The objective of ISO 14692 is to provide the oil &
gas industry and the supporting engineering and
manufacturing industry with mutually agreed
upon specifications and recommended
practices for the design, purchase,
manufacturing, qualification testing, handling,
storage, installation, commisioning and
operation of GRP (Glassfiber Reinforced Plastic -
a generic terms including epoxy and other
resins) piping systems.
ISO 14692, part 2, 3 and 4 follow the individual
phases in the life cycle of a GRP piping system,
i.e. from design through manufacture to
operation. Each part is therefore aimed at the
relevant parties involved in that particular phase.
ISO 14692 is primarily intended for offshore
applications on both fixed and floating topsides
facilities, but it may also be used as guidance
for the specification, manufacture, testing and
installation of GRE piping systems in other
similar applications found onshore, e.g.
produced water and firewater systems.
imo
In 1993, the International Maritime Organisation
(IMO) issued Resolution A.753(18) covering
acceptance criteria for plastic materials in
piping systems, appropriate design and
installation requirements and fire test
performance criteria for assuring ship safety.
Major certifying bodies (such as Lloyd’s
Registre, Bureau Veritas, Det Norske Veritas,
American Bureau of Shipping and United States
Coast Guard) have adopted and implemented
these Guidelines in their respective Rules and
Regulations for the Classification of Ships.
All Bondstrand pipe series that are used in the
marine/offshore industry are Type Approved by
these major certifying bodies.
Historically, offshore production platform,drilling rig and FPSO owners and operatorshave had to face the grim reality of continuously replacing most metal pipingbecause of severe corrosion. This has resulted in piping systems costing two orthree times the original investment sincesteel and metal pipe systems are verycostly to maintain.BondstrandGRE pipe systems are the cost-effective, maintenance-free and lightweight solution that provides corrosion-free and erosion-free operation during theservice life of the vessel.
the many advantages of bondstrand gre
pipe systems
Durable and corrosion resistant
Bondstrand GRE is highly resistant to corrosion caused by (salt) water, chemicals,residues and bacteria.Similarly, it resists corrosion even in aggressive environments. Cathodic protection is not required.
Lightweight – easy to install
Bondstrand GRE pipes weigh only a quarter to an eighth of steel pipes and areeasy to install without the need of heavy nstallation equipment, welding or protectivecoating. For installation of GRE piping systems no ‘hot’ work is required.
Low installation and operating costs
Installation costs of Bondstrand GRE pipesystems are less than that of carbon steel;total installed costs are comparable. Operating costs are reduced due to lessenergy needed to pump fluid through thesmooth internal bore.
wide range of pipe systems
NOV Fiber Glass Systems offers a completerange of pipe systems in a variety of diameters and pressure classes for manydifferent applications. Pipe systems areavailable in diameters up to 1000 mm (40inch), and standard lengths upto 12 m (40-feet).
no contamination
Bondstrand GRE does not rust or scale.This prevents plugging of nozzles, valvesand other components.

With manufacturing locations all over the world,
NOV Fiber Glass Systems has experienced teams
of engineers supporting the customer with support
design, engineering analysis, spool and isometric
drawings and installation procedures.
NOV Fiber Glass Systems Engineering Service
can include:
General engineering calculations such as
support span, thrust loads, joint strength,
collapse pressure and internal pressure ratings,
etc.
Design drawings, stress- and surge analyses
Pipe Spool drawings from piping isometrics
Pipe support detailing
Material take offs (MTO)
Supervision and/or survey of installation
Special product design for custom made parts
Expertise on international specification work
towards approval authorities
Field service
Training to certify installers.
Bondstrand GRE systems are assembled using
standard manufactured components. Spools can
be pre-fabricated at the yard, or can be supplied
from NOV Fiber Glass Systems spooling operation
or one of the network partners. The need for
adhesive bonded joining on board can be limited.
If pipe spacing is a constraint, NOV Fiber Glass
Systems can offer custom made spools to meet
specific dimensions. NOV Fiber Glass Systems
team of piping engineers and fabricators can
assist to ensure that custom-made spools are
designed and fabricated to meet the project
requirements.
Pre-fabricated spools will reduce the number of
field joints and provide greater reliability because
of the high quality joints and testing at the
NOV Fiber Glass Systems factory.
Installers, trained and certified by NOV Fiber Glass
Systems – according to IMO standards – can
handle the complete installation.
NOV Fiber Glass Systems’ scope of supply may
vary from material supply to complete ’turn-key’
projects.

Bondstrand fittings are tested to 1.5 times their
pressure rating before they leave the factory or
are used in spools. Small diameter fittings,
to 150 mm (6 inch) are air tested, when possible.
All others and the large diameter fittings are
hydrotested. NOV Fiber Glass Systems is the only
manufacturer to conduct unrestrained hydro-test
of fittings above 500 mm (20 inch) in diameter
using self-energizing test plugs. Unrestrained
testing is a more representative test as it
simulates the actual conditions to which the pipe
system is subjected in most Offshore
installations.
NOV Fiber Glass Systems has extensive testing
capabilities to meet special requirements.
Comprehensive qualification testing is done on
representative sizes before manufacturing.
Qualification test includes long-term hydrostatic
test in accordance with ASTM D-2992, medium
term survival test (1000-hour survival test) and
short time burst test in accordance with ASTM
D-1599. Mechanical and physical property tests
of Bondstrand pipe can also be conducted.
testing
Fire enDurance
epoxy pipe
Under IMO Rules, Bondstrand epoxy products can
be used for systems (normally water filled) without
additional passive fire protection. Fire
exposure will cause the outer surface of the pipe
to char, but the functionality of the piping remains.
additional fire protection
Depending on the level of fire endurance required,
epoxy pipe with enhanced fire resistance
properties can be supplied.
phenolic pipe
Bondstrand jetfire protected PSX-L3 pipe can also
be used in normally wet service and in those
locations where smoke density and toxicity are of
concern. The PSX-JF pipe is used in normally dry
service (such as deluge lines).

Eliminate corrosion: Retrofit your seawater systems with Bondstrand®
BONDSTRAND®
GLASSFIBER REINFORCED EPOXY PIPE SYSTEMS
FOR RETROFIT APPLICATIONS
Corrosion of metallic piping is a well known
problem on board seagoing vessels and
offshore units. Corrosion typically occurs
when metal piping is part of the seawater
system, as well as in systems carrying fluids
used for cleaning, degreasing and water
treatment.
Traditionally, corroded piping is replaced
from time to time by new pipes made of the
same material. This means the defect is
repaired, but the problem is not solved.
Future replacement of the same pipe is only
a matter of time.
Leaking seawater lines are a nuisance
aboard ships, especially in the engine
room. Seawater spraying, or dripping from
leaking pipes may also result in collateral
damage to surrounding equipment and
instruments.
For many shipowners and offshore
operators, the exchange of piping is
regarded as part of the daily routine.
The time it takes to have corrosion
problems can be predicted, based
on experience and is often accepted as a
fact of life. No questions are asked and
systems are being repaired and replaced
frequently.
The question to ask is: "Do you have to
accept repeated pipe replacement due to
corrosion problems in your seawater piping
systems?" The answer is: "No. Corrosion
problems can be eliminated with
Bondstrand."
SolutionS
NOV Fiber Glass Systems offers the solution
to your corrosion problems aboard ships
and offshore units. It is called Bondstrand.
Bondstrand GRE pipe systems have a
number of significant advantages when
compared to steel or other metallic piping.
Bondstrand GRE pipe systems are extremely
resistant to corrosion from salt water and to
a wide range of chemicals. Also, there is
very little scaling or fouling that will occur,
avoiding pressure loss. Bondstrand GRE
pipe systems are easy to install, lightweight
and require no "hot work". Bondstrand GRE
pipe can be designed to operate at
temperatures up to 121 °C.
Since 1957, Bondstrand GRE piping
systems have been installed successfully
and proven their performance on thousands
of ships and offshore units all over the world.
IMO recognizes the
increasing interest to use
materials other than steel
for pipes on ships. In 1993, IMO developed
guidelines (Res. A.753 [18]) to provide
acceptance criteria for plastic materials in
piping systems.
Eliminate corrosion:
Retrofit your seawater systemswith Bondstrand
Corrosion
does not have
to be a
problem.
Ships operate in one of the most corrosive environments: sea water.
If steel or other types of metal piping were initially used in construction,
replace them with Bondstrand Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) when
corrosion causes them to fail.

1) Full-face elastomeric gaskets may be used suitable for the service pressure, service temperature and fluid. Shore A durometer hardness of 60 +5 is recom mended (3 mm thick). Compressed fibre gaskets (3 mm thick), compatible with pressure, temperature and medium may also be used. Mechanical properties should be in accordance with DIN 3754 (IT 400) or equal.2) For maximum bolt torque refer to the appropriate Bondstrand literature. A torque-wrench must be used, since excessive torque may result in flange damage.3) Size 18-40 inch can be bonded directly to a fitting by using a Quick-Lock to Taper/Taper transition nipple. For bonding to pipe, a Quick Lock (straight) spigot has to be shaved on the pipe.

5. Requirements for bonding surface and ambient conditionsThis section gives descriptions of specific conditions of the pipe surfaces meant for adhesive bonding, as well as methods to obtain the required condition of the bonding surfaces.
5.1 Cleaning of a plain pipe end or an unprepared bell endBoth, the outer surface of a plain cut (not machined) pipe end and the inner surface of an unprepared (see section 5.2) bell must be clean and dry before starting any operation. If these unprepared surfaces of product ends have been in contact with oil or grease, they must be cleaned using a clean cloth, which is soaked in clean acetone, M.E.K. (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) or M.I.B.K. (Methyl Iso Butyl Ketone). Dry the cleaned surface with a clean, dry and non-fluffy cloth. If there are no traces of oil or grease contamination on these pipe ends, clean the surfaces using a clean, dry and non-fluffy cloth (see fig. 5.1.a).
5.2 Unprepared and prepared surfaceAn unprepared surface is a surface on the inside of a bell or on the outside of a pipe end, where the original resin rich coating is still intact as it were after completion of the manufacturing process. Any manual or mechanical abrasion process, such as sanding or sand blasting, has never reduced the original thickness of these resin rich layers. A prepared surface is a surface on the inside of a bell or on the outside of a pipe end that has been abraded manually or mechanically. By the abrasion process, the reinforcement of the composite may come in direct contact with the environment and is therefore sensitive for contamination.
5.3 Ambient conditions and conditioning of bonding surfacesIf the bonding surfaces are visibly wet, these surfaces must be dried and heated. If the temperature of the bonding surfaces is less than dew point plus 3 ºC, these surfaces must be heated in order to avoid condensate on the bonding surface. If the relative humidity of the environment is > 95 %, if it is foggy, or if there is any form of precipitation (e.g. rain, snow, hail), precautionary measures must be taken to create an environment where the bonding process can be performed under conditioned circumstances (e.g. a shelter). Drying of wet surfaces is performed using a clean, dry and non-fluffy cloth and is followed by heating of the bonding areas. Heating of surfaces that are wet or below dew point plus 3 ºC is performed with a heating source such as a hot air blower or a heating blanket. The humidity of a (sheltered) bonding environment is reduced with e.g. a hot air blower. Raise the temperature of the bonding surfaces during the heating process up to maximum 80 ºC or set the temperature of the heating blanket at maximum 80 ºC. If the environment heats the bonding surface above 40 ºC, protect it from direct radiation by sunlight. The temperature of the bonding surfaces of spigot and bell, during the bonding procedure, shall be kept between 15 ºC and 40 ºC, but also at least 3 ºC above dew point. Precautionary measures shall be taken to guarantee the compliance with the required humidity and temperature conditions during the complete bonding procedure.

5.4 Cleaning of a machined spigot end or a sanded bell endA machined, prepared or sanded bonding surface that has been in contact with oil or grease shall not be used and must be cut. Machined, prepared or sanded bonding surfaces that are contaminated by other means than oil or grease can be cleaned by sanding (see section 5.5).In case of doubt about the nature of the contamination cut the concerned spigot or bell. If there are no traces of contamination on these pipe ends, clean the surfaces using a clean, dry and non-fluffy cloth. Do not touch the cleaned surface, nor allow it to be contaminated.
5.5 Sanding of spigot and bell endThe sanding operation of the bonding surfaces of both,spigot- and bell end, shall be performed within 2 hoursfrom the actual bonding. Bonding surfaces must be clean and dry at the start of the sanding operation (see sections 5.1, 5.3 and 5.4). Sanding of unprepared bell ends is performed mechanically, using an emery cup with a grid of grade P40 to P60 (see fig. 5.5.a).
Sanding of factory prepared bell ends and machined spigotends is performed mechanically using an emery cup, aflapper wheel or emery cloth with a grid of grade P40 to P60. A correctly sanded surface does not change in colour when continuing sanding (see fig. 5.5.b). Bonding surfaces must be sanded equally in circumferential direction.The bonding surface must stay smooth by applying an even pressure on the sanding equipment. Break sharp edges of the tip of the machined spigot end.
The bonding surface is cleaned using a dry and clean dust bristle (see fig. 5.5.c). Sanded surfaces must have a dull, fresh finish, not a polished look. Do not touch the cleaned surface, nor allow it to be contaminated.

6. Dimensioning of Conical-Cylindrical spigot endIn case a pipe with the correct length and (factory) shaved spigot end is available, then continue with section 7 of these instructions. This section 6 is relevant in case the pipe length has to be adjusted or a cylindrical spigot end has to be shaved. Make sure to comply with the relevant requirements stated in section 5 before starting a next step in the activities to complete the bonding procedure.
6.1 Cutting of pipea Contaminated pipe surfaces must be cleaned prior to perform any operation on the pipe (see relevant requirements stated in section 5).
b Ensure that the pipe is adequately supported or clamped on a pipe vice. Use rubber padding having a minimum thickness of 2 mm or similar to protect the pipe from damage.
c Determine the required length from the product drawing or by measurement (see fig. 6.1.c).
d Scribe the pipe at the required length, using a pipe fitters’ wrap-around (see fig. 6.1.d); take notice of the minimum cut length (see Annex B).
e Cut the pipe square using a diamond or carbide coated hacksaw or an abrasive wheel.
f Ensure that the squareness of the cut end remains within required tolerance (A) (see fig. 6.1.e and table 6.1.f).

6.2 Shaving of pipe enda Various types of shavers are available (see fig. 6.2.a). To operate the shaver, carefully follow the applicable shaver instructions (see section 2).
b The pipe end to be shaved shall be clean (see relevant requirements in section 5) and must be adequately supported (see section 6.1.b and fig. 6.2.b).
c Start the shaving procedure (see fig. 6.2.c), using a maximum shaving feed of 2 mm. Be careful shaving the first layer as the pipe wall might have an unequal thickness over the circumference.

d Repeat the shaving action until the required spigot dimensions (see Annex C, table C) are achieved. Indications of the spigot dimensions are obtained by measuring these dimensions while the shaver is mounted.
The spigot diameter (S1) is determined at about half of the spigot length (SA) (see fig. 6.2.d1). The wall thickness of the spigot (T) is measured at a number (3 - 6) of positions at the end of the spigot, equally spaced in the circumference (see fig. 6.2.d2).
The actual spigot dimensions shall be determined after dismantling of the shaver from the pipe end. The spigot dimensions shall comply with the requirements of Annex C, table C.
• Incaseofnon-compliancewithdimensional requirements, following corrective action shall be taken:
In case of non-compliance with dimensional requirements, following corrective actions shall be taken: Cut the shaved spigot end and put the left pipe section aside; this section can be used for a shorter assembly. Continue the assembly process starting from section 6.1.

7. Preparing for bondingBefore any actual bonding activity can start, the spigot- and bell end to be jointed shall be prepared as described below. Especially in the small diameter range, more joints may have to be prepared, as more joints can be made with one adhesive kit; in some cases it may be advantageous to assemble more joints at the same time see adhesive instructions (section 2).
7.1 Sanding and conditioning of both bonding surfacesa Make sure to comply with the relevant requirements stated in section 5.
Note: The maximum number of sanding operations for each of the bonding surfaces, either the spigot- or the bell end, is two.In case the spigot is re-sanded the relevant spigot dimensions shall be checked by measuring.For dimensional requirements see Annex C, table C.
Determine the spigot diameter (S1).The wall thickness of the spigot (T) is measured at a number (>= 6) of positions at the end of the spigot, equally spaced in the circumference.
In case the number of sanding operations of the bonding surfaces is more than two, or the spigot dimensions are not in compliance with the requirements, the product shall not be used or the spigot end shall be cut.
7.2 Dry fit and markingIn order to be able to check the required final position of the spigot relative to the bell, the joint of a pipe and a fitting is marked with an alignment mark.
Scribe a longitudinal line on the outer surface of the bell, continuing on the outer surface of the pipe containing the shaved spigot end (see fig. 7.2).
7.3 Installation of pulling equipmenta If possible, the Conical-Cylindrical adhesive bonded joint is assembled without the use of mechanical pulling equipment. However, starting from DN200 (8”) it is allowed to mount the spigot in the bell using pulling equipment.
b The pulling equipment is installed on both sides of the joint; normally two winches will suffice. The position of the winches is equally spaced over the circumference of the parts to be jointed in order to realise centric entrance of the spigot in the bell. Make sure there is enough space to apply adhesive on the bonding surfaces.
c Respect the required alignment of the parts to be jointed as well as the support during the bonding operation.
Fig. 7.2

8. BondingThe actual bonding starts with the preparation of the adhesive and finishes when the adhesive between the jointed parts is cooled down to ambient temperature, after completion of curing of the adhesive.The adhesive shall be supplied by the pipe manufacturer.Be aware that the bonding procedure shall be performed continuously and without any interruption or delay, within the potlife/working life of the adhesive. This means that the period within mixing of the adhesive components until the spigot has been pulled into the bell shall fall within the potlife/working life.
8.1 Preparation of adhesivea Select the proper type and kit size of adhesive, if applicable. Determine the number of adhesive kits required for one joint, or the number of joints which can be made with one kit. For detailed information about the adhesive, reference is made to the relevant document (see section 2).
b The temperature of the adhesive shall comply with the requirements stated in the relevant document (see section 2).
c Apply the adhesive immediately after finishing the mix procedure.
d Never use adhesive that has started to cure; this is the case when the mixture gets clotted, toughens and the temperature rises significantly.
8.2 Application of adhesivea Use a fresh spatula or adhesive scraper for the application of adhesive on the freshly prepared bonding surfaces. In case the spatula used for mixing is also used for the application of the adhesive, the spatula must be cleaned first.
b Wet the sanded surfaces of bell- and spigot end with some force with a thin, uniform coating of adhesive (hardly any thickness).
c Apply a thin (0.5 – 0.8 mm) and uniform layer of adhesive on the adhesive coated bonding surface of the bell end. Apply a somewhat thicker (0.8 – 1.0 mm) and uniform layer of adhesive on the adhesive coated bonding surface of the spigot end. Do not apply more adhesive than strictly necessary to avoid an excessive resin bead on the inside of the joint, resulting in flow restrictions. Make sure to apply an adhesive layer on the cut end of the spigot and on the pipe stop shoulder in the bell end (see fig. 8.2.c and fig. 8.2.d).
d Protect the adhesive coatings on the bonding surfaces and prevent any contamination.

8.3 Assembly of the spigot in the bella Parts to be jointed shall be aligned as true as possible. Any visual misalignment is unacceptable.
b Insert the spigot in the bell and push it home while rotating slowly one quarter of a rotation, if possible. Pay attention to the alignment mark on the outer surface with regard to the orientation of the parts to be jointed.
c When using pulling equipment for joints DN >200mm (8”), the winches are hooked, each winch is equally loaded and the sections to be bonded are pulled together with a smooth movement.
d Make sure that the spigot is inserted centrically into the bell until the entrance of the spigot is stopped by the shoulder in the bell.
NoteContinuation of activities on the pipeline/piping system may never result in displacement of the position of the spigot relative to the bell in whatever direction or orientation.
e Remove the excessive adhesive from the outer surface (see fig. 8.3.d1) and if possible from the inside of the joint. The fillet on the head of the bell should be smoothly rounded; the inside might be cleaned with a plug (see fig. 8.3.d2).

8.4 Curing of the adhesivea Until completion of the cure of the adhesive the joint shall not be moved, vibrated or otherwise disturbed.
b Wrap the required size and voltage heating blanket around the joint, ensuring full coverage of the bond area and keeping the power supply cable free from the blanket. Tie the heating blanket down using e.g. a string or steel wire and assuring an optimal surface contact with the bell (see fig. 8.4.b).
c Overlapping ends of oversized blankets risk to be over-heated. Insulate overlapping ends and position the overlap outside the insulation.
d Insulate the heating blanket with suitable insulating material (by preference a fire blanket or equivalent). Close at least one open end of the jointed pipe line sections in order to avoid cooling down by draught. Insulating material should overlap the sides of the blanket with at least 100 mm and should match the pipe (see fig. 8.4.d).
e Apply electric power to the heating blanket. If applicable, adjust the temperature of the blanket such that the surface temperature of the jointed parts complies with the requirements stated in the relevant adhesive instructions (see section 2). Check the functioning of the heating blanket at least at the start and at the end of the curing process by measuring the surface temperature of the bell using a (digital) thermometer.
f The curing time starts when the required surface temperature of the jointed components is reached. Write the starting time of the curing on the pipe, next to the heating blanket (see fig. 8.4.d). For the required curing time, see Annex D.
g Adhesive bonded flanges shall be cured by placing the heating blanket against the inner surface of the flange. For an optimal heat transfer the blanket shall be pressed against the inner surface of the jointed parts, after the excess adhesive has been removed from the inside of the joint (see fig. 8.4.g).
h If the curing process does not comply with the requirements of the curing cycle, the complete curing cycle shall be repeated.
i The electrical power to the heating blanket shall be switched off after completion of the curing time and after having checked the surface temperature for the last time. Indicate the end time of the curing cycle on the pipe. It is advised to mark the joint, indicating that the adhesive is cured. Allow the joint to cool down before loading mechanically or hydrostatically

5. Requirements for bonding surface and ambient conditionsThis section gives descriptions of specific conditions of the pipe surfaces meant for adhesive bonding, as well as methods to obtain the required condition of the bonding surfaces.
5.1 Cleaning of a plain pipe end or unprepared bell endBoth, the outer surface of a plain cut (not machined) pipe end and the inner surface of an unprepared (see section 5.2) bell must be clean and dry before starting any operation. If these unprepared surfaces of product ends have been in contact with oil or grease, they must be cleaned using a clean cloth, which is soaked in clean acetone, M.E.K. (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) or M.I.B.K. (Methyl Iso Butyl Ketone). Dry the cleaned surface with a clean, dry and non-fluffy cloth. If there are no traces of oil or grease contamination on these pipe ends, clean the surfaces using a clean, dry and non-fluffy cloth (see fig. 5.1.a).
5.2 Unprepared and prepared surfaceAn unprepared surface is a surface on the inside of a bell or on the outside of a pipe end, where the original resin rich coating is still intact as it were after completion of the manufacturing process. Any manual or mechanical abrasion process, such as sanding or sand blasting, has never reduced the original thickness of these resin rich layers. A prepared surface is a surface on the inside of a bell or on the outside of a pipe end that has been abraded manually or mechanically. By the abrasion process, the reinforcement of the composite may come in direct contact with the environment and is therefore sensitive for contamination.
5.3 Ambient conditions and conditioning of bonding surfacesIf the bonding surfaces are visibly wet, these surfaces must be dried and heated. If the temperature of the bonding surfaces is less than dew point plus 3 ºC, these surfaces must be heated in order to avoid condensate on the bonding surface. If the relative humidity of the environment is > 95 %, if it is foggy, or if there is any form of precipitation (e.g. rain, snow, hail), precautionary measures must be taken to create an environment where the bonding process can be performed under conditioned circumstances (e.g. a shelter). Drying of wet surfaces is performed using a clean, dry and non-fluffy cloth and is followed by heating of the bonding areas. Heating of surfaces that are wet or below dew point plus 3 ºC is performed with a heating source such as a hot air blower or a heating blanket. The humidity of a (sheltered) bonding environment is reduced with e.g. a hot air blower. Raise the temperature of the bonding surfaces during the heating process up to maximum 80 ºC or set the temperature of the heating blanket at maximum 80 ºC. If the environment heats the bonding surface above 40 ºC, protect it from direct radiation by sunlight. The temperature of the bonding surfaces of spigot and bell, during the bonding procedure, shall be kept between 15 ºC and 40 ºC, but also at least 3 ºC above dew point.
Fig. 5.1.a
Precautionary measures shall be taken to guarantee the compliance with the required humidity and temperature conditions during the complete bonding procedure.
5
5.4 Cleaning of a machined spigot end or a sanded bell endA machined, prepared or sanded bonding surface that has been in contact with oil or grease shall not be used and must be cut. Machined, prepared or sanded bonding surfaces that are contaminated by other means than oil or grease can be cleaned by sanding (see section 5.5).In case of doubt about the nature of the contamination, cut the concerned spigot or bell. If there are no traces of contamination on these pipe ends, clean the surfaces using a clean, dry and non-fluffy cloth. Do not touch the cleaned surface nor allow it to be contaminated.
5.5 Sanding of spigot and bell endThe sanding operation of the bonding surfaces of both,spigot- and bell end, shall be performed within 2 hoursfrom the actual bonding. Bonding surfaces must be clean and dry at the start of the sanding operation (see sections 5.1, 5.3 and 5.4). Sanding of unprepared bell ends is performed mechanically, using an emery cup with a grid of grade P40 to P60 (see fig. 5.5.a).
Sanding of factory prepared bell ends and machined spigotends is performed mechanically using an emery cup, aflapper wheel or emery cloth with a grid of grade P40 to P60. A correctly sanded surface does not change in colour when continuing sanding (see fig. 5.5.b). Bonding surfaces must be sanded equally in circumferential direction.The bonding surface must stay smooth by applying an even pressure on the sanding equipment. Break sharp edges of the tip of the machined spigot end.
The bonding surface is cleaned using a dry and clean dust bristle (see fig. 5.5.c). Sanded surfaces must have a dull, fresh finish, not a polished look. Do not touch the cleaned surface, nor allow it to be contaminated.

6. Dimensioning of taper spigot endIn case a pipe with the correct length and (factory) shaved spigot end is available, then continue with section 7 of these instructions. This section 6 is relevant in case the pipe length has to be adjusted or a tapered spigot end has to be shaved. Make sure to comply with the relevant requirements stated in section 5 before starting a next step in the activities to complete the bonding procedure.
6.1 Cutting of pipea Contaminated pipe surfaces must be cleaned prior to perform any operation on the pipe (see relevant requirements stated in section 5).
b Ensure that the pipe is adequately supported or clamped on a pipe vice. Use rubber padding having a minimum thickness of 2 mm or similar to protect the pipe from damage.
c Determine the required length from the product drawing or by measurement (see fig. 6.1.c).
d Scribe the pipe at the required length, using a pipe fitters’ wrap-around (see fig. 6.1.d); take notice of the minimum cut length (see Annex B).
e Cut the pipe square using a diamond or carbide coated hacksaw or an abrasive wheel.
f Ensure that the squareness of the cut end remains within required tolerance (A) (see fig. 6.1.f and table 6.1.f).

6.2 Shaving of pipe enda Various types of shavers are available (see fig. 6.2.a). To operate the shaver, carefully follow the applicable shaver instructions (see section 2).
b The pipe end to be shaved shall be clean (see relevant requirements in section 5) and must be adequately supported (see section 6.1.b and fig. 6.2.b).
c Start the shaving procedure (see fig. 6.2.c), using a maximum shaving feed of 2 mm. Be careful shaving the first layer as the pipe wall might have an unequal thickness over the circumference.
Fig. 6.2.a.
Fig. 6.2.b
Fig. 6.2.c
8
d Repeat the shaving action until the required spigot dimension (see Annex C) is achieved. Measurement of the nose thickness (T) at a number spots (3 - 6) in the circumference of the head of the spigot (see fig. 6.2.d) can be used to obtain an indication of having achieved the required spigot diameter (S1).
e Use an unprepared (dummy) bell to check the correctness of the shaved spigot end dimensions by determining the actual insert depth of the spigot in the bell. Mark the actual insert depth of the spigot in the (dummy) bell on the section containing the spigot end (see fig. 6.2.e). The spigot diameter (S1) is checked by comparing the actual insert depth with the allowable values of the insert depth (see Annex C). The actual insert depth shall comply with the following requirement: The actual insert depth shall be: - Equal to or smaller than the maximum insert depth - Equal to or greater than the minimum insert depth. (Minimuminsertdepth≤Actualinsertdepth ≤Maximuminsertdepth).
If the actual insert depth of the spigot in the (dummy) bell is too long (> maximum insert depth, Annex C, table C1), this means that the spigot diameter (S1) is too small. Choose for one of the following corrective actions: - Cut the shaved length to comply with the required insert depth. - Cut the shaved spigot at about 50 % of the shaved length and repeat dimensioning starting from section 6.1
If the actual insert depth of the spigot in the (dummy) bell is too short (<minimum insert depth, see Annex C, table C1), this means that the spigot diameter (S1) is too big. Choose for the following corrective action:
Cut the shaved spigot at about 50 % of the shaved length and repeat dimensioning starting from section 6.1.
Fig. 6.2.d
Fig. 6.2.e
9
f The eccentricity of the shaved spigot diameter (S1) relative to the inner diameter (ID) is determined from a number(≥6)ofmeasurementsofthenosethickness(T) in the circumference of the spigot diameter (S1). The maximum allowable difference between the measured nose thicknesses (Tolmax) is indicated in table C1 of Annex C. An explanation of a check of the eccentricity of the shaved spigot diameter is given in Annex D, Re. 2.
If the actual tolerance on the nose thickness (Tolact) is too big (> Tolmax, see Annex C, table C1), this means that the eccentricity of the shaved spigot diameter (S1) relative to the inner diameter (ID) is too big.Choose for the following corrective action:
Cut the shaved spigot at about 50% of the shaved length and repeat dimensioning starting from section 6.1.
Note:Shaving the spigot diameter (S1) 1 mm smaller (nose thickness 0.5 mm less) results in an additional insert depth of the spigot in the bell depending on the taper angle (see fig. N1):- For a taper angle α= 1.75 º, the additional insert depth= 16.4 mm.- For a taper angle α= 2.50 º, the additional insert depth= 11.5 mm.

