (dc) power supply. Mark the start-up and disconnect time on the pipewith a white grease pencil and you will have a record of cure for each joint in thesystem. Be sure all electrical connections are good and that the blanket actuallyheats up each time.

Handling Transportation

a. Let the factory arrangement of the pipe be your guide for correct supportingand spacing when rearranging for transport. Do not let pipe or fittings rest onthe bed of the truck where nails, studs and other objects might damage them.Whenever pipe or fittings come in contact with wood or metal, padding suchas excelsior, carpet or foam should be used.

b. The pipe should be securely fastened directly over the dunnage with tiedownsconsisting of nylon straps or manila rope. Avoid overtightening which maycause excessive localized deformation in the pipe. Straps and ropes shouldbe retightened every 50 miles while in transit. Rope ties should be usedbetween standards to prevent the load from spreading.

c. Do not allow the pipe to extend more than 3 feet beyond the truck or trailerbed as permanent damage can result from excessive flexing. Pronto-Lock®

pipe should always be loaded with the female ends even. Spacers usedduring transportation should be padded.

d. Bondstrand pipe is a light load, particularly with larger diameter pipe.Therefore, reduce speed on rough roads to minimize bouncing.

Properly loaded pipe. Rope ties shouldbe used between standards to prevent

the load from spreading (left). Straps andropes should be retightened every

50 miles while in transit (right).

H a n d l i n g( c o n t . )

Loading and unloading

a . Pipe and fittings should never be thrown or dropped under any circ u m s t a n c e s .

b . If the pipe load is properly separated and supported, forklifts can be used.Forklifts should have at least a 6-foot carriage (distance between the forks). Alls u rfaces that come in contact with the pipe should be padded.

c . Never jam or spear forks into a load of fiberglass pipe except where spacers ofat least 2-inch thickness are located.

d . If load is irregular and cannot be reliably moved by fork truck, or pro p e requipment is not available, the pipe should be carefully loaded and unloaded byhand one length at a time. The nominal weights for each respective pipe lengthcan be found under PI P E WE I G H T.

Pipe weight Tabulated values are in U.S. Customary units (lb/ft of pipe) and include couplings.

I n s p e c t i o n Since pipe and fittings may be subjected to rough treatment during transport a t i o n ,storage and handling, it is imperative that they be fully inspected for possible impactdamage, cracking or manufacturing defects. If the outside surface of the pipe has beengouged or exhibits a depression, it is likely that the impact has also caused damage tothe liner. Impact damage on translucent pipe can usually be detected by a localized colord i ff e rence in the pipe.

The color diff e rence may be as small as 1⁄2 inch in diameter or as large as 4 inches indiameter depending on the intensity of the impact. Inspection of pipe and fittings shouldbe undertaken upon delivery and just prior to installation. At delivery, check the loadc a re f u l l y. If pipe or fittings are delivered damaged, the following pro c e d u re should beo b s e rv e d :

End Users and Distributors:Accept all damaged material.Note damage on freight bill and bill of lading. Notify theshipper immediately. Depending on the origin of shipment, call the Bondstranddistributor in your area, or, in the case of direct shipments, call Ameron Fiberglass PipeS y s t e m s .

During inspection, isolate any damaged sections immediately to avoid any chance ofdamaged material being installed. All damage on pipe must be cut out and re p a i re d .Inspection plays a major role in the ultimate success of an installed pipeline. If damagedor defective pipe or fittings can be detected prior to installation, the installer will avoidf rustration and delays caused by necessary rework. All parties involved will benefit fro mc a reful and thorough inspection.

Designing the Bondstrand system

This guide contains general information for designing suspended Bondstrand pipingsystems. This information, in conjunction with good general engineering practiceand the designer’s good judgment, must all be applied to complete a successfuland economical piping system.

The guide considers the following:

• Criteria for selecting Bondstrand products for a given application

• Expansion and contraction

• Span between supports and support location

• Connections to other materials and equipment

• Coating Bondstrand products

• Suggested details for guides, supports and anchors

While Bondstrand performs in many applications just like metallic systems, thedesigner must recognize some important differences:

• Bondstrand pipe weighs only about 1⁄7 as much as Schedule 40 carbon steelpipe. This means that pipe and piping assemblies even in 16-inch diameterscan be lifted into place using any light lifting equipment. In the smaller diame-ters, no lifting equipment is necessary. This reduces on-site installation costs.

• The longitudinal modulus of Bondstrand is much less than that of carbon steelpipe — a characteristic that limits spans where deflection is important but alsoreduces thrust due to temperature change.

• Thermal expansion is 60% greater than for carbon steel. However, by takingadvantage of the Bondstrand’s flexibility, you can provide for this expansioneconomically, often without using expansion joints.

• Bondstrand fiberglass pipe requires protection against potential external abra-sion or crushing at points where steel supports are located. Such protection iseasy and economical.

• Effective modulus values vary with temperature. Recommended spans andestimated thrusts are given to help the designer detail his project for long-timeoperation at ambient and elevated temperatures.

Recognition of these and other differences dealt with in this guide is the key tosuccessful installations. While this information is likely to prove most helpful tothose designing Bondstrand systems for the first time, experienced Bondstrandcustomers will also find new and useful information.

Be aware that the reinforced thermosetting resin piping products offered by othermanufacturers may differ significantly from Bondstrand. Resin systems, manu-facturing processes and joining systems are important variables affecting themechanical and physical properties of these products. The recommendationsand suggestions given are based on Ameron’s test and field experience andshould be applied only to Bondstrand products.

Selecting Bondstrand pipe, fittings and adhesives

A choice of either epoxy or vinyl ester Bondstrand products is available for differentchemical and thermal environments. For information to guide your selection, refer tothe Bondstrand Corrosion Guide, FP132. This publication provides recommenda-tions for different chemicals and other fluid materials, including food products, aswell as guidance for selecting the appropriate Bondstrand adhesive.

Filament-wound versus molded products

In smaller pipe sizes, you have a choice between molded and filament-woundfittings. In general, filament-wound fittings should be used in applications wherefittings in loops, turns or branches are intended to flex, where temperature changesexceed 100°F in restrained or blocked systems, or where the system is exposed tomechanical vibration or hydraulic surge. Filament wound fittings would be used,also, in systems where a liner is required. Some sizes and types of fittings are notavailable in both molded and filament-wound styles, so check the BondstrandFittings Dimensions, FP282, for availability when making your choice.

1 General (cont)Energy savings

Remember when selecting pipe diameter that Bondstrand's low frictional values(Hazen-Williams C = 150) will reduce your pumping energy requirements comparedto those for carbon steel pipe. In most systems these low frictional values will bemaintained for the life of the system.

Note also that the slightly larger inside diameter of Bondstrand pipe compared toSchedule 40 or 80 carbon steel pipe, will further reduce your pumping costs. Handycharts in the Bondstrand engineering guides show the head loss expected for bothpipe and fittings.

Insulated systems

Bondstrand may be insulated in the field. Bondstrand pipe is also available frommany pipe insulators with efficient built-in insulation. If you use insulatedBondstrand, be sure to check your support spacings for the operating temperatureto accommodate the added weight of the insulation and jacket.

Series 2000M-FP is manufactured with a factory applied, reinforced coating whichprovides impact resistance and thermal insulation in addition to its fire protectionproperties. Unless indicated otherwise, values presented in the tables for Series2000 can be used for Series 2000M-FP.

Other application information

Where containment is required for your piping system, Ameron can supplyBondstrand II pipe with a variety of joining and performance options.

Ameron has prepared a number of publications with valuable information pertainingto specific types of service, including marine applications, fire protection systemsand steam condensate returns. Just call your local Bondstrand distributor or yournearest Ameron sales office, and let us know your application. Give us the temper-ature, pressure, liquid or gas to be carried, and other pertinent conditions.

