BONDSTRAND
GLASSFIBER REINFORCED EPOXY AND
PHENOLIC PIPE SYSTEMS FOR

OFFSHORE APPLICATIONS
Historically, offshore production platform,

drilling rig and FPSO owners and operators
have had to face the grim reality of
continuously replacing most metal piping
because of severe corrosion. This has
resulted in piping systems costing two or
three times the original investment since
steel and metal pipe systems are very
costly to maintain.
Bondstrand GRE pipe systems are the
cost-effective, maintenance-free and
lightweight solution that provides corrosionfree and erosion-free operation during the
service life of the vessel.

Low installation and operating costs

Installation costs of Bondstrand GRE pipe
systems are less than that of carbon steel;
total installed costs are comparable.
Operating costs are reduced due to less
energy needed to pump fluid through the
smooth internal bore.

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
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
(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 Lloyds
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.
no contamination
Bondstrand GRE does not rust or scale.
This prevents plugging of nozzles, valves
and other components.
engineering capabiLities
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.
preFabrication
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.
testing
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.
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).

GLASSFIBER REINFORCED EPOXY PIPE SYSTEMS
FOR RETROFIT APPLICATIONS

with Bondstrand
Eliminate corrosion:
Retrofit your seawater systems

with Bondstrand
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.
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.
Corrosion
does not have
to be a
problem.
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.
ClASS APPRoVED
Major certifying bodies such as
Lloyds Register, Bureau Veritas,
Det Norske Veritas, American Bureau of
Shipping, GL, RINA, RMRS, etc. have
adopted and implemented the IMO
Guidelines in their respective Rules and
Regulations for the Classification of Ships.
Bondstrand pipe series that are used
in the marine/offshore industry are
Type Approved by all major certifying
bodies.
Bondstrand GRE piping systems include
easy to install standard filament wound
fittings. When standard fittings can not be
used, laminated fittings and spools can be
tailor-made to fit almost any system.
Replacement can take place at sea during
the voyage, at anchorage, during regular
loading and discharge operations or during
dry dock periods.

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, t emperature and medium
may also be used. Mechanical properties should be in accordance with DIN 3754 (IT 400)
or equal;
For maximum bolt torque refer to the appropriate Bondstrand literature;
A torque-wrench must be used, since excessive torque may result in flange damage.

5. Requirements for bonding surface and ambient conditions

This 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 end
Both, 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 surface
An 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 surfaces
If 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 C, 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 C 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 C or set the temperature of the
heating blanket at maximum 80 C.
If the environment heats the bonding surface above 40 C,
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 C and
40 C, but also at least 3 C above dew point. Precautionary
measures shall be taken to guarantee the compliance with
the required humidity and temperature conditions during
the complete bonding procedure.

Fig. 5.1.a
5.4 Cleaning of a machined spigot end or a sanded

bell end
A 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
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 end

The sanding operation of the bonding surfaces of both,
spigot- and bell end, shall be performed within 2 hours
from 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).
Fig. 5.5.a
Sanding of factory prepared bell ends and machined spigot

ends is performed mechanically using an emery cup, a
flapper 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
Fig. 5.5.b
Fig. 5.5.c
6. Dimensioning of Conical-Cylindrical spigot end

In 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 pipe

a 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.
Fig. 6.1.c
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 end

a 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).
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
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.
Fig. 6.2.d1
In case of non-compliance with dimensional

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.
Fig. 6.2.d2
7. Preparing for bonding

Before any actual bonding activity can start, the spigotand 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 surfaces

a 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.
Fig. 7.2
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 marking

In 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 equipment
a 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.
8. Bonding
The 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 adhesive

a 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).
Fig. 8.2.c
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 adhesive

a 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.
10
Fig. 8.2.d
8.3 Assembly of the spigot in the bell

a 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.
Fig. 8.3.d1
Note
Continuation 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).
Fig. 8.3.d2
11
8.4 Curing of the adhesive

a 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.
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.
Fig. 8.4.b
Fig. 8.4.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

12
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 conditions

This 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.
Precautionary measures shall be taken to guarantee the

compliance with the required humidity and temperature
conditions during the complete bonding procedure.
5.1 Cleaning of a plain pipe end or unprepared

bell end
Both, 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
a clean, dry and non-fluffy cloth (see fig. 5.1.a).
5.2 Unprepared and prepared surface