7. Preparing for bondingBefore any actual bonding activity can start, the spigot and bell end to be jointed shall be prepared as described below. Especially in the small diameter range, more joints may have to be prepared, as more joints can be made with one adhesive kit; in some cases it may be advantageous to assemble more joints at the same time.
7.1 Sanding and conditioning of both bonding surfacesa Make sure to comply with the relevant requirements stated in section 5.
Note: The maximum number of sanding operations for each of the bonding surfaces, either the bell or the spigot, is two. In case a bonding surface is subjected to more than two sanding operations the dimensions shall be checked by determination of the insert depth of the spigot in the bell to be bonded. In this situation, the check of the insert depth shall be performed with the actual bell of the joint to be made, instead of using a dummy bell end.
7.2 Dry fit and markinga A joint of two pipe sections is marked with an insertion mark. A joint of a pipe and a fitting is marked with an insertion mark as well as an alignment mark.
b In order to be able to check the required final position of the spigot relative to the bell a marking shall be made on the outer surface: - An insertion mark is made on the pipe containing the spigot end in order to check the insert depth of the spigot in the bell. - An alignment mark is made on both, the bell and the pipe containing the spigot, in order to check the required orientation.
c For an insertion mark: Measure distance Y (see Annex D, Table D1) back from the head of the spigot and scribe a line in circumferential direction on the outer surface of the pipe (see fig. 7.2.c).
Note:Y is derived from the following equation: Y= Minimum insert depth + X (Eq.1) Where: - For Minimum insert depth see Annex C, Table C1. - X is taken as a default value of 50 mm in Annex D, Table D1. In case the value of X = 50 mm is not workable, choose another practical value of X and determine Y using equation (Eq.1).
Fig. 7.2.c
11
d For an alignment mark: Scribe a longitudinal line on the outer surface of the bell, continuing on the outer surface of the pipe containing the shaved spigot end (see fig. 7.2.d).
7.3 Installation of pulling equipmenta The mechanical equipment to pull the spigot centrically in the bell is installed on both sides of the joint (see fig. 7.3.a). Normally two winches will suffice; if needed more winches can be used. The position of the winches is equally spaced over the circumference of the parts to be jointed in order to realise centric entrance of the spigot in the bell. Make sure that there will be sufficient space to apply adhesive on the bonding surfaces.
b Respect the required alignment of the parts to be jointed as well as the support during the bonding operation.
Fig. 7.3.a
Fig. 7.2.d

8. BondingThe actual bonding starts with the preparation of the adhesive and finishes when the adhesive between the jointed parts is cooled down to ambient temperature, after completion of curing of the adhesive.The adhesive shall be supplied by the pipe manufacturer.Be aware that the bonding procedure shall be performed continuously and without any interruption or delay, within the potlife/working life of the adhesive. This means that the period within mixing of the adhesive components until the spigot has been pulled into the bell shall fall within the potlife/working life.
8.1 Preparation of adhesivea Select the proper type and kit size of adhesive, if applicable. Determine the number of adhesive kits required for one joint, or the number of joints which can be made with one kit. For detailed information about the adhesive, reference is made to the relevant document (see section 2).
b The temperature of the adhesive shall comply with the requirements stated in the relevant document (see section 2).
c Apply the adhesive immediately after finishing the mix procedure.
d Never use adhesive that has started to cure; this is the case when the mixture gets clotted, toughens and the temperature rises significantly.
8.2 Application of adhesivea Use a fresh spatula or adhesive scraper for the application of adhesive on the freshly prepared bonding surfaces. In case the spatula used for mixing is also used for the application of the adhesive, the spatula must be cleaned first.
b Wet the sanded surfaces of bell- and spigot end with some force with a thin, uniform coating of adhesive (hardly any thickness).
c Applyathin(≈0.5mm)anduniformlayerofadhesive on the adhesive coated bonding surface of the spigot end. Do not apply more adhesive than strictly necessary to avoid an excessive resin bead on the inside of the joint, resulting in flow restrictions. Make sure to apply an adhesive layer on the cut end of the spigot (see fig. 8.2.c and fig. 8.2.d).
d Make sure to apply sufficient adhesive on the cylindrical end of the spigot that will be covered by the bell (see fig. 8.2.c and fig. 8.2.d).
e Protect the adhesive coatings on the bonding surfaces and prevent any contamination.
Fig. 8.2.c
Fig. 8.2.d
13
8.3 Assembly of the spigot in the bella Parts to be jointed shall be aligned as true as possible. Any visual misalignment is unacceptable.
b Insert the spigot in the bell and pay attention to the alignment mark on the outer surface with regard to the orientation of the parts to be jointed.
c Hook the winches, apply an equal load on each winch and pull the sections to be bonded in a smooth movement together until the spigot does not enter anymore into the bell (see fig. 8.3.c); respect the marking on the outer surface. Make sure that the spigot is inserted centrically into the bell until the joint is firmly fixed together.
d Determine the distance (Dist) measured from the head of the bell to the insertion mark (see fig. 8.3.d); this distance (Dist) shall comply with the requirement stated in Annex D, Re. 1. The distance (Dist) may depend on the type of adhesive.
e It may be necessary to create some space between the winch cables and the pipe outside to ease positioning of the heating blanket. The load on the pulling equipment may only be changed within the potlife/working life of the adhesive.
Note:Continuation of activities on the pipeline system may never influence the load on the pulling equipment in either positive or negative sense.
g Keep the tension load on the pulling equipment until the adhesive is fully cured. If the load on the jointed parts is released within the potlife/working life of the adhesive, the bonding procedure shall be repeated starting from section 8.2. If the load on the jointed parts is released after the potlife/working life of the adhesive, but before completion of the curing cycle, then the joint is rejected and the bonding procedure shall be repeated starting from section 7.
h Remove the excessive adhesive from the outer surface (see fig. 8.3.h) and if possible from the inside of the joint. The fillet on the head of the bell should be smoothly rounded; the inside might be cleaned with a plug (see fig. 8.3.h.1).

8.4 Curing of the adhesivea The tension on the pulling equipment shall not be changed until completion of the cure of the adhesive. Until completion of the cure of the adhesive the joint shall not be moved, vibrated or otherwise disturbed.
b Wrap the required size and voltage heating blanket around the joint, ensuring full coverage of the bond area and keeping the power supply cable free from the blanket. Tie the heating blanket down using e.g. a string or steel wire and assuring an optimal surface contact with the bell (see fig. 8.4.b). More details can be found in the heating blanket instruction (see section 2).
c Overlapping ends of oversized blankets risk to be over-heated. Insulate overlapping ends and position the overlap outside the insulation.
d Insulate the heating blanket with suitable insulating material (by preference a fire blanket or equivalent). Close at least one open end of the jointed pipe line sections in order to avoid cooling down by draught. Insulating material should overlap the sides of the blanket with at least 100 mm and should match the pipe (see fig. 8.4.d).
e Apply electric power to the heating blanket. If applicable, adjust the temperature of the blanket such that the surface temperature of the jointed parts complies with the requirements stated in the relevant adhesive instructions (see section 2). Check the functioning of the heating blanket at least at the start and at the end of the curing process by measuring the surface temperature of the bell using a (digital) thermometer.
f The curing time starts when the required surface temperature of the jointed components is reached. Write the starting time of the curing on the pipe, next to the heating blanket. For the required curing time see Annex E.
g Adhesive bonded flanges shall be cured by placing the heating blanket against the inner surface of the flange. For an optimal heat transfer the blanket shall be pressed against the inner surface of the jointed parts, after the excess adhesive has been removed from the inside of the joint (see fig. 8.4.g).
h If the curing time or the curing temperature does not comply with the requirements of the curing cycle, the complete curing cycle shall be repeated. i The electrical power to the heating blanket shall be switched off after completion of the curing time and after having checked the surface temperature for the last time. Indicate the end time of the curing cycle on the pipe. It is advised to mark the joint, indicating that the adhesive is cured. Allow the joint to cool down before loading mechanically or hydrostatically.

Annex D Instructions dimensional check shaving dimensions Taper spigotThe correctness of the shaving dimensions of the taper spigot end is checked by measurement of: 1. The insert depth of the spigot in the bell 2. The actual tolerance on the nose thickness
Note:The nominal Spigot Length (SA) is given in Annex C, Table C1, for reference only. The Spigot Length (SA) shall not be used as quality criterion.
Re. 1 The insert depth of the spigot in the bellA check of the required minimum insert depth of the spigot in the bell, after assembly of the spigot in the bell, is performed by measurement of the distance (Dist) from the head of the bell to the insertion mark (see section 8.3.d).
A correct insertion depth shall comply with the following requirement:
Filled adhesive (e.g. RP 60 B / RP 34)(X-10)≤Dist≤X (Eq.D1)
Unfilled adhesive (e.g. RP 48 / RP 44, RP 55)(X-10)≤Dist≤(X+10)(Eq.D2)
Example for position of insertion mark(see section 7.2.c, fig. D1 and fig. D2):
In case for X= 50 mm is chosen, the insertion mark shall be scribed at a distance Y (mm), measured from the head of the spigot; for Y see following table D1.

Re. 2 Eccentricity of spigot endA check of the deviation on the nose thickness (Tdev) is an indirect method to check the eccentricity of the spigot diameter (S1) relative to the inner diameter (ID).The deviation of the nose thickness (Tdev) is obtained from measurements of the nose thickness (T) in the circumference of the spigot diameter (S1), (see fig. D3).
The minimum value of the deviation on the nose thickness (Tdevmin)= 0; in this case the spigot diameter (S1) is centric relative to the inner diameter (ID).The maximum allowable deviation on the nose thickness (Tdevmax) indicates the maximum allowable eccentricity of the spigot diameter (S1) relative to the inner diameter (ID).
The deviation on the nose thickness (Tdev) is determined from measurements of the actual nose thickness (T) and is compared with the maximum allowable tolerance (Tolmax), which is listed in Annex C, table C1.
The deviation on the nose thickness (Tdev) is derived from following equation:
Tdev = Tmax - Tmin (Eq. D2)
Tmax and Tmin are respectively the maximum and minimum value of the measured nose thickness (T).The nose thickness (T) is measured at least 6 times, equally spaced over the circumference of the spigot diameter (S1), (see fig. D3).
The eccentricity of the spigot diameter (S1) relative to the inner diameter (ID) is correct if the deviation (Tdev) complies with the following requirement:
Tdev≤Tolmax (Eq. D3)

These instructions present NOV Fiber Glass Systems recommendations for the proper use of Bondstrand fiberglass flanges. The mounting of flanges on the pipe is addressed by the assembly instructions for the particular joint type and adhesive used.
Bondstrand flanges are Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) filament-wound epoxy pipe flanges in diameters 25 through 1000 mm (1-40 inch) designed to be used in combination with Bondstrand pipes. Flanges are used in Bondstrand pipe systems to connect appendages and equipment, or to make connection with other lines of similar or other material. It also gives the ability to divide a pipeline into several (prefabricated) sections making it easier to install. Three type of flanges are available. Depending on the application and pressure one of the below described flanges can be used.
Hubbed type flangeApplicable for low pressure up to a maximum of 12 bar (174 psi),and only in combination with flat face counter flanges. Never use this type of flange against raised face flanges or in combination with wafer type valves. Hubbed type flanges are available in sizes 2-16 inch (50-400 mm) with Quick-Lock® adhesive bonded joints.
Heavy Duty (HD) type flangeThe Heavy Duty type flanges are used for pressures up to 50 bar (725 psi). HD type flanges are available with a Quick-Lock sizes 1-16 inch (25-400 mm) or Taper/Taper sizes 2-40 inch (50-1000 mm) adhesive bonded joint. Heavy duty tupe flanges can be used when connecting to raised faced metal flanges and wafer type valves.
Stub-end (lap joint) type flangeStub-end type flanges are suitable for high pressures upto 100 bar (1450 psi) . Stub end flanges can be supplied with an o-ring groove or a flat face in combination with suitable gasket. Stub-end type flanges are available with a Quick-Lock sizes 1-16 inch (25-400 mm) or Taper/Taper sizes 2-40 inch (50-1000) adhesive bonded joint. Stub-end type flanges can be used when
connecting to raised faced metal flange and wafer type valves.
Stub-end (lap joint) type flanges consist of 2 parts; A Bondstrand GRE stub with a steel backing ring flange.
Always use a flat faced (stub end) flange against an o-ring sealed stub end flange, when using stub-ends as flange pairs.

Flange joints shall be installed aligned and stress free. Never pull flanges together by tightening the bolts. See table below for maximum misalignment allowance.
Table 2: Maximum misalignment allowance
Leakage problems due to misalignment could be solved by using o-ring type gaskets (e.g. Kroll & Ziller G-ST-P/S or Elastomet OR).
ToolingCheck the presence and quality of joint material (bolt, nut, washer, gas-ket) and tooling (Photo 4). The tooling and joint material listed below are, as a minimum, required to make a flanged joint. A torque wrench and a ring spanner are required for proper assembly of Bondstrand fiberglass flanges.

• For hubbed flanges use a full-face gasket of a reinforced elastomer;• For heavy duty flanges use a full-face or raised face gasket of a reinforced elastomer or
compressed fiber;• For o-ring sealed stub end flanges use an o-ring. For flat faced stub end flanges use a
raised face gasket of a reinforced elastomer or compressed fiber;• Gasket material must be suitable for the service pressure, temperature and fluids in the
system.Gasketsshouldbe3mm(⅛inch)thick. The hardness should be 60-75 Shore A;• When connecting to rubber lined valves, use either flat faced stub end flanges or insert a
spacer ring between valve and flange.
See table 1 for pressure rating of the different gasket types.

Safety
TroubleshootingIf the assembled flange joint leaks, loosen and remove all bolts, nuts, washers and gasket. Check for alignment of assembly. Rebuild to correct alignment as required.Check the gasket for damage. If damaged, discard and replace it with a new, undamaged gasket. Check flanges for seal ring damage. In particular, check the condition of the inner seal rings. Flanges with damaged inner seal rings must be removed and new, undamaged flanges installed. If leaks occur as a result of deficiencies in non-fiberglass components of the piping system, consult the manufacturer of the defective components for recommended corrective procedures. Clean and re-lubricate old threads and washers before rejoining. Repeat the joining procedure out-lined above. After corrective action has been taken, retest the joint.
Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye protection at all times.

Reducing saddle with flanged branchThese saddles are available in pressure classes up to 16 bar depending on the size. Flanged reducing saddles are available in size 2”- 40” with either Quick-Lock or Taper adhesive bonded flanges. Refer to the product datasheets for available branch sizes. Flanged reducing saddles are generally used to connect vents and drains or temperature and pressure gauges. To connect branch lines reducing tees are recommended.
Reducing saddle with socket outletThe socket reducing saddles are, depending on size, suitable up to 16 bar. This type of reducing saddle is available in size 3”-40” with either a Quick-Lock or Taper adhesive bonded bell end. Refer to the product datasheets for available branch sizes. In general socket reducing saddles are used to connect short branch lines (e.g. drain or vent lines). Reducing tees are recommended to connect to branch lines.
Reducing saddle with bushingBushing saddle can be used for pressures up to 16 bar (depending on size) and are available in sizes 2”-40”. The outlet can be NPT or BSP threaded. Thread sizes up to 1” are available. Bushing saddles are used to connect pressure and temperature gauges.

Asssembly of saddlesMark the outline of the saddle on the surface of the pipe.
Sand the area with a flapper wheel, using a grid 40 or 60 abrasive. Sand the bonding area until the resin rich outer layer is completely removed. After sanding, the surface should show a dull, fresh finish (not a polished look).
If a hole in the pipe is required, mark and drill the hole opening. Do not use oil or other lubricants for drilling. Make the hole just slightly larger than the outer diameter of the protuted part of the branch at the inner radius of the saddle. A hole saw with a pilot drill and a carbide cutting works best for ¾-inch and larger holes, while a standard drill bit for steel will usually suffice for smaller holes.
Examine the inside surface of the pipe around the newly cut hole for cracks in the liner. Chipped or cracked liner material must be sanded off and a thin layer of adhesive added to the affected areas.
Sand the inside surface of the saddle using a flapper sander. Lightly re-sand the pipe surface and the edge of the hole, especially if the surface may have been contaminated while drilling the hole.
All mating surfaces, plus the edge of the hole, must be clean and dry and must be sanded within two hours of assembly.
After sanding, surfaces to be bonded should show a dull, fresh finish (not a polished look).
Thoroughly wipe the sanded saddle and pipe surfaces with a clean, dry paper cloth or use a duster brush to remove dust particles. If surfaces become wet, warm with Bondstrand heating blanket until dry, then re-sand. Protect the mating surfaces from moisture during wet weather by tenting over the working area. Do not touch the prepared surfaces with bare hands or any article that would leave an oily film. Never use solvents for cleaning bonding surfaces.

Unless the project specifications or the Bondstrand Chemical Resistance Chart recommend a special adhesive for your particular service, one should use Bondstrand RP-34 Epoxy Adhesive. If a different Bondstrand adhesive is required, substitute for the RP-34 an equal quantity of the desired adhesive.
Instructions for mixing and using the adhesive are found in the package. Grounding saddles are bonded using RP60 conductive adhesive.
Apply enough adhesive to completely cover the mating surfaces of both pipe and saddle and a thin layer to the hole edge in the pipe with the spatula supplied in the adhesive kit. Then add a liberal amount of adhesive in the central area of the pipe mating surface so that excess adhesive will be forced to flow from the central area to the saddle edges when the saddle and pipe are banded. If saddle is to be mounted over a hole, avoid excess flow towards the hole by placing the excess adhesive around the hole, about halfway between the hole and the edge of the saddle.
Push the saddle into place and check the alignment of the outlet using a level.
Draw the saddle against the pipe using two band clamps at each end of the saddle.
Do not over tight as this will squeeze out all the adhesive. Put just enough tension on the band clamps until adhesive is shown at all edges.
Remove excess adhesive for a nice finish. Once again check the alignment.
Cure the adhesive bonded saddle at ambient temperature for at least 8 hours, leaving the bandclamps in place.
Remove the bandclamps and heat cure the adhesive using NOV FGS heating blankets. Use two blankets for reducing saddles, one at each side of the outlet. The required curing time is two hours.
Apply enough adhesive
Push saddle into place and check the alignment
Use band clamps

2.3. Advantages and disadvantages of GRE compared with steel
2.3.1. AdvantagesGlass Reinforced Epoxy pipe systems have a number of advantages over conventional pipe systems, of which the most important are:• Durable/corrosion resistant GRE piping is resistant, both internally and externally, to the corrosive effects of water, oil and many chemicals. Cathodic protection or coating is not required.• Low weight/easy to install The specific weight of GRE is only 25 % of steel; due to the low weight, GRE pipeline components are easier to handle without the need of heavy (lifting) equipment.• No initial painting or conservation The epoxy topcoat on the outer surface of GRE pipe components is resistant to the influences of the installation environment and an additional external conservation is initially not required.

2.1. SystemsGRE pipeline systems are made from glass fibers, which are impregnated with an aromatic- or cyclo-aliphatic amine cured epoxy resin.This thermoset resin system offers superior corrosion resistance together with excellent mechanical, physical and thermal properties.
The glass fiber reinforced epoxy pipeline is resistant to the corrosive effects of mixtures with a low concentration of acids, neutral or nearly neutral salts, solvents and caustic substances, both under internal and external pressure.A reinforced resin liner can protect the helical wound continuous glass fibers of the reinforced wall of the pipes and the structural reinforcement of the fittings internally.
2.2. Pipe fabrication processGRE pipes are manufactured using the filament winding method. In this mechanical process, continuous glass fiber rovings are impregnated with epoxy resin.The production of GRE starts with the preparation of a steel mandrel, which may be completed with a socket mould. The dimensions of these tools determine the inner dimensions of the pipe, fitting and joint system.Glass fibers are guided through a resin bath, which is filled with epoxy resin and are wound under constant tension in a specific pattern around the polished mandrel.This process continues until the required wall thickness is reached. Generally, the higher the pressure class, the greater the wall thickness of the product will be.The winding process ends with curing the epoxy resin in an oven, extraction of the mandrel/ mould from the product, finishing the product by cutting to length and machining the ends. The products are subjected to visual and dimensional controls as well as a hydro test.

2.3.2. DisadvantagesAttention should be paid to the following disadvantages of GRE when comparing with conventional pipe systems, such as:• Impact resistance The pipe system is more susceptible to impact damage due to the brittle nature of the thermoset resin system.• Handling GRE installations require more and careful preparation due to other joining methods, handling- and transportation requirements and installation techniques.• Flexibility The flexible GRE piping system requires specific support design.

For the joining of GRE pipe components, various types of joints can be used. This section details the characteristics of each of these joints.
4.1. Conical-Cylindrical bonded jointThis type of adhesive bonded joint consists of a slightly conical socket and a cylindrical spigot. This joint allows for an accurate assembly length with narrow tolerance and may be used for above- and underground pipe systems.
For this adhesive joint the following tools and materials are required:• Gloves,dustmask,safetyglasses• Measuringtape,marker,bench,pipefitterswrap-a round• Anglecutter,handsaworjigsaw• Shaver,grindingtools• Rubberscraper,pullingequipment,adhesivekit• Heatingblanketorairgun,insulationblanket, digital temperature gauge• Cleaningbrush,non-fluffycleaningrags,cleaning fluids
Summarized, the bonding procedure consists of cutting, cleaning, machining, and application of adhesive, joining and curing. The installation time depends on proper preparation, diameter and personnel.For specific and detailed information, reference is made to manufacturers’ documentation.
4.2. Taper/Taper bonded jointThis adhesive bonded joint consists of a conical socket and conical spigot.
When comparing with the conical-cylindrical adhesive bonded joint this type of joint is also available in higher-pressure classes.
For specific dimensions, specific instructions are required.The tools, materials, joining procedure and installation time for the taper-taper bonded joint are similar to those of the conical-cylindrical adhesive bonded joint.

4.3. Laminate JointThe laminate joint is used to join plain-ended pipe sections. After preparation of the pipe surfaces, a specific thickness of resin impregnated glass reinforcement is wrapped over a certain length around the pipes to be joined; the thickness and the length of the laminate are related to diameter and pressure.
This joint requires following tools/materials:• Gloves,dustmaskandsafetyglasses• Measuringtape,markerandpipefitterswraparound• Anglecutter,jigsaworhandsaw• Grindingtoolsandflexiblesupportdisc• Rubberscraper,scissors,brushes,resin,hardenerand glass reinforcement• Airgun,gasburnerorfieldovenwithinsulation blanket and digital temperature gauge• Cleaningbrush,non-fluffycleaningragsandcleaning fluids
The successive activities for a laminate joint are cutting, sanding, cleaning, mixing, fitting, laminating and curing. For specific and detailed information, reference is made to manufacturers’ documentation.
4.4. Flange JointThe flange joint connects appendages and equipment as well as other lines of different materials. Based on the application and pressure, several types are available.
For a flange joint following tools and materials are required:• Ringspanner,torquewrench• Bolts,nutsandwashers• Gasket
It is of major importance that GRE flanges are aligned with the counter flange. Excessive misalignment may cause high stresses, which lead to premature material failure.Generally, flange joints facilitate connections with steel piping and allow easy assembly and disassembly of piping systems.
For specific and detailed information, reference is made to manufacturers’ documentation.

4.5. Mechanical O-Ring Lock JointThe mechanical O-ring lock joint is a tensile resistant type of joint. This restrained type of joint can be used in unrestrained environments, e.g. aboveground.
The following tools and materials are required to make such a joint:• Pipeclampsandpullingequipment• Lubricant,O-ring,lockingkey(s)andplasticorwooden mallet to drive the locking key in position• Non-fluffycleaningragsandcleaningfluids
The assembly procedure starts with cleaning and lubricating surfaces, then mounting clamps, aligning, pulling the spigot in the socket and mounting the locking key(s). The joint can be disassembled, but is not designed as such.For specific and detailed information, reference is made to manufacturers’ documentation.
4.6. Mechanical O-Ring JointThe mechanical O-ring joint is a non-tensile resistant type of joint. This unrestrained type of joint can be used in a restrained environment, e.g. underground.
This type of joint is made with the following tools and materials:• Pipeclampsandpullingequipment• Lubricant,O-ring• Non-fluffycleaningragsandcleaningfluids
Joining starts with cleaning and lubricating surfaces; then mounting clamps, aligning and pulling of the spigot in the socket. For specific and detailed information, reference is made to manufacturers’ documentation.
4.7. Mechanical CouplerGenerally, mechanical couplers are used for joining plain-ended GRE pipes to pipes made from other materials. A step coupler can join pipes with different outer diameters. This type of joint is unrestrained. These couplers can also be used for preliminary repairs.
Specific information can be obtained from the supplier of the coupler.

For details on tooling and materials, reference is made to manufacturers’ detailed documentation.
5.1. ToolsTools are divided in two main categories:non-consumables and consumables.
5.1.1. Non-consumablesNon-consumable tools can be used multiple times.
5.1.1.1. ShaverA GRE pipe shaver is a custom designed tool, which is used to prepare a spigot end for an adhesive bonded joint on a pipe. Pipes are standard supplied with the appropriate end figuration, but an adjustment to length at site requires shaving of a spigot in the field.
The shaver is mounted on an arbor. The arbor is mounted and centred in the pipe and fixed against the inner surface of the pipe by expanding the diameter.
The shaver arm rotates around the central shaft of the arbor; the machining tool shapes the spigot end.
5.1.1.2. Heating blanketHeating blankets are designed to cure adhesive bonded and laminate joints.
Blankets are made from a coiled resistance wire, which is sandwiched between two layers of silicon rubber.
To control the temperature, each blanket is furnished with a thermostat.
It is important to store the heating blanket properly in order to keep this tool in an optimal condition.
Heating blankets shall never be folded; these blankets may only be stored flat or rolled.

5.1.1.3. Pullers and band clampsPullers and band clamps are used to make Taper-Taper adhesive bonded joints, large diameter Conical-Cylindrical bonded joints and mechanical O-ring (lock) joints.
Band-clamps with pulling lugs must be applied at both pipe ends to be joined. The positions of the pulling lugs shall face each other.
The Taper-Taper joint must be kept under tension until curing of the adhesive is completed to avoid joint detachment.
Rubber protection pads are placed underneath the ratchets before tightening the band clamps. Put a wooden wedge between the pipe and the pulling lug to create a gap for mounting of the heating blanket.For bonding of large diameters 3 to 4 pullers are required. Check the pullers on defects on a regular base.
5.1.1.4 OthersOther non-consumables may be required such as:
• Airgun,gasburnerorfieldoven• Anglecutter,handsaworjigsaw• Pipefitterswrap-a-round• PiTape• Grindingtool• Insulationblankets• Digitaltemperaturegauge• Generator

5.2. Materials
5.2.1. AdhesiveDifferent types of adhesive are available depending on the application. Adhesive can be conductive or non-conductive.
An adhesive kit contains resin, hardener, mixing spatula and bonding instructions.Adhesive kits contain chemicals that are sensitive to temperature and moisture.
It is important to check the expiry date of the adhesive, which is printed on the package.Do not use adhesive or resin after indicated expiry date.
5.2.2. O-ringA rubber O-Ring provides sealing of the mechanical O-ring (lock) joint. Standard O-rings are made of Nitryl Butadiene Rubber (NBR).
Depending on the medium and/or temperature, other types of rubber can be supplied.
O-rings must be stored properly and flat, in a dry, cool and dark environment, free from dust and chemicals, which may attack the material.
Direct sunlight must be avoided.
5.2.3. Locking keyLocking keys block the longitudinal displacement of the spigot in the socket of a mechanical O-ring lock joint.Locking keys must be stored in a dry and cool location without direct exposure of sunlight. Improper storage may affect the mechanical properties negatively. For further details, reference is made to manufacturers’ detailed documentation.
5.3. Check of incoming material
5.3.1. Quality checkThe condition of containers, crates, boxes and pallets must be checked on possible damage upon arrival. If damage has occurred to any material package, the contents might be damaged too. Check pipes and fittings on impact damage. Materials and tooling must be dry at arrival.
The damaged state of materials and/or products when delivered must be reported and documented (e.g. clarified with pictures). Damaged materials shall be separated and quarantined from undamaged materials to avoid unintentional use.
5.3.2. Quantity checkCheck the delivered quantities and the reported quantities on the packaging list. The recipient is advised to check the contents of the deliveries.

6. Installation of underground pipe systemsGRE pipes are used for various applications in various soils conditions. Underground pipeline systems require accurate trench structuring, product assembly and installation.For detailed information about underground installation, reference is made to manufacturers’ documentation.
6.1. Trench constructionThe trench construction highly depends on the soil parameters, such as type, density and moisture content.The construction of the trench should comply with following requirements and recommendations:• Thetrenchshapeisdeterminedbytheclassificationof the soil, which can be unstable or stable• Topsidesofthetrenchmustbeclearedfromrocksor any other sharp/heavy materials• Thetrenchfoundationshallconsistofacompacted sand layer without stones or sharp objects• Loosenahardanduneventrenchfoundationinorderto prevent point loading• Keepthetrenchdryduringinstallation;ifnecessaryuse of a pumping system and drainage• Theminimumwidth(W)atthebottomofthetrenchfora single pipe shall be: W = 1.25 * OD + 300 mm• Thespacebetweenthepipeandthetrenchwallmust be 150 mm wider than the used compaction equipment• Respectingpipestiffness,operatingconditions,soil characteristics and wheel load the minimum burial depth is 0.8 m• Thecrownofthepipemustbeinstalledbelowfrostlevel
6.2. System assemblyThe assembly procedure of a piping system may vary per project. Generally, this procedure deals with positioning and joining of components in the plant.
6.2.1. Positioning components in the plantAfter positioning of the pipe system elements next to the trench, these components have to be handled into final position in the trench:• Smalldiameterpipesectionscanbeloweredmanually using ropes, slings or light lifting devices• Largediameterpipingrequiresheavierequipment during final positioning• Toavoiddamagetheminimumbendingradiusofapipe shall be respected• Avoidunwantedobjectsfallingintothetrenchduring lowering pipe sections• Usenylonslingbeltsorspecialdesignedequipment during product handling

6.3. BackfillingBackfilling shall be performed according standard procedures. Trench filling, proper compaction and stabilizing of the system shall be performed in accordance with the requirements.
6.3.1. Procedure and requirementsThe procedure and the requirements comprise:• Temporaryinstallationdevicesmustberemovedpriorto backfilling• Themaximumparticlesizeforpipezoneembedmentis related to the pipe diameter and is described in the backfill material specification• Dumpinglargequantitiesofbackfillmaterialatonespot on top of the pipe may cause damage; spread the applied backfill material• Backfillmaterialshallbecompactedinlayersof150 mm.