In addition, Ameron has computer programs for deflection and stress analysis ofBondstrand systems. For a nominal fee, Ameron Engineering Department will bepleased to utilize one of these programs to analyze your specific systems.Experience shows, however, that such analysis is required only for the moredemanding or complicated conditions and that the generalized procedures presentedherein will usually suffice.

2 Designing forexpansion andcontraction

General principles

Suspended pipe generally performs best where it is permitted to move freely. Inthese systems, anchors serve only to keep the pipe properly positioned betweenloops and turns. Center the anchor in the run between loops if possible. An anchorshould be placed between loops and between loops and turns. Except for the oneanchor per run, supports should carry the pipe and maintain the intended drainageslope but should not restrain the pipe against axial movement. At turns, thesupports should also permit lateral movement. Supports should not fall directly onfittings.

If the piping system cannot be designed to move freely, see next section onDESIGNING FOR RESTRAINED SYSTEMS.

Pipe changes length in a free system as a result of changes in temperature andpressure. Since both can increase or decrease concurrently, the resulting changesin length must be combined for loop design. Length-change formulas and examplesappear in Appendix A, but the following paragraphs will provide all you need formost pipeline designs.

Length increase due to a 100psi (7 bar) internal pressure inan unrestrained system.

Values given for Series 2000, 2000M-FP and4000 are valid to 250°F (121°C). Values forSeries 3000A, 3200A, 5000, 5100 and 7000are valid to 200°F (93°C).

Table 1

Length change due to temperature

Tests show that the amount of linear expansion varies directly with temperature.Figure 1 shows the length change for Series 2000, 3000A, 3200A, 4000, 5000, 5100 and7000 Bondstrand pipe.

Length change due to pressure

The amount of length change occurring because of internal pressure depends onwall thickness, diameter, Poisson’s ratio and the effective modulus of elasticity inboth axial and circumferential directions at the operating temperature. InBondstrand pipe, some of these factors tend to cancel each other, and the correc-tion becomes relatively simple. For each 100 feet in a straight, freely supported runof Bondstrand pipe (Table 1) provides length changes which are suitable throughoutthe indicated range of temperatures. You need only correct this value for the pres-sure of your system by using a direct pressure-ratio correction.

Anchoring for branches and valves

Both vertical and horizontal branches can add complexity to a system intended tomove freely. Unless a branch can move both axially and laterally, such as a shortstub-out to a nozzle or flexible hose connection, it will require special considerationto avoid undue bending stresses. Sometimes the best solution is to anchor both thebranch and the run at the tee, accommodating the pipe length changes at turns orloops in each of the three connecting lines. For example, a vertical branchconnecting to buried pipe may include a Z-loop; the tee may be rotated 90° topermit an L-loop; or the vertical l ine may be treated as a restrained pipe asdescribed in Designing for Restrained Systems.

Valves should be anchored and supported directly, especially in diameters sixinches and larger. Valve weight in the larger sizes and torque on valve handles in allsizes are the primary concerns. Generally, butterfly valves with manual lever handleactuators do not require separate supports. Other types of actuators can add toomuch torque or weight if they are not separately supported.

Expansion loop design:Length of loop leg required toaccommodate listed lengthchanges

Table 2

Using expansion loops

Loops are recommended for relieving longitudinal stress between anchors in asuspended pipeline. Table 2 gives minimum expansion loop dimensions for allBondstrand pipe series. First, determine how much total length change due totemperature and pressure must be absorbed. Use the appropriate table for the pipeseries you are using. Select the pipe diameter and total length change to determinethe required leg length for a U-loop design. As an example, assume that a Series2000 eight-inch line is installed and will change a total of two inches in length. Table2 for Series 2000 and Series 4000 shows that the length of loop leg required toaccommodate the length change is 9 feet (2.8m).

Loops should be horizontal whenever possible to avoid entrapping air or sedimentand to facilitate drainage.

• For upward loops, air relief valves aid air removal and improve flow. In pres-sure systems, air removal for both pressure testing and normal operation isrequired for safety as well.

• For downward loops, air pressure equalizing lines may be necessary to permitdrainage.

• In both cases, special taps are necessary for complete drainage.

Loops using 90° elbows absorb length change better than those using 45° elbows.Unlike a 90° turn, a 45° turn carries a thrust component through the turn which canadd axial stress to the usual bending stress in the pipe and fittings. Alignment anddeflection are also directly affected by the angular displacement at 45° turns anddemand special attention for support design and location.

A 45° elbow at a free turn with the same increment of length change in each leg willbe displaced 86% more than a 90° elbow. The relative displacement in the plane ofa loop is also more of a problem. Figure 2 illustrates the geometry involved. Designinformation is not provided because it is beyond the scope of this manual and loopswith 45° elbos are generally not recommended. Consult Ameron if a situationrequires the use of 45° elbows.

Expansion joints

Instead of a loop, an expansion joint may be used to relieve longitudinal stress. Thetype selected must be fairly flexible, such as a Teflon bellows which is activated by thethrust of low modulus materials (see Note , Table 3).

Supports for expansion joints must be carefully designed and placed to maintaincontrolled deflection. Besides adding weight, most of these joints act as partial struc-tural hinges which afford only limited transfer of moment and shear. Where theexpansion joint relies on elastomers or thermoplastics for strength, the structuraldiscontinuity or hinging effect at the joint increases with increases in temperature.

When using an expansion joint in a pipeline carrying solids, consider the possibility thatit may stiffen or fail to function due to sedimentation in the expansion joint. Failure ofthe expansion joint may cause excessive pipe deflection.

3 Designing forrestrained systems

General principles

The layout of a system occasionally makes it impossible to allow the pipe to “movefreely.” Sometimes it may be necessary to block certain runs of an otherwise freesystem. In a fully restrained pipe (blocked against movement at both ends), thedesigner must deal with thrust rather than length change. Both temperature andpressure produce thrust which must be resisted at turns, branches, reducers andends. Knowing the magnitude of this thrust enables the designer to select satisfac-tory anchors . Remember that axial thrust on anchors is independent of anchorspacing. Formulas and examples are found in Appendix B.

In practice, the largest compressive thrust is normally developed on the first positivetemperature cycle. Subsequently, the pipe develops both compressive and tensileloads as it is subjected to temperature and pressure cycles. Neither compressivenor tensile loads, however, are expected to exceed the thrust on the first cycleunless the ranges of the temperature and pressure change.

Thrust due to temperature

In a fully restrained Bondstrand pipe, length changes induced by temperaturechange are resisted at the anchors and converted to thrust. The thrust developeddepends on the thermal coefficient of expansion, the cross-sectional area, themodulus of elasticity and the temperature change, ∆t. Table 3 gives the maximumaxial thrust in anchored lines for each series of Bondstrand pipe at three elevatedtemperatures. The table assumes a fully relaxed initial pipe length at 60°F, withshort-time modulus of elasticity values as shown.

Initial temperature-inducedthrusts (pounds-force) in fullyrestrained Bondstrand pipe atvarious operating temperatures

Table 3

Note: in tables above, thrusts are calculated assuming a fully relaxed initial length at 60°F (16°C) and short term modulus of elasticity values as follows.For 2 - 6 inch Series 3000A, use modulus of elasticity values from Series 3200A.Coefficient of thermal expansion is 10 x 10-6 in./in./°F (18 x 10-6 mm/mm/°C) for all but Series 3000A and 3200A which are 8.5 x 10-6 in./in./°F (15.3 x 10-6 mm/mm/°C) for 2 - 6 inch Series 3000A and all Series 3200A sizes, and 12 x 10-6 in./in./°F (21.6 x 10-6 mm/mm/°C) for 8 - 16 inch Series3000A.