6.3.2. Backfill material specificationFor classification of various backfill materials and types of embedment, reference is made to AWWA Manual M45 or ASTM D 3839.
Note that highly plastic and organic soil materials are not suitable for backfilling and must be excluded from the pipe zone embedment.
6.3.3. Other backfilling methodsUse of the saturation method does not give any better result than the above-described method.
The grade of compaction is lost if compaction by saturation is performed after mechanical compaction. When saturating the trench, avoid floating of the pipeline as well as erosion of the side support. Do not backfill if the ground is already saturated.
The saturation method may only be used for free draining soils, when the drainage pumps are kept in operation and the pipe system is completely filled with liquid.
6.4. Special underground installationsRoad crossings and channel crossings demand particular attention and requirements.
6.4.1. Road crossingPrecautions shall be taken to protect pipes, which cross underneath roads against the possible consequences of traffic loads. Possible alternatives are:• Jacketpipe• Reliefplate• Burialdepth• Pipestiffness
6.4.1.1. Jacket pipeThe GRE pipe is nested in a jacket pipe. In order to avoid direct contact between both pipes, spacers centre the GRE pipe. These spacers also support the GRE pipe at a maximum distance of 3 m. The jacket pipe should be longer than the width of the road.
6.4.1.2. Relief platesRelief plates are used if pipes are installed at shallow depth in well compacted sandy soils or in case the soil- and traffic load cause an excessive loading or deformation of the GRE.The plate is specially designed and dimensioned to minimise the transfer of wheel load on the pipe.
6.4.1.3. Burial depthGenerally, the influence of the wheel load of traffic passing a buried pipe reduces with increasing burial depth.However, with increasing burial depth the soil load on the buried pipe increases. Our engineers may assist to determine an optimal solution.
6.4.1.4. Pipe stiffnessPipes with higher stiffness are better resistant to external loads due to traffic loads. Stiffness of pipe can be increased by increasing the wall thickness.
Fig. 6.9. Compaction of backfill material
Fig. 6.10. Jacket pipe at road crossing
Fig. 6.11. Relief plate
19
6.4.2. Channel crossingThe common method to install underwater mains is to assemble the pipe on the bank of the canal or river. The pipe can be lowered using a floating crane or other lifting equipment; care should be taken to ensure sufficient pipe supports.
The process starts by sealing the ends of the pipe and pulling the system into the water; the pipe keeps floating. Then, the pipe is filled and carefully sunk into its final position.
Flexible joints can be used for underwater piping if the installation is performed using a cofferdam construction; this makes the installation similar to an onshore assembly.
Note that underwater pipes should be covered sufficiently to prevent floating and damage (e.g. by anchors).
6.5. AlignmentUndulating land levels with minor difference in height can be followed by the flexibility of the system.Joints or pipe bending, if assessed by system design, ensures no lateral displacement while allowing angular deflection.
6.6. SettlementFlexible joints have to be installed in pairs; one joint is placed at the beginning of the deviation while the other is located at the end of this area, in order to create a rocker pipe. The rocker pipe will act as a hinge.
The longer the rocker pipe, the higher the loads on the joints. This can be avoided by adding more joints that are flexible. Based on the soil parameters, the number of joints is determined.
Note that the length of the sections shall be limited in order to avoid excessive bending which may result in failure of pipe or joint.The section length = ID + minimal 0.5 m. Mechanical O-ring joints shall be installed at both ends to accommodate further settlements.
6.7. Pipe cast in concreteIn some cases, pipe systems may be cast in concrete. Such applications require following:
• Donotpourconcretedirectlyontopipe• Thevibratingpokermustbekeptatleast300mmaway from the pipe• Thepipesystemmustbepressuretestedpriorto casting• Cradlesareprovidedwithsteelclampsandrubberlining in order to prevent floating• Bucklingofthepipeduringcastingcanbepreventedby pressurizing the system
Note that concrete shrinks when setting; this may result in extra loading of the GRE pipe system. Ensure that the allowable pressure is not exceeded by using pressure relief valves.

Aboveground pipe systems may be subjected to various loadings resulting from operation of the system.Next to the information in this section, reference is made to specific manufacturer’s documentation.
7.1. SupportsSupports not only provide system fixation, loading relief and clinching but also protection. Prior to installation, supports are checked for location, type and span as detailed in drawings and specifications of the project. Supports can be differentiated as fixed, guided sliding and free sliding supports.
7.1.1. GeneralFunctional pipe supporting can be obtained with the aid of system design analysis.Following aspects need to be respected:• Pipesrestingonsleepersaresuppliedwith180° saddles, which are bonded to the pipe at the support location to protect the pipe against wear damage from possible pipe movements• Thelengthofthewearsaddlemustbe50mmlonger than the calculated pipe displacement plus the support width• Allowpipeexpansionwithinaclamp• Inverticalpipeassemblies,thesocketsofO-ringjoints shall point downwards, so water cannot be trapped in the socket. Entrapped water in the socket may cause joint damage when freezing• Forclampdimensions,referenceismadeto manufacturers’ detailed documentation• MechanicalO-ringjointsrequireminimalonesupport per pipe length The distance of the support to the joint is maximal 20 % of the pipe length
7.1.2. Fixed support pointsFixed points may never be realized by tightening the bolts of the pipe clamps. This may lead to pipe deformations and excessive wall stresses.
Mind the following requirements for fixed points:• Fixationsaddlesshallbepositionedonbothsides, at the shoe side of the clamp• Laminatedfixationsaddlesshallbeappliedonboth sides of the clamp• Whenusingnon-restrainedjointingsystemseachpipe shall be fixed• Eachchangeofdirectioninanon-restrainedpipeline shall be anchored to prevent pipe joints coming apart• Checkwhetherthepositionsofpipesupportsarestillin accordance with the installation requirements after testing. The supporting elements might be dislocated due to test pressure
Note that the mechanical O-ring lock joints must be fully stretched to avoid movement of pipe sections and consequently possible overloading. For further details on this type of joint, reference is made to manufacturers’ documentation.

7.2. Pipe clampsVarious types of pipe supports are available.Following considerations must be respected:• Avoidpointloadsbyusingclampsmadeofflatstrips instead of U-bolts. The width of the strip is related to the pipe diameter. For large diameter pipe double clamps may be applied• Theinsideoftheclampisfurnishedwitharubberor cork liner to compensate the uneven pipe outer surface and to minimise abrasion due to pipe movement and vibration• Longitudinalmovementintheclampsisnotadvised. Generally, movement between the clamp shoe and the support structure shall realize sliding of supports
For detailed information on clamps, reference is made to manufacturers’ documentation.
7.3. ValvesTo avoid overstressing of pipes by the weight of valves or other heavy equipment it is advised to support pipe accessories on the flange bolts.
The load on the pipeline by operating the valve shall be carried by the support of the pipe structure. In case of a GRE flange mounted against a steel flange, the support is preferably fixed to the steel flange.

Fig. 7.7. Pipe clampFig. 7.5. Collars on both sides of the pipe clamp
Fig. 7.6. Fixed point with bonded saddles
22
7.4. BellowsGRE products can absorb low amplitude vibrations due to the flexible properties of the composite material.
To eliminate high amplitude vibrations caused by e.g. pumps and to compensate soil settlement or expansion of e.g. tanks joined with pipes, bellows can be applied.
Bellows facilitate dismantling of pipe sections, valves, orifice flanges and gaskets. This equipment also absorbs pipe movements due to cyclic pressure and/or temperature in pipe systems that are joined with relatively stiff adhesive bonded joints.
In many cases, bellows are directly joined to the vibrating item by means of flanges. Note that the pipe section next to the bellow shall be supported separately to absorb the pipe loads.
7.5. Pipe connections through wallsSeveral alternatives are available for passing pipes through walls. In case of anticipated settlement of the wall or pipeline, flexible couplings must be installed on both sides of the wall.The joints shall be positioned as close as possible outside the wall.
7.5.1. GRE pipe with sealing puddle flangeThe factory made puddle flange consists of a GRE ring, which is laminated on the pipe.
7.5.2. Sand coated GRE pipeA sand coating on a GRE pipe offers an excellent adhesion between concrete and GRE.
7.5.3. Link sealThis type of wall penetration consists of several linked rubber parts, which fit in the circular space between the outer surface of a GRE pipe and the diameter of a hole in a wall. A sufficiently smooth inner surface of the wall can be obtained by:• Mountingasteelpipesectionwithwatersealbefore pouring mortar• Drillingaholewithacrowndrillhavingdiamondinlays• Fixingaremovableplasticcasingpipesectionbefore pouring mortar
The rubber parts are linked together with bolts and form a rubber chain. The rubber sections are compressed by tightening the bolts.All components of the link seal can be made of various material qualities.
Link seals allow for some angular deflection and lateral movement. After having mounted the GRE pipe in the link seal the rubber elements are compressed by tightening the bolts evenly. The expanded rubber sections seal the room between GRE and concrete.

Fig. 7.11. Sand coated GRE pipe casted in concrete
Fig. 7.12. Sketch link seal
23
7.5.4. Special sealing shapeThis wall penetration consists of a steel pipe, which is provided with flanges. One of the flanges is profiled to fit a sealing element. By tightening the nuts, the seal is compressed in the annular space between the flange and the pipe and provides an excellent seal.
7.5.5. Plain wall passingWhen passing a pipe through a wall, the outer surface of the pipe must be protected with a flexible material, e.g. a 5 mm thick rubber layer, protruding 100 mm at both sides of the wall.
7.6. Joining with other materialsThe most appropriate method to join objects of different materials is by using a flange. A mechanical coupler might be an alternative. For details about these joints, reference is made to manufacturers’ documentation.
Flanges can be drilled according most of the relevant standards. When a flanged GRE pipe section is joined with a metal pipe section, the metal section must be anchored to avoid transmission of loads and displacements to the GRE pipe sections.
Instrument connections can be made using a saddle and a bushing.
7.7. UV-resistanceThe topcoat of GRE pipes and fittings consist of a resin rich layer. This layer offers sufficient protection against UV-radiation.
When exposed to weather conditions the epoxy topcoat may be attacked on the long term; this may result in a chalked outer surface.
After several years of operation, the chalked layer may be removed and replaced by a resistant, protective polyurethane paint coating. Contact the manufacturer for advice.

8. Quality Control / Quality Assurance8.1. GeneralTo assure good workmanship, only qualified and certified personnel shall be allowed to work on the installation of GRE pipeline systems.
Always strictly follow the installation manuals next to the necessary instruction guidelines. When making joints, it is necessary to execute the required steps in the correct sequence.
Never compromise on work quality and follow the instructions assigned from handling and storing through joining and installing GRE materials.
8.2. Joint traceabilityAs part of the quality control and on behalf of the traceability of adhesive bonded joint data, the following information should be registered during installation for each joint:1. Name or registration info of the pipe-fitter2. Joint identification (number)3. Start/end of the curing process4. Heat blanket identification (number)5. Identification (number) of adhesive batch6.

9. Field Test Procedure9.1. GeneralBefore the installed pipeline system is operational, the system has to be hydro tested to ensure the integrity and leak tightness. Hydro testing of the pipeline system will be performed in two steps:
1. Integrity test The test pressure shall be increased over an agreed duration at an agreed pressure level in order to prove the maximum pressure resistance of the system.2. Leak tightness test The test pressure shall be increased to an agreed pressure level at which the joints can be inspected visually
Pressure level and test duration can be stated in an Inspection and Test section of the Site Quality Plan.
All safety precautions must be applied. It is important to test the integrity of the system first, to avoid the risk of injury during visual inspection. All pressure gauges and pumps must be suitable and calibrated. Ensure that the pipeline can be vented and drained.The pressure gauge must be mounted between a valve and the pipeline system in order to indicate the test pressure in the GRE system after having closed the valve, which is mounted after the pump. Due to the head of water, the pressure gauge should be located at the lowest point in the system. The pressure gauge should have a maximum scale reading of approximately twice the test pressure.
If the system is not designed to withstand any negative pressure, which might occur during testing, then the system needs to be protected by an air release valve. Trapped air should be released by using vent(s).
The application of GRE pipeline systems may vary from long, (buried) line pipe applications to small skid piping systems.
Joint types might vary from laminate joints to mechanical joints with O-ring seal, with or without locking strip.
Each system requires its specific testing method. For each system, the test procedure has to be described in the Inspection and Testing Section of the Site Quality Plan. This Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) must be established before the project starts.
The advices for testing mentioned in the following paragraphs are for guidance only and are not mandatory.
26
9.2. PreparationPrior to hydro testing, the following issues shall be checked:• Allmaterialthatshouldnotbeontheinsideofthe pipeline system shall be removed• Alljoiningproceduresshallbecompleted• Trenchesshouldbepartiallybackfilledandcompacted; the joints should be left exposed• Allsupports,guides,and(temporary)anchorsshallbe in place and functional before pressurizing the system• Alltemporarysupportsandinstallationaidsshallbe removed• Unlessstatedotherwise,allvalvesshouldbethrough- body tested• Allcheckvalvesshallberemovedtoenablemonitoring of the full line• Flangeboltsshallbemadeuptothecorrecttorque• Buriedpipesystemsmustbebackfilledsufficientlyto restrain the system
9.3. Filling, stabilizing, testing and depressurizing
9.3.1. Filling and stabilizingFill the pipeline at the lowest point with water using a small diameter branch connection and vent the trapped air at the highest point(s) of the system. Long straight sections may be vented using an inflatable ball or foam pig to expel any air and impurities.
After filling, the line is pressurized gradually up to 0.8 * Design Pressure; the pressure shall be maintained for 24 hours in order to allow the system to set and the pressure to stabilise. For small above ground systems, it is allowed to reduce the stabilising time.
9.3.2. TestingOnce the pressure is stabilised, the integrity of the pipe system is tested first in accordance with agreements.
Depending on the system a pressure drop might occur. In all cases, leakage of joints, pipes or fittings is not allowed. For safety reasons, an inspection of the system because of a possible leakage is not permitted when the pipeline is loaded at integrity test pressure level. This has to be mentioned in the ITP.
When the integrity test has been completed successfully, depressurise the system to leak tightness test pressure level. Duration of the leak tightness test normally depends on the time needed to inspect all joints, pipes and fittings visually.
It is preferable to test the line in sections, for example the length of one-day installation. The line is temporarily closed using, e.g. a test plug and a flange at the end. The blind flange should be provided with an air release valve.
After testing of the installed section the test plug, needs to be pushed back about 2 meters by pressuring air via the air release valve. The excess water is released by opening the valve at the begin of the line. After securing of the test plug, e.g. by inflation, the temporary flange connection can be removed and the assembly may proceed.

Fig. 9.1. Various pipe pigs
27
The advantage of this method is that the test medium stays in the tested section and does not need to be re-filled for hydro testing of the next section.
Any leak caused by incorrect assembly of the joint can be detected easily. Extreme movements can be prevented by partially filling and compacting of the trench.Note that temperature changes over a 24 hours period will affect the pressure in a closed system.
A drop in pressure during the night does not always indicate that there is a leak in the system. When testing a system the ambient temperature should be measured.
GRE material behaves different from steel due to the low weight, the flexibility of the joint and elasticity of the material.In case of a failure during hydro testing, the line will move due to the sudden release of stored energy; there might be a risk of injury to personnel.Note that testing with air or gas is extremely dangerous and should be avoided. Systems shall never be tested with an inflammable fluid or gas.The manufacturer of GRE pipe systems does not take any responsibility for any damage resulting from the use of these methods.The following causes may affect pressure drop and consequently result in hydro test failures:
• Leakageofpipelineaccessories• Leakageofgaskets• Leakingjoints• Leakageofpipes
The system shall be considered to have passed the hydro test if there is no leaking of water from the piping at any location and there is no significant pressure loss that can be accounted for by usual engineering considerations.
9.3.3. DepressurisingDepressurisation of the system must be carried out carefully to avoid a negative pressure.
In the unlikely event, GRE pipes, joints and/or fittings may have to be repaired. Repair on the pipeline system shall be performed according described instructions.
10. RepairThe repair procedure shall be prepared and qualified by the contractor in accordance with the pipe manufacturer’s recommendations. It shall be demonstrated that the repair method restores the specified properties.
Leaks in pipe, fittings and joints are repaired by replacing the defective part. In some cases, especially for buried systems, insufficient space and/or difficult accessibility to pipes and fittings may occur.
Each application of a GRE pipe system and each type of product or design requires a different repair and/or replacement procedure.
For further details, reference is made to manufacturer’s documentation.

12. Safety precautionsThe following safety precautions should be respected when using GRE products. The required rescue and safety measures when using resin and hardener for adhesive or lamination sets are shown under the R- and S- code numbers which are listed in manufacturer’s documentation.
12.1. Resin, hardener, adhesive and lamination setsIn order to avoid irritation of the respiratory system, satisfactory ventilation should be provided. If a system is hydro tested, adequate safety precautions must be taken, as a “safe test pressure” does not exist. Any pressure in itself is dangerous.
Experienced personnel must operate the test equipment. Persons not involved in the test or inspection are not allowed in the immediate area of the tested system. Only one person should be in charge and everyone else must follow his/her instructions.
Do not change anything on the pipe system when it is under pressure. Leaking joints may only be repaired after the pressure has been fully released.
The test equipment must be installed at a safe distance from the connection to the pipe system.If welding needs to take place, the GRE material must be protected from hot works.
12.2. Cutting, shaving and sandingWhen cutting or grinding GRE materials the following personal protection is necessary to protect eyes and skin:• Adustmaskcoveringnoseandmouth• Apairofsafetygoggles• Glovesandoverall• Closeoverallsleeveswithadhesivetapetokeepthe dust out• Wearprotectiveclothingtoprotectthebody• Machiningshouldbecarriedinawell-ventilatedroomor in open air
12.3. EnvironmentAlways clean up the work area. GRE and cured adhesive are chemically inert and do not have to be treated as chemical waste. Waste shall always be disposed in an environment friendly manner.

Bondstrand® Pipe Shavers
Bondstrand pipe shavers are designed to prepare a spigot on the cut end of a Bondstrand pipe as described in the individual assembly instructions. Pipe is shipped from the factory with spigots, but when the pipe is cut to length on the job site, a spigot must be shaved for assembly to the bell end of another section of pipe, or to a fitting or coupling. Each shaver is centered and fixed on the end of the pipe by an expanding arbor. Arbors are available for each pipe size. The arbor slips in to the pipe and expands to grip the inside of the pipe when the tensioning bolt(s) is/are tightened. As the frame is rotated around the stationary center shaft, the cutting tool advances automaticially.

Electric Heating BlanketsHeat source for forced curing adhesive-bonded joints in Bondstrand GRE
Introduction
Bondstrand heating blankets are specially designed to heat cure adhesive-bonded joints in pipe and fittings. Requiring either 120 Volts or 230 Volts alternating current, the blankets are quickly and easily applied. They provide thermostatically controlled heat, ensuring maximum joint strength and reliability.
NOV Fiber Glass Systems supplies heating blankets for pipe sizes varying from 1 to 40 inch (25 -1000 mm) controlled by either one or two thermostats.There are two types of blankets, Type A and Type B.
Type A: Inner joint heating blanket for pipe sizes 1-3 inch (25-75 mm)This type of blanket is specially designed for curing bonded flange joints by inserting the pre-formed shape in to the pipe.
Type B: Single-zone heating blankets for pipe sizes 1-40 inch (25-1000 mm)This type of blanket is placed around or inside the bonded joint (with exception of 1“ through 3“ flange joints). Type B blankets are divided in the following diameter ranges: 1-2 inch (25-50 mm) 18-20 inch (450-500 mm) 3-4 inch (75-100 mm) 22-24 inch (550-600 mm) 6-8 inch (150-200 mm) 28-32 inch (700-800 mm) 10-12 inch (250-300 mm) 34-40 inch (850-1000 mm) 14-16 inch (350-400 mm)
Note: For sizes 28-32 inch (700-800 mm) and 34-40 inch (850-1000 mm) operating at 120 Volts two zone blankets are used.
Type A:1. Insert the blanket flush with the end of pipe after removal of excess adhesive from the joint and leave the power cord exposed from the joint;2. Ensure that the pre-formed blanket remains snugly against the inside joint surface by “locking” beginning and end with each other;3. At removal after the recommended curing time beware not to pull the blanket by power cord when fixed by excess adhesive;4. Release first before removal in order to avoid damage to the thermostat.
Type B:1. Place the thermostat end against the assembled joint with the thermostat facing out from the joint; 2. Wrap the remainder of the blanket around the joint so that any overlap will cover the thermostat;3. Tie the blanket in place with heat-resistant wire (copper, or soft iron). Flange mounting requires a special wrap.

QUICK GUIDE INTO ISO 14692
1. Introduction
The ISO (International Standards Organization) 14692 standard is an international
standard dealing with the qualification, manufacturing, design and installation of
GRE piping systems. This document gives a brief summary of the ISO 14692 standard only
and is not intended to replace the ISO 14692 standard.

To ensure a trouble free GRE piping system, three major
important conditions must be met:
1.Use qualified products
2.Proper system design
3. Install according to manufacturers standards and
guidelines
The above mentioned three points are addressed in the
ISO 14692 Standard in Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4, respectively.

2. What is ISO 14692?
ISO 14692, is an international standard dealing with the
qualification of fittings, joints and pipes for certain applications.
It describes how to qualify and manufacture GRP/GRE pipe
and fittings, how to conduct system design and finally it gives
guidelines for fabrication, installation and operation.
The ISO 14692 consists of 4 parts:
Part 1: Vocabulary, symbols, applications and materials
Part 2: Qualification and manufacture
Part 3: System design
Part 4: Fabrication, installation and operation
ISO 14692-2, ISO 14692-3, ISO 14692-4, follow each
individual phase in the life cycle of a GRP/GRE piping system,
i.e. from design through manufacture to operation. Each part is
therefore aimed at the relevant parties involved in that
particular case. It is primarily intended for offshore applications
on both fixed and floating topsides facilities, but may also be
used as guidance for the specification, manufacture, testing
and installation of GRP/GRE piping systems in other similar
applications found onshore.
NOV Fiber Glass Systems has obtained a Design Examination
Statement from DNV. This examination statement consists of
a combination of two specifications namely: ISO 14692 and
AWWA M45. ISO 14692 covers the design of suspended pipe
systems and the qualification of GRP/GRE products, AWWA
M45 covers the design and installation of buried pipe systems.
Together these specifications cover all design and installation
aspects. In cases where the specifications conflict, the ISO
14692 supersedes the AWWA. Therefore, on the basis of this
design examination statement, the scope can include both
applications of GRP/GRE piping systems onshore (buried and
suspended).
Main users of the ISO 14692 document are: governments,
end users, engineering companies, inspection companies,
manufacturers, installers.
The advantages of the ISO 14692 standard are:
- Standardizing principles, norms, working methods
- Allows everybody to have the same understanding
- Main engineering and installation of GRP/GRE issues are
handled
- Accepted by all engineering companies, third party
inspection companies and governments
- Accepted in Europe by convention of Vienna and equal to
CEN-standards
- Everybody speaks the same language
The disadvantages of the ISO 14692 standard are:
- Needs thorough studying, the standard is certainly difficult
- For qualification, expensive tests are required
- Expensive quality control requirements
Photo 1. Platform under construction
3. Part 1: Vocabulary, symbols, applications and materials
The first part of the ISO 14692 gives the terms, definitions and
symbols used.
A few examples of common used abbreviations are given:
• Composite pipe = pipe manufactured using fiber reinforced
thermoset plastics
• GRP = Glass Reinforced Plastics
• GRE = Glass Reinforced Epoxy
• Lower confidence limit, LCL = 97.5% confidence limit of the
long-term hydrostatic pressure or stress based on a 20-year
lifetime.
• Jet fire = turbulent diffusion flame resulting from the
combustion of a fuel continuously released with significant
momentum in a particular range of directions
• Impregnate = saturate the reinforcement with a resin
• LTHP = extrapolated long-term mean static failure pressure
of a component with free ends based on a 20-year lifetime
• Part factor f1 = ratio of the 97,5% confidence limit of the
LTHP to the mean value of LTHP
• Part factor f2 = derating factor related to confidence in the
pipe work system, the nature of the application and the
consequence of failure
• Part factor f3 = factor that takes account of
non-pressure-related axial loads, e.g. bending
Furthermore, some general applications for GRP/GRE piping
are given.
4. Part 2: Qualification of components
Part 2 of the standard gives requirements for the qualification
and manufacture of GRP/GRE piping and fittings.
4.1 Wall thickness limitationsThe structural calculations given in this part of ISO 14692 are
only valid for thickness-to-diameter ratios that are in accor-
dance with Equation (1).
( tr / D ) ≤ 0,1
where tr is the average reinforced thickness of the wall, in
millimetres, i.e. excluding liner and added
thickness for fire protection;
D is the mean diameter, in millimetres, of the
structural portion of the wall.
In order to provide sufficient robustness during handling and
installation, the minimum total wall thickness, tmin, of all
components shall be defined as:
For Di ≥ 100 mm: tmin ≥ 3 mm
For Di < 100 mm: ( tmin / Di ) ≥ 0,025 mm
where Di is the internal diameter of the reinforced wall of the
componet, in millimetres.
For more onerous apllications, for example offshore,
consideration should be given to increasing the minmum wall
thickness to 5 mm.
The minimum wall thickness of the pipe at the joint, i.e. at the
location of the O-ring or locking-strip groove, shall be at least
the minmum thickness used for the qualified pipe body.
Depending on location, the system design pressure and other
design factors can significantly increase the required wall
thickness.
4.2 Qualification programAn extensive qualification program is required to determine
the performance of the GRP/GRE components with respect to
pressure, temperature, chemical resistance, fire performance,
electrostatic performance, impact etc.
What has to be done to qualify a GRP/GRE piping system?
For each product family (component type), a full regression
line according ASTM D-2992 must be determined (witnessed
by third party for example: DNV, Bureau Veritas). The test
Figure 2. Regression curve
3
consists of at least 18 samples. The test pieces are plain end.
The test setup is a closed end pressure vessel. Samples are
subject to different pressures and held at pressure until failure.
The test medium is water at 65 degrees C. The required failure
mode is weeping.
The failures shall be in different decades of the log-log plot of
time vs. stress. Figure 2 gives an example of a regression line.

Photo 2. Spool for 1000 hrs testing
Photo 3. Overview of elbows needed for qualification up to 8 inch
Each product family (pipe, elbow, reducer, tee, flange) is
divided into product sectors. Two representative samples,
usually the largest diameter and highest pressure class,
from each product sector are taken and fully tested according
ASTM 1598 (1000 hrs at 65 C). The test medium is water. The
representative samples are called the product sector
representatives.
For calculation of the test pressure, the regression line of the
pipe or the fitting is used. In absence of a regression line, a
default value can be obtained from a table given. For details on
the calculation see the ISO document. In general the 1000 hr
test is performed at about 2.5 to 3 times the design pressure.
So a 20 bar system is tested around 50 to 60 bar.
A product sector contains all the items within its diameter and
pressure range, the so called component variants. Component
variants are qualified by either two 1000 hr tests or through the
scaling method.
For quality control, short term tests could be performed, if
required and agreed with the principle. These are done to
establish a baseline value for quality control.
Other aspects to be considered are: the glass transition
temperature, the glass resin ratio and component dimensions.
These have to be determined from the replicate samples and
used by quality control during production as base line values.
4.3 Fire performanceIf required, fire testing shall be conducted on each piping
material system. The performance of the piping system shall
be qualified in accordance with the ISO procedure and a
classification code shall be assigned.

5. Part 3: System design
5.1 Introduction/abstractThe design guidelines are handled in part 3 of ISO 14692. The
designer shall evaluate system layout requirements such as:
• Space requirement (fitting dimensions)
• Piping system support
• Vulnerability
• The effect of fire (incl. blast) on the layout requirements
should be considered
• Control of electrostatic discharge (depending on service
and location)
5.2 Layout requirementsIn general the same types of fittings available in steel are also
available. Note that the dimensions of some GRP/GRE fittings
can be larger compared to steel fittings.
5.3 Support distanceRecommendations for system support:
• Supports spaced to limit sag (< 12.5 mm)
• Valves and heavy equipment to be supported
independently
• In general, connections to metallic piping systems shall be
anchored
• Do not use GRP/GRE piping to support other piping
• Use the flexibility of the material to accommodate axial
ex pansion, provided the system is well anchored and
guided
5.4 Hydraulic designThe aim of hydraulic design is to ensure that GRP/GRE piping
systems are capable of transporting the specified fluid at the
specified rate, pressure and temperature throughout their
intended service life.
Factors that limit the velocity are:
• Unacceptable pressure losses
• Prevention of water hammer
• Prevent cavitation
• Reduction of erosion
• Reduction of noise
• Pipe diameter and geometry (inertia loading)
Fluid velocity, fluid density, interior surface roughness of pipe
and fittings, pipe length, inside diameter as well as resistance
from valves and fittings shall be taken into account when
estimating pressure losses. The smooth surface of the
GRP/GRE pipe may result in lower pressure losses compared
to metal pipe.
A full hydraulic surge analysis shall be carried out if pressure
transients are expected. The analysis shall cover all anticipated
operating conditions including priming, actuated valves, pump
testing, wash-down hoses, etc.

5.5 Structural designThe aim of structural design is to ensure that GRP/GRE piping
systems shall sustain all stresses and deformations during
construction/installation and throughout the service life.
Piping system design shall represent the most severe
conditions experienced during installation and service life.
Designers shall consider loads given in table 1 in the
ISO document.
Sustained loads:
• Pressure (internal, external, vacuum, hydro-test)
• Mass (self-mass, medium, insulation, etc)
• Thermal induced loads
• Soil loads and soil subsidence
Occasional loads:
• Earthquake
• Wind
• Water hammer
The sum of all hoop stresses and the sum of all axial stresses
in any component in the piping system shall lie within the
long-term design envelope.
5.5.1 Determination of the failure envelope and the long-term design envelopeIn the ISO14692 document, an algorithm is given how to
determine the failure envelope and how the long term
design envelope is developed.
• Determine the short term failure envelope (1 or 2)
• The idealized long term failure envelope (3) is
geometrically similar to the short term envelope with all
data points being scaled. This scaling factor (fscale) is
derived using the long term regression line
• The non factored long term design envelope (4) is based
on the idealized long term envelope multiplied by the part
factor f2
• The factored long term design envelope (5) is derived
by multiplication with A1, A2 and A3, where A1 is the
de-rating factor for temperature, A2 is the de-rating factor
for chemical resistance and A3 is the de-rating factor for
cyclic service
Figure 3. Allowable stress curve
5.6 Stress analysisManual or computer methods can be used for structural
analysis of piping systems.
Caesar II (by Coade) is commonly used to perform stress and
flexibility analysis. The piping system can be evaluated for
several load-cases. Load-cases can be setup from
combinations of pressure, temperature, weight, wind load,
displacement, earthquake etc. With the calculation output,
the stresses in the piping system, the displacement, the loads
on the support, the load on equipment nozzles etc., can be
checked.

5.7 Fire performanceThe fire performance requirements of the piping system shall
be determined.
Fire performance is characterized in two properties:
• Fire endurance (ability to continue to perform during fire)
• Fire reaction (ignition time, flame spread, smoke and heat
release, toxicity)
If piping cannot satisfy the required fire properties, the
following shall be considered:
• Rerouting of piping
• Use alternative materials
• Apply suitable fire-protective coating
5.8 Static electricityThe use of a conductive piping system might be considered in
case the GRP/GRE piping system is running in a hazardous
area or if the pipe is carrying fluids capable of generating
electrostatic charges.

6. Part 4: Fabrication, installation and operation
6.1 IntroductionPart 4 of ISO 14692 gives requirements and recommen dations
for fabrication, installation and operation of GRP/GRE pipe
systems.
Past experience with GRP/GRE projects shows that a great
deal of the problems that occur are associated with bad
fabrication and installation.
A highly recommended approach to a successful installation is
to order the piping system as a set of pre-fabricated spools, to
the maximum extent possible. This will reduce the possibility of
poor fabrications or repairs at a very late and potentially costly
stage of the project.