Caution: In restrained systems, pipefittings can be damaged by faulty

anchoring or by untimely release ofanchors. Damage to fittings in service can

be caused by bending or slipping of animproperly designed or installed anchor.Also, length changes due to creep areinduced by high pressures or tempera-

tures while pipe is in service. Whenanchors must later be released, especiallyin long pipe runs, temporary anchors maybe required to avoid excessive displace-

ment and overstress of fittings.

Using guides for alignment control

A suspended line which is restrained from movement may need extra supports orguides to maintain alignment, especially when the pipeline is exposed to a widetemperature range. Guides as shown in Figure 6 may permit the pipe to move axiallybut not laterally. Without guides, restrained pipe may not deflect uniformly and, insome cases, may deflect excessively. Tables 5 to 9 (Tables 10 to 14 for metric) giverecommended guide spacing to avoid buckling deflection between anchors.

Supplying this lateral support by using guides at the normal support locations oreven at every other support is often sufficient, especially in the larger diameters. Tocheck, compare the recommended span for your operating temperature as deter-mined from the section entitled SU P P O R T LO C A T I O N S A N D SP A N S with the guidespacings from Tables 5 to 9 (Tables 10 to 14, metric). Be sure that guide andsupport spacing meet both requirements.

As an example for determining guide spacing, assume that a three-inch BondstrandSeries 2000 line is installed at 70°F and is to operate at 250°F (∆T = 180°F). Table 5shows that guides should be installed at intervals of 7 feet.

Notes:

1. Pipe anchors (A) such as shown in figure 8, Section 8 are used in restrainedsystems at each end of a run and justbefore a change in direction, and mustresist the tabulated thrusts.

2. Pipe anchors (B) such as shown in figure 7, Section 8 are light-duty in-lineanchors usually located between two pipeanchors (A) or midway between loops orturns in systems not restrained.

3. Pipe anchors (A and B) at elbows andbranches should be located a distance offive to ten times the pipe diameter fromthe bend. Other anchor locations mayrequire a flexibility analysis.

4. No appreciable thrust on anchors isdeveloped due to internal pressure in thepipe at in-line reducers.

Table 4

Thrust due to pressure

Thrust due to internal pressure in a suspended but restrained system is theoreticallymore complicated. This is because in straight, restrained pipelines with all jointsbonded, the Poisson effect produces considerable tension in the pipe wall. Asinternal pressure is applied, the pipe expands circumferentially and at the sametime contracts longitudinally. This tensile force is important because it acts toreduce the hydrostatic thrust on anchors at turns.

For the designer of a restrained Bondstrand pipeline, however, the problem can begreatly simplified. Table 4 provides the recommended design thrusts and locationsfor anchors at various fittings.

Span recommendations

Recommended maximum spans for Bondstrand pipe at various operating tempera-tures are given in Table 15. These spans are intended for normal horizontal pipingarrangements, i.e., those which have no fittings, valves, vertical runs, etc., but whichmay include flanges and non-uniform support spacings. The tabular values repre-sent a compromise between continuous and simple spans. When installed at thesupport spacings indicated in Table 15, the weight of the pipe full of water willproduce a long-time deflection of about 1⁄2 inch, which is usually acceptable forappearance and adequate drainage.

Fully continuous spans may be used with support spacings up to 20 percent greaterthan those shown in Table 15; in simple spans, support spacings should be 20percent less than those shown in Table 15.

For this purpose, continuous spans are defined as interior spans (not end spans),which are uniform in length and free from structural rotation at supports. Simplespans are supported only at the ends and are hinged or free to rotate at thesupports. Special conditions described below are not covered.

The pipe is assumed to be free to move axially. Suspended piping, which isrestrained or anchored against longitudinal movement, represents a special caseand guides may be required as discussed under the previous section, Use of Guidesfor Alignment .

Support spacings for special conditions

Piping designers may calculate deflections or determine support spacings for theirown particular geometry and loadings using the effective beam stiffness factorsgiven in Appendix C. In such an analysis, the effects of non-uniform spacing, turnsand branches, vertical or inclined runs, special joints which may act as a hinge,heavy liquids, external loads such as insulation, thrust in restrained lines anddynamic loads may be considered, often using a computer program.

Loads on hangers and supports

Table 16 gives maximum service loads for horizontal piping on hangers andsupports. Do not exceed the total support or hanger load given in the table forsustained operation.

Support locations

Supports that permit pipe movement are usually under pipe, not under fittings. Besure that pipe movement is not obstructed either axially or laterally by a flange orfitting near the support. In general, supports may be located at convenient nearbystructures, just as for steel pipe, provided the support spacings indicated in Table15 are not exceeded.

Anchors on pipe are indicated in Table 4 for restrained piping. Except at flangedconnections, above-ground anchors are usually found on pipe rather than fittings.Anchors in lines free to move should be located where necessary to control move-ment into loops or turns. See Figures 7 through 10 for typical anchor details.

Supports for vertical runs

Install a single support anywhere along the length of a vertical pipe run more thanabout ten feet long. See Figure 10 for suggested details. If the run is supported nearits base, use loose collars as guides as shown in Figure 10b, spaced as recom-mended in Table 17.

Vertical runs lessthan ten feet long may usually be supported as part of the horizontal piping. Ineither case be sure the layout makes sufficient provision for horizontal and verticalmovement at the top and bottom turns.

Accommodate length changes in vertical pipe runs by allowing free movement offittings at either top, bottom or both. For each 1/8 inch of anticipated vertical lengthchange, provide 2 feet of horizontal pipe between the elbow and the first support,but not less than 6 feet nor more than 20 feet of horizontal pipe.

Treat columns more than 100 feet high (either hanging or standing) as specialdesigns. Support and provision for length change are important. The installer shouldbe especially careful to avoid movement due to wind or support vibration whilejoints are curing.

Equipment vibration

Bondstrand pipe will safely absorb vibration from pumping or other conditions if (1 )stresses are controlled within reasonable limits, and (2) pipe is protected fromexternal abrasion by saddles or sleeves where it contacts supports and otherobjects. In general, pipeline vibration is severe only when the generating frequencyis at, or near, the natural resonance frequency of the pipeline. This frequency is afunction of the support system, layout geometry, temperature, mass, and pipe stiff-ness, and is often difficult to predict.

There are two principal ways to control stress caused by vibration. You can usuallyobserve the stability of the system during initial operation and add restraints orsupports as required to reduce effects of equipment vibration. Where necessary,guides illustrated in Figure 6 will effectively hold pipe from lifting or moving laterally.

In special cases where source vibration is excessive (such as that resulting frompumps running unbalanced), an elastomeric expansion joint or other vibrationabsorber should be considered. If an expansion joint is considered, refer toEXPANSION JOINTS.

Connections to tanks

The wall flexure of a tank as it is filled and emptied produces movements at nozzleswhich must be accommodated in the design. These movements can be absorbedby a loop or turn, or by an expansion joint. Avoid direct, straight-line connectionsbetween tanks.

6 Connections toequipment

Connections to other piping

Where possible, connect Bondstrand to either metallic or thermoplastic piping usingflanges drilled to the 150 psi standards of ANSI B16.5. Bondstrand filament-woundepoxy flanges and Bondstrand heavy-duty molded flanges may be bolted directlyagainst raised-face steel flanges These flanges also seal well against lined steelconfigurations. All flanges, including Bondstrand standard molded flanges, epoxyand vinyl ester, provide sealing against flat-faced flanges. Use a full-faced 1/8-inchthick elastomer with a Shore A hardness of 60 ±5 for best results .

Flanged valves and other equipment are frequently supplied with different flangefacings. The configuration of these facings may vary widely. Unless it has beendemonstrated that these facings are compatible with the face of Bondstrandflanges, consult Ameron Fiberglass Pipe Group Engineering Department.

Where Bondstrand is connected to metallic pipe, securely anchor the metallic pipeat the point of connection so that expansion and contraction or weight of the metalline is not transferred to the Bondstrand line.