6.2 Fabrication and installationWhat further can be done to prevent site problems?
6.2.1 InspectionIt starts with checking the incoming goods
• Check supplied quantity
• Check nominal dimensions of supplied material
• Check supplied pressures class
• Perform a visual control of supplied material (transport
damage, impact)
• Check if storage is correct
• Check availability of documentation (packing lists,
certification)
Handling and storage of the incoming goods
• Use the NOV Fiber Glass Systems lifting, loading and
unloading procedure
• Storage. Pay attention to the stacking of the pipe; support
width and stacking height, end protection of pipe and fittings
• Preferably, pipe should be transported in containers or
crates
• Pipe spools. Take care that impact damage is prevented
by proper packaging and use of protection material. In all
cases pipe spools should not be stacked
• Adhesives. Check recommended storage temperatures
• O-rings, gaskets etc. shall be stored in a cool place, free
from UV radiation, chemicals etc
6.2.2 Installer requirementsWhen site fabrication is needed, all GRP/GRE components shall
be installed by qualified GRP/GRE pipe fitters and thereafter
approved by a qualified GRP/GRE piping inspector.
Definitions:Pipe fitter
Person working for a contractor who is responsible for the
construction of the GRP/GRE pipe system. He must be able to
make the relevant joint types according NOV Fiber Glass
Systems procedures. This certificate can be compared to a
welder’s certificate.
Supervisor
Person who is responsible for the quality of the installation and
is able to check the quality of the work done by the pipe fitters.
This person is normally employed by the responsible
contractor, for example as a foreman. This certificate is a
personal certificate.
QA/QC Inspector
Person who is able to check and judge the work of contractor
and is able to globally verify the soundness of the installation.
This includes lay-out related matters such as support
construction and location, flange connections etc. Can be
employed by client, contractor, third party (BV, DNV, Lloyds).
This certificate is a personal certificate.
Photo 6. Typical work of a GRE pipe fitter
Training of pipe fitter
• The quality of the joints is mainly dependent on
craftsmanship of the pipe fitter. Therefore, ISO 14692 demands
that the qualification organization is independent of the
organization that carries out the training. In the case of NOV
Fiber Glass Systems, the independent organization is DNV.
The training consists of a theoretical and a practical part
• The theoretical part will end with a written exam for which a
70% pass mark is required. The practical part will end with
making a joint that will be hydro-tested according the
requirements of the ISO 14692. These tests are witnessed
by a third party. When passing both exams the pipe fitter
will receive a pipe fitter certificate issued by DNV
• The purpose of the entire training is to teach the pipe fitter
those things he or she can have influence on
Training of Supervisor - QA/QC inspector
• NOV Fiber Glass Systems and DNV are developing an
individual certification for Supervisor - QA/QC inspector based
on ISO 14692 requirements. The objective is to train
Supervisor - QA/QC inspectors on aspects like storage,
inspection of pipes and fittings, supporting, jointing, hydro
testing etc. etc. in such a way that they can act as Supervisor -
QA/QC inspector on a GRE pre-fabrication and installation job.
An important factor is that they also learn what can go wrong.
The educating company will be NOV Fiber Glass Systems, as
they have in contrast to most institutes a large knowledge,
obtained over decades, in this particular area. The examina-
tion committee will be DNV. The certificate that can be
obtained will be a personal certificate
6.2.3 Installation methodsInstallation method shall be according manufacturers approved
installation manual.
Supporting
• Follow the installation guides from the Manufacturer
• Other guidelines not different from the NOV Fiber Glass
Systems procedures are given in the ISO 14692
Installation
General requirements are given in ISO 14692 for the
installation of GRP/GRE components such as bending,
bolt-torquing, tolerances, earthing of conductive piping, joint
selection, quality control, etc.
The most important point is that all piping shall be installed so
that they are stress-free.
Quality program for installation
The contractor shall maintain a high level of inspection to ensure
compliance with all requirements. The contractor shall designate
one individual to be responsible for quality control throughout
the installation.
Record of following items shall be made:
starting and end time of the curing process; pipe fitter nr.; batch
number of the adhesive and heating blanket; measured tempera-
ture of the heating blanket; ambient temperature, date, joint num-
ber, relative humidity.
6.2.4 System testingAll GRP/GRE piping systems shall be hydrostatically pressure
tested after installation. Water shall be used as a test medium.
6.2.5 Visual inspectionVisual inspection shall be carried out on all joints and surfaces.
Possible defects, along with acceptance criteria and corrective
actions, are given in the ISO document.
E.g.:
• Impact > replace (major defect) or repair (minor defect)
• Misaligned joints > replace components (major defect)
remake joint (minor defect)

6.3 Maintenance and repair
GRP/GRE pipes are generally maintenance free, but the
following points shall be given attention during inspection and
are addressed in the ISO document:
• Removal of scale and blockages
• Electrical conductivity
• Surface and mechanical damage
• Chalking, ageing and erosion
• Flange cracks and leaks
Repair shall be in accordance with manufacturers procedures.

7. Conclusion
ISO 14692 is a worldwide accepted standard for the
manufacturing, qualification, design and installation of
GRP/GRE piping systems.
When the guidelines laid down in the ISO 14692 standard are
followed, it will result in a trouble-free pipe system.
8. ISO in brief
ISO is a global network that identifies what international
standards are required by business, government and society,
develops them in partnership with the sectors that will put them
in use, adopts them by transparent procedures based on
national input and delivers them to be implemented worldwide.
ISO standards distill an international consensus from the
broadest possible base of stakeholder groups. Expert input
comes from those closest to the need for the standards and
also those responsible for implementing them. In this way,
although voluntary, ISO standards are widely respected and
accepted by public and private sectors internationally.
ISO is a non-governmental organization. It is a federation of
national standards bodies from over 149 countries, one per
country, from all regions of the world.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose1.1.1 The International Maritime Organization recognizesthat there is increasing interest within the marine industryto use materials other than steel for pipes and that thereare no specific requirements for plastic pipes in existingregulations.
1.1.2 These guidelines provide acceptance criteria forplastic materials in piping systems to assist maritimeAdministrations to determine, in a rational and uniform way,the permitted applications for such materials. Theseguidelines give appropriate design and installationrequirements and, for each application, fire testingperformance criteria necessary to ensure that vessel safetyis adequately addressed.
1.1.3 Within the framework of these guidelines, there isfreedom to permit development of international andnational standards, and allow the natural development ofemerging technology.
1.2 Scope1.2.1 The status of these guidelines is advisory. Theyare intended to cover the design and installation of plasticpipes, both with and without reinforcement, in eitheressential or non-essential systems, inboard of the shipsidevalves.
1.2.2 These guidelines are intended to comply withexisting SOLAS regulations, MSC circulars, or other equi-valent international criteria.
1.2.3 These guidelines are applicable to rigid pipes only.The use of flexible pipes and hoses and mechanicalcouplings which are accepted for use in metallic pipingsystems is not addressed.
1.3 Philosophy and contents1.3.1 The International Convention for the Safety of Lifeat Sea (SOLAS 74), as amended, specifies steel shouldbe used in some cases, but in other instances it is clearthat materials other than steel are anticipated, subject tothe Administration’s acceptance. Guidelines to enableAdministrations to make decisions on the use of plasticpiping, and the possibility of extending its application, aretherefore needed.
1.3.2 Certain material design properties and performancecriteria are common to all piping systems, regardless ofsystem or location, and these are addressed in section2.1.
1.3.3 Section 2.2 addresses fire safety aspects andprovides specific requirements applicable to pipingsystems depending on service and/or locations.
1.3.4 Section 3 addresses material approval andprescribes certain controls during manufacture of pipingthat should be considered in order to ensure the propermechanical and physical characteristics.
1.3.5 Shipboard piping should be properly installed andtested to ensure the degree of safety necessary. Section4 addresses these concerns, and incorporates MSC/Circ.449 “Guidance on installation of fibre glass reinforced pipeand fittings”.1.3.6 The fire test methods and the fire endurancerequirements matrix, referenced in section 2.2, are givenin appendices I to IV.
1.4 Definitions1.4.1 Plastic(s) as used in these guidelines refers to boththermoplastic and thermosetting plastic materials, with orwithout reinforcement, such as uPVC and fibre reinforcedplastics - FRP.
1.4.2 Piping/Piping systems - The terms piping and pipingsystems include the pipe, fittings, system joints, methodof joining and any internal or external liners, coverings andcoatings required to comply with the performance criteria.For example, if the basic material needs a fire protectivecoating to comply with the fire endurance requirements,then the piping should be manufactured and tested withboth the basic material and coating attached and submittedto the Administration for approval as a material system.
1.4.3 Joint - The term joint refers to the permanentmethod of joining pipes by adhesive bonding, laminating,welding, etc.
1.4.4 Fittings - The term fittings refers to bends, elbows,fabricated branch pieces, etc., of plastic material.
2. MATERIAL DESIGN PROPERTIES ANDPERFORMANCE CRITERIA2.1 Requirements applicable to all piping systems2.1.1 General2.1.1.1 The requirements of this section apply to all pipingand piping systems independent of service or location.
2.1.1.2 The specification of the piping should be to arecognized standard acceptable to the Administration andshould meet the additional performance guidelines thatfollow.
2.1.1.3 The piping should have sufficient strength to takeaccount of the most severe coincident conditions ofpressure, temperature, the weight of the piping itself andany static and dynamic loads imposed by the design orenvironment.
2.1.1.4 For the purpose of assuring adequate robustnessfor all piping including open ended piping (e.g. overflows,vents and open-ended drains), all pipes should have aminimum wall thickness to ensure adequate strength foruse on board ships, also to withstand loads due totransportation, handling, personnel traffic, etc. This mayrequire the pipe to have additional thickness than otherwiserequired by service considerations.

W/0322a
2.1.1.5 The performance requirements for any componentof a piping system such as fittings, joints, and method ofjoining are the same as those requirements for the pipingsystem they are installed in.
2.1.2 Internal pressure2.1.2.1 A piping system should be designed for an internalpressure not less than the maximum working pressure tobe expected under operating conditions or the highest setpressure of any safety valve or pressure relief device onthe system, if fitted.2.1.2.2 The nominal internal pressure for a pipe shouldbe determined by dividing the short-term hydrostatic testfailure pressure by a safety factor of 4 or the long-termhydrostatic (>100.000 h) test failure pressure by a safetyfactor of 2.5, whichever is the lesser. The hydrostatic testfailure pressure should be verified experimentally or by acombination of testing and calculation methods to thesatisfaction of the Administration.
2.1.3 External pressure2.1.3.1External pressure should be taken into account inthe design of piping for any installation which may be sub-ject to vacuum conditions inside the pipe or a head of liquidacting on the outside of the pipe.
2.1.3.2Piping should be designed for an external pressurenot less than the sum of the maximum potential head ofliquid outside the pipe, plus full vacuum (1 bar). Thenominal external pressure for a pipe should be determinedby dividing the collapse test pressure by a safety factor of3. The collapse test pressure should be verifiedexperimentally or by a combination of testing andcalculation methods to the satisfaction of theAdministration.
2.1.4 Axial strength2.1.4.1The sum of the longitudinal stresses due topressure, weight and other dynamic and sustained loadsshould not exceed the allowable stress in the longitudinaldirection. Forces due to thermal expansion, contractionand external loads, where applicable, should be consideredwhen determining longitudinal stresses in the system.
2.1.4.2In the case of fibre reinforced plastic pipes, the sumof the longitudinal stresses should not exceed half of thenominal circumferentional stress derived from the nominalinternal pressure determined according to paragraph2.1.2.2, unless the minimum allowable longitudinal stressis verified experimentally or by a combination of testingand calculation methods to the satisfaction of theAdministration.
2.1.5 Temperature2.1.5.1Piping should meet the design requirements ofthese guidelines over the range of service temperatures itwill experience.
2.1.5.2High temperature limits and pressure reductionsrelative to nominal pressures should be according to therecognized standard, but in each case, the maximum
working temperature should be at least 20°C lower thanthe minimum heat distortion temperature (determinedaccording to ISO 75 method A, or equivalent) of the resinor plastic material. The minimum heat distortion
temperature should not be less than 80°C.
2.1.5.3 Where low temperature services are considered,special attention should be paid to material properties.
2.1.6 Impact resistance2.1.6.1Piping should have a minimum resistance to im-pact to the satisfaction of the Administration.
2.1.7 Ageing2.1.7.1Before selection of a piping material, themanufacturer should confirm that the environmental effectsincluding but not limited to ultraviolet rays, saltwaterexposure, oil and grease exposure, temperature, andhumidity, will not degrade the mechanical and physicalproperties of the piping material below the valuesnecessary to meet these guidelines. The manufacturershould establish material ageing characteristics bysubjecting samples of piping to an ageing test acceptableto the Administration and then confirming its physical andmechanical properties by the performance criteria in theseguidelines.
2.1.8 Fatigue2.1.8.1In cases where design loadings incorporate a sig-nificant cyclic or fluctuating component, fatigue should beconsidered in the material selection process and takeninto account in the installation design.
2.1.8.2In addressing material fatigue, the designer mayrely on experience with similar materials in similar serviceor on laboratory evaluation of mechanical test specimens.However, the designer is cautioned that small changes inthe material composition may significantly affect fatiguebehaviour.
2.1.9 Erosion resistance2.1.9.1In the cases where fluid in the system has highflow velocities, abrasive characteristics or where there areflow path discontinuities producing excessive turbulencethe possible effect of erosion should be considered. Iferosion cannot be avoided then adequate measures shouldbe taken such as increased wall thickness, special liners,change of materials, etc.
2.1.10 Fluid absorption2.1.10.1 Absorption of fluid by the piping materialshould not cause a reduction of mechanical and physicalproperties of the material below that required by theseguidelines.2.1.10.2 The fluid being carried or in which the pipeis immersed should not permeate through the wall of thepipe. Testing for fluid absorption characteristics of the pipematerial should be to a recognized standard.
2.1.11 Material compatibility2.1.11.1 The piping material should be compatible

with the fluid being carried or in which it is immersed suchthat its design strength does not degenerate below thatrecognized by these guidelines. Where the reaction bet-ween the pipe material and the fluid is unknown, thecompatibility should be demonstrated to the satisfactionof the Administration.
2.2 Requirements applicable to piping systemsdepending on service and/or locations2.2.1 Fire endurance2.2.1.1General
Pipes and their associated fittings whose functionsor integrity are essential to the safety of ships are requiredto meet the minimum fire endurance requirements givenbelow.
2.2.1.2Fire endurance requirementsThe fire endurance of a piping system is the
capability to maintain its strength and integrity (i.e. capableof performing its intended function) for some predeterminedperiod of time, while exposed to fire that reflects anticipatedconditions. Three different levels of fire endurance for plas-tic are given. These levels consider the different severityof consequences resulting from the loss of system integrityfor the various applications and locations. The highest fireendurance standard (level 1) will ensure the integrity ofthe system during a full scale hydrocarbon fire and isparticularly applicable to systems where loss of integritymay cause outflow of flammable liquids and worsen thefire situation. The intermediate fire endurance standard(level 2) intends to ensure the availability of systemsessential to the safe operation of the ship, after a fire ofshort duration, allowing the system to be restored afterthe fire has been extinguished. The lowest level (level 3) isconsidered to provide the fire endurance necessary for awater filled piping system to survive a local fire of shortduration. The system’s functions should be capable ofbeing restored, after the fire has been extinguished.
2.2.1.2.1 Level 1 - piping systems essential to thesafety of the ship and those systems outside machineryspaces where the loss of integrity may cause outflow offlammable fluid and worsen the fire situation should bedesigned to endure a fully developed hydrocarbon fire fora long duration without loss of integrity under dryconditions. Piping having passed the fire endurance testmethod specified in appendix 1 for a duration of a mini-mum of one hour without loss of integrity in the dry conditionis considered to meet level 1 fire endurance standard.
2.2.1.2.2 Level 2 - piping systems essential to the safeoperation of the ship should be designed to endure a firewithout loss of the capability to restore the system functionafter the fire has been extinguished. Piping having passedthe fire endurance test specified in appendix 1 for a durationof a minimum of 30 min in the dry condition is consideredto meet level 2 fire endurance standard.
2.2.1.2.3 Level 3 - piping systems essential to the safeoperating of the ship should be designed to endure a firewithout loss of the capability to restore the system function
after the fire has been extinguished. Piping having passedthe fire endurance test specified in appendix 2 for a durationof a minimum of 30 minutes in the wet condition isconsidered to meet level 3 fire endurance standard.
2.2.1.3 System/location matrix2.2.1.3.1 The matrix in appendix 4 establishes fireendurance requirements, which are system and locationdependent, that pipe materials installed in a specific systemand location should possess to meet accepted minimumlevels of safety.
2.2.1.3.2 Where, according to the matrix, remotelyclosed valves are required when permitting the use of plas-tic piping, the remote operation system should be designedsuch that its function will not be inhibited after beingexposed to an equivalent level 1 fire endurance test.Remote operation is defined as an accessible, safe locationoutside the space in which the valves are installed. In thecase of valves on the main deck of a tanker, remoteoperation should be from outside the cargo block.
2.2.1.3.3 Where the matrix stipulates endurance le-vel L2, pipes of endurance level L1 may also be used.Similarly, where the matrix stipulates endurance level L3,pipes of endurance level L2 and L1 may be used.
2.2.2 Flame spread2.2.2.1All pipes, except those fitted on open decks andwithin tanks, cofferdams, void spaces, pipe tunnels andducts should have low flame spread characteristics asdetermined by the test procedures given in resolutionA.653(16) as modified for pipes.
2.2.2.2In resolution A.653(16) the test sampleconfiguration only considers flat surfaces. Proceduremodifications to A.653(16) are necessary due to thecurvilinear pipe surfaces. These procedure modificationsare listed in appendix 3.
2.2.2.3Piping materials giving average values for all of thesurface flammability criteria not exceeding the values listedin IMO resolution A.653(16), (Surface flammability crite-ria, bulkhead, wall and ceiling linings) are considered tomeet the requirements for low flame spread inaccommodation, service and control spaces. In other areasor where the quantity of pipes is small, the Administrationmay allow equivalent acceptance criteria.
2.2.3 Smoke generation2.2.3.1Criteria for smoke production need only be appliedto pipes within the accommodation, service, and controlspaces. SOLAS regulations II-2/34.7 and 49.2 areapplicable to exposed interior surfaces which areinterpreted as including the surface finish of pipingsystems.
2.2.3.2A fire test procedure is being developed and whenfinalized and appropriate smoke obscuration criteria havebeen recommended, this test will be incorporated intothese guidelines. In the meantime, an absence of this test
6
A 18/Res.753
W/0322a
need not preclude the use of plastics. However,Administrations should consider this hazard whenapproving piping materials.
2.2.4 Toxicity2.2.4.1Toxicity testing is still being investigated and crite-ria developed. Before meaningful conclusions can bemade, further experimentation and testing is needed. Inthe absence of a toxicity test, the use of plastics need notbe precluded. However, Administrations should considerthis hazard when approving piping materials.
2.2.5 Electrical conductivity2.2.5.1Electrostatic charges can be generated on theinside and outside of plastic pipes. The resulting sparkscan create punctures through pipe walls leading to leakageof pipe contents, or can ignite surrounding explosiveatmospheres. Administrations should consider thesehazards when approving plastic piping systems carryingfluids capable of generating electrostatic charges (staticaccumulators) inside the pipe, and when approving plas-tic piping systems in hazardous areas (i.e. areas that could,either in normal or fault conditions, contain an explosiveatmosphere), for the possibility of electrostatic chargesoutside the pipe.
2.2.5.2. In practice, fluids with conductivity less than1,000 pico siemens per metre (pS/m) are considered tobe non-conductive and therefore capable of generatingelectrostatic charges. Refined products and distillates fallinto this category and piping used to convey these liquidsshould therefore be electrically conductive. Fluids withconductivity greater than 1,000 pS/m are considered tobe static non-accumulators and can therefore be conveyedthrough pipes not having special conductive propertieswhen located in non hazardous areas.
2.2.5.3Regardless of the fluid being conveyed, plasticpiping should be electrically conductive if the piping pas-ses through a hazardous area.
2.2.5.4Where conductive piping is required, the resistanceper unit length of the pipe, bends, elbows, fabricated branchpieces, etc., shout not exceed 1 x 105Ohm/m and theresistance to earth from any point in the piping systemshould not exceed 1 x 106Ohm. It is preferred that pipesand fittings be homogeneously conductive. Pipes andfittings having conductive layers may be accepted subjectto the arrangements for minimizing the possibility of sparkdamage to the pipe wall being satisfactory. Satisfactoryearthing should be provided.
2.2.5.5After completion of the installation, the resistanceto earth should be verified. Earthing wires should beaccessible for inspection.
2.2.6 Fire protection coatings2.2.6.1Where a fire protective coating of pipes and fittingsis necessary for achieving the fire endurance standardsrequired, the following requirements apply:
2.2.6.1.1 Pipes should be delivered from the
manufacturer with the protective coating on in which caseon-site application of protection would be limited to whatis necessary for installation purposes (e.g. joints).Alternatively pipes may be coated on site in accordancewith the approved procedure for each combination, usingthe approved materials of both pipes and insulations.
2.2.6.1.2 The liquid absorption properties of thecoating and piping should be considered. The fireprotection properties of the coating should not bediminished when exposed to saltwater, oil or bilge slops.The Administration should be satisfied that the coating isresistant to products likely to come in contact with thepiping.
2.2.6.1.3 Fire protection coatings should not degradedue to environmental effects over time, such as ultravioletrays, saltwater exposure, temperature and humidity. Otherareas to consider are thermal expansion, resistanceagainst vibrations, and elasticity. Ageing of the fireprotection coatings should be demonstrated to thesatisfaction of the Administration in a manner consistentwith the ageing test specified above.
2.2.6.1.4 The adhesion qualities of the coating shouldbe such that the coating does not flake, chip, or powder,when subjected to an adhesion test acceptable to theAdministration.
2.2.6.1.5 The fire protection coating should have aminimum resistance to impact to the satisfaction of theAdministration.
2.2.6.1.6 Pipes should be an appropriate distancefrom hot surfaces in order to be adequately insulated.
2.2.6.2Special testing may be required as part of theapproval procedure.
3. MATERIAL APPROVAL AND QUALITY CONTROLDURING MANUFACTURE
3.1 The Administration may require piping, as definedin chapter I, 4.0, to be prototype tested to ensure that thepiping meets the performance requirements of theseguidelines.3.2. The manufacturer should have a quality system thatmeets ISO 9001, “Quality systems - Model for qualityassurance in design/development, production, installationand servicing”, or equivalent. The quality system shouldconsist of elements necessary to ensure that pipe andfittings are produced with consistent and uniformmechanical and physical properties in accordance withrecognized standards.

TEST METHOD FOR FIRE ENDURANCE TESTING
OF PLASTIC PIPING IN THE DRY CONDITIONTest method1 A furnace test with fast temperature increase likelyto occur in a fully developed liquid hydrocarbon fire. Thetime/temperature of the furnace should be as follows:
at the end of 5 min. 945°C
at the end of 10 min. 1,033°C
at the end of 15 min. 1,071°C
at the end of 30 min. 1,098°C
at the end of 60 min. 1,100°C
Notes:1 The accuracy of the furnace control should be as follows:1.1 During the first 10 min. of the test the area underthe curve of mean furnace temperature should notvary by more than + 15% of the area under the standardcurve.1.2 During the first half hour of the test the area underthe curve of mean furnace temperature should not vary bymore than + 10% of the area under the standard curve.1.3 For any period after the first half hour of the testthe area under the curve of mean furnace temperatureshould not vary by more than + 5% of the area under thestandard curve.1.4 At any time after the first 10 min of the test themean furnace temperature should not differ from the
standard curve by more than + 100°C.
2 The locations where the temperatures are measured,the number of temperature measurements and themeasurement techniques are to be agreed by theAdministration taking into account the furnace controlspecification as set out in paragraph 3.1.3 of the Annex ofAssembly resolution A.517(13).
Test specimen2 The test specimen should be prepared with thejoints and fittings intended for use in the proposedapplication. The number of specimens should be sufficientto test typical joints and fittings including joints betweennon-metal and metal pipes and fitting to be used. The endsof the specimen should be closed. One of the ends shouldallow presssurized nitrogen to be connected. The pipe endsand closures may be outside the furnace. The generalorientation of the specimen should be horizontal and itshould be supported by one fixed support with theremaining supports allowing free movement. The freelength between supports should not be less than 8 timesthe pipe diameter.
Notes: 1 Most materials other than steel used forpipes will require a thermal insulation to be able topass this test. The test procedure should include theinsulation and its covering.
2. The number and size of test specimensrequired for the approval test should be specified bythe Administration.
Test conditions3 If the insulation contains, or is liable to absorb,moisture the specimen should not be tested until theinsulation has reached an air-dry condition. This conditionis defined as equilibrium with an ambient atmosphere of
50% relative humidity at 20 + 5°C. Acceleratedconditioning is permissible provided the method does notalter the properties of component material. Specialsamples should be used for moisture content determinationand conditioned with the test specimen. These samplesshould be so constructed as to represent the loss of watervapour from the specimen by having similar thickness andexposed faces.
4 A nitrogen pressure inside the test specimen shouldbe maintained automatically at 0.7 bar + 0.1 bar duringthe test. Means should be provided to record the pressureinside the pipe and the nitrogen flow into and out of thespecimen in order to indicate leakage.
Acceptance criteria5 During the test, no nitrogen leakage from thesample should occur.
6 After termination of the furnace test, the test speci-men together with fire protection coating, if any, should beallowed to cool in still air to ambient temperature and thentested to the rated pressure of the pipes as defined inparagraphs II-1/2.2 and II-1/3.2 of these guidelines. Thepressure should be held for a minimum of 15 min. withoutleakage. Where practicable, the hydrostatic test shouldbe conducted on bare pipe, that is pipe which has had allof its coverings including fire protection insulation removed,so that leakage will be readily apparent.
7 Alternative test methods and/or test proceduresconsidered to be at least equivalent including open pittesting method, may be accepted in cases where the pipesare too large for the test furnace.

APPENDIX 2
TEST METHOD FOR FIRE ENDURANCE TESTINGOF WATER-FILLED PLASTIC PIPING
1 Test method A propane multiple burner test with a fast
temperature increase should be used.
For piping up to 152 mm in diameter, the fire sourceshould consist of two rows of 5 burners as shown in Figure
1. A constant heat flux averaging 113.6 kW/m2 (+10%)should be maintained 12.5 + 1 cm above the centrelineof the burner array. This flux corresponds to a pre-mixflame of propane with a fuel flow rate of 5 kg/h for a totalheat release rate of 65 kW. The gas consumption shouldbe measured with an accuracy of at least +3% in order tomaintain a constant heat flux. Propane with a minimumpurity of 95% should be used.
For piping greater than 152 mm in diameter, oneadditional row of burners should be included for each 31mm increase in pipe diameter. A constant heat flux
averaging 113.6 kW/m2 (+10%) should still be maintainedat the 12.5 + 1 cm height above the centreline of the burnerarray. The fuel flow should be increased as required tomaintain the designated heat flux.
The burners should be type “Sievert No. 2942” orequivalent which produces an air mixed flame. The innerdiameter of the burner heads should be 29 mm (see figure1). The burner heads should be mounted in the same planeand supplied with gas from a manifold. If necessary, eachburner should be equipped with a valve in order to adjustthe flame height.
The height of the burner stand should also beadjustable. It should be mounted centrally below the testpipe with the rows of burners parallel to the pipe’s axis.The distance between the burner heads and the pipeshould be maintained at 12.5 + 1 cm during the test. Thefree length of the pipe between its supports should be .8+0.05 m.
2 Test specimenEach pipe should have a length of approximately
1.5 m. The test pipe should be prepared with permanentjoints and fittings intended to be used. Only valves andstraight joints versus elbows and bends should be testedas the adhesive in the joint is the primary point of failure.The number of pipe specimens should be sufficient to testall typical joints and fittings. The ends of each pie speci-men should be closed. One of the ends should allowpressurized water to be connected.
If the insulation contains, or is liable to absorb,moisture the specimen should not be tested until theinsulation has reached an air-dry condition. This conditionis defined as equilibrium with an ambient atmosphere of
50% relative humidity at 20 + 5°C. Acceleratedconditioning is permissible provided the method does notalter the properties of the materialSpecial samples should be used for moisture contentdetermination and conditioned with the test specimen.These samples should be so constructed as to representthe loss of water vapour from the specimen by havingsimilar thickness and exposed faces.
The pipe samples should rest freely in a horizontalposition on two V-shaped supports. The friction betweenpipe and supports should be minimized. The supports mayconsist of two stands, as shown in figure 2.
A relief valve should be connected to one of theend closures of each specimen.3 Test conditions
The test should be carried out in a sheltered testsite in order to prevent any draught influencing the test.
Each pipe specimen should be completelyfilled with deaerated water to exclude air bubbles.
The water temperature should not be less than
15°C at the start and should be measured continuouslyduring the test.
The water inside the sample should be stagnantand the pressure maintained at 3 + 0.5 bar during the test.
4 Acceptance criteriaDuring the test, no leakage from the sample(s)
should occur except that slight weeping through the pipewall may be accepted.
After termination of the burner regulation test, thetest sample, together with fire protection coating, if any,should be allowed to cool to ambient temperature and thentested to the rated pressure of the pipes as defined inparagraphs II-1/2.2 and II-1/3.2 of these guidelines. Thepressure should be held for a minimum of 15 minutes wit-hout significant leakages, i.e. not exceeding 0.2 1/min.Where practicable, the hydrostatic test should beconducted on bare pipe, that is pipe which has had all ofits coverings including fire protection insulation removed,so that leakage will be readily apparent.

TEST METHOD FOR FLAME SPREAD OF PLASTIC PIPING
Flame spread of plastic piping should be determined byIMO resolution A.653(16) entitled “Recommendation onImproved Fire Test Procedures for Surface Flammabilityof Bulkhead, Ceiling, and Deck Finish Materials” with thefollowing modifications.
1 Tests should be made for each pipe material andsize.
2 Test sample should be fabricated by cutting pipeslengthwise into individual sections and then assemblingthe sections into a test sample as representative aspossible of a flat surface. A test sample should consist ofat least two sections. The test sample should be 800 + 5mm long. All cuts should be made normal to the pipe wall.
3 The number of sections that must be assembledtogether to form a test sample should be that whichcorresponds to the nearest integral number of sectionswhich should make a test sample with an equivalentlinearized surface width between 155 and 180 mm. Thesurface width is defined as the measured sum of the outercircumference of the assembled pipe sections that areexposed to the flux from the radiant panel.
4 The assembled test sample should have no gapsbetween individual sections.
5 The assembled test sample should be constructedin such a way that the edges of two adjacent sectionsshould coincide with the centreline of the test holder.
6 The individual test sections should be attached tothe backing calcium silicate board using wire (No. 18recommended) inserted at 50 mm intervals through theboard and tightened by twisting at the back.
7 The individual pipe sections should be mountedso that the highest point of the exposed surface is in thesame plane as the exposed flat surface of a normal surface.
8 The space between the concave unexposedsurface of the test sample and the surface of the calciumsilicate backing board should be left void.
9 The void space between the top of the exposedtest surface and the bottom edge of the sample holderframe should be filled with a high temperature insulatingwool if the width of the pipe segments extend under theside edges of the sample holding frame.

The Dulang B Field is located 135KM off East Coast Peninsular Malaysia at Block PM-305. The original field development in 2008 consists of a Fixed Platform Facility at water depth of 77.3M.
The Compressed Gas Enhancement Platform is awarded to Kencana HL Fabricators Sdn Bhd in 2009. The platform will re-purpose the collected natural gas associated with the production well, and re-inject the gas, ensuring that the reservoir pressure level is maintained as well as enhancing the recovery of oil.
NOV Fiber Glass Systems, a leading global Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) manufacturer, is contracted by Kencana HL for the supply of GRE pipings and training of qualified GRE Bonders for installation.
Our premium Bondstrand 2000M and 2000M-FPFV product (ranging from 1-24 inch), has been specified for application on critical the Firewater System, Seawater Cooling System, Service water System and Portable water System, ensuring a reliable, non-corrosive, light weight piping system. Of these systems, the Firewater Dry System is the most critical and stringent, which calls for the Jet Fire safety requirement.
In Dulang B project, project management and planned execution is the key factor of success and this differentiates NOV Fiber Glass Systems among from the rest.

Exxon selected the use of our 2000M Bondstrand GRE materials for its light weight, corrosion resistance properties. Deck drains are a minor part of an offshore structure, but take years of abuse from internal corrosive fluids and the demands from external environmental conditions.
Carbon steel piping materials are less expensive, but will only last 5-7 years. Bondstrand 2000M will give at minimum, 20-years of maintenance-free operation and over the lifespan of the facility will save money and time for the operator.
Scope of supply• Prefabricated pipe spool assemblies to the yard• On site fabrication at the for installation on the underside of
the deck • Installation of pipe supports guides and anchors • Operational test
Advantages• Reduction in installation costs and time• Long service life 20 years• Corrosion resistant• Maintenance free• Light weight material

In the early 1980’s, Unocal, located in The Netherlands, built three oil production platforms to be placed on the Dutch Continental Shelf: ‘Helm’, ‘Helder’ and ‘Hoorn’. For all these platforms, built at the Heerema yard in Zwijndrecht, Bondstrand® piping was specified for a series of seawater services. The trend to use Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) piping was set a number of years before by Shell Expro and the Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij (NAM), but at that time, most piping systems were executed in conventional steel such as CS-steel, Cunifer, Duplex, 6MO, etc.
ScopeA study in 2002 proved that on Helder, Helm & Hoorn during 20 years of operations, pumps, vessels, equipment but also parts of the living quarters and kitchen blocks were replaced, repaired or renewed. The Bondstrand piping however, was still in operation and will probably survive the lifetime of these platforms.

Weight saving aspectFor the Bondstrand piping on the AB-Block platform (load-out Spring 2007), Amerplastics submitted a weight analysis showing a significant difference in weight between Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) and equivalent steel concept where Bondstrand compared to CS steel schedule 40 as 1:4.
The difference in weight concerns the difference in piping, excluding a lighter concept for steel supports and secondary structures. Total profit weight will be even higher. (Detailed comparison calculations are available from Amerplastics on request).

The Umm Shaif Field is located in Abu Dhabi Sector of the Arabian Gulf. Umm Shaif processing facilities are located at one main offshore gathering centre, designated the Umm Shaif Super Complex (USSC).The USGIF project, one of the world’s largest offshore developments, involves the supply and installation of three platforms, subsea pipelines, and modifications to wellhead towers. It also incorporates a compression platform to be located 2 km from the existing Umm Shaif super complex (USSC) and connected to an accommodation platform. The third platform, containing an oil separation unit, will be connected to the existing USSC. Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) was awarded the project by ADMA-OPCO. This is the first phase of a major re-development of the Umm Shaif Field. The USGIF facilities comprise three new build platforms; a Compression Platform (CP-1), a Collector Separator Platform (CSP-1) and an Umm Shaif Accommodation Platform (UAP). CSP-1 is linked by bridge to the existing Umm Shaif Super Complex.
Project Management and planned execution is key and differentiates NOV Fiber Glass Systems from other suppliers. NOV Fiber Glass System’s on-time delivery systematic spool production enabled HHI to meet the fast track 10-month construction duration of this project.
Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company (ADMA- OPCO) engages in offshore oil and gas exploration, development and drilling. It was assigned by its majority shareholder, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, (ADNOC), the responsibility for all offshore drilling and the required logistical support within its concession area of 30,370 km2 and elsewhere. The remaining shareholders are BP, Total and the Japan Oil Development Company. ADMA-OPCO’s concession includes two major fields, Umm Shaif and Zakum, one of the largest oil fields in the world. They are the company’s two main sources of offshore oil drilling. The crude is transferred from these fields to Das Island, the company’s main processing and storage plant, and the first stop in the delivery cycle. Das contains the oil and gas processing, storage and export facilities, utilities, power generation and accommodation sites.

State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic
(SOCAR) and the Azerbaijan International Operating
Company (AIOC). This PSA grants the consortium
the rights to develop and manage the hydrocarbon
reserves found in the ACG field termed the "Contract
Area" for a period of 30 years. In July 1999, British
Petroleum (BP) was appointed operator for the PSA
on behalf of the AIOC member companies.
Part of the objective was to produce the recoverable
reserves in the central part of the Azeri Field. The
project would require offshore drilling and production
facilities, a means of transferring the produced
hydrocarbons to shore. It has estimated oil reserves
of 4.6 million barrels of oil and 3.5 trillion cubic feet
of natural gas.
The contract to provide design and procurement for
the Full Field Development of the ACG offshore
fields was awarded to Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR).
J. Ray McDermott won the contract for fabrication,
assembly, hook-up and commissioning of the CA,
WA, EA and DUQ platforms. The ATA consortium
(Azfen/Tekfen/Amec) was awarded C&WP and
PCWU topsides fabrication within the ACG FFD
program.
3. History
Azerbaijan, the oldest known oil producing region in
the world, experienced an oil boom at the beginning
of the 20th century and later served as a major
refining center in the former Soviet Union.
Oil production peaked at about 500,000 barrels per
day during World War II, and then fell significantly
after the 1950s as the Soviet Union redirected
exploration resources elsewhere.
Azerbaijan has 1.2 billion barrels of proven oil
reserves, as well as enormous potential reserves in
the (yet) undeveloped offshore fields in the Caspian
Sea.

The platform manufacturing project was carried out
in two manufacturing sites located at the coast of the
Caspian Sea, near Baku, capital of Azerbaijan. One
yard, 15 km from Baku was operated by the ATA
(Amec-Tekfen-Azfen) joint venture (ATA-site). The
other site situated 30 km from Baku was operated by
McDermott (SPS-site).
Two platforms were manufactured on the ATA site:
one for C&WP and the other for PCWU (respectively:
compression, water injection & power, and, process
compression & and water utilities).
At the SPS yard four platforms were manufactured
(for production, drilling and quarters) to be
positioned in the four locations: Central Azeri (CA),
West Azeri (WA), East Azeri (EA) and Deep Water
Guneshli (DWG). After completion, the platforms were
shipped about 120 km from the Azeri coast to their
final destinations. Once in production, oil would be
conveyed to Sangachal oil terminal, just outside Baku.
From there, the oil would be transported to Europe via
the 1760 km long Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline. This
pipeline would have a capacity of one million barrels a
day and could hold 10 million barrels of oil at a time.
In July 2006 the first Caspian oil arrived at Ceyhan at
the Black Sea.

Two Bondstrand pipe series were used:
• Bondstrand series 7000 (Quick-Lock joint) for
lines up to 4” (100mm); this product can be used
for pressure ratings up to 16 bar.
• Bondstrand series 3416C (Taper joint) for lines
from 6” to 30” (150mm - 750mm) also with a
pressure rating of 16 bar.
6. Pipe systems
The pipework scope of supply for the Azeri project
platforms included:
• Seawater;
• Firewater;
• Coolingwater;
• Sewage;
• Non-hazardous open drains;
• Atmospheric vent.

Both pipe series are electrically conductive, and limit
build up of static electricity by connecting it to
ground (earth). In explosive danger areas, such as
platforms, this is an important issue.
All pipe work was designed to the ISO 14692
specification. The firewater piping is L3 fire rated
(wet piping). The dry deluge pipe work in the
process area containing gas is L3 plus 5 minutes
dry, Jet Fire rated.
To fulfil the demand of the dry deluge piping, a fire
protective layer was applied to the Bondstrand
pipes. This layer was made using ‘Favuseal’
material, described in chapter 10.
For each platform an extensive test program was
executed to prove the quality of the Bondstrand
products. Numerous pipe and fitting were pressure
tested according ASTM D-1599. All tests were
witnessed by a notified body (Bureau Veritas).
The total project comprises over 30,000 meters of
Bondstrand pipe with diameters 2”-30” (50-750mm)
and approximately 32,000 fittings were used. Over
40,000 joints were bonded and more than 4,000
spools were prefabricated.

7. Joining systems
Quick-Lock adhesive bonded joints
Quick-Lock adhesive bonded joints are used for
pressure ratings up to 16 bar. Available pipe
diameters are 1”-16” (25-400mm). Spigots (male
end) are cylindrical; bell ends (female end) are
slightly conical with a pipe stop inside.
For the ACG project the Quick-Lock joint was used
for pipe sizes 2-4 inch (50-100mm). For larger
diameters the Taper joint was preferred.
Taper/Taper adhesive bonded joints
Taper/Taper adhesive bonded joints are used for
pressure ratings up to 75 bar (depending on wall
thickness and pipe size). Available pipe sizes are
2-40 inch (50mm-1000mm). Both the spigots and
the bell ends are tapered. For the ACG project the
Taper/Taper joint was used for pipe sizes 6-30 inch
(150-750mm).
Flanged Joints
Flanged joints are used to connect pipelines to
pumps, valves, tanks and other equipment.
Flanges are available in both Quick-Lock and
Taper/Taper configuration. For the ACG project only
Lap joint (stub-end) flanges were used. These
flanges have the advantage of a loose steel flange
ring enabling easy installation.

8. Site conditions
Besides some hot weeks in summer and cold weeks
in winter, the environmental conditions had minor
influence on the installation:
• During hot summer days, the pipe fitters were
trained to pay attention to the relative short pot-life
of the adhesive;
• During wet and cold winter days the pipe fitters
were trained to preheat the bonding surfaces
before starting bonding.
The workshop for pipe prefabrication of spools was
an enclosed, conditioned area, so no temperature or
moisture influence affected the bonding of joints.
The adhesive resin and hardener were stored in a
conditioned room with a temperature varying
between 18 and 24 °C.
9. Spool manufacturing
The GRE piping systems for the first platform
(Central Azeri) were completely prefabricated in the
Netherlands by Amerplastics BV in Terneuzen.
These pipe spools were transported to site in big
wooden crates: the first Bondstrand spools arrived
in Baku in 2003.
The spools for the following five platforms were
prefabricated in a workshop (pre-fabrication shop)
set up locally in Baku.
Main advantages of setting up spool prefabrication
on site were related to the ability to modify spools to
site requirements and (late) design changes, and
lowering the relatively high transportation costs of
the spools. The overall flexibility of work and
planning improved.
Because of the total size of the project, it proved to
be economical to set up an on-site workshop,
specially organized for the prefabrication of
Bondstrand spools. NOV Fiber Glass Systems was
highly involved with the design of the workshop.
The workshop consisted of:
• A separate area for cutting and shaving, so noise
and dust were kept away from the main area.
• The main area for bonding and applying Favuseal
to the spools.
• An area for testing spools.
• A conditioned room to store, adhesive, resin,
hardener, keys and O-rings.
• An office to keep drawings and administration.

12. Advantages of Bondstrand fiberglass pipes
The following design aspects had to be considered,
during material selection of the pipe systems:
• The platforms are designed for a minimal lifetime
of 25 years;
• The air in the Caspian area is relative salty;
• No build-up of static electricity is allowed inside
the pipe systems, as explosive gasses could be
present.
Bondstrand Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) pipe
systems were selected because of the following
advantages:
• easy to handle, resulting in low installation costs;
• designed for a minimal lifetime of 25 years service;
• non-corrosive;
• maintenance-free;
• conductive, no static electricity is built up.
13. Conclusion
After the successful completion of the ACG-AIOC
project, all parties agreed that the good cooperation
between KBR and NOV Fiber Glass Systems and the
continuous involvement of NOV Fiber Glass Systems’
Engineers has resulted in an extraordinary low failure
rate and low installation cost of the Bondstrand piping
systems.
Special Thanks
NOV Fiber Glass Systems would like to thank everyone
who worked with them on this project.
10. Fire protection
As mentioned before, the firewater piping spools
were over-wrapped by a fire protective layer,
enabling the Bondstrand piping to withstand the
required 5 minutes dry Jet Fire conditions.
The spools were pressure tested before being
over-wrapped by the protective layer in order to
detect any leaking joints.
The Fire protection was applied in a few steps,
see also figure:
• 1 layer of Combimat (glass);
• 2 layers of Favuseal sheet;
• 1 layer of boat tape (glass);
• The top layer is impregnated with a cold curing,
two component epoxy resin.
11. Traceability
Attention was paid to the traceability of pipe fitters,
joints and materials. All pipe fitters had a traceability
form to record the following:
• Pipe fitters: the badge number of the pipe fitter
who made the joint was recorded on the
traceability form.
• Joint numbers: the joints on the spool drawings
were numbered and the number of the joint was
recorded on the traceability form.
• Adhesive: the batch number of the adhesive was
noted on the traceability form.
• Pipe and fittings: all NOV Fiber Glass Systems
pipe and fittings have a unique ID-code. These
codes were noted on the spool drawings and the
traceability form.

In 1999, BP drilled the Platina and Plutonio wells using the deepwater drillship Pride Angola, and followed these in 2000 with four more: Galio, Paladio, Cromio and Cobalto. These are all located within 20km of each other and form the Greater Plutonio development offshore Angola. Later discoveries included the Cesio and Chumbo fields, slightly further to the south and west. If developed, Cesio could potentially be tied back to Greater Plutonio although Chumbo might be developed separately. The Greater Plutonio development was approved in early 2004. BP Angola and Shell Exploration and Production Angola BV hold the Block 18 exploration permit under a production-sharing contract with Angola’s state-owned oil company, Sociedade Nacional de Combustveis de Angola (Sonangol).

Historically, offshore exploration, production platforms and ship owners have had to face the grim realityof replacing most metal piping two or three times during the average life of a vessel or platform. This hasmeant, of course, that piping systems end up costing several times that of the original investment sincereplacement is more expensive than new installation. When you add the labor costs, the downtime andthe inconvenience of keeping conventional steel or alloy piping systems in safe operating condition, thelong-term advantages of fiberglass piping become very obvious.
1.2 PRODUCT RANGE AND SERIES

2.1 LENGTH CHANGE DUE TO THERMAL EXPANSION
Like other types of piping material, in an unrestrainted condition, Bondstrand fiberglass reinforcedpipe changes its length with temperature. Tests show that the amount of expansion varies linearlywith temperature, in other words, the coefficient of thermal expansion in Bondstrand pipe is con-stant, it equals to 0.00001 inch per inch per degree Fahrenheit (0.000018 millimeter- per millimeterper degree centigrade).
The amount of expansion can be calculated by the formula:
L = L T
where L = change in length (in. or mm),
= coefficient of thermal expansion (in./in./°F or mm/mm/°C),L = length of pipeline (in. or mm), andT = change in temperature (°F or °C).
Example: Find the amount of expansion in 100 feet (30.48 meter) of Series 2000M pipe due to achange of 90°F (50°C) in temperature:
a. English Units:
L = L T
where = 10 x 10-6 in./in./°FT = 90°FL = 100 ft. = 1200 in.L = (1200 in.) (10 x 10-6 in./in./°F) (90°F)L = 1.08 in.
b. Metric Units:
L = L T
where = 18 x 10-6 mm/mm/°CT = 50°CL = 30.48 m = 30480 mmL = (30480 mm) (18 x 10-6 mm/mm/°C) (50°C)L = 27.4 mm
Note that 27.4 mm is equal to 1.08 in. which is the calculated thermal expansion for the same lengthof pipe due to the same amount of temperature change.
In normal operating temperature range, the length change - temperature relationship can be repre-sented by a straight line as illustrated in Figure 2-1 on the next page.
2.0 Design for Expansion & Contraction
2.2 LENGTH CHANGE DUE TO PRESSURE
2.2.1 Unrestrained System
Subjected to an internal pressure, a free Bondstrand pipeline will expand its length due to thrustforce applied to the end of the pipeline. The amount of this change in the pipe length depends on thepipe wall thickness, diameter, Poisson’s ratio and the effective modulus of elasticity in both axial andcircumferential directions at operating temperature.
L = L
The first term inside the bracket is the strain caused by pressure end thrust while the second term,
is the axial contraction due to an expansion in the circumferential direction, the Poisson’s effect. Theresult is a net increase in length which can be calculated by the simplified formula:
L = L
where L = length of pipe (in. or cm.),
p = internal pressure (psi or kg./cm2),
lc = Poisson’s ratio for contraction in the longitudinal direction due to the
strain in the circumferential direction.

Table 2-I provides the calculated length increase for 100 feet (30.48 meters) of Bondstrand Series 2000MPipe caused by 100 psi (7 kg/cm2) internal pressure. The Table is valid through the temperature range ofapplication. (The effect of temperature on length change due to pressure is small.)
Obtain length increase for other pressure by using a direct pressure ratio correction. For example, tofind the length change caused by 150 psi pressure in a 6-inch pipe, multiply 0.4 inch by the pressureratio 150/100 to obtain an amount of 0.6 inch length increase.

2.2.2 Restrained Systems
In the piping system, shown in Figure 2-3, all longitudinal thrusts are eliminated by the use of fixedsupports; therefore, the pipe is subjected only to load in the circumferential direction. Without theend thrust present, the first term in the equation is dropped and the length change becomes:
L = L
where L = length of pipe (in. or cm),
p = internal pressure (psi or kg/cm2),
lc = Poisson’s ratio
Ec = circumferential modulus of elasticity, (psi or kg/cm2)
ID = inside diameter of the pipe (in. or cm),

As indicated by the formula and demonstrated by the example, in a restrained installation where amechanical coupling is used, application of pressure will result in a contraction of the pipe. Thisshortening effect is found favorable in most applications where the designer can use the reduction inlength to compensate for thermal expansion. Conversely, allowances should be made where operat-ing temperature is significantly lower than the temperature at which the system is installed.
2.3 LENGTH CHANGE DUE TO DYNAMIC LOADING
Piping installed on board ship is often subjected to another type of load at the supports which resultsfrom sudden change of the support’s relative location. This dynamic loading should be accounted forin the design. The degree of fluctuation in length between the two support points depends on theship’s structural characteristics, i.e., the ship size, the size of the dynamic load, etc. This type ofmovement in the piping system should be considered with other length changes previously dis-cussed; however, calculation of expansion and contraction due to dynamic loading is beyond theintended scope of this manual.
2.3.1 Equipment Vibration
Under normal circumstances, Bondstrand pipe will safely absorb vibration from pumping if the pipeis protected against external abrasion at supports.
Vibration can be damaging when the generated frequency is at, or near, the natural resonance fre-quency of the pipeline. This frequency is a function of the support system, layout geometry, tempera-ture, mass and pipe stiffness.

There are two principal ways to control excessive stress caused by vibration. Either install, observeduring operation, and add supports or restraints as required; or add an elastometric expansion jointor other vibration absorber.
2.4 FLEXIBLE JOINTS, PIPE LOOPS, Z AND L TYPE BENDS
Bondstrand piping is often subjected to temperature change in operation, usually in the range of50°F to 100°F (32°C to 82°C). Since a piping system operating at low stress level provideslonger service life, it is good practice to reduce the amount of stress caused by thermal and/or pres-sure expansion. This can be accomplished by using one or more of the following:
A. Flexible Jointsa.1 Mechanical coupling (Dresser-type), ora.2 Expansion joint.
B. Pipe Loops
C. Z type configurations or change of direction at bends.
2.5 DESIGN WITH FLEXIBLE JOINTS
Both Dresser-type couplings and expansion joints are recognized as standard devices to absorbthermal expansion. They are easy to use and commercially available.
2.5.1 Mechanical Couplings (Dresser-type)
These are primarily designed to be used as mechanical connection joints. The elastomeric seal offerssome flexibility that will relieve thermal expansion in the pipe; however, this can only absorb a limitedamount of axial movement, usually about 3/8 in. (10mm) per coupling. Thus, more than one couplingmust be used if the expected movement is greater than 3/8 in. (10mm).
It should be noted here that fixed supports are always required in a mechanical system. In moderatetemperature and pressure application, such as often found in ballast piping systems, the total expan-sion of a 40-foot Bondstrand pipe is within the coupling recommended limit. For additional informa-tion on mechanical type couplings see Appendix A.
2.5.2 Expansion Joints
Expansion joints are widely accepted as standard devices to relieve longitudinal thermal stress.Unlike the mechanical coupling, this joint offers a wider range of axial movement giving more flexibili-ty in design. This is advantageous in long section of pipe such as in cargo piping which sometimesruns the entire length of the ship. An expansion joint is normally not needed in ballast piping systemwhere short sections of pipe are anchored at bulkheads.
When an expansion joint is used in the pipeline to relieve longitudinal stress, it must be fairly flexible,such as a teflon bellows which is activated by the thrust of a low modulus material.
Support for expansion joints must be correctly designed and located to maintain controlled deflec-tion. Besides adding weight, most of these joints act as partial structural hinges which afford onlylimited transfer of moment and shear. Where the expansion joint relies on elastomers of thermoplas-tics, the structural discontinuity or hinging effect at the joint changes with temperature.
When using an expansion joint in a pipeline carrying solids, consider the possibility that it could stiff-en or fail to function due to sedimentation build up in the expansion joint. Failure of the expansionjoint could cause excessive pipe deflection. Regular schedule maintenance and cleaning of theexpansion joint is recommended to assure adequate function of the piping system.
2.6 DESIGN WITH PIPE LOOPS
Where space is not a primary concern, expansion loops are the preferred method for relieving thethermal stress between anchors in suspended piping systems since it can be easily fabricated usingpipe and elbows at the job site.
Loops should be horizontal wherever possible to avoid entrapping air or sediment and facilitate drainage.
• For upward loops, air relief valves aid air removal and improve flow. In pressure systems, airremoval for both testing and normal operation is required for safety.
• For downward loops, air pressure equalizing lines may be necessary to permit drainage.
• In both cases, special taps are necessary for complete drainage.
The size of the loop can be determined by using the “Elastic-Center Method.” The concept is out-lined as follows:
Consider a properly guided expansion loop as shown in Figure 2-4. The centroid “0” of this structureis located at the center of the guides A and B, and the line of thrust will lie parallel to a line joiningthe guides. The only force that acts on this loop is in the x direction and can be found by the equa-tion.
Fx = EI
Ix
where = total linear expansion which will be absorbed by the loop,
Fx = force in the x direction,E = modulus of elasticity of the pipe,I = beam moment of inertia of the pipe, and
Ix = moment of inertia of the line about the x axis of the centroid.

Calculation example: Determine the required expansion loop for 8-inch Bondstrand Series 2000Mpiping subjected to the following condition:
Operating temperature: 65°C (149°F)Installation temperature: 20°C (68°F)Total length of pipe between anchors: 100 meter (328 ft)
From PRODUCT DATA SHEET FOR BONDSTRAND 2000M (FP194) we obtain at 150°F (66°C):
Allowable bending stress = 548 kg/cm2 = 183 kg/cm2 (2600 psi)3
Thermal expansion coefficient = 18 x 10-6 m/m/°C (10 x 10-6 in/in/°F)
Modulus of elasticity at 65°C = 91,400 kg/cm2 (1,300,000 psi)
Pipe O.D. = 22.1 cm (8.7 inch)
First determine the total thermal expansion for the entire length of the pipe section in question:
L = L T= 18 x 10-6/°C (45°C) (100 x 102) cm= 8.1 cm

Note: In special cases where the pipe is insulated, longer length is needed to compensate for thestiffer loop members.

Loops using 90° elbows change length better than those using 45° elbows. Unlike a 90° turn, a 45°turn carries a thrust component through the turn which can add axial stress to the usual bendingstress in the pipe and fittings. Alignment and deflection are also directly affected by the angular dis-placement at 45° turns and demand special attention for support design and location.
A 45° elbow at a free turn with the same increment of length change in each leg will be displaced 86percent more than a 90° elbow. The relative displacement in the plane of a loop is also more of aproblem. Figure 2-6 illustrates the geometry involved.

3.1 GENERAL PRINCIPLES
Occasionally, the layout of a system makes it impossible to allow the pipe to move freely, as forexample, a ballast line running thwart-ships between longitudinal bulkheads. Or it may be necessaryto anchor certain runs of an otherwise free system. In a fully restrained pipe (anchored against move-ment at both ends), the designer must deal with thrust rather than length change. Both temperatureand pressure produce thrust which must be resisted at turns, branches, reducers and ends. Knowingthe magnitude of this thrust enables the designer to select satisfactory anchors and check the axialstress in pipe and shear stress in joints. Remember that axial thrust on anchors is normally indepen-dent of anchor spacing.
Caution: In restrained systems, pipe fittings can be damaged by faulty anchorage or by untimelyrelease of anchors. Damage to fittings in service can be caused by bending or slipping of an improp-erly designed or installed anchor. Also, length changes due to creep are induced by high pressuresor temperatures while pipe is in service. When anchors must later be released, especially in long piperuns, temporary anchors may be required to avoid excessive displacement and overstress of fittings.
3.2 THRUST IN AN ANCHORED SYSTEM
Both temperature and pressure produce thrust, which is normally independent of anchor spacing. Inpractice, the largest compressive thrust is normally developed on the first positive temperature cycle.Subsequently, the pipe develops both compressive and tensile loads as it is subjected to tempera-ture and pressure cycles. Neither compressive nor tensile loads, however, are expected to exceedthe thrust on the first cycle unless the ranges of the temperature and pressure change.
3.3 THRUST DUE TO TEMPERATURE
In a fully restrained Bondstrand pipe, length changes induced by temperature change are resisted atthe anchors and converted to thrust. The thrust developed depends on thermal coefficient of expan-sion, the cross-sectional area, and the modulus of elasticity.
3.4 THRUST DUE TO PRESSURE
Thrust due to internal pressure in a suspended but restrained system is theoretically more complicat-ed. This is because in straight, restrained pipelines with all joints adhesive bonded or flanged, thePoisson effect produces considerable tension in the pipe wall.
As internal pressure is applied, the pipe expands circumferentially and at the same time contractslongitudinally. This tensile force is important because it acts to reduce the hydrostatic thrust onanchors. In lines with elbows, closed valves, reducers or closed ends, the internal pressure works onthe cross-sectional area of the ends. This thrust tends to be about twice as great as the effect ofpressure on the pipe wall.
The concurrent effects of pressure and temperature must be combined for design of anchors.Similarly, on multiple pipe runs, thrusts developed in all runs must be added for the total effect onanchors.

3.5 FORMULAS FOR CALCULATING THRUST IN RESTRAINED PIPELINES
3.5.1 Thrust Due To Temperature Change In An Anchored Line
The thrust due to temperature change in a system fully restrained against length change is calculatedby:
P = TAEl
where P = thrust (lbf or kg),
= coefficient of thermal expansion (in./in./°F or m/m/°C),
T = change in temperature (°F or °C),
El = longitudinal modulus of elasticity at lower temperature (psi or kg/cm2),
A = average cross-sectional area of the pipe wall (in.2 or cm2), See Table 4-IV.
For example:
= 10 x 10-6in./in./°F
T = 150°F
A = 4.23 in2 for 6 inch pipe
El = 1.6 x 106 psi
then P = (10 x 10-6)(150)(4.23)(1.6 x 106) = 10,150 lbf. or from Table 3-1
P = 6,770 x 1.5 = 10,150 lbf.
3.5.2 Thrust Due To Pressure In An Anchored System
In a fully restrained system, calculate the thrust between anchors induced by internal pressure using:
P = (-lc )
where P = internal pressure (psi or kg/cm2),
ID = internal diameter (in. or cm),
El = longitudinal modulus of elasticity (psi or kg/cm2),
Ec = circumferential modulus of elasticity (psi or kg/cm2), and
lc = Poisson’s ratio.
Note: Use elastic properties at lowest operating temperature to calculate maximum expected thrust.
pDmID2
El
Ec
21
For example, assume that
ID = 6.26 in.,
Dm = 6.44 in.,
P = 100 psi.
El = 1.6 x 106 psi,
Ec = 3.6 x 106 psi, and
lc = 0.56
then P = (0.56) =1,580 lbf (tension)
or read the value of 1,580 lbf from Table 3-Il.
3.5.3 Thrust Due To Pressure On A Closed End
Where internal pressure on a closed end exerts thrust on supports, calculate thrustusing:
P = p
where ID = inside diameter of the pipe (in. or cm).
Values are given in Table 3-Ill.
For example: If there is 100 psi in a 6-inch (6.26 ID) pipe, thrust is
P = x 100 = 3,080 lbf
3.6 LONGITUDINAL STRESS IN PIPE AND SHEAR STRESS IN ADHESIVE
Stress in the pipe is given in each of the above cases by:
f =
where f = longitudinal stress (psi or kg/cm2).
In the last example for pressure on a closed end:
f = = 728psi
The allowable stress is one third of the longitudinal tensile strength at the appropriate temperature asgiven in the Bondstrand Product Data Sheet. For Series 2000M and Series 7000M pipe the allowablestress at 70°F is 8,500 psi/3.0 = 2830 psi (199 kg/cm2). For short-term effects such as those result-ing from green sea loads, a higher allowable stress may be justified.

Dj = joint diamater (in. or cm), see Table 3-IV.

The allowable shear stress for RP-34 adhesive (normally used with Series 2000M products) is 250 psi(17.6 kg/cm2). The allowable shear stress for RP-60 adhesive (normally used with Series 7000M prod-ucts) is 212 psi (14.4 kg/cm2).

4.1 GENERAL
This section gives recommendations on placement of supports and maximum support spacing.These recommendations give minimum support requirements. Additional support may be neededwhere pipe is exposed to large external forces as for example, pipe on desk subject to green waveloading.
Techniques used in determining support requirements for Bondstrand are similar to those used forcarbon steel piping systems; however, important differences exist between the two types of piping.Each requires its own unique design considerations. For example, Bondstrand averages 16 percentof the weight of schedule 40 steel, has a longitudinal modulus 14 times smaller, and a thermal coeffi-cient of expansion 50 percent larger.
4.2 ABRASION PROTECTION
Bondstrand should be protected from external abrasion where it comes in contact with guides andsupport, particularly in areas of significant thermal expansion, in long runs of pipe on weather decks,or in passageways which would be affected by dynamic twisting of the ship’s structure. Such protec-tion is achieved through the use of hanger liners, rider bars or pads made of teflon or other accept-able material. Refer to Table 4-I for details.