Small-diameter metallic connections

Outlets for instrumentation are best made using orifice flanges with 1⁄2-inch orifices.Threaded reducer bushings mounted in saddles, blind flanges and fittings plugsoffer connections up to 11⁄2-inches in diameter for a wide range of applications. Themost commonly used metal bushing material is Type 316 stainless steel, butAmeron can furnish other materials on special order.

Gravity flow connections

There are different ways to make gravity-flow connections to floor drains, cast ironpipe, etc. For example, a four-inch by six-inch tapered body reducer will enlarge thereceiving end of a Bondstrand four-inch pipe and serve as a packing chamber forthe cast iron end of a floor drain or other fitting.

Conversely, Bondstrand pipe can be packed and sealed into a cast iron bell. In anycase, avoid packing materials which must be applied at temperatures above 200°F.Mechanical couplings are available through other manufacturers to connectBondstrand to clay, concrete, cast iron or other non-metallic pipe.

High-velocity flow of fluids having low electrical conductivity, such as petroleumdistillates, can generate significant amounts of static electricity. In buried pipe thesecharges are slowly dissipated. Be sure to ground projections or metal appurte-nances, especially near discharge nozzles, filters, valves and other areas of highturbulence. Use saddles instead of elastomeric pads at supports to obtain bettergrounding.

Bondstrand Series 7000 pipe includes electrically conductive elements in the pipewall which, when properly grounded, prevent accumulation on the exterior of thepipe of dangerous levels of static electricity produced by the flow of fluids inside thepipe.

Entrapped gases

As in all piping systems, high points in the system will trap air or other gases.Trapped gases may create a hazard during test and operation of the system, andmay restrict flow or drainage. It is recommended that air release valves be used athigh points to permit bleeding out trapped air or other gases. See SMALL-DIAMETER

METALLIC CONNECTIONS for suggested method of mounting.

Steam condensate

Good drainage helps avoid water hammer in steam condensate lines. For furtherinformation, see our Bondstrand Guide for Steam Condensate, FP468, availablefrom your local distributor.

Heat tracing

Heat tracing may be needed to prevent freezing in cold weather or to maintain flowof viscous fluids at ambient temperature.

Wrap heat tracing helically to avoid the pipe deflection caused by heating one sideof the pipe. Heat tracing should be directly on the pipe and within the insulation. Donot exceed maximum trace temperatures of 250°F for epoxy products or 200°F forvinyl ester products, and use the maximum trace temperature for the design of thepiping system.

Coating Bondstrand

Exposure to direct sunlight will eventually degrade the surface of Bondstrandpiping. Although no failures are known to have resulted from this superficial degra-dation, it does cause a dull, grey appearance which many users wish to avoid.

Ameron products are available to prevent or arrest this effect, or for color coding.Based on studies at the factory, a five-mil single coat of Ameron Amershield® singlecoat polyurethane protective coating will provide suitable protection for either epoxyor vinyl ester pipe and fittings.

Adhesion of the coating is improved by delaying the application until the pipesurface has begun to weather. Pipe must be thoroughly cleaned before applying thecoating.

For further information on chemical resistance, coverage rates, equipment andapplication procedures for coatings, contact Ameron's Protective Coatings Division.

Electrical properties

Bondstrand pipe offers high resistance to stray electrical currents, a common causeof corrosion around valves and pumps. Table 18 gives the results of tests onBondstrand pipe in a clean, as manufactured, condition at room temperature.Obviously, electrical properties, especially surface resistivity, are greatly affected bycontamination and atmospheric conditions .

Clamping forces

Support styles that clamp the pipe, are generally not recommended to ensure thatclamping forces do not crush the pipe. Local crushing could result from a poor fit,and all-around crushing could result from over-tightening .

Where the pipe must be held tightly at the support, mount a pair of 180° supportsaddles between clamp and pipe for the ultimate in strength and long life. In somecases with Bondstrand 2000 or 4000, a 1⁄4-inch thick elastomeric pad (Shore Adurometer hardness 60 ± 5) placed between clamp and pipe is a suitable alternative.

Space between pipe

In multiple runs, allow clearance for flanges and other fittings having a diametergreater than the pipe. Table 20 shows the outside radius of standard Bondstrandproducts. Add space between pipe runs to accommodate length changes at loopsand turns. Insulate as necessary to avoid direct exposure to hot pipe or other heat sources.

8 Detailing thesupports

The following paragraphs describe and illustrate the different methods and devicesused to support Bondstrand pipe and fittings in a suspended system.

Because outside diameters of Bondstrand pipe are the same as those for iron pipesize (IPS) standards, standard pipe supports and hangers often may be used forBondstrand piping systems. Occasionally, larger supports as given in Table 19 arerequired to fit over elastomeric pads or saddles, especially at anchors.

Supports permitting pipe movement

Supports allowing pipe to move with relative freedom include:

• hangers which are free to move laterally or longitudinally with the pipe,

• fixed supports over which pipe must slide, allowing longitudinal movementand often lateral movement, and

• guides which permit longitudinal movement of the pipe but restrain lateralmovement.

Hangers are free to move on their hanger rods and allow considerable longitudinaland lateral movement. Hanger types include band, ring or clevis type (Figure 3), orroller types (Figure 4) with the roller either suspended freely or held rigidly in a frame.

Fixed supports permit the pipe to move longitudinally and, in some cases, laterally.An ordinary pipe rack made of steel angle is a typical fixed support permitting bothlongitudinal and lateral movement. Figure 5 shows some typical types of fixedsupport. Pipe resting in fixed supports requires protection from external abrasion, asdescribed below.

G u i d e s (Figure 6) restrict translational movement but may permit longitudinal androtational movement. Guides are recommended for lines which are subject to side-loads or uplift. Examples include lines subjected to pressure surges, lines emptiedand filled during operation, and lines (especially when empty) which can be lifted ormoved by wind or other external loadings. Use guides on vertical runs (see Table 17).

Though no significant longitudinal movement is involved, guides are normallyrequired for restrained systems at spacings given in Table 5 through 14. An inex-pensive guide for most applications is a light-duty U-bolt, double-nutted to restricthorizontal and vertical movement but which permits free longitudinal movement.

Abrasion protection must be provided to protect the pipe where it slides through afixed support or guide. Choose a material compatible with the service environmentand budget. Some recommended protective methods include:

• Bondstrand saddles, which provide a clean, corrosion-free surface acting as a stiffening saddle for the pipe. Saddles are bonded to the pipe. In eight-inch pipe and larger, light-duty abrasion protection can be provided bybonding a half section of the same pipe to the line pipe.

• elastomeric material such as rubber or neoprene. This material may beeither bonded in place or held by the clamping force of the support device.

• galvanized sheet metal, bonded or banded to the pipe, where the environ-ment is not too corrosive. Recommended minimum metal gauge is:

2- through 6-in. pipe: 16 gauge (0.0598)

8- through 16-in. pipe: 10 gauge (0.1345)

Abrasion protection must be firmly bonded or banded to the pipe wherever move-ment is possible between the pipe and the support.

Supports that anchor pipe

Pipe in a straight run is usually anchored by clamps or split rings. Light anchorsintended only to hold pipe in position between loops or turns in a free system maybe fixed supports, as shown in Figure 7.

Supports required to resist length changes in restrained systems generally requirethe use of saddles. Saddles are recommended where pipe is to be held by ringclamps (Figure 8). Bonded saddles also may be used as a shear key along with aloose anchoring ring.

Valves and pumps in Bondstrand lines must be supported independently. Figure 9shows how supports may be bolted to a flange to support weight, to resist thrustand torque, and to provide electrical grounding.

Vertical pipe runs are usually anchored using bonded saddles or flanges resting ona suitably reinforced and mounted guide or riser clamp (Figure 10).