4.3 SPANS ALLOWING AXIAL MOVEMENT
Supports that allow expansion and contraction of pipe should be located on straight runs of pipewhere axial movement is not restricted by flanges or fittings. In general, supports may be located atpositions convenient to nearby ships structures, provided maximum lengths of spans are notexceeded.
4.4 SPAN RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommended maximum spans for Bondstrand pipe at various operating temperatures are given inTable 4-Il. These spans are intended for normal horizontal piping arrangements, i.e., those whichhave no fittings, valves, vertical runs, etc., but which may include flanges and nonuniform supportspacings. The tabular values represent a compromise between continuous and single spans. Wheninstalled at the support spacings indicated in Table 4-Il, the weight of the pipe full of water will pro-duce a long-time deflection of about 1/2 inch, (12.7 mm), which is usually acceptable for appearanceand adequate drainage. Fully continuous spans may be used with support spacings 20 percentgreater for this same deflection; in simple spans, support spacings should be 20 percent less. Forthis purpose, continuous spans are defined as interior spans (not end spans), which are uniform inlength and free from structural rotation at supports. Simple spans are supported only at the ends andare either hinged or free to rotate at the supports. In Table 4-Il, recommendations for support spac-ings for mechanical joints assume simple spans and 20 ft. (6.1m) pipe length. For additional informa-tion regarding the special problems involved in support and anchoring of pipe with mechanical joints,see Appendix E.
4.4.1 Formula for Calculating Support Spacing for Uniformly Distributed Load
Suspended pipe is often required to carry loads other than its own weight and a fluid with a specificgravity of 1.0. Perhaps the most common external loading is thermal insulation, but the basic princi-ple is the same for all loads which are uniformly distributed along the pipeline. The way to adjust forincreased loads is to decrease the support spacing, and conversely, the way to adjust for decreasedloads is to increase the support spacing. An example of the latter is a line filled with a gas instead ofa liquid; and longer spans are indicated if deflection is the controlling factor.
For all such loading cases, support spacings for partially continuous spans with a permissible deflec-tion of 0.5 inch are determined using:
L = 0.258(EI)w

Note: 1. For 14- through 36-inch diameters, loads tabulated are for Iron Pipe Size and are 7 to 12 percentless than for Metric Cast Iron sizes. However, recommended spans are suitable for either.
2. Span recommendations apply to normal horizontal piping support arrangements and are calculatedfor a maximum long-time deflection of 1/2 inch to ensure good appearance and adequate drainage.
3. Includes Quick-Lock adhesive bonded joints and flanged joints.
4. Maximum spans for mechanically joined pipe are limited to one pipe length.
5. Modulus of elasticity for span calculations:
E = 2,100,000 (psi)-6000 (psi/°F) x T (°F). See Table 4-III.

where L = support spacings, ft.
(EI) = beam stiffness (lb-in2, from Table 4-Ill and 4-IV)
w = total uniformly distributed load (lb/in.).
In metric units:
L = 0.124
where L = support spacings (m)
(El) = beam stiffness (kg-cm2) (from Table 4-Ill and 4-IV)
w = total uniformly distributed load (kg/m)
For example: Calculate the recommended support spacing for 6-inch Bondstrand Series2000M pipe full of water at 150°F:
L = 0.258 16.5 ft.
4.5 SUSPENDED SYSTEM RESTRAINED FROM MOVEMENT
Anchors may be used to restrict axial movement at certain locations (see Section 5 for anchordetails). Such restriction is essential:
• Where space limitations restrict axial movement.
• To transmit axial loads through loops and expansion joints.
• To restrain excessive thrusts at turns, branches, reducers, and ends
• To support valves. This is done not only to support the weight of valves and to reduce thrust, butit also prevents excessive loads on pipe connections due to torque applied by operation ofvalves.
Refer to Section 3 for determining thrust in an anchored system.

In pipe runs anchored at both ends, a method of control must be devised in order to prevent exces-sive lateral deflection or buckling of pipe due to compressive load. Guides may be required in conjunc-tion with expansion joints to control excessive deflection. Tables 4-V and 4-VI give recommendationson guide spacing versus temperature change for marine pipe with restrained ends.
4.6 EULER AND ROARK EQUATIONS
The Euler equation is first used to check the stability of the restrained line.
L =
where L = unsupported length or guide spacing (in. or cm),
I = beam moment of inertia (in4 or cm4) see Table 4-IV,
= coefficient of thermal expansion (in./in./°F or m/m/°C),
A = cross-sectional area (in2 or cm2) see Table 4-IV,
T = change in temperature (°F or °C).
The equation gives maximum stable length of a pipe column when fixed ends are assumed.
In Tables 4-V and 4-VI this maximum length is reduced by 25 percent to allow for non-Euler behaviornear the origin of the curve.

Using the length developed by the Euler equation, the weight of and the physical properties at theoperating temperature deflection of a horizontal pipe is calculated using the equation from Roark1:
y = (tan - )
where K = P/(El)
P = = TAE
El = longitudinal modulus of elasticity (psi or kg/cm2), see Table 4-Ill
w = uniform horizontal load (lb/in or kg/cm),
L = guide spacing (in. or cm).
If “y” is less than 0.5 inch (1.27cm), the “L” obtained using the Euler equation is the recommendedguide spacing. If “y” is greater than .5 inch (1.27cm), choose a shorter length “L” and solve the Roarkequation again for “y”. A final length recommendation is thus determined by trial and error when “y”closely approximates 0.5 inch (1.27cm).
4.7 SUPPORT OF PIPE RUNS CONTAINING EXPANSION .JOINTS
The modulus of elasticity for Bondstrand pipe is approximately 1/14th that of steel pipe. For this rea-son, the force due to expansion of Bondstrand pipe is not great enough to compress most varietiesof expansion joints used in steel piping systems. Bondstrand requires elastomeric expansion joints.
The use of elastomeric expansion joints has somewhat limited marine applications. These joints havevery limited resistance to external forces and, therefore, are not suitable for use in the bottom oftanks. However, it can be used for piping systems installed in the double bottoms were hydrostaticcollapse pressure is not a requirement. During the installation careful consideration must be given tothe proper support and guidance.

There are also very distinct advantages to these expansion joints. They reduce vibration caused byequipment, are very compact and lightweight, and will compensate for axial movement.
When using an expansion joint to allow movement between anchors, the expansion joint should beplaced as close as possible to one anchor or the other. The opposite side of the expansion jointshould have a guide placed no further than five times the pipe’s diameter from the expansion jointwith a second guide positioned farther down the pipe. To determine the spacing for the secondguide, find manufacturer’s specifications on force required to compress the joint and refer to Figure4-1 for recommended spacing.
The horizontal line at the top of each curve represents maximum support spacing for a totally unre-strained system. The lower end of the curve also becomes horizontal at the value for maximum guidespacing for a totally restrained system. This graph only shows values for pipes smaller than 12 inchdiameter. In large diameters, the slightly increased guide spacing is not great enough to compensatefor the added cost of the expansion joint.
The guide spacing for variable end thrust as produced by an expansion joint may be calculated asfollows:
L = =
L = guide spacing (in. or cm.)
F = TAEl = force of compressing an expansion joint (lb or kg),
= coefficient of thermal expansion (in/in/°F or m/m/°C).
El = longitudinal modules of elasticity at the highest operating temperature
(psi or kg/cm2), see Table 4-Ill
T = change in temperature (°F or °C),
A = cross-sectional area (in2 or cm2), see Table 4-lV.
I = beam second moment of area (in4 or cm4), see Table 4-IV.
The values shown in Fig. 4-1 are calculated at 100°F (38°C) and reduced by 25 percent. Within thecross-hatched area, the pipe will crush prior to compression of the expansion joint based on a com-pressive allowable stress of 20,000 psi (1400 kg/cm2).

4.8 SUPPORTS FOR VERTICAL RUNS
Install a single support anywhere along the length of a vertical pipe run more than about ten feet(3mm) long. See Section 5 for suggested details. If the run is supported near its base, use loose col-lars as guides spaced as needed to insure proper stability.
Vertical runs less than ten feet (3mm) long may usually be supported as part of the horizontal piping.In either case, be sure the layout makes sufficient provision for horizontal and vertical movement atthe top and bottom turns.
In vertical pipe runs, accommodate vertical length changes if possible by allowing free movement offittings at either top or bottom or both. For each 1/8 inch (3mm) of anticipated vertical length change,provide 2 feet (62cm) of horizontal pipe between the elbow and the first support, but not less than 6 feet(1.9m) nor more than 20 feet (6.1m) of horizontal pipe. If the pipeline layout does not allow foraccommodations of the maximum calculated length change, there are two possible resolutions:
• Anchor the vertical run near its base and use intermediate guides at the spacing shown in Tables4-V or 4-VI, or
• Anchor the vertical run near its base and use intermediate Dresser-type couplings as required toaccommodate the calculated expansion and contraction.
Treat columns more than 100 feet (30m) high (either hanging or standing) as special designs; supportand provision for length change are important. The installer should be especially careful to avoidmovement due to wind or support vibration while joints are curing.
4.9 CASE STUDY: VERTICAL RISER IN BALLAST TANK
A 210,000 DWT Tanker trades between Alaska and Panama. Segregated ballast tanks next to cargotanks are served by 16 inch (400mm) Bondstrand Series 7000M pipe with RP-60 adhesive as shownin Figure 4-2. Maximum working pressure is 225 psi (15.5 bars). Maximum cargo temperature is130ºF (54ºC). Minimum cargo temperature is 70ºF (21ºC). Minimum ballast water temperature inAlaska is 30ºF (-1ºC). Length of riser is 80 ft. (24.4m). Ambient temperature at time of pipe installationis 70ºF (21ºC). Maximum ambient temperature in Panama is 110ºF (43ºC).
4.9.1 What relative movement is expected between bottom of riser and bulkhead assum-ing no restraint on riser and no dresser-type couplings in the riser pipe?
Maximum relative movement due to temperature occurs when the steel bulkhead is at cargo temper-ature (1300F) and the fiberglass pipe is at minimum ballast water temperature (300F); i.e. at time ofloading cargo in Alaska.
Expansion of bulkhead = L T= 6.38 x 10-6 (80 x 12) (130 - 70)= 0.37 inches
Contraction of pipe = L T = 10 x 10-6(80 x 12) (70 - 30)= 0.38 inches
Total relative movement due to temperature= 0.37 + 0.38 = 0.75 inch
Note that pressure in the pipe under these conditions will cause the pipe to lengthen and reduce therelative movement between pipe and bulkhead.
Maximum relative movement due to pressure will occur at ambient temperature during ballasting inPanama.

L = (80 x 12) 1-2 (.56)
= 0.53 inches or see Table 2-I
Thus the maximum expected relative movement is 0.75 inch as caused by temperature.
4.9.2 Does the pipeline layout below the riser allow enough flexibility to absorb the expect-ed relative movement?
The eductor is rigidly anchored to prevent vibration; therefore, the riser support forms a Z loop.Interpolating from Table 2-Ill for a length change of 0.75 inch, the required leg length is 9.5 ft. Sincethe layout provides only 3 ft., there is insufficient flexibility to absorb movement.
Two solutions are possible:
A. Anchor the riser pipe near the bottom and provide guides as required to prevent buck-ling.
B. Insert Dresser-type couplings into the riser pipe to absorb the expected movement.
4.9.3 Solution A: Restrain the riser pipe
El at 30ºF = 2,100,000 — 6,000 (30) = 1,920,000 psi
Force on anchor, P = ElA L/L
= 1,920,000 (22.5) 0.75/(80x12)= 33,750 lbf. due to temperature change
Note that pressure causes a reduction in anchor force due to temperature.
From Table 3-Il, the force due to pressure alone is
P = 9260 (225/100) = 20,840 lbf.
Thus the anchor must be designed for 33,750 lbf.
The guide spacing should be established for a condition of empty ballast tank in Panama (110°F) andfull cargo tank at 70°F. The pipe T = 110-70=40°F. From Table 4-VI the guide spacing is 52 feet.Since the maximum unguided length is 30 ft., no additional guides would be required.
Check maximum tensile stress in pipe wall: In this case, assume hot cargo tank, cold ballast tankand maximum pressure occur simultaneously.
f = (33,750 + 20,840)/22.5= 2,426 psi < 2,830 psi allowable
Check shear stress in RP—60 adhesive (See Table 3-IV):
a = (33,750 + 20,840)/[ir(15.91)(4.00)]= 273 psi > 212 psi allowable
Solution A is not feasible due to shear stress in adhesive.

41
4.9.4 Solution B: Dresser-type couplings. Contraction in riser pipe due to pressure:
L = (80 x 12) (.56)
= 0.53 inches
Thus the total contraction due to pressure and temperature is 0.75 + 0.53 = 1.28 inches. Each cou-pling allows 0.375 inch movement (See Appendix A) without gasket scuffing. However, consideringthe infrequent nature of the worse-case condition, two couplings should be sufficient. Light dutyanchors will be required between couplings.
The riser bottom should be anchored against closed-end force. From Table 3-Ill, the force is:
P = 18,100 (225/100) = 40,740 lbf.
For anchor details see Section 5.

5.1 INTRODUCTION
Proper support of fiberglass piping systems is essential far the success of marine fiberglass installa-tions. In dealing with installations of fiberglass pipe by shipyards, riding crews, arid owners through-out the world, the need for a Chapter dedicated to commonly used installation details has becomeevident.
The recommendations and details herein are based on sound engineering principles and experiencein successful fiberglass piping installations. They are offered as alternatives and suggestions for eval-uation, modification and implementation by a qualified Marine Engineer. Taking short cuts to savematerial or cost can cause grave consequences.
Notes: 1. Unless otherwise indicated, details are considered suitable for all approved piping systems.
2. Details are not intended to show orientation. Assemblies may be inverted or turned horizontal forattachment to ship’s structure, bulkhead or deck. Good practice requires that support lengths in piperuns provide the minimum dimensions needed for clearance of nuts and bolts.
3. Location, spacing and design of hangers and steel supports are to be determined by the shipyard,naval architect, or design agency. The necessary properties of fiberglass pipe are found in Chapters 2,3 and 4.
4. Fiberglass piping systems on board ships are often designed to absorb movement and length changesat mechanical joints. To control deflections, the designer must allow for the weight and flexibility (hingeeffect) introduced by mechanical couplings or expansion joints. See Appendix E.
5. Detailed dimensions are in inches and (mm) unless otherwise indicated.
6. Flange gaskets shall be 1/8 in. (3mm) thick, full face elastomeric gaskets with a Shore A Durometerhardness of 60 + 5. A Shore flurometer hardness of 50 or 60 is recommended for elastomeric pads.
7. Refer to ASTM F708 for additional details regarding standard practice for design and installation ofrigid pipe hangers.
5.2 DETAILS
5.2.1 Water Tight Bulkhead Penetration, Flanged One End (Figure 5—1 On Following Page)
All water tight bulkheads and deck penetrations must be accomplished in steel and/or a non-ferrousmetal capable of being welded water tight to the steel structure and must comply with classificationsocieties rules. Fiberglass pipe can be attached to this penetration by a mechanical coupling(Dresser-type) between the metallic spool piece and fiberglass plain end. A step down coupling canalso be used when the diameter of the metallic spool piece differs from the outside diameter of thefiberglass pipe.
Note: All spool pieces must be aligned with the longitudinal axis of the piping system within tolerance per-mitted by the mechanical coupling manufacturer regardless of the deck or bulkhead slope.
5.0 Anchor And Support Details

5.2.2 Water Tight Bulkhead Penetration, Flanged Both Ends (Figure 5—2 )
The difference between this water tight spool piece and the previous one is the incorporation offlanges at both ends of the water tight bulkhead. This spool piece penetration is commonly used if avalve must be attached at the bulkhead penetration as required for design, safety reasons or classifi-cation society rules.
The alignment between the steel and fiberglass flanges must be within the tolerance discussed laterin Paragraph 5.2.13 and shown by Figure 5—13. Special attention is required when valves aremounted on the flanges; lock washers shall be placed on the steel side (compressed by the nut) andflat washers on the fiberglass side (supported by the bolt).
5.2.3 Adjustable Water Tight Bulkhead Penetration, Flanged or Plain End. (Figure 5—3)
This particular spool piece connection allows tack welding at the bulkhead prior to final assembly sothat the pipe is truly aligned, thus relieving fabrication stresses in the system. Two tanks can bealigned simultaneously with the use of this adjustable bulkhead penetration for proper alignment ofthe fiberglass pipe and fittings.

5.2.4 Anchor Supports. (Figure 5—4)
This particular detail uses fiberglass saddle stock halfcollars to anchor the pipe and prevent longitu-dinal displacement along the axis. The gap between each 1800 saddle and the flat bar type clamp is1/8 in. (3mm). These steel clamps are fabricated by the shipyard conforming to I.P.S. or M.C.I. out-side diameters.
Notes: 1. The steel clamp should fit squarely against the angle bar support where the clamp will be bolted.Inserts, washers and spacers should not be used.
2. For thickness of the steel clamps refer to Note 3 under Paragraph 5.1.
5.2.5 Pipe Anchor Using 1800 Saddle Stock Full Collar (Figure 5—5 On Preceding Page)
This anchor support is accomplished in the same manner as Figure 5—4. It restricts the pipe fromaxial movement. The additional saddles will increase the area of contact between the saddle and thepipe to accommodate axial forces.
Calculations of thrust are discussed in Chapter 3. If the shear value of the adhesive to be used on aparticular systems is exceeded (see Section 3.6), alternate types of anchors should be used; espe-cially at fittings. See Figures 5—8 and 5—9 for examples.

5.2.6 Anchor Supports Using Full Metal Clamp (Figure 5—6)
The flat bar clamp is designed to restrain the pipe from axial movement. Saddle stock is installed onboth sides of the steel clamp. In order to hold the pipe without damage see Table 5—1 below forrecommended space between the bottom part of the clamp and upper part of the clamp.
For small pipe diameters 1—6 in. (25—150mm) it is useful to use a 1/4 thick (6mm) neoprene pad(Durometer A 50—60) compressed between the pipe and metal clamp. This will not prevent move-ment of the pipe in the axial direction. To prevent movement, the pipe must be properly anchoredwith saddle supports using half or full collars depending on the thrust imposed by the hydrostaticpressure or temperature change in the piping system.
Notes: 1. The steel clamp should fit squarely against the angle bar support where the clamp will be bolted.Inserts, washers and spacers should not be used.
2. For thickness of the steel clamps refer to Note 3 under Paragraph 5.1.

5.2.7 Anchor Supports Using Flat Bar Top Half and Steel Shape Bottom (Figure 5—7 Previous Page)
This type of anchor support is similar in purpose to that shown in Figure 5—6. Many shipyards preferthis type.
Caution: Dimensions of the steel clamp must provide for a loose fit around the fiberglass pipe when attached tothe steel angle shape below. If the pipe is clamped against the flat steel surface on the bottom half, theforce imposed at the tangential point of contact between the pipe and steel can damage the fiberglasspipe. (See Table 5—I). For diameters greater than 8 inches this problem is less severe due to increasedthickness of the pipe wall. (See Chapter 4, Table 4—IV)
Note: The supports shown in Figs. 5—4, 5—5, 5—6 and 5—7 are designed to restrain axial movement of thepipe when they are fitted with 180 deg. saddles.
5.2.8 Thrust Support For 90º and 45º Elbows (Figure 5—8 on Following Page)
The thrust support plate of Figure 5—8 is used when the hydrostatic force or thrust in the piping sys-tem will exceed the shear strength of the adhesive bonded joint. It is recommended that this type ofsupport be used in transferring the load from the joint directly into the body of the fitting. The fittingwill absorb thrust imposed on the piping system. The support plate will be permanently attached tothe standard foundation detail produced by the shipyard with addition of a torsional support platebolted directly onto a flange of the elbow to prevent a torsional displacement of the fitting.
It is recommended that a .394 in. (10mm) thick neoprene pad with a Durometer A of 50-60 beinstalled between the thrust support plate and the outside of the elbow completely covering theinside curved surface which will contact the pipe. The neoprene pad should be fully compressedagainst the thrust plate. If the thrust plate support cannot be made into a smooth radius, an alterna-tive method is to weld together straight plates (Lobster-Back configuration). In this case the neo-prene pad must be sufficiently thick so that when the pad is compressed between the fitting and theLobster-Back support, a full contact of the outside diameter of the pipe is accomplished with thecompression of the neoprene pad. This assures that the forces will be transmitted directly to thesteel thrust support plate and no slippage will occur by an improperly compressed neoprene pad.
Note: It is recommended that a mechanical coupling (Dresser-type only) be incorporated on either side of thefitting using thrust support plates to allow axial movement in the piping system and relieve part of thethrust imposed on the fitting. This practice has been used successfully in previous installations. SeeNote in Section 5.2.9.
5.2.9 Thrust Support Plate For Tees (Figure 5—9 On Page 5.8)
The thrust support plate of Figure 5—9 is used when the hydrostatic force or thrust in the piping sys-tem will exceed the shear strength of the adhesive bonded joint. It is recommended that this type ofsupport be used in transferring the load from the joint directly into the body of the fitting. The fittingwill absorb thrust imposed on the piping system. The thrust support plate for the tee is simpler indesign than the previous thrust support for elbows. The construction is straight and simple withoutcompound curvature and can be accomplished by rolling the plate to conform to the outside diame-ter of the tee.

Fig. 5—8
The accommodation of the neoprene pad will be the same as Figure 5—8 with the objective to trans-fer the thrust force of the piping system into the thrust support plate and not into the flange or bond-ed joints of the tee. Because of the geometrical configuration of the tee, a torsional plate will not berequired. All the rest of the recommendations previously discussed in Figure 5—8 are also applicableto the tee support.
Note: It is advisable to coat the U bolts which hold the elbows and tees against the thrust support plateswith Amercoat, urethane or similar coatings to protect against corrosion, and also cushion between thefittings and the U bolt. Another method used by some shipyards is to introduce a neoprene sleevearound the U bolts. This Note applies to all supports using U bolts.
5.2.10 Anchor Support Plate Bolted to a Flanged Fitting (Figure 5—10 On Following Page)
This anchor support is used for flange fittings when the hydrostatic forces imposed by the design ofthe piping system do not exceed the adhesive shear stress value. (See Section 3.6 of this manual.)
Figure 5—10 shows the plate pattern covering a minimum of four bolts (for all pipe sizes). Figure 5—10 shows a design used by shipyards to anchor large diameter elbows. See Note 3 on page 5.2.
5.2.11 Steel Supports for Large and Small Valves (Figure 5—11 On Page 5.10)
The steel supports shown in Figure 5—11 apply for various kinds of valves. Valves in sizes 4 in. andunder are relatively light can normally be supported with a single support. Gate valves and similarlarge and heavy valves in sizes 6 in. and up require two supports to accommodate the weight anddirectly transmit it to the ship’s structure. Valves such as globe or gate valves with reach rodsextending to the above decks require double support.
See Table 5—Il below for required number of bolts in support plates.
50
Fig. 5—9
Flanged plates must be properly designed to support the weight of valves and transmit it directly tothe ship’s structure. It is recommended that all steel components in a piping system be supported.This will prevent shifting the weight to the fiberglass piping system.

5.2.12 Guidance Support for Fiberglass Pipe. Teflon Sliding Pad (Figure 5—12)
This simple design has been adopted almost universally for guides in ship construction. Teflon hasself—lubricating properties which help to reduce friction between the surface of the pipe and thesteel without inducing abrasion on the fiberglass component. Teflon also is inert to most chemicalsand petroleum derivatives used in tank ships, white product, and chemical carriers. The minimumthickness of the teflon pad is recommended to be 1/5 inch (5mm). Teflon thickness should beincreased proportionally to the largest size of the piping system i.e., 1/4 inch (6mm) for 20 inches andabove. The teflon pad can be utilized (or installed) in different configurations, some shipyards feelthat the teflon pad in conjunction with the holes for the U bolt will be sufficient. Others shipyards pre-fer to have an indentation on the teflon pad to prevent any sliding in the center between the twoholes supporting the pad. The third anchor point will be in the center of the teflon pad and the metalbar as shown as an alternative on Figure 5—12. It is also recommended that the U bolts be coatedwith Amercoat, urethane or hot dip coating to prevent corrosion.
5.2.13 Maximum Flange Misalignment Allowance (Figure 5—13)
The Table in Figure 5—13 shows allowable misalignment for flanges from 1—16 inches diameter andfrom 18—36 inches diameter. It is recommended that these allowances not be exceeded in order toaccomplish a proper seal between flanges without inducing unacceptable stresses.

When installing pipe in the bottom of tanks, the pipe must resist the combined external fluid pressureand internal suction. It is assumed that a positive displacement pump can pull a maximum of 75 per-cent vacuum. The designer should also allow for a safety factor of 3 in accordance with proposedASTM Specifications. Thus the allowable hydrostatic head, H in ft. is:
H = 2.31 — 11.0
Tabulated values of allowable hydrostatic head are shown in Table 6—Ill on page 6.6 for tempera-tures of 1000F(380C) and 2000F(930C). For example, calculate the collapse pressure andallowable hydrostatic head in English units for 12 inch Series 2000M pipe at 2000F:

7.1 INTRODUCTION
When comparing Fiberglass and carbon steel piping systems it becomes evident that selection ofFiberglass pipe can result in significant savings due to favorable hydraulic properties.
7.2 HEAD LOSS
The frictional head loss in a pipe is a function of velocity, density, and viscosity of the fluid; and ofthe smoothness of the bore, and the length and diameter of the pipe. Therefore, the best means ofminimizing this pressure drop in a particular piping service is to minimize the internal roughness ofthe pipe. This internal roughness causes movement of the fluid particles in the boundary layer adja-cent to the pipe wall, which causes flow through the pipe to be impeded.
Fiberglass pipe has a smoother inner surface than new steel piping. There is an even more significantdifference between the inner surface of Fiberglass and steel pipe after the pipes have been in servicefor a while. In most systems Fiberglass maintains its low head loss performance for life.
Fiberglass does not scale, rust, pit or corrode electrolytically or galvanically. It resists growth of bac-terial algae, and fungi that could build up on the inner surface. Also, Fiberglass has high chemicaland abrasion resistance. In marine applications, where pipelines are usually short, the major portionof the total pressure drop in a system occurs in the valves and fittings. It is customary to express theresistance of valves and fittings in terms of equivalent length of pipe, these are added to the actuallength for purposes of pressure drop calculation for the total system.
7.3 FORMULAS FOR CALCULATING HEAD LOSS IN PIPE
The Hazen-Williams equation is convenient for calculating head loss. For full flow, this equation, witha C factor of 150, predicts head loss with sufficient accuracy for nearly all water piping situations.
Fluids other than water require a more universal solution such as given by the Darcy-Weisbach equa-tion. This section gives the information needed to solve these head loss problems for fluids such ascrude oil and salt brine. Head loss for two-phase fluids such as sludges and slurries is not covered.
7.3.1 Hazen—Williams Equation (For Water Pipe, Full Flow)
An equation commonly used for calculating head loss in water piping is that published by Hazen andWilliams. Solving for head loss, this equation becomes
HL = 1046
Where HL = head loss (feet per 100 feet of pipe),
Q = discharge (gallons per minute), (U.S. gallon)
C = Hazen-Williams Factor (C = 150 for Bondstrand), and
ID = inside diameter of pipe (inches).

7.0Hydraulics
1 . 852Q
C ID2.63[ ]
In International System (SI) units, this equation is
HL = 1068
where HL = head loss (meters per 100 meters of pipe),
Q = discharge (cubic meters per second),
C = Hazen—Williams factor (C = 150 for Bondstrand), and
ID = inside diameter of pipe (meters).
7.3.2 Darcy-Weisbach Equation (For All Fluids, Full Flow)
The solution of the Darcy-Weisbach equation is complicated by the fact that the Darcy friction factor,f, is itself a variable. Solutions for f may be obtained using handbooks, or by using a programmablecalculator, for both laminar and turbulent flow conditions.
Figure 7-1 gives the head loss versus discharge for water flowing in Bondstrand pipe based on theDarcy-Weisbach equation
HL = f
Where HL = frictional resistance (meters),
f = Darcy friction factor,
L = length of pipe run (meters),
ID = internal diameter of pipe (meters),
V = average velocity of fluid (meters per second), and
g = gravitational constant = 9.806 meters per second2.
The frictional resistance is obtained in feet by the same equation if all units of length are changed tofeet and the gravitational constant is changed to 32.2 feet per second2. When using Figure 7-1, con-vert discharge in gal/mm to cu in/sec by multiplying by 0.0000631.
The variable Darcy friction factor can be determined for any fluid in the turbulent range of flows byuse of the Moody equations.
f = 0.0055 1 + 20,000 +

If the Reynold’s Number falls below 2000, the flow can be assumed to be laminar. Then the Darcyfriction factor becomes

Roughness Parameter —
The smoothness of the inside pipe surface over the life of Bondstrand pipe produces lower frictionalhead loss compared to most other piping materials. The lower head loss means lower pressures willbe required to produce an equivalent discharge, thereby also conserving pumping energy.
Tests of Bondstrand pipe show that the roughness is 5.3 x 106 meters (1.7 x 106 feet). There is a highprobability that this low level roughness will be sustained, and will not be increased due to corrosionand incrustation as often the case with steel piping, which may double in roughness under certainconditions.
Kinematic Viscosity of Fluid —
Increase in fluid viscosity leads to increased head loss. Table 7—I illustrates the effect of kinematicviscosity on head loss for several common fluids. Kinematic viscosity is defined as the absolute vis-cosity divided by the density. It varies with temperature. The kinematic viscosity for water at roomtemperature is 0.000001115 square meters per sec (0.000012 sq. ft per sec)
Figure 7-2 shows how head loss and flow are affected by kinematic viscosity. The transition betweenlaminar flow and turbulent flow in 6-in. pipe is seen in the plot for a fluid having a kinematic viscosityof 0.001 square feet per second.
7.4 HEAD LOSS IN FITTINGS
Head loss for water flow in fittings 2 through 36 in. in diameter may be determined by the abovemethods after obtaining their equivalent pipe lengths using Figure 7-3. For example, find the equiva-lent pipe length (Le) for water flowing through a 6-in. diameter elbow at a rate of 0.003 meters3 per
second. Beginning at the bottom of the chart given in Figure 7-3 at a flow of 0.003 meters3 per sec-ond, proceed vertically to intersect the 6-in. diameter curve, and read Le = 6 meters on the left ordi-
nate. Multiply this value by the resistance coefficient, K, given for 90 degree elbows in Table 7-Il toobtain equivalent pipe length,
Le = 6 x 0.5 = 3 meters.
Head loss in the fitting is then determined as the head loss in this equivalent length of pipe. Theresistance coefficients from Table 7-III may be used in similar fashion for reducers.
Although the Darcy friction factor, f, for water was used in the development of Figure 7-3, the equiva-lent pipe length obtained may then be used to estimate head loss for the actual fluid in the system.
With a known Darcy friction factor, the equivalent length of pipe for any size and type of fitting canbe determined using the appropriate resistance coefficient, K, from Table 7-Il and the equation
Le = K ID/f
provided Le and ID are given in the same units.