Installation of Buried Bondstrand Pipe

Introduction To ensure long life and trouble-free service from a Bondstrand piping system, theprinciples of excavation, joint make-up, bedding, backfilling and field testing must beproperly applied. These principles must be reflected in the phrasing of contractdocuments and must be enforced through inspection. Be sure that contractorpersonnel have been thoroughly trained in Bondstrand assembly procedures by acertified Ameron field representative.

These recommendations for installing buried Bondstrand pipe are based on twoprinciples:

• Follow Ameron's recommendations for assembling pipe sections and curing thejoints carefully.

• Provide evenly distributed support for each section of pipe rather than concentratingthe support at points or short stretches of the pipe bottom. Evenly distributedsupport is achieved through proper bedding.

Bondstrand pipe is manufactured from fiberglass reinforced epoxy or vinyl ester resins.When properly handled and installed, fiberglass pipe and fittings will provide amaintenance-free, high-performance piping system. Fiberglass reinforced pipe andfittings are impact sensitive and must be handled with a reasonable amount of care.Refer to the Ameron publication SHIPPING, HANDLING, STORAGE AND INSPECTION OF

BONDSTRAND FIBERGLASS PIPE, FP167 for pertinent guidelines and a table of pipe weights.

2 Trench design andexcavation

1) The excavation must allow the pipe to be laid to the grades and alignments shownon the plans.

2) Provide the narrowest practical trench width that will allow proper compaction of thepipe zone backfill. The trench must have vertical sidewalls from the foundation to atleast the top of the pipe. Maintain a minimum trench width equal to the inside diameterof the pipe plus 12 inches (300 mm). The maximum trench width from the foundation tothe top of the pipe must not exceed the inside diameter of the pipe plus 24 inches (600 mm).

3) Beneath vehicular traffic, the height of earth cover over the top of the installedpipe must be no less than 3 feet (.91 m) unless suitable methods are used toprotect the pipe. See ROADWAY CROSSINGS below.

4) Provide firm, but not hard foundations consisting of sound earth1 or granularsoil2, and free from stones or lumps exceeding one inch (25 mm) in greatestdimension that might bear against the pipe. Prepare suitable foundations byoverexcavating the trench for not less than 4 inches (100 mm) and backfilling

CERTIFICATED FIRM

4 Placing pipe in trench 1) Cure the joints fully before lowering the pipe into the trench. Any vibration ormovement of partially cured joints will increase the risk of joint failure.

2) When the joints have cured, raise the pipe slightly to remove the timber supports,using rope or webbed sling to lift the pipe. Do not use chains. Lower the pipe into thetrench gradually. Do not drop the pipe. When working manually, use at least two menfor 6-inch (150 mm) pipe and four men for 8 and 10-inch (200 and 250 mm) pipe. Installlarger pipe with lifting equipment. Do not lift pipe over 10 inches (250 mm) in diameter or30 feet (9 m) in length at a single point: use a spreader bar.

Fig.2. Pipe zone backfill should consist ofsound earth or granular material free of

stones or lumps exceeding 1 inch ( 25 mm)in diameter. The material should not contain

vegetation or debris that could leave voidsupon decomposition. Granular materials

such as sand, gravel or crushed rock yieldhigh densities with a minimum of

compaction effort and have proven ideal forthe pipe zone backfill. Granular materials

should pass a 3⁄8-inch screen and no morethan 15% should pass a No. 200 sieve.

2 inches (50 mm) to subgrade with loose bank run material, graded uniformly inone plane for the full length of the pipe. Overexcavate at each bell so that the pipebarrel rests on the bottom of the trench. Foundations must provide uniformsupport under the haunches of the pipe along the full length of each pipe section.

5) When the excavation is in softor wet, unstable soils that will notprovide sufficient support for thepipe, overexcavated the trench atleast 6 inches (150 mm) andbackfill to 2 inches (50 mm) belowsubgrade with solid granular soilcompacted to at least 85-95%Proctor (40-70% relative density).Then complete the subgrade asdescribed in section 5. Themethod described in NFPA No. 24section 8-4.3 under “Exception” isnot acceptable for fiberglass pipe.

6) When solid rock, hardpan orother hard foundation isencountered during excavation, overexcavate the trench at least 6 inches (150 mm)and backfill to 2 inches (50 mm) below subgrade with solid granular soilcompacted to at least 85-95% Proctor (40-70% relative density). Then completethe subgrade as described in section 5.

1) Curvature may be vertical, horizontal, or a combination. Restraints, if required foralignment control, shall each bear along at least 4 inches (100 mm) of pipe surface.

3 Assembling pipe andfittings

1) Prepare and assemble Bondstrand Quick-Lock joints in accordance with the recom-mendations contained in Ameron publication, FP170. For taper/taper joints to 6 inches(150 mm), consult Ameron publication FP104.

2) Position pipe on 4 x 4 timbers across the trench. Block pipe to hold alignment andprevent lateral movement during cure. For larger diameters, use of come-alongs forjoint assembly.

Where live loads are less than the conventional H20-S16 loading, the burial depthmeasured from the top of pipe should be at least 3 feet (.91 m) for all diameters. At roadcrossings where the loading exceeds H20-S16, bury the pipe deeper or use casingpipe and collars or sleeves to protect the pipe. Ameron will make recommendations onincreased depth of burial upon request provided complete loading and soil conditionsare submitted for an engineering analysis.

5 Bedding and backfill 1) Grade the trench bottom accurately and bed with sand to provide uniform bearingand support along the entire length of each pipe section. Provide a shallow depressionfor bells and couplings. The grade should not exhibit abrupt changes in direction orslope except at fittings.

2) Do not cover pipe joints until all pressure tests have been performed.

3) Compact the backfill uniformly around the pipe giving particular care to the beddingbeneath the haunches of the pipe. Compaction may be done with water if the native soilis free draining. If the native soil is not free draining, bedding with damp sand willfacilitate compaction. Extend backfill at least 6 inches (150 mm) above the pipe.

4) Place backfill in 6-inch (150 mm) maximum lifts to a point at least 2 feet (.6 m) abovethe top of the pipe. Do not use mechanical compactors directly over the pipe until atleast 12 inches (300 mm) of fill have been placed over the pipe, or at least 24 inches (600 mm) if heavy compaction equipment is used. Compact each lift to 85% ofmaximum density as determined in accordance with ASTM D1557 for cohesive soils, orto 70% relative density in accordance with ASTM D2049 for cohesionless soils whichfail to produce a well-defined, moisture-density relationship when tested in accordancewith ASTM D1557. Avoid damage to pipe wall during compaction. Place the remainingbackfill as directed by the engineer. Make in-place tests of soil density in accordancewith ASTM D1556 or ASTM D2167. Contact Ameron Applications Engineering forspecific information on ASTM specifications.

6 Roadway crossings

Fill the pipeline with water or useother appropriate means to prevent

buried pipe from floating duringcompaction with water in

cohesionless soils.

Mechanical compactors may be used provided harmful shock loads are nottransmitted to the pipe. Maintain at least 12 inches (300 mm) between tamping feet

and pipe wall to avoid damage to the pipe.

3) Should the depth of the trench measured from the top of the supports upon whichthe pipe is assembled to the trench bottom exceed 5 feet (1.5 m), do not lower the pipeby the method outlined in section 4 as it may overstress the pipe. It is the customer'sresponsibility to submit specific laying conditions (trench depth, handling equipment,pipe diameter, etc.) to Ameron for recommendations for trench depths in excess of5 feet (1.5 m).

4) Pipe may be installed in curved trenches provided the curvature is uniform and doesnot exceed the tabulated values.

4 Placing pipe in trench

7 Hydrostatic thrust 1) It is the responsibility of the engineer to evaluate the need for thrust blocks. Acomplete evaluation must consider singly and in combination the effects oftemperature changes, internal pressure surges and pipeline geometry.