7.5 CARGO DISCHARGE TIME AND ENERGY SAVINGS
The advantage of low friction loss in Fiberglass smooth bore pipe has been explained in EB-19,“HEAD LOSS IN BONDSTRAND VERSUS STEEL.” This section will focus on another aspect of thistopic, namely energy savings in cargo tank discharge, and how loading and unloading time can bereduced by using Bondstrand piping products.
7.5.1 Pump Flow Rate
Consider a typical pump operating at a certain pressure P1 to overcome friction loss in the piping
system as shown in Figure 7-4. At this pressure the pump will discharge a certain flow rate Q1. This
same pump will discharge a higher flow rate Q2 if somehow the friction loss in the pipeline can be
reduced, bringing the pump’s operating head down to a lower level, P2. The increase in volume flow
rate, as a result of the reduction in operating pressure, depends largely on the pump performancecharacteristics which vary from pump to pump. This flow variation with pressure can be found in thepump manufacturer’s literature, thus it is omitted from further discussion here.

Fig. 7-4
Pumping Pressure vs. Discharge
7.5.2 Full—Pipe Flow Of Water In Low—Friction Fiberglass Pipe
Let’s now focus our discussion only to the pipeline and examine how low friction pipe can improvethe volume flow rate of the system.
For example consider two pipelines - Schedule 40 steel and Bondstrand Series 2000M pipe - bothdesigned to transport water 100 meters. We will compare the volume flow rate. The friction head lossin the pipelines can be calculated by the Hazen-Williams formula as stated before. In metric units:
HL = 1068
Where HL = head loss (meters per 100 meters of pipe)
Q = discharge (cubic meters per second),
C = Hazen-Williams Factor (C = 150 for Bondstrand), and
ID = inside diameter of pipe ( meters).
With the same energy consumption rate to overcome the friction loss in the pipeline, the rate of dis-charge will be different due to the differences in friction coefficient in the pipe. In other words, usingthe same head loss for both pipe, we obtain:
HL = 1068 = 1068
Rearrange the above expression to show the flow rate in Bondstrand pipe in terms of flow rate insteel pipe:
QBS = Qsteel
Examining the above formula, we can conclude that for the same head loss, Fiberglass pipe willdeliver more volume flow rate that that of the same nominal diameter steel pipe since the product
of and is always greater than 1.0.
Table 7-IV lists the calculated value of the flow ratio QBS / Qsteel where CBS = 150 and Csteel = 120 or
70. A “C” value of 120 represents a very slightly corroded steel pipe. A “C” value of 70 represents aseverely corroded steel pipe.

7.5.3 Flow Of Fluids Other Than Water
In Marine applications, however, most cargo tankers carry fluids other than water. In such cases, cal-culations of head loss are slightly more complicated because direct comparison of volume flow ratesbetween the two pipes is not possible. Comparison of volume flow rate can only be done in steps asillustrated below:
Step 1:
The head loss of one pipeline, usually the steel line, is chosen as a standard for comparison. This isdetermined using the Darcy-Weisbach method as discussed before.
HL = f
Where HL = frictional resistance (meters),
f = Darcy friction factor,
L = length of pipe run (meters),
ID = internal diameter of pipe (meters),
V = average velocity of fluid (meters per second),
g = gravitational constant = 9.806 meters per second2.

The variable Darcy friction factor can be determined for any fluid in the turbulent range by use of theMoody equation,
f = 0.0055 1 + 20,000 +
in which = pipe roughness (meters), and
R = = Reynold’s Number,
where = kinematic viscosity of the fluid (square meters per second).
Step 2:
From the head loss calculated in Step 1 above, the flow velocity (the only unknown quantity in theequation for Bondstrand system) can be found by trial and error. A programmable calculator willspeed this calculation considerably. Subsequently, the volume flow rate can be easily determined.
For example, 1000 cubic meters of 1400F, 24.4 degree Baum~ crude oil with kinematic viscosity of0.00001115 square meters per second is to be unloaded through a 1000-meter long standardSchedule 40, 8-in. diameter steel pipeline at a rate of 500 cubic meters per hour. How much time canbe saved unloading the same amount of crude through Bondstrand Series 2000M, 8-in. pipeline?

With 94 meters of friction head loss, the flow velocity for Bondstrand piping system can be foundfrom the equation.
94 = .0055 1 + ( 20000 + + )
By trial and error V = 4.55 meters per second, and R = 85,250.
As illustrated in the above example, for the given conditions, Bondstrand Series 2000M 8-in. pipe willdeliver 560 cubic meters per hour, emptying the tank in less than 1.8 hours, a 10% saving in bothunloading time and energy.
It is important to note here that the roughness value of new steel was used. The difference in volumeflow rate would have even been higher had the roughness value of old steel pipe been used in thecalculation.
7.5.4 Energy Savings Using Bondstrand Fiberglass vs. Steel Piping
Users of piping products have long known that Fiberglass piping has far lower friction factors thancarbon steel piping. It is equally important to recognize the energy cost savings which accrue overthe life of the installed system as a result of the lower friction factors.
The largest savings is found simply in lower pumping costs, where the power consumption can oftenbe cut in half. For example, let us assume a 6-in. line is to deliver 500 gallons per minute of water ona year-round basis and determine energy cost per 100 feet. At this flow the average velocity is about5 feet per second. Over a 10-year service life, a Bondstrand line can be expected to maintain aHazen-Williams “C” factor of 150, whereas for carbon steel the average “C” factor can be estimatedto be about 110. In English units:
HL = 1046
Where HL = head loss (ft. per 100 ft. of pipe), Q = discharge (gpm),
ID = internal diameter of pipe (inches), and
C = Hazen-Williams frictional factor depending on smoothness of pipe bore.
For a 100 foot run in the example described above, this formula yields 1.28 feet for Bondstrand and2.65 feet for schedule 40 carbon steel pipe. To overcome this head loss, the horsepower demandmay be calculated as
For Bondstrand:
= .162 hp
For Steel:
= .335 hp

Then, the energy required for full-time operation for a one month period is:
For Bondstrand:
= 146 hp-hr/month
For Steel:
= 301 hp-hr/month
It is impossible to make a generalization on the cost of electricity on board ship which is dependenton the efficiency of the ship’s plant; however, if we assume that the ship is connected to shorepower, we could expect to pay approximately 10 cents per kilowatt-hour or 7.5 cents per horsepow-er-hour. This cost is significantly lower than ship-based generation. The cost per month is then
For Bondstrand:
146 hp-hr/month x U.S. $.075/hp-hr = U.S. $10.95/month/100 ft. of pipe
For Steel:
301 hp-hr/month x U.S. $.075/hp-hr = U.S. $22.58/month/100 ft. of pipe
Difference = U.S. $11.63
For a ship using 500 feet of Bondstrand fiberglass pipe the annual savings could be:
U.S.S11.63/month/100 ft. x 12 months x 500 ft. = U.S. $69,780 (Annual Savings)
The annual savings shown above for one ship during one year of operation can increase substantiallyif the owner implements the usage of fiberglass for all the vessels in his fleet.
If you add up this savings over a ten-year period for every hp-hr for every 100 feet the saving is verysignificant and Bondstrand pipe can be used for the life of the vessel while steel pipe probably mustbe replaced several times.
In addition to time and energy saving, there are also savings due to purchase and maintenance ofsignificantly smaller pumps in terms of horsepower rating.

APPENDIX AUSING METALLIC PIPE COUPLINGS TO JOIN BONDSTRAND
Over the years, metallic pipe couplings have proven to be reliable and economical in certainBondstrand piping systems. However, when joining Bondstrand, the recommended procedure issomewhat different than when joining rigid pipe materials such as steel and ductile iron. This bulletindescribes the joining of Bondstrand pipe using Viking Johnson Couplings* along with a brief reviewof the couplings’ design, construction and operating features. Because of the similarity of design, thesame recommendations generally apply also to the use of Rockwell** or Dresser*** couplings.
DESCRIPTION
Viking Johnson mechanical couplings are manufactured in many different sizes and configurations tomeet many pipe joining requirements. Ease in close quarter installation and disassembly allow themto be used in many areas where other pipe jointing methods would be impractical. The elastomericseals in the couplings help absorb movements such as length changes due to temperature or theflexing of a ship, and help dampen vibrations such as are produced by a pump.
The Viking Johnson Coupling consists of a cylindrical center sleeve, two end flanges, two elastomer-ic sealing rings and a set of ‘D’ neck cup-head bolts. (See Figure1)
Tightening the bolts pulls the end flanges together, compressing the sealing rings between the pipewall and center sleeves, producing a flexible, reliable seal.
a. Sealing Ring Materials
The grade ‘T’ ring is made from Nitrile and is, according to Viking Johnson literature the ringmost commonly used. It is recommended for use on lines carrying gases, air, fresh and saltwater, petroleum products, alkalies, sugar solutions and some refrigerants, and for tempera-tures from —20º to +100ºC (-4ºF to +212ºF). Other grades such as EPDM — ‘E’Polychloroprene — ‘V’, Polyacrylic — ‘A’, Fluoroelastomer — ‘0’, and Silicone, — ‘L’, are alsoavailable.

DESCRIPTION (cont.)
b. Pressure Plating
Maximum pressure ratings of the Viking Johnson Couplings are determined on the basis ofBarlow’s formula using a working stress equal to two—thirds the minimum yield of the centersleeve material. All pressure ratings exceed the minimum requirements for 10 bar (150 psi)piping systems.
c. Chemical Resistance
Viking Johnson Couplings can serve in most chemical environments. This is accomplishedby changing the type of sealing rings and using different types of protective coatings on thecoupling.
d. Electrical Grounding
On special order, Viking Johnson provides a stud welded connection for grounding the cen-ter sleeve to the end flanges. Wires from the end flanges are bolted onto the stud on thecenter sleeve, and the connection is bolted down. Connecting the wiring on the centersleeve may be carried out prior to the assembly on the Bondstrand pipe ends.
e. Locating Plug
Where there is any possibility of coupling movement along the pipe, due to repeated expan-sion and contraction or under vibration conditions, it is preferable to use a locating plugwhich centralizes the coupling over the pipe ends. If the coupling is to be slipped back alongthe pipe at a later date, the plug can be removed and subsequently refitted. Locating plugsare mandatory with most approval authorities when couplings are used on board ships. (SeeFigure 2).
JOINT FUNCTION
The sealing ring used in the Viking Johnson coupling is not intended to slide. The coupling willaccommodate up to 9.5mm (3/8 in.) longitudinal pipe movement per joint as the rings deform (rollslightly) in response to such movement.
Important: Where pipe movement out of the coupling might occur, proper anchorage of the pipemust be provided.

Individual couplings must be protected against movements greater than 9.5mm (3/8 in.). Anchoragemust be provided to prevent excessive accumulation of movement, particularly at all points whichproduce thrust, including valves, bends, branches and reducers.
LENGTH CHANGES IN BONDSTRAND
Bondstrand pipe lengths change due to both temperature and pressure. Estimate these changes byreferring to Chapter 2 “Design for Expansion and Contraction” contained in this manual.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
Joining of Bondstrand pipe using Viking Johnson Couplings is similar to joining of steel pipe, butthere are important differences. You may need suitable coatings for the cut and sanded surfaces.(See step d. below). Also, you will need the following tools:
1. Torque wrench reading in increments of 5 foot—pounds or metric equivalent.
2. Hacksaw, saber saw or abrasive wheel.
3. Duster brush or clean rags.
4. Bondstrand pipe shaver or belt sander.
Although Bondstrand pipe can be supplied with prepared ends, you may need to cut pipe to lengthon site. If so, you will need one or more of the following:
1. For 100mm, 4-in. and smaller pipe, emery cloth strips to “shoeshine” pipe ends.
2. For 150mm to 300mm (6 to 12 in.) pipe - Bondstrand MBO Pipe Shaver (NOV FGS CC#34342) plus arbor sizes as required. Arbors used are same as for M74 shaver.
3. For 350 to 600mm (14 to 24 in.) pipe — Bondstrand M81 Pipe shaver (NOV FGS CC #34354).
4. For 350 to 900mm (14 to 36 in.) pipe - Bondstrand M81 Pipe shaver (NOV FGS CC #34355).
Caution: Be aware that the standard assembly instructions for these couplings are intended for rigid metallicpipe materials and MAY DAMAGE THE BONDSTRAND PIPE. Instead, follow this step- by-step proce-dure:
a. Cutting Pipe to Length
When necessary to cut a pipe to length, measure the desired length and scribe the pipeusing a pipefitter’s wrap-around. Place the pipe in a vise, using 6mm (1/4 inch) thick rubberpad to protect pipe from damage. Cut pipe with hacksaw, saber saw or abrasive wheel. Pipeshould be square within 3mm (1/8 in.). Use a disc grinder or file to correct squareness asrequired.
b. Sand Cut Ends of Pipe
End surfaces of the plain end pipe should be either hand sanded using a 40—50 grit alu-minum oxide sanding surface or, if many ends are to be prepared, use a 6mm (1/4 inch) drillmotor, 1700-2000 RPM, and flapper type sander available from NOV FGS. Be sure to removeall sharp edges by sanding the inside and outside edges of the pipe end. Do not touch thesanded surface with bare hands or other articles that would leave an oily film.
A.3
c. Prepare Gasket Sealing Surfaces
Machining the surface of Bondstrand pipe is not required for a tight seal between the gasketand pipe wall. However, the winding techniques used in the manufacture of Bondstrandfiberglass pipe sometimes produce a somewhat oversized outside diameter. This increase indiameter sometimes may not permit the Viking Johnson Coupling to slide over the pipe endswhen installing plain-end pipe section.
d. Coat the Cut and Sanded Surfaces
Ends must be clean and dry. Select and apply a coating to the sanded end surfaces of thepipe and allow to dry thoroughly. A coating such as Amercoat 90, manufactured by NOV FGSProtective Coating Division, is suitable for water and other mildly corrosive services.
Note: On special order, NOV FGS can supply full-length Bondstrand pipe for couplings with ends prepared inaccordance with steps b, c, and d.
e. Lubricate the Joining Surfaces
Clean and lubricate the sealing rings and the outside surface of the pipe with the couplingmanufacturer’s recommended lubricant. The ring lubricant makes it easier to slip the ringsonto the pipe, and enables rings to seat properly when tightening bolts.
f. Mount and Assemble the Coupling
Slide the end flanges onto the pipe, followed by the lubricated sealing rings. Align the pipes,being careful not to bump or damage the pipe ends, and assemble the couplings over thecenter of the joint. The assembly of the coupling to Bondstrand fiberglass pipe should takeplace with the pipe supported in its final installation position.
g. Tighten the Bolts
Torque each bolt to 7 N-m (5 ft-lbs) in a diametrically opposite sequence. At 7 N-m (5 ft-lbs)torque, check to make sure that both end flanges are compressed evenly on the sealingrings. If the end flanges are not even, loosen the nuts and re-check alignment of pipe. Alsocheck to make sure that the end flanges are not binding on the pipe wall or the center sleeveand that there is clearance between the pipe ends.
Caution: Excess torque can damage pipe. Instructions that accompany Viking Johnson Couplings show generalassembly instructions and specify 70-90 foot-pounds (100-125 N-m) torque. This torque has beenshown to damage Bondstrand pipe.
h. Check Bolt Torque
After each bolt has been tightened to the required torque, re-check the torque on all bolts inthe same sequence. Bolts previously tightened may have relaxed as subsequent bolts weretightened.
TESTING
Be sure all pipe, fittings and appurtenances are properly and securely anchored before testing.Remember, the couplings themselves will not resist longitudinal load. Replace all air in the pipingsystem with water and test to 1-1/2 times the operating pressure for four hours, or as required by theproject specifications.
A.4
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If proper procedures have been followed, no difficulty should be experienced. If troublesome prob-lems occur, try the following suggestions:
1. Loosen all bolts and nuts.
2. Check for alignment of assembly. Rebuild to correct alignment if out of alignment.
3. Check the alignment of assembly. Replace damaged rings.
4. Measure the diameter of the pipe at the ring location. This measurement should be within thelimits shown on Table 1.

* Straub. Flex is a trade name of Straub Kupplungen, AG, Wangs, Switzerland and Thornhill, Ontario, Canada.
STRAUB-FLEX COUPLINGS*
Straub-Flex couplings may be used as mechanical joints for Bondstrand pipe much like Dresser-typecouplings. Tests of the Straub design show that the seal is effected without grinding or sanding ofthe pipe’s outer surface. The coupling is suitable for fire, salt water and crude oil lines and variousother services normally provided by Series 1600, 2000. 2000M, 6000 and 7000 piping, either sus-pended or buried. It may also be used with Series 4000 and 5000 piping in certain slurry applica-tions.
The coupling design, shown in Figure 1, incorporates a stainless steel outer casing split longitudinallyat one point on the circumference. The casing encloses a rubber gasket with a patented lip seal,which is pressed in place by a relatively low radial pressure. The coupling is installed on plain-endpipe using a torque wrench with a hex bit to tighten two socket-head cap screws. These featurespermit installation on Bondstrand pipe using the same bolt torques as recommended for steel pipe.
Straub-Flex couplings are not designed to withstand longitudinal forces. They allow 3/8-in. (10mm)longitudinal pipe movement per joint without slippage of the gasket lip on the pipe surface. Individualjoints should be protected against movements greater than 3/8-in. (10mm) to prevent gasket wear.Anchorages must be provided to prevent excessive accumulation of movement, particularly at thrustpoints such as valves, turns, branches or reducers.
The rubber gasket both dampens vibration and allows flexing of joints such as in piping on a ship.With proper support the coupling also allows up to 2 degrees of angular movement. This added flexi-bility, along with the coupling’s added weight, must be considered in the analysis of deflections andspans in suspended systems.

MATERIALS
Casing
Straub-Flex Type LS couplings have type 304 stainless steel casings and galvanized steel lock bolts.Type LS Special couplings are made of the same materials but have thicker casings. Types 316 and316L stainless steel casings and stainless steel lock bolts are available on special order.
Gaskets. Two synthetic rubber gaskets are available:
a. EPDM (ethylene propylene diene rubber)—a high quality synthetic rubber with excellentresistance to fresh or salt water, clean air, and sewage, and resistant to most moderatelycorrosive liquids in a pH range from 2 to 11. This rubber is not recommended for use withpetroleum products.
b. Buna-N (nitrile rubber)—-a synthetic rubber for use with oil, gasoline, natural gas and mostpetroleum products.
PRESSURE RATING
All types of Straub-Flex couplings shown in Table 1 are rated for at least 150 psi pressure. Contactthe manufacturer for possible lower ratings if stainless steel bolts are specified. Ratings include anallowance for test pressures up to 50 percent higher than rated pressure according to the manufac-turer. Higher pressure ratings are available in all sizes.The pressure ratings are for continuous service at 180ºF (82ºC) with the EPDM gasket, and for con-tinuous services at 160ºF (71ºC) with the Buna-N gasket.
OPTIONAL PROTECTION SLEEVE**
Heat-shrinkable thermoplastic sleeves may be used to provide a moisture and soil barrier around thecouplings after joint assembly. An adhesive inside the sleeve seals it against the pipe on the outsideto encapsulate the coupling.
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING
A Straub-Flex coupling may act as a joint insulator. If electrical continuity is required across the pipejoint for Bondstrand Series 7000 pipe, a separate electrical bonding strip should be placed acrossthe outside of the Straub-Flex casing, and connected to the pipe on both sides of the coupling.
LENGTH CHANGES IN BONDSTRAND
Bondstrand pipe changes length due to changes in temperature and pressure. Estimate thesechanges by referring to Chapter 2 “Design for Expansion and Contraction” contained in this manual.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
Using Straub-Flex couplings, joining Bondstrand is similar to joining steel pipe, except for sealing cutpipe ends. Depending on chemical exposure, you may need a suitable coating to cover exposedglass fibers on the cut ends. It is usually not necessary to sand or shave the outer surface ofBondstrand pipe as the Straub couplings make a tight seal on the as-wound surface. Exceptions aregiven in step “c” of this procedure.
You may use the standard joining instructions for Straub-Flex couplings as used with steel pipe. Youwill need the following tools:
1. Torque wrench reading in increments of 5 ft-lbs (7 N-m.)
2. Hacksaw, saber saw or abrasive wheel.
3. Duster brush or clean rags.
Steps “b” and “d” given below are recommended for piping in which the cut pipe ends must be pro-tected against chemical attack or abrasion. In slurry applications, the user should be aware that thejoint cavity may fill with sediment, restricting flexibility.
a. Cut Pipe to Length
When cutting is necessary, measure the desired length and scribe the pipe using a pipefit-ter’s wraparound. Place the pipe in a vise, using 1/4-inch (6mm) thick rubber pad to protectpipe from damage. Cut pipe with hacksaw, saber saw or abrasive wheel. Pipe end cutshould be square within 1/8-inch (3mm). Use a disc grinder or file to correct squareness asrequired.
b. Sand Cut Ends of Pipe
End surfaces of cut pipe should be sanded either by hand using a 40-50 grit aluminum oxidesanding surface or using a 1/4-in. (6mm) drill motor 1700-2000 RPM with a flapper-typesander available from NOV FGS. Be sure to remove all sharp edges by sanding the inside andoutside edges of the pipe end. Do not touch the sanded surface with bare hands or articlesthat leave an oily film.
c. Prepare Gasket Sealing Surfaces
Machining the gasket sealing surfaces at the ends of Bondstrand pipe is not generallyrequired for a tight seal between the gasket and pipe wall. However, two-inch (50mm) pipewill require shaving of the ends, since its average outside diameter of 2.42 in. (61.5mm) islarger than can be fitted by the two-inch Straub-Flex coupling (Article No. 005761).
The coupling manufacturer recommends that the difference in outside diameters of mating pipe endsbe no greater than 0.12 in. (3mm), to avoid distortion of the coupling and damage to the cap screwswhile joining. Using a diameter tape, measure the outside diameters of pipe ends to ensure that thisdifference is not exceeded. If the difference is larger than permissible, milling or shaving of the largerend is necessary. Because Bondstrand Series 2000M and Series 7000 pipe in sizes 10 and 12 in.(250 and 300mm) have outside diameters larger than steel pipe, their ends must be shaved to mateto standard outside diameters of steel pipe and fittings.
A.8
d. Coat the Cut Ends and Gasket Sealing Surfaces (Lined Pipe Only)
Surfaces must be sanded, clean and dry for coating. Select and apply a coating to the cutends and shaved gasket sealing surfaces of the pipe and allow to dry thoroughly. A coating coversexposed glass fibers and is suitable for water and other mildly corrosive services.Bondstrand PSXTM-34 adhesive may also be suitable.
Note: On special order, NOV FGS can supply full-length Bondstrand pipe for Straub couplings with ends pre-pared in accordance with steps b, c and d.
e. Fit the Coupling
With the pipe ends ready for joining, chalk a mark on each end at a distance equal to halfthe coupling width. Joining of the pipe should be done with the pipe supported in its finalinstallation position.
Couplings are supplied loosely assembled. Slide the coupling onto the end of one pipe up to thechalk’s mark. Align the second pipe end and slide it into the coupling, using care not to bump ordamage the pipe ends. Center the coupling over the two pipe ends, leaving a small clearancebetween the pipe ends.
Note: Do not soap the inside surfaces of the gaskets or the outside surface of the pipe.
f. Tighten the Bolts
Using a torque wrench with a hex bit, alternately torque each of the two socket-head capscrews to the recommended torques. Ensure that there is clearance between pipe ends.
TESTING
Because Straub-Flex couplings do not resist longitudinal load, make sure all pipe, fittings and appur-tenances are properly and securely anchored before testing. Replace all air in the system with water,and test to 1-1/2 times the operating pressure for four hours or as required by the project specifica-tions.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If proper procedures have been followed, no difficulty should be experienced. If a joint leaks, try thefollowing:
1. Disassemble the leaky coupling and an adjacent coupling and remove a pipe section forexaminaton of the rubber gasket and the pipe ends.
2. If the gasket is damaged, replace with another coupling.
3. If the pipe end is not within the diameter limits shown in Table 2, or has abnormally roughsurface or grooves, sand the pipe end surfaces and reinstall the pipe.

2. 8 and 10 in. (200-250 mm) sizes must be ordered with special casing thickness because the standard coupling only pro-vides (15 bar) and (12 bar) maximum pressure. Casing does provide > 225 psi (10 bar) minimum pressure rating.
3. Couplings with higher pressure ratings are available on special order.
APPENDIX BGROUNDING OF SERIES 7000M PIPING
Electrical charges generated within flowing fluids with low conductivity such as liquid hydrocarbonfuels can cause hazardous static charges to build up on the surfaces of the pipe. To overcome thisproblem and still offer the advantages inherent in RTB piping, NOV FGS has developed special pipingsystems-Bondstrand Series 7000 and 7000M. These piping systems provide electrical continuitythroughout by incorporating conductive elements into the structural wall of the pipe, flanges and theinterior surface of the fittings, and through the use of a specially formulated adhesive which providesthe conductivity required at the bonded joints.
Proper installation and grounding is important for the safe operation of Series 7000 and 7000M pipewhen carrying these charge-generating fluids. This bulletin explains how these products are to beinstalled, grounded and checked to verify their electrical continuity.
ASSEMBLY OF PIPE
All Series 7000 and 7000M piping are assembled using electrically conductive Bondstrand PSXTM-60adhesive. This special two-component epoxy adhesive is supplied in kit form. Detailed applicationinstructions are contained in “Bondstrand Assembly Instructions, PSXTM-60 Epoxy Adhesive,” FP827.
ADHESIVE MOUNTING OF GROUNDING SADDLE
Grounding saddles provide a positive method of electrically grounding the piping system. On thepipe, determine where the grounding saddle will be located. Using a flapper sander, sand until thesurface gloss is removed from at least a 3-in. width around the pipe circumference as needed to fitthe saddle on the area selected. This exposes the conductive elements in the pipe wall and producesa clean, fresh surface suitable for bonding the grounding saddle to the pipe surface.
Before bonding on saddle, place probes from a standard ohmmeter at least two in. apart on conduc-tive elements exposed by sanding pipe surface. If measured resistance exceeds 106 ohms, moresanding is required.
If measured resistance is below 106 ohms, bond the grounding saddle onto the clean, dry surfacewithin two hours using PSXTM-60 Epoxy Adhesive. After continuity checks recommended herein,grounding cable must be attached to ship structure.
METALLIC FITTINGS
All metallic fittings must be individually grounded. Tees, elbows, etc. should be welded or otherwiseconnected directly to the ship or other grounding structure. Metallic mechanical joints such asDresser or Straub must be grounded. If mechanical joints are used, at least one grounding saddle willbe required for each length of pipe.
B.1
ELECTRICAL CONTINUITY CHECK
Prefabricated Spools.
This may be done in one of three ways:
a. Non-Flanged Prefabricated Spools.
After shop fabrications but before onboard installation and grounding, spools should bechecked for electrical continuity. Sand lightly around the pipe surface at each end of thespool where the steel hose clamps will attach. Mount the two steel hose clamps over theprepared surface and measure the resistance between them as shown on Figure 1.
b. Flanged Prefabricated Spools.
Flange assemblies should be checked by placing a bolt with washer and nut through each ofthe flanges and tightening, then measuring the resistance between the flanges at each endof the assembly as shown on Figure 2.
B.2
Fig. 1 Electrical Continuity Check Diagram for Non-flanged Prefabricate Spools
Fig. 2 Electrical Continuity Check Diagram for Flanged Prefabricate Spools
C. Flanged One End Only Spools.
This assembly should be checked by following the procedure established in b. above for theflanged end and the procedure established in a. above for the plain end as shown in Figure 3.
Apply sufficient voltage between the hose clamps to measure the electrical resistance in the spoolusing a standard generator- type insulation tester* capable of applying up to 1,500 volts dc. Themeasured resistance should not exceed 106 ohms.
Onboard Check During New Construction.
Piping should be checked electrically as installation proceeds onboard ship. After mounting agrounding saddle (A) as shown on Figure 4, the length of piping from the grounding saddle to theend of the pipe run should be electrically insulated by placing a layer of nonconducting rubber (B)temporarily between the remaining unattached supports and the free end of the pipe.
Attach a steel hose clamp over the pipe surface at the free end and use the tester to measure theresistance between the hose clamp and the ship structure. Current must flow back through the pipe,fittings and joints to the nearest grounding support clamp to complete the circuit as shown in Figure1. As before, the measured resistance must not exceed 106 ohms between any two grounding sup-ports.
After the electrical continuity of the piping has been verified, the non-conducting rubber pads at thegrounding supports should be removed. Proceed to bond the pipe into the remaining grounding sad-dle.

Onboard Check During Drydock for Maintenance and Repair
Fiberglass piping systems using Series 7000 and 7000M pipe and fittings should be checked duringeach drydock inspection while the tanks are “gas freed” to ensure that the systems are still properlygrounded. This can be done using either of the following procedures:
a. Electrically Isolated Piping
The straps attached to the grounding saddle utilized to ground the piping system must bedisconnected and the pipe electrically isolated from the structure of the ship shown onFigure 4. Tightly fasten two steel hose clamps at opposite ends of the pipe spool being test-ed and measure the resistance between them using a standard generator—type insulationtester capable of applying 1,500 volts dc. The resistance should not exceed 106 ohms. Nowattach one of the grounding cables to the structure of the ship and in like fashion check theresistance between the pipe and the structure of the ship.
Important: To ensure that each grounding saddle is functioning properly, no more than one grounding strap ata time should be connected to the ship’s structure during the test.
b. Grounded Piping
If it is impossible to electrically isolate the system, each section of pipe must be checkedseparately. This may be done by placing a steel hose clamp on each section of pipe (definedas a length between bonded joints) and measuring the resistance between it and the nearestgrounding location as described above.

APPENDIX CSIZING OF SHIPBOARD PIPING
Shipyards and design agencies have used various methods to evaluate and select velocities for eachapplication. These methods have yielded acceptable sizes, pressure drops and efficiency losses andhave allowed adaptation of the nearest standard pipe size in the preliminary design stages.
The method discussed herein uses the inside diameter factor to calculate maximum velocities andflow in gallons per minute for Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) 1 to 36 with Iron Pipe Size (IPS) and MetricCast Iron (MCI) internal diameters.
For Bondstrand fiberglass piping systems a maximum allowable velocity of 15 ft./sec. has beenestablished. This is to prevent erosion which might occur at higher fluid velocities. Table 1 showsinside diameter factors
ID 1/2 ; ID 1/3 ; and ID 2
For NPS 1 to 36 IPS and MCI internal diameter configurations. Table 2 shows fourteen inside diame-ter functions for different shipboard piping systems.
Applying the IDF (inside diameter function) for a given piping system, maximum velocity value for dif-ferent pipe sizes can be obtained as follows:
Example A:
Calculate the maximum velocity and maximum flow rate for a 6-in. IPS fiberglass pipe to be used ina feed discharge system.
IDF for feed discharge = 220 ID1/2 = (From Table 2)
I.D. Factor for 6 in. (IPS) = ID1/2 = 2.50 (From Table 1)
V(fpm) = 220 x 2.50 = 550 fpm.
V(fps) =

Note: 1) System internal operating pressures may be limited by mechanical joints, fittings or anchoring requirements tovalues below the rating of the pipe itself.
2) Pipe design resists collapse due to combined internal suction head and external fluid pressure. For example, a63-psi (4.3-bar) external pressure rating allows for 120 ft (37 m) of water plus a 75% (suction head) with asafety factor of 2 to minimum ultimate collapse pressure
APPENDIX EPIPING SUPPORT FOR NON-RESTRAINED MECHANICAL JOINTS
This bulletin offers suggestions for supporting and anchoring Bondstrand piping systems joined withbolted coupling mechanical joints which do not offer axial restraint. These bolted couplings are thestandard designs offered by Dresser, Viking- Johnson, Rockwell, Straub, R.H. Baker and otherswhich seal by means of an elastomeric gasket or gland seal against the outside diameter of the pipe.
The flexibility allowed by bolted couplings must be accounted for in calculating allowable spanlengths. Also, provisions for anchoring against hydrostatic thrusts must be incorporated into thedesign.
Span Recommendations
Recommended maximum spans for Bondstrand pipe joined with bolted couplings can be determinedby use of the following equation:
L = 0.207
Where L = support spacing (ft),
EI = beam stiffness psi (lb-in2), see Tables 4—3 and 4-4
w = Total uniformly distributed load (Ib/linear in.),
In metric units:
L = 0.0995
Where L = support spacing (in),
EI = beam stiffness psi (kg-cm2), see Tables 4—3 and 4-4
w = Total uniformly distributed load (kg/mm).
These spans are intended for normal horizontal piping support arrangements as shown in Figure 1;i.e., those which have no fittings, valves, or vertical runs incorporated within the span.
Anchoring Recommendations
Bolted couplings, not designed to withstand longitudinal forces, allow 3/8-in. (10mm) longitudinalpipe movement per joint without slippage of the gasket lip on the pipe surface. Individual jointsshould be protected against movements greater than 3/8-in. (10mm) to prevent gasket wear as wellas preventing, in severe cases, the pipe from moving out of the coupling. Anchors must be providedat thrust points such as valves, turns, branches, or reducers, as well as at locations where excessivemovement may occur (see Figure 1).
Figure 2 shows how mechanically coupled pipe should be supported and anchored at fittings.Supports must be designed to carry the weight of the pipe and its contents. Anchors are located atthe terminal points of the piping system or where there is a change in direction and should bedesigned to withstand thrusts due to internal line pressure.

1.4 Definitions
The following definitions provide clarification for regulatory requirements related to the use of plastic pipe offshore. While API RP 500 is the source for most of the definitions, some have been taken from USCG documents.
1. Flammable: Capable of igniting easily, burning intensely or spreading flame rapidly.
2. Flammable fluid: Any fluid, regardless of its flash point, capable of feeding a fire, is to be treated as flammable fluid. Aviation fuel, diesel fuel, hydraulic oil (oil based), lubricating oil, crude oil, and hydrocarbon, are to be considered flammable fluids. Flammable liquid (Class I Liquid): Any liquid having a closed-cup flash point below 37.8°C (100°F) as determined by the test procedures and apparatus specified in NFPA 30. Flammable liquids are subdivided into classes IA, IB and IC.
3. Combustible liquid: Any liquid having a closed cup flash point at or above 100°F (38°C) as determined by the test procedures and apparatus specified in NFPA 30. Combustible liquids are subdivided as follows:
• Class II liquids – liquids with flash point at or above 37.8°C (100°F) and below 60°C (140°F).
• Class IIIA liquids – liquids having flash points at or above 60°C (140°F) and below 93°C (200°F).
• Class IIIB liquids – liquids having flash points at or above 93°C (200°F)
4. Flash point: The minimum temperature at which a liquid gives off vapor in sufficient concentration to form an ignitable mixture with air immediately above the liquid surface.
5. Hazardous location: Synonymous to Classified Area.
6. Classified Area: A location in which flammable gases or vapors are, or may be, present in the air in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or ignitable mixtures.
7. Class I, Division 1 location: A location in which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases or vapors are expected to exist under normal operating conditions
8. Class I, Division 2 location: A location in which flammable gases or vapors may be present, but normally are confined within closed systems or are prevented from accumulating by adequate ventilation.
9. Hazardous liquid: any liquid that is combustible, flammable or toxic.
10. Essential systems: Systems that are vital to the safety of the vessel, fire fighting and protection of personnel.
2 ADVANTAGES OF FIBERGLASS PIPE
Fiberglass pipe products have unique characteristics, which offer distinct advantages in offshore piping systems. Some of the advantages are highlighted below.
January 2003
CEAC 5
2.1 Light Weight
Fiberglass pipe systems are 40 to 50 percent of the weight of competitive metallic pipe materials. Piping systems typically constitute 5 percent of total topsides weight. If 20 percent of the piping is replaced with fiberglass, a weight savings of 30 to 50 tons can be achieved through the use of fiberglass pipe.
2.2 Corrosion Resistance
Fiberglass pipe products do not corrode as metallic products do. Fiberglass firewater systems are reliable because there is no corrosion debris to clog the nozzles. Corrosion inhibitors are not required in piping systems that handle corrosive fluids. Fiberglass systems require little maintenance and should provide good service for the entire life of most projects.
2.3 Cost
The installed cost of fiberglass pipe systems may be less than coated steel and is typically less than that for corrosion resistant alloys (CRA). Low maintenance cost is also a major advantage of fiberglass systems. The life cycle cost of fiberglass systems is typically substantially less than carbon steel as well as CRA systems. Fiberglass pipe requires less maintenance and since hot work is not required, interruptions in production are not a factor during repair or modification procedures.
2.4 Fire Endurance
Fiberglass products can offer significant performance advantages for fire water systems. Fiberglass pipe is more resistant to hydrocarbon fires than Schedule 10 copper-nickel pipe. Fiberglass has low thermal conductivity, which keeps the ID of dry deluge piping from getting as hot as metal piping in a fire. (Dry metal piping can get very hot in a fire resulting in the formation of high pressure steam when the deluge system is activated.) Some fiberglass products are resistant to jet fires and others have very low smoke and toxicity ratings that allow usage in inaccessible spaces in accommodation and control areas. The fire endurance of normally wet (water filled) systems is very good.
2.5 Safety
Improved work place safety is a very significant advantage of using fiberglass piping materials. The light weight of fiberglass results in fewer back and hand injuries during construction. Hot work is not required during fabrication or repair of fiberglass systems and that eliminates many potential injuries that can occur during construction and during operations.
2.6 Flow Characteristics
Fiberglass pipe has excellent flow characteristics. The smooth I.D. surface of fiberglass results in less resistance to fluid flow. The Hazen Williams coefficient for fiberglass is 150 as compared to 130 for new welded galvanized steel. Accounting for the good flow characteristics of fiberglass in the hydraulic design of piping systems can result in significant cost savings. The cost savings can be realized in either of two ways. The proposed pipe
January 2003
CEAC 6
diameter may be decreased while maintaining the specified flow rate, or smaller pumps can be specified with the original pipe diameter and flow rate [Reference 1]. The smooth I.D. surface of fiberglass also inhibits the build up of marine growth.
2.7 Marine Growth
The smooth bore of fiberglass pipe also results in good resistance to marine growth. Marine organisms may attach themselves to fiberglass surfaces under static conditions, but are normally removed from the bore by flow of the effluent.
3 APPLICATION GUIDELINES
3.1 Common Applications
There are many piping systems on an offshore production platform. In the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), fiberglass piping generally can be considered for water systems that are non-essential, non-hazardous and non-flammable (see definitions in Section 1.4). However, fiberglass products can also be used in firewater systems, an essential system, if the chosen products pass the specified fire tests and are approved by the authority having jurisdiction (see Section 3.2). The following is a list of the more common offshore applications at this time.
• Fire water systems
• Seawater cooling systems
• Injection water
• Produced water
• Potable water
• Drain piping
• Sanitary piping
• Ballast water
• Column piping
• Crude oil cargo piping for FPSO’s
3.2 Regulatory Agencies and Classing Societies
Fiberglass piping systems on offshore E&P facilities will be subject to review and approval by the regulatory organizations with jurisdictional authority in the region of deployment. The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), for example, has regulatory responsibilities for floating facilities in the GOM, and they have some responsibilities for fixed platforms as well. The U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS) is another regulatory agency with jurisdiction over platforms in the GOM. The USCG and the MMS share the jurisdiction for various areas on GOM platforms in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that that has been issued by these agencies. The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) and the
January 2003
CEAC 7
UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) have regional jurisdiction for E&P facilities in the North Sea.
The USCG requirements for fiberglass pipe are stated in NVIC 11-86 , GUIDELINES GOVERNING THE USE OF FIBERGLASS PIPE ON COAST GUARD INSPECTED VESSELS and IMO Resolution A.753 (18), GUIDELINES FOR THE APPLICATION OF PLASTIC PIPE ON SHIPS. Policy file memoranda such as PFM 1-98 are issued to clarify the IMO document.
The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), a classing society, often has responsibility for enforcement of USCG requirements in the GOM. ABS has guidelines (rules) for plastic pipe that usually reflect USCG requirements. The ABS rules for plastic pipe are stated in Appendix 1 of the ABS GUIDE FOR BUILDING AND CLASSING FACILITIES ON OFFSHORE INSTALLATIONS 2000. There are several classing societies including Det Norske Veritas (DNV), Lloyds Register (LR), Bureau Veritas (BV) and Nippon K (NK-Japan). Any one of these societies may be responsible for the enforcement of regulatory requirements on behalf of the authority having jurisdiction.
Offshore projects may also be located in parts of the world where there is no regulatory agency. In this case owners often choose to have a classing society oversee the construction of E&P systems. Each of the classing societies has “rules” that can be used to assure the integrity of materials and designs for offshore facilities.
It is best if commercial products are qualified to the performance requirements of the regulatory agencies and the classing societies prior to use on a project. Products that have been qualified by these agencies are said to have Type Approval. The approval process is incumbent on the manufacturers of fiberglass products since many agencies are used globally in the E&P business. Products without Type Approval must be approved by the authority on a project to project basis. This adds a time consuming step to the process, so project teams will not usually accept products not having Type Approval.
It is important to know what set of requirements are assured by a Type Approval certificate. A Type Approval granted by the USCG provides assurance that the product meets all the performance criteria required by the USCG. However, a classing society may grant a Type Approval to any specification desired by the manufacturer. A list of products with ABS Type Approval can be found at http://www.eagle.org/typeapproval/contents.html.
3.3 Fire Endurance Requirements
The USCG and ABS both provide a list of piping applications that might be considered for the use of fiberglass in the “Fire Endurance Requirements Matrix”. This matrix covers the various piping applications and the locations of all eligible piping systems on offshore facilities. The ABS fire endurance matrix is shown in Appendix A of this document. The categories having Level 3 (L3), Level 3 wet/dry (LWD) or zero (0) fire endurance requirements are current candidates for fiberglass piping. Level 3 endurance requires survival of a 30-minute fire test conducted on pipe samples filled and pressurized with stagnant water. Level 3 wet/dry endurance requires survival of fire tests conducted on pipe samples that are dry for 5 minutes, then filled with water for 25 minutes (flow allowed). A

fire endurance of 0 indicates an application category that has no fire endurance requirements. The fire endurance levels are defined under the fire endurance matrix in Appendix A.
The fire endurance matrix allows fiberglass pipe in many applications. The matrix has many cells with either Level 3 (L3) or no (0) fire endurance requirement. Most applications of interest for offshore platforms, however, are in the open deck areas (column K) of the fire endurance matrix. If one considers the “sea water’ applications on open decks, all non-essential systems are allowed to use fiberglass products that have no fire endurance rating. Fiberglass products with L3 ratings can be used in firewater ring mains if installed in accordance with the requirements of PFM 1-98. Fiberglass products with LWD or “jet fire” ratings are allowed for dry deluge systems. Fiberglass products have not yet been qualified to Level 2 endurance tests, so none are presently allowed in seawater systems for essential services. Seawater systems that are allowed in other areas of the platform include ballast water piping in enclosed areas and column pipes.
Fresh water systems have similar restrictions. Fiberglass products without fire endurance ratings can be used for potable water, for condensate returns and for non-essential services. Fire endurance ratings of L3 are required for fresh-water cooling of essential service systems.
Fiberglass piping can be used for deck drains in most locations. Fiberglass can also be used for sanitary drains. Phenolic-based fiberglass products have unusually low smoke and toxicity characteristics and can be used for sanitary piping in inaccessible or concealed areas of accommodation, service and control spaces. Drain lines that transmit hydrocarbons, even in low concentrations, are not currently allowed in fiberglass by the USCG.
3.4 Conductivity Requirements
IMO RESOLUTION A.753.(18), Section 2.2.5.3 states that all plastic piping in hazardous areas must be electrically conductive regardless of the fluid conveyed. The IMO requirement applies to all hazardous areas, both Division 1 and Division 2. The ABS rules include an identical requirement. Where electrically conductive pipe is required by ABS, the resistance per unit length of pipes and fittings must not exceed 1x105 Ohm/m, and the resistance to earth (ground) from any point in the system must not exceed 1.0 megohm. Most pipe manufacturers provide conductive products for the offshore market.

4 ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS
Fiberglass pipe systems can be quite robust with proper attention to system design. It is also true that inadequate attention to system design can result in premature system failures. Piping analysis and design are similar to metal systems, but input values for stress allowables and elastic properties are different. Fiberglass systems have some unique characteristics that designers must take into consideration.
4.1 Hydraulic Design
Fiberglass products have advantages in hydraulic performance as compared to steel products. The ID of fiberglass products is normally larger than carbon steel for the same nominal diameter. The smooth interior surface of fiberglass has a Hazen Williams coefficient of 150, resulting in less friction loss and higher flow rates per unit horsepower. Further, the interior surface remains smooth over time. The interior surface of carbon steel is not as smooth when new, and the roughness will increase 30 to 40 percent over twenty years service. These factors can have a significant impact on pipe size, pump size (horsepower) or electric power usage over time. Reference 1 provides useful guidelines for the optimization of the hydraulic performance of fiberglass systems.
4.2 Pressure Ratings The pressure ratings for fiberglass offshore piping systems are normally based on the pressure limits of connections and fittings. The pressure rating should include a safety factor of 4.0, minimum, if based on short term burst tests of fittings and connections. Pressure ratings may also be based on long or medium term pressure endurance tests as defined in Appendix A, ASTM F1173. Manufacturers should always provide the basis when pressure ratings are cited.
4.3 Line Layouts
Fiberglass pipe and fittings do not have standardized dimensions. A line layout for an offshore system or spool isometric drawings for one product will usually apply to a second product, but the pipe cut lengths may vary from product to product.
4.4 Piping Stress Analysis It is very important that a piping stress analysis is performed on each fiberglass system. A static analysis should be performed on wet systems considering the effects of all combined loading. A dry system such as deluge piping should be analyzed for the dynamic conditions created when a deluge system is activated and filled suddenly with pressurized water. The analysis of all systems should include considerations of water hammer and other dynamic pressure conditions.
It is important to obtain the properties and the stress allowables needed for stress analysis directly from the manufacturer. The manufacturer should provide design allowables as well as typical properties. Allowables are needed for both long term and short term loads. The analysis software needs to have provisions for non-isotropic pipe materials.

The analysis needs to check for excessive stress that may result from internal pressure combined with loadings caused by thermal expansion, bending, momentum, water hammer, etc. Fiberglass pipe is generally designed to resist internal pressure and does not have the same level of reserve strength in the axial direction as steel pipe. All service conditions that produce axial stress or bending stress need to be included in the stress analysis to preclude failures due to excessive axial stresses. The analyses are needed to locate and size anchors and guides for the system. Manufacturers will provide assistance with the stress analysis and most will take responsibility for the analysis for a fee.
4.5 Special Design Considerations
Fiberglass pipe for the marine market normally has added thickness to provide more resistance to impact loading, handling and vacuum. However, fiberglass materials are not ductile like carbon steel and some additional design considerations are needed.
January 2003
CEAC 11
Supports
Special attention is needed in the design of supports for fiberglass systems. The following rules should be followed in design of supports, anchors and guides:
§ Avoid point loads
§ Protect against abrasion with support pads
§ Comply with recommended maximum support span dimensions
§ Provide independent steel supports for valves and other heavy components
§ Avoid excessive bending. (Small branch lines will be subjected to excessive bending if the main line is not anchored in the area of the branch line.)
§ Provide adequate support for vertical runs
Abuse
Fiberglass pipe may need protection during installation and service to prevent inadvertent damage. Situations that may result in damage to the pipe include:
§ Small diameter piping that may be stepped on for personnel support
§ Piping subject to impact from dropped objects
§ Piping subject to impact from booms, cables, chains etc.
§ Impact shielding may be needed in some situations.
Transient Pressure Loads
Fiberglass piping is more susceptible to damage from transient pressure loads than carbon steel. Special attention should be given to the following system design features:
§ Minimize pressure spikes due to pump startups.
§ Reduce valve closure speeds to eliminate water hammer.
§ Incorporate air release valves at high points in system to bleed all air from system.
§ Incorporate vacuum breakers in long vertical runs to prevent pipe failure from internal vacuum pressure during system draining.
§ Train all personnel in the correct operation of system valves.
It is important that transient pressure loads are minimized to preclude premature failures in the piping system.

5. PROJECT ENGINEERING
Projects for offshore production facilities are often organized into five phases:
Phase I: The evaluation & development of alternative system concepts
Phase II: Feasibility studies & selection of one system concept
Phase III: Front-end engineering for selected concept
Phase IV: Detailed engineering, construction & installation
Phase V: Operation and evaluation
Fiberglass is an alternative piping material that could be of interest for any offshore facility. The consideration of alternative materials for piping systems normally occurs in the third stage of the project when engineering options are explored. A materials engineer can provide a list of qualified commercial products, potential vendors and specifications for fiberglass piping.
5.1 Evaluation of Alternative Materials
Some project personnel may have limited experience with alternative piping materials. If alternative materials such as fiberglass are to be considered, the project team will need updated information to make valid comparisons and good engineering decisions in product selection. One member of the team should be assigned responsibility for collecting comparative data for commercial products that are appropriate for offshore facilities.
Comparative product data should include the following information:
§ Brand names & product series
§ Fire endurance rating
§ System pressure ratings by diameter (pipe & fittings)
§ Basis for pressure ratings
§ System temperature ratings
§ Type Approvals
§ Fittings construction method
§ Construction resin
§ Special features (low flame spread, electrical conductivity, etc.)
A spreadsheet incorporating the above data will be quite helpful in selecting the best candidate products. An example is shown in Table 5-1.

5.2 Cost Analysis
Economics is one of the most important factors in the evaluation of alternative materials. Materials can be compared based on material costs, installed costs or life cycle costs. It takes more effort to determine installed costs or life cycle costs, but these steps are essential to develop a valid cost comparison of alternative materials. A cost analysis example is included in Appendix B. This example includes installation and maintenance cost estimates for fiberglass, Schedule 80 carbon steel and Schedule 40 copper nickel piping systems. The costs shown are based on several assumptions and the reader is encouraged to perform an independent analysis using material, labor and maintenance costs that are applicable to the project under consideration.
5.3 Product Selection
Product selection should be based on the best match of product features and the performance requirements for a given piping system. There is considerable variation in the features of available fiberglass products as shown in Table 5-1. It is important that the characteristics for each product are well understood and are evaluated carefully before selecting final candidates.
The projected cost is always an important consideration in product selection. Pipe manufacturers will provide budgetary prices for use in the selection of acceptable product candidates for a given project. However, budgetary pricing information needs to be evaluated carefully. For example, fittings constitute a high percentage of the materials cost for a typical offshore system, so the price for fittings is far more important than the price for pipe. Also, manufacturers offer different levels of service with the sale of piping materials. It is important to understand what services are included with budgetary price estimates so a direct comparison is made.
If possible, two or more products should be selected for consideration in the procurement stage of the project. Two or more approved products will assure that competitive prices are obtained for the project. Two approved products also provide assurance of a second source of qualified product in the event that adequate supplies are not available from the first source.
6 PROJECT EXECUTION
6.1 System Design
Detailed design of offshore piping systems are normally accomplished by the engineering contractor for topsides facilities. A quality assurance review of the design phase should be considered to assure that the interests of all stakeholders, system owner (Owner), operators and regulators, are addressed in each phase of the system design. The quality plan can address the assumptions, the criteria and the analyses required to address all the requirements of applicable specifications, regulatory rules and Owner requirements. Oversight of the design review should be the responsibility of an Owner employee or a project team member.
Detailed design of a piping system will include hydraulic design, selection of pumps and valves, routing of the pipe, location of air release valves to bleed air from the system, design of anchors
January 2003
CEAC 16
(and guides) and structural analysis of the system. The structural analyses should be conducted using software that complies with the specifications for the project. The structural analysis should consider all static loads, dynamic loads (filling of the dry deluge system) and combined loads specified in the design requirements provided by the project team. The location of guides and anchors should be adjusted and the system reanalyzed until the specified safety factors are realized throughout the system. Stress allowables and physical properties for the fiberglass pipe should be obtained from the manufacturer and approved by the Owner. After approval, the results of the detailed engineering work should be used to specify the piping system in the job specification. The job specification will be used for the procurement process.
6.2 The Procurement Process
Two key documents are needed to assure that qualified products are selected in the procurement process, a job specification and a procurement specification.
The piping engineer should prepare the job specification and it should contain all the data and the performance requirements that are applicable to a specific project. The data should include a line lay out that will enable potential vendors to prepare an accurate materials list. The job specification should also include all the performance specifications for the job as summarized below:
• System type
• Pipe diameter
• Design temperature
• Design pressure
• Piping fluid
• Location
• Layout drawings
• Bill of materials
• Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction
Procurement Specification
The procurement specification can be an industry document from ASTM, API or ISO. ASTM F1173 is written specifically for offshore facilities. The procurement specification may also be an internal company specification that references an industry document. The procurement specification will define the general performance requirements that products must satisfy to qualify for the job. General performance requirements will include properties such as pressure ratings (pipe and fittings), fire endurance, flame spread, electrical conductivity, etc. Procurement specifications may include test procedures that must be used as well as the test results that must be obtained. The procurement specification should also define the quality
January 2003
CEAC 17
assurance procedures that must be used in manufacturing, handling and shipping. Manufacturers who want to participate in the procurement process must submit the data required to show that proposed products do in fact meet the requirements of the procurement specification. The procurement officer should work closely with the piping engineer and others with the expertise needed to evaluate the qualification data from prospective suppliers.
Table 6-1 shows criteria covered by IMO Resolution A.753(18), USCG PFM 1-98, ABS Rules for Plastic Pipe Installations, ASTM F1173-01 and ISO 14692, all procurement specifications applicable to fiberglass piping systems for offshore platforms.
The use of Type Approvals can streamline the procurement process. With Type Approvals, third party agencies such as ABS assume the task of qualifying commercial products to one or more of the applicable specifications. The agencies also perform periodic audits to assure ongoing compliance with the specifications. It is important, however, that the user understands which requirements are assured by any given Type Approval. Table 6-2 demonstrates the criteria or specifications that are usually covered by USCG Type Approvals and by ABS Type Approvals.

Purchase of Manufacturer Services
The procurement documents should state clearly the services that are expected of the manufacturer. Fiberglass pipe manufacturers provide piping material, pipe and fittings, but they often offer the additional services listed below, services that can be extremely valuable to a project team.
• Assistance with system design
• Stress analysis of piping systems
• Fabrication of pipe spools
• Training of fabrication and supervisory personnel
• Fabrication of systems on the construction site
• Fit-up of fiberglass system to mating valves, vessels, piping etc.
• Proof test of piping system
• Training of operations personnel
• Inspection services
January 2003
CEAC 20
The procurement documents should clearly define the level of service desired in each of these areas.
Turnkey Purchase Option
Fiberglass pipe manufacturers usually offer the option of supplying a turnkey installation as opposed to supplying materials and selected services. A turnkey procurement means that the manufacturer takes full responsibility not only for the quality of the piping material, but also the fabrication of spools, the installation of the piping on the platform, fit up of the fiberglass piping to mating hardware such as pipes and tanks, and proof test of the installed system. Turnkey installations may also include an extended warranty with associated inspection and maintenance services.
6.3 Installation
Certification of Installation Personnel
Fiberglass pipe can be installed by the manufacturer, by a subcontractor to the manufacturer or by the general contractor. All the above are used successfully. However, it is extremely important that fiberglass pipe is always installed by personnel who are trained and certified to a specification approved by the owner. ASME B31.3, for example, provides procedures for the installation personnel. This includes the laborers who make up the joints and install the fittings, and the inspectors who supervise the work. Training and certification of installation personnel is a very important requirement for successful installations of fiberglass piping.
Construction Quality Assurance
It is recommended that the Owner establish a formal quality assurance (QA) program to review the manufacture and construction phase of the project. Owner inspectors should review the manufacturing facilities and operations periodically to assure that the quality provisions of the procurement specification are satisfied. The QA plan for the construction phase should be written, reviewed and agreed to by all stakeholders prior to the start of construction activities. The Owner’s inspector or his representative should have oversight responsibility for all the fabrication work and fit up work that is conducted on the construction site. The Owner’s inspector should assure that all construction personnel are trained and certified. The Owner’s inspector should witness the proof test of the total system.
Proof Test
All closed fiberglass systems should be tested with hydrostatic pressure after installation. The test should be conducted in accordance with specifications approved by the owner. The ISO 14692 specification provides good guidelines for conducting a system pressure test. Fiberglass systems are usually required to withstand a test pressure of 1.5 times the operating pressure or 1.1 times design pressure for a minimum of one hour without visible signs of leakage.
Individual pipe joints and fittings are subject to proof testing of 1.5 times pressure rating on a lot basis during the manufacturing process. Individual spools may also be subjected to proof testing before installation. Therefore, the primary purpose of the system proof test is to identify
January 2003
CEAC 21
system leaks and it is not usually necessary to subject the entire system to pressure 1.5 times the system rating.
6.4 Project Quality Assurance Plan
A formal quality assurance (QA) plan is recommended for project execution. The QA plan should include a review of each stage of the project; system design, procurement and construction. The QA process should identify the project team members involved and define the roles and responsibilities of each member. The QA review process should be clearly defined. A basic QA plan is outlined below.
Piping stress analysis review
• Analysis software capabilities
• Design properties provided by the manufacturer
• Load cases and combined loads to be analyzed
• Analysis output, maximum stresses, deflections, anchor locations, etc.
Procurement process review
• Job specific specifications
• Purchase specification
• Product qualification data or Type Approval
Construction process
• Certification requirements for bonders, laminators and supervisors
• Inspection program for manufacturing of pipe and fittings, spool fabrication, installation on construction site and fit-up to non-fiberglass system components.
• Construction site engineering change process
• Execute inspection program
System proof test
• Proof test plan
• System readiness for proof test
• Witness proof test
• Witness system draining and preparation for service

Appendix B - Example Cost Analysis for Alternative Piping Materials
Cost of Materials - Pipe and Fittings
Economics is an important factor in engineering studies of alternative piping materials. This section is included to provide an example cost analysis for alternative piping materials. This example provides comparative values for three alternative materials. The format and much of the data is taken from Reference 2. The materials are fiberglass, Schedule 80 carbon steel and Schedule 40 copper-nickel.
It should be noted that Schedule 40 carbon steel and Schedule 10 copper-nickel are lower cost metallic systems that might also be candidates for an off shore system. The reader is encouraged to perform an independent cost analysis using data that is applicable to the piping materials and the system under consideration for a specific project.
A cost analysis for fiberglass and competing corrosion resistant piping materials should start with a spreadsheet of the weights and the cost of competing pipe materials. Table B-1 shows typical unit weights for fiberglass, Schedule 80 carbon steel and Schedule 40 copper-nickel piping for 2”, 3”, 4” and 6” diameters. Table B-2 is a summary of typical prices for each piping material at 2”, 3”, 4” and 6” diameters.

Cost of Installed Piping Systems
Weight and cost data for competing piping materials can provide a preliminary comparison of competitive materials. However, it is best to compile data for installed piping systems. Table B-3 is a materials list for the piping system used in Reference 2 and illustrated in Appendix C of this document. The cost of alternative piping materials and the corresponding installation labor can be assembled in a separate spreadsheet to determine the total installed cost of systems constructed from competing materials.
Labor units for the installation of carbon steel pipe and fittings are shown in Reference 2 and attributed to “The Richardson System Process Plant Construction Estimating Standards”, Volume 3, 1997 edition, published by Richardson Engineering Services, Inc., Mesa Arizona. The labor units for copper-nickel were assumed to be 30 percent greater than those for carbon steel. The labor units for fiberglass were provided by a manufacturer of fiberglass systems for the offshore market. A summary of the installation labor for four-inch (4”) piping systems is shown in Table B-4.
An average labor rate of $29.10 was assumed to calculate the total labor costs for an installation of 4” piping in the configuration shown in Appendix C. The installed costs for the competitive materials in 4” piping are summarized in Table B-5.

Cost of Maintenance
Maintenance should be considered in the analysis if the cost of maintenance is significantly different for the piping materials under consideration. The effect of maintenance costs on total cost or life cycle costs can be quantified for each materials candidate. The analysis requires an estimate of the cash flow required for installation and maintenance on each system for each year of the project life. Annual cash flow would include expenditures for inhibitors, cathodic protection, exterior coatings, inspection, cleaning, repairs, deferred production, etc. If it is normal to replace the system once or twice during the project life, the total cost of the replacement should be included in the cash flow schedule. The anticipated expenditures can be entered in a net present value (NPV) spreadsheet to determine the total cost for each material option.

Life Cycle Cost Analysis
The net present value (NPV) method can be used to compare the project life-cycle costs, or the total costs for the alternative materials. Readers are referred to Reference 3, NACE Publication 3C-194, “Economics of Corrosion” for a thorough explanation of the present value method. The NACE document describes a spreadsheet tool that can be used to enter the annual cash flow associated with each material option, and the spreadsheet is used to calculate the annual cost or the total cost for each. The results of the NPV analysis, Table B-6, indicates the installed cost and the annual cost for a 25-year project life for each material. The analysis also provides the results in terms of the net present value for projects of 10 and 25 years in duration. Based on the assumptions used in this example, fiberglass is the low cost option. However, fiberglass may not always be the low cost option and the reader is encouraged to perform a cost analysis that is specific to the materials and the system under consideration for a given project. The entry data for NPV analysis is shown in Table B -7.