2) Temperature changes produce stress in buried pipe that is restrained by (1) frictionof the surrounding bedding, (2) passive soil pressure at fittings, or (3) thrust blocks.Forces developed at fittings in fully restrained pipe are tabulated in Section 8 below.

3) Hydrostatic thrust at fittings is a function of the degree of restraint of the adjacentpipe. The magnitude of the hydrostatic thrust experienced by a Bondstrand pipingsystem is also a function of the method of construction of the pipe: different valuesmust be used for systems employing reciprocally wound pipe (Series 2000, 2400,3400, 4000, 5000, 5100 and 7000) and pipe made by the continuous winding process(Series 3000, 3000A, 3200, 3300 and adhesive-bonded oilfield line pipe such asBondstrand 200, 300, etc). In a fully restrained reciprocally wound Bondstrandfiberglass pipe (i.e., blocked against movement at both ends) with all joints bonded, thePoisson effect produces considerable tension in the pipe wall: as the internal pressureincreases, the pipe expands circumferentially and at the same time tries to contractlongitudinally. The resulting tensile force in the pipe wall acts to reduce the axialhydrostatic thrust on the fitting by about 50% compared to the thrust experienced in asystem using continuously wound Bondstrand pipe.

The thrust forces acting on a bend are defined as follows:

T = 2PA sin θ2 whereT = Thrust at fitting (lbf)P = Hydrostatic pressure (psi)A = Flow area of pipe (in2)θ = Angle of bend (deg)

Use this formula for determining thrust in systems employing Series 3000 and relatedcontinuously-wound products. To determine hydrostatic thrust in pipe usingSeries 2000 and related reciprocally-wound piping, use one half the value given by theabove formula. Hydrostatic thrusts at fittings in fully restrained systems at 100 psi (7 bar) are tabulated in Appendix A. Thrusts at other pressure may be determined by ratio.

4) Valves should normally be blocked as indicated in section 9.8 (fig. 9.2) to supporttheir own weight, resist thrust and to prevent excessive torque loads on the pipeconnections.

5) Thrust blocks are required at hydrants and at 6-inch (150 mm) or larger diameter tees andelbows for firewater mains regulated by Factory Mutual Research Corporation.

8 Thrust due to thermalexpansion

Thrust forces arising from thermal expansion of the pipe wall in Series 2000 and relatedproducts are tabulated below. The effects of thermal expansion will generally be less insystems employing Series 3000 and related piping since the pipe wall thickness ofthese latter systems is less than for Series 2000 products.

9 Thrust block designand construction

1) Once the anticipated thrusts have been determined, thrust block design mustconsider soil strength, soil stability and location of the water table. Blocks must (a) haveadequate bearing area to resist the soil thrust, (b) bear against undisturbed soil and(c) be so designed that the resultant thrust vector passes perpendicularly through thecenter of the bearing surface (except for valves as in section 9.8). Should the soil beunstable or the installation below the water table, the engineer must make provisions toensure stability such as driving piles to anchor to deeper layers of soil. Note that anyconnecting metallic pipe must be anchored at the point of connection to the fiberglasspipe to prevent transfer of excessive stress.

2) Safe bearing pressures for common soil type are tabulated below.

3) The required bearing area is computed using the formula:

TAb = — wherePp

Ab = Bearing area of thrust block (ft2)T = Thrust (lbf)Pp = Allowable soil bearing pressure (lbf /ft2)

9 Thrust block designand construction

4) Thrust blocks for Bondstrand pipe systems should be poured after hydrostatictesting to allow for clear visual inspection of all fitting joints during the test. To retainpipe in proper alignment while testing, placement of sand bedding and backfill persection 5 may be required. Joints should be left exposed for observation during testing.

5) Thrust blocks should beshaped with the “designedbearing area” against nativesoil of the trench wall. Smallerblocks using a dry mix may beshaped by hand but largerblocks (2 ft2 or greater) requireformwork.

6) Unless otherwise specifiedby the engineer, use aconcrete mix consisting of1 part Portland cement,2 parts washed sand and3 parts washed gravel withenough water for a relatively adry mix. A dry mix is stronger and is easier to shape.

7) Work the concrete thoroughly around the fittings to maximize surface contact. Theentire area between the fittings and the freshly cut trench wall must be filled withconcrete and be void free. Maintain at least a 2-inch (50 mm) space between concretevibrators and pipe or fittings as even indirect contact through the concrete aggregatemay produce excessive impact loads on the fiberglass pipe.

8) Valve blocks should incorporate the steel necessary to support the weight of thevalve and resist any torque loads caused by opening and closing the valve.

9) Thrust blocks should encapsulate crossovers with at least six inches (150 mm) ofconcrete between fittings and native soil.

Fig. 9-2. Valves must be independentlysupported to prevent transfer of torque loads

to the fiberglass piping.

1) When making penetrations through concrete walls, run Bondstrand pipe throughmetal pipe sleeves at least two sizes larger in diameter than the pipe. Caulk the spacebetween the sleeve and the pipe with a waterproof compound that dries to a firm butpliable mass.

2) Assemble flanged connections in accordance with the recommendations inASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR

BONDSTRAND FIBERGLASS FLANGES,FP196.

3) When connecting fiberglasspiping to metallic piping,anchor the metallic line to avoidstress transfer to the fiberglass.

4) Support valves indepen-dently of fiberglass piping.

Bondstrand® Installation Guide

FP468B (7/00)

Guide for Steam Condensateand Hot Water Service

This guide provides specific information about the material requirements, designcriteria, assembly and testing methods recommended to assure a successful steamcondensate return line or a hot water line such as for district heating or geothermalapplications using Bondstrand pipe and fittings.

Bondstrand Series 2000 pipe and fittings are suitable for steam condensate returnservice.1,2 Joined using Bondstrand RP-34 or PSX™•34, this piping carries hot water safelyat temperatures up to 250°F (121°C) when the system is properly designed and installed.

The BONDSTRAND FITTINGS AND ENGINEERING GUIDE3 provides details on parts certified inaccordance with Military Specification MIL-P-28584,4 an RTRP specification writtenespecially for steam condensate return service. Certificates are available on request.5

Another military specification offers guidance on design and installation.6

In choosing parts for your system, Ameron suggests that you consider also thefollowing:

1. Heavy-duty, filament-wound flanges are recommended in 2-, 3-, and 4-inch (50,80, and 100 mm) diameter, particularly when systems are blocked or buried. Inlarger diameters, standard filament-wound flanges provide the necessarystrength for this service.

2. As an exception to the use of filament-wound products, molded blind flangesare suitable for steam condensate service and are found on the approved list.6

3. For reductions in pipe diameter, Bondstrand filament-wound tapered bodyreducers are recommended over molded reducer bushings.

4. Tees are recommended for branching. Saddles for branching to eitherBondstrand or steel lines are not recommended for steam condensate. Ofcourse, saddles are excellent for supports and for in-line anchor details.7

5. Gaskets for both Bondstrand-to-Bondstrand and Bondstrand-to-steel flangedconnections should be 1/8-inch (3 mm) thick full-faced gaskets using a suitableelastomer such as ethylene propylene rubber with a Shore A hardness of 60±5.

6. Connections to metal condensate piping are always made using flanges. Metalpipe should be blocked at points of connection to Bondstrand pipe to preventmetal pipe loads from being transferred to the Bondstrand pipe. This applies todrip leg connections as well as condensate lines.

7. Metal piping within manholes may facilitate positive anchoring and provideimproved resistance to vibration, torque loads on valves and physical abuse.

8. Bondstrand maintenance couplings are recommended for repair of damagedlines where the ends cannot be separated enough to make a bell and spigotjoint. (See Field Repairs.)

General

Material


Bondstrand piping performs best in systems designed to carry condensate only in theliquid phase. In these systems, a vented receiver tank or “hot well” collects thecondensate from the steam traps. From the tank, Bondstrand piping returns thecondensate to the boiler by gravity flow if elevations permit or by a pump arrangementas in Figure 1. These systems are free of steam-induced water hammer and have beenshown to perform for up to 20 years without evidence of significant deterioration.

Discharge Connection

Where hot wells are not feasible, other means of dissipating the energy in the dripdischarge must be used. Except where possible to design steam transmission lineswithout steam traps,8 it will be necessary to remove the condensate from the steam lineat drip legs between the boiler and the equipment. Here complete protection against livesteam exposure may not be possible, but must be kept to a minimum. Steam flashingwithin the lines tends to degrade the pipe liner over a period of time, particularly when thisflashing also produces water hammer.

Water hammer occurs in lines filled or partially filled with condensate. When a hightemperature (>212°F or 100°C) condensate discharge from a trap is released into theselines, a portion of it flashes to steam. At the instant of release the pressure is nearly that inthe steam line. The flash steam immediately formed at the new lower pressure expandsgreatly, even explosively, and a high-velocity pressure wave moves through the line.

In an empty condensate line, the positive pressure wave would move rapidly through theline, and then, on cooling , collapse back to its original water volume, producing a similarnegative pressure wave. With the line full or partially full of condensate, the high-velocitysteam pressure wave may become a slug of water which is then slammed through thepipe in a manner destructive to both pipe and equipment. As the steam rapidly cools andrecondenses, a reverse wave can develop.

The following steam properties outline the extent of this expansion and contraction. Oneounce (28 grams) of steam occupying over 2900 cubic inches at 212°F (47,500 cc at 100°C)and atmospheric pressure will occupy only 1.8 cubic inches (30 cc) after condensing. Theflash steam formed on discharge to atmospheric pressure of condensate at 25 psi (1.7 bar)is 5.7 percent by weight, and at 50 psi (3.4 bar) it is 9.0 percent.

Where some exposure to flash steam is unavoidable, special precautions can be taken toalleviate the problem (see below). Remember, these precautions for systems with someexposure to live steam are not necessary for systems fully protected against live steam-that is, where the condensate temperature is below the boiling point and there are no dripleg connections.

1. Take care to assure a uniform grade line in the condensate lines. A gradient ofnot less than one inch drop in 40 feet (2 mm per m) in the direction of flow isrecommended for both buried and suspended systems. Be aware that water-filled low points in the line, particularly those near steam traps, can greatlyaggravate water hammer problems.

2. Select suitable traps and develop a program of regular maintenance. Features oftrap design to consider should include:

• minimizing the amount of condensate dumped per trap operation,

• mode of failure, open or closed, and,

• selection of the minimum workable size.

Avoid the temptation to install bypasses; While maintaining traps, valve off the drip line.

3. Provide a dissipator at the steam trap from drip leg connections as shown inFigure-2. Developed by Mr. Bill Stevenson, an engineer with the GeneralServices Administration, these widely used devices serve to absorb the initialshock of the steam flash as well as to quickly dissipate some of the heat energy.They are used in steel as well as RTRP condensate lines.

4. Do not undersize the return piping. Larger sizes dramatically reduce the velocityof the surge wave within the pipe and its potential for damage.

Where a corrosion inhibitor is required to prevent attack on steel components of thepiping system, morpholine is recommended. Other amine additives such as cyclo-hexylamine, may cause degradation of the pipe liner if used in concentrations in excessof 1000 parts per million.

Buried condensate and hot water systems operate at temperatures that normallyrequire anchor blocks at valves, turns and branches. The temperature-induced stressin the blocked Bondstrand pipe will be absorbed in the pipe.9,10 For lines beddeddirectly in soil, the designer should not expect that expansion will be absorbed asmovement at turns, by expansion loops or by expansion joints.

At lower temperatures (<180°F or 82°C) for short runs (<10 ft. or 3 m) from anchor tofitting, and in poor soils (<1000 psf or 48 kN/m2), anchor blocks may not be required.However, these are special cases and should be carefully analyzed before the decisionis made to install the lines without anchor blocks.11

In certain locations it may be necessary to place equipment such as pumps, valves orsteam dissipation chambers in restrained lines. Equipment replacement or repair, orflange gasket replacement, will then be necessary from time to time. On heat-up,normal thermal expansion produces a compressive longitudinal load in the restrainedBondstrand pipe. Over a period of time this causes a shortening of the pipe such that,unless the flanges are anchored, flanged joints often separate an inch or more whencooled down and disassembled. This makes reassembly potentially difficult.

Reassembly will be much easier if the Bondstrand inlet and outlet lines are suitablyanchored at manhole and building wall penetrations. This can be done using an in-lineanchor block outside the wall as shown in Figure 3 or a steel anchor inside the wall asshown in Figure 4. Good soil compaction under the lines around the manholes isnecessary so that excessive settlements cannot damage the pipe.

In some locations the stability of the soil under the pipe at penetrations cannot beassured. Soil movements can produce excessive shearing loads on the pipe at theinterface to the fixed penetration. Here the anchor should be moved three to five feetfrom the penetration and the penetration itself sleeved and sealed around the pipe.12

As an alternative to sealing between the pipe and sleeve with a “firm but pliable mass, “ aLink-Seal* provides an elastomeric seal by means of a preformed modular unit which isbolted into place. These units may also be used to seal pipeline casings at road crossings.

The detail of Figure 3 must not be used to resist the expansion and thrust of restrainedsteel lines. Connecting steel lines should be both anchored and supported to avoidtransferring excessive loads to the Bondstrand pipe.

Refer to Ameron literature11, 12, 13 for helpful information on the design and placement ofanchor blocks at buried fittings. The properties of Bondstrand pipe at elevatedtemperatures are such that thrust blocks must be designed to resist both tensile andcompressive loads.

Repairs of leaking pipe, whatever the cause, should be made by removing the faulty sectionor a short length containing the fault, not by overwrapping the fault with any type of patch orother material. If a joint is damaged during the laying operation, it should be cut off and acoupling bonded to the cut-off end and laid in the line as a normal pipe.

If the damage occurs to an installed pipe which is blocked or otherwise restrained frommovement, the section to be repaired is cut out of the existing system and replaced byinserting a length of new pipe or a new fitting or assembly in place of the damaged part.The required buttend joint may be made using a Bondstrand maintenance coupling.

Field Repairs

Field Test Simple hydrostatic testing of installed Bondstrand pipe and fittings to 150 psi (10 bar) or to1.5 times working pressure for four hours is usually sufficient to assure proper performance.Testing of a buried system is best accomplished prior to placing backfill and blocking.

In every installation operating at an elevated temperature, maximum reliability is served byheating the system slowly the first time. A temperature rise of not more than 20°F (11°C) per halfhour generally will relax fabrication stresses and ensure optimum pipe and joint performance.

Suspended systems are generally designed using expansion loops rather than thrustblocks, in part because the required supports are more economical when the pipe isallowed to move freely.7 Anchors between the loops are required, of course, to controlthe position of the runs.

Some layouts are simply too restricted to permit the use of loops.Large diametercasings or tunnels are examples. The line may have to be blocked and guided to keep itfrom “snaking,” or expansion joints may be used.

Bondstrand pipe, fittings and flanges in condensate and hot water systems should beassembled in accordance with Bondstrand assembly instructions and heat blanketcure times should be 60 minutes for pipe joints and flange mountings, and 75 minutesfor joints or fittings.

Assembly

The information in this bulletin may be helpful in estimating construction costs whereBondstrand products will be used. The tables estimate man-hours for making variousBondstrand joints. The estimates are based on timed tests under ideal conditions: anexperienced person with all necessary materials at hand. Times do not include jigging,measuring, planning, and other activities normally associated with piping joint fabrication.Actual times may vary due to environmental conditions, skill and experience of the fabri-cator, and the equipment available. These times are based on the assumption that thecrew received limited training from an Ameron Certified Technician and they are familiarwith basic installation procedures as recommended in standard Ameron literature. Oncethe crew gains familiarity with the procedure, total time may be reduced as much as50%. The estimates are given using tools that are new or in perfect operating condition.The cutting blades are sharp and suitable for cutting glass fibers and resin materials.

Table 1 estimates installation of taper/taper adhesive joints and Pronto-Lock/Pronto-LockII mechanical joints. (Series 3000A, 3200 and 3300 Series)

Table 2 estimates installation of Quick-Lock adhesive bonded joints.(Series 2000, 2000M,2000M-FP, 4000, 5000, 7000 and PSX Series)

Table 3 estimates man-hours required for field fabrication of piping using both Quick-Lockand Key-Lock joints. Key-Lock joint assembly times are based on a single key joining of amale end of a pipe to a coupling already mounted on a pipe end fitting. For comparison,man-hours for fabricating welded joints in selected types of metallic piping are included.

Assemblers will be experienced after a few hours of training. This gives the contractor theoption to use less skilled (and less expensive) labor than certified welders. The assemblyof Bondstrand piping generally does not require heavy lifting equipment, reducing the set-up and assembly time and eliminating the need for skilled equipment operators.

The major reasons why rodents are not attracted to FRP are as follows:

1. When fully cured, the thermosetting epoxy and vinyl ester resins used in Ameronpipe and fittings are tasteless and odorless, thus offering no attraction for rodents.

2. The surface of fiberglass pipe and fittings is very hard and difficult to dent. There isno place for a rodent to begin gnawing.

The experience of Ameron and other pipe manufacturers bears out these statements.

Rodent and Bacteria Attack on fiberglass-reinforced piping systems

Product Notes

Rodents are attracted to thermoplastics for two reasons:

1. The plasticisers in some thermoplastics (especially PVC) taste and smell good tomany rodents. It has even been reported that “some thermoplastics have a nutritivevalue for rodents… [the thermoplastics are] good for them.”

2. Rodents need to chew and gnaw. Nature provides them with teeth that continuallygrow in length and which they need to pare down to a manageable size. Hence, they willgnaw at almost anything they can fracture with their jaws.

Rodents and thermoplastics

Attacks by rodents on the protective coatings on metallic piping, electrical insulation andthermoplastic piping occur with some frequency and are well documented. Theseincidents, all involving conventional thermoplastics, naturally give rise to questions aboutthe performance of fiberglass piping under the same conditions. In the case of rodentattack, fiberglass-reinforced piping can be exposed to rodents without any detrimentaleffects whatever.

FP466B (8/96)


The components of fiberglass piping systems do not provide an environment whichsupports bacterial growth. The material by itself will not induce such growth nor wouldit be affected by it. Ameron fiberglass pipe has been installed in diverse climactic andsoil conditions both below and above ground for many years. It has been exposed to abroad spectrum of the world’s known bacterial strains without a documented case ofbacterial attack.

Weathering & UV Resistance ofFiberglass Piping Systems

General All thermosetting and thermoplastic materials are susceptible to ultraviolet (UV)degradation upon prolonged exposure to sunlight. The degree of UV degradationvaries depending on the chemical composition of the materials, however, thebreakdown is primarily a surface phenomenon. The rate at which degradation mayoccur varies based on the availability of air, water, oxygen and other oxidizing agents.

Numerous antioxidants and UV absorbers can be added to materials of high resincontent to retard UV degradation. Currently, no means exist to totally eliminate thisphenomenon.

The major concern regarding UV attack on fiberglass pipe is the loss of physical strengththrough degradation of the resin-glass bond. Since UV degradation is a surfacephenomenon, the most efficient means of prolonging the integrity of the reinforcement isto place a resin-rich protective layer between the structural fiberglass and the outersurface. The thicker the surface coating, the better the weathering characteristics. Theuse of pigments, dyes or fillers in the resin system will also improve weathering charac-teristics by helping to screen out the ultraviolet light.

Ameron employs a combination of techniques to protect the fiberglass bond fromUV attack. All fiberglass pipe produced by Ameron is manufactured on rotating mandrels.This continuous motion results in a uniform resin-rich coating on the pipe exterior whichenhances its weather resistance. Pigments or dyes are incorporated into the resin systemto act as a further barrier to UV penetration into the laminate. Certain piping products mayalso be overwrapped with an organic veil layer to provide even greater UV resistance.Even if dry fiberglass appears on the outer surface, independent testing has shown it tohave no measurable effect on performance. If aesthetics are important, fiberglass pipe canbe covered with a high-grade acrylic or epoxy based coating.

Safety RecommendationsRecommended practices to minimize exposureand effects of shavings from fiberglass pipe.

Engineering Controls • A fabrication area should be set up in which to perform as much of thefabrication work as is practical or possible.

• Local exhaust ventilation should be provided at areas of cutting and/ortapering to remove airborne dust and fibers. General dilution ventilationshould be provided as necessary to keep airborne dust and fibers belowthe applicable exposure limits and guidelines. The need for ventilationsystems should be evaluated by a professional industrial hygienist.

• Work area should be kept clean, including floor or other horizontal surfaces.Rinsing with water or sweeping with brushes or brooms (using floor sweep)is recommended. Never use compressed air to clean area or to removedust for personal cleaning. Brushes should be used to remove residue fromshaved surfaces.

Personal Protection • Always refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) prior to working withunfamiliar materials or if there are questions concerning the contents of thefiberglass pipe.

• OSHA regulates glasswool (fiberglass) under the Hazard CommunicationStandard and as a chemical hazard in laboratories. OSHA classifiesglasswool fiber as a “Particulate Not Otherwise Regulated,” with aworkplace permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 5.0 mg/m3 for respirable dustand 15.0 mg/m3 for total dust. These limits are identical to those OSHArequires for construction workers exposed to fibrous glass, which wereadopted from the 1970 Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) of the AmericanConference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH).

• Barrier creme should be applied to the skin in areas which may be exposedto shavings prior to beginning work.

• Clean clothes should be worn each day. Do not wear clothing that has notbeen laundered to begin a work shift. More frequent changing may berequired by conditions.



• Gloves with elastic cuffs should be worn at all times. Replace worn orcontaminated gloves as necessary. Gloves with flared, stiff cuffs act as agathering funnel for shavings.

CERTIFICATED FIRM

Essential safety wear includeseye protection, dust mask and

clean cotton gloves (right).









Personal Protection(cont’d)

• Wristbands and watches should be removed to prevent rubbing oraccumulation of particles on skin underneath the band.

• A respirator should be used if ventilation is unavailable, or is inadequate forkeeping dust and fiber levels below the applicable exposure limits. Toprotect against dust and fibers, use a NIOSH-certified disposable orreusable particulate respirator with an efficiency rating of N95 or higher (42CFR 84) when working with this product. For exposures up to five times theestablished exposure limits use a quarter-mask respirator, rated N95 orhigher; and for exposures up to ten times the established exposure limitsuse a half-mask respirator (e.g., MSA’s DM-11, Racal’s Delta N95, 3M’s8210), rated N95 or higher. Operations such as sawing, blowing, tear outand spraying may generate airborne fiber concentrations requiring a higherlevel of respiratory protection. For exposures up to 50 times theestablished exposure limits use a full-face respirator, rated N99 or higher.

•Special Consideration for Repair/Maintenance of Contaminated Equipment: Use personal protective equipment asdiscussed above. Where possible, vacuum equipment beforerepair/maintenance to remove excessive dust and loose fibers.

Personal Hygiene • Wash exposed skin with soap solution (liquid soap preferred) and coolwater.

• Use washcloth with “brushing” motion to remove dust or fibers. Do notscrub the skin. This could result in the fibers being imbedded into the skin.

• Rinse thoroughly with clean, cold water.

• Apply lotion or creme to skin (non-detergent formulas such as baby lotion)to soothe irritation or prevent further immediate irritation.