An 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 surfaces
If 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 C, 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 C 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 C or set the temperature of the
heating blanket at maximum 80 C.
If the environment heats the bonding surface above 40 C,
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 C and
40 C, but also at least 3 C above dew point.
4
Fig. 5.1.a
5.4 Cleaning of a machined spigot end or a sanded

bell end
A 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
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 end

The sanding operation of the bonding surfaces of both,
spigot- and bell end, shall be performed within 2 hours
from 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).
Fig. 5.5.a
Sanding of factory prepared bell ends and machined spigot

ends is performed mechanically using an emery cup, a
flapper 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
Fig. 5.5.b
Fig. 5.5.c
6. Dimensioning of taper spigot end

In 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 pipe

a 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.
Fig. 6.1.c
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 end

a 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).
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
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.

(Minimum insert depth Actual insert depth
Maximum insert depth).
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
f The eccentricity of the shaved spigot diameter (S1)

relative to the inner diameter (ID) is determined from a
number ( 6) of measurements of the nose thickness (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:

add. insert depth

Fig. N1
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 = 1.75 ,
the additional insert depth= 16.4 mm.
- For a taper angle = 2.50 ,
the additional insert depth= 11.5 mm.
7. Preparing for bonding

Before 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 surfaces

a 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 marking

a 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).
10
Fig. 7.2.c
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 equipment

a 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.
Fig. 7.2.d
b Respect the required alignment of the parts to be jointed

as well as the support during the bonding operation.
Fig. 7.3.a
11
8. Bonding
The 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 adhesive

a 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).
Fig. 8.2.c
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 adhesive

a 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 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 (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.
12
Fig. 8.2.d
8.3 Assembly of the spigot in the bell

a 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

Fig. 8.3.c
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.
Fig. 8.3.d
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).
Fig. 8.3.h
Fig. 8.3.h.1
13
8.4 Curing of the adhesive

a 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.
Fig. 8.4.b
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.
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).
Fig. 8.4.d
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

spigot
The 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 bell

A 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).
Fig. D1
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 end

A 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.
Fig. D3
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)

Scope
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 fiberglass
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.
Bondstrand flange types

Hubbed type flange
Applicable 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.
Photo 1 - Hubbed flange
Heavy Duty (HD) type flange

The 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.
Photo 2 - HD flange
Photo 3 - Stub-end flange
Stub-end (lap joint) type flange

Stub-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.
Tooling
Check the presence and quality of joint material (bolt, nut, washer, gasket) 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.

Gaskets

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. Gaskets should be 3 mm ( inch) 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.

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).
Bolt length
Note that Bondstrand flanges are thicker than metal flanges and require washers.
This should be taken into account when calculating the bolt length.
For flange thickness see the appropriate product datasheet, dimension data.
Connecting to other pipe systems

When Bondstrand pipe is connected to metal pipe systems, the interface should be anchored
to prevent movement or loads being transmitted to the Bondstrand pipe system.
Assembly of Quick-Lock flanges
Prepare the cut pipe end by shaving the appropriate spigot. Apply adhesive to the pipe spigot
and flange socket. Refer to the Bondstrand Quick-Lock assembly instructions for detailed
instruction on joint preparation and assembly.
Photo 5 - Apply adhesive
Without delay, slowly push the Quick-Lock flange onto the Quick-Lock spigot in a straight
forward motion. Do not rotate or jiggle the flange.
Photo 6 - Push flange onto

spigot
After joint assembly, check the alignment of the bolt holes.

Carefully turn the flange to position the bolt holes.
Photo 7 - Check bolt holes

alignment
Final seating of the spigot can be accomplished by carefully tapping on a wooden block
placed on the flange face. The spigot end should be seated against the bell stop of the
socket.
For sizes 6 inch ( 150 mm) a steel cross (see photo 15) can be used to get final seating.
Photo 8 - Final seating
Check the alignment of the flange face using a flange square.
Photo 9 - Check alignment of

flange face
Once again check the alignment of the bolt holes.

Remove excessive adhesive.
Photo 10 - Remove excessive

Troubleshooting
If 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 outlined above. After corrective action has been taken, retest the joint.
Safety
Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye protection at all times.

Assembly Instructions for Bondstrand Fiberglass Saddles
Scope
These instructions describe the proper procedures for mounting Bondstrand filament-wound epoxy saddles on epoxy
pipe. This procedure is suitable for all saddle types.
Bondstrand fiberglass saddles

Bondstrand saddles are Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) filament-wound epoxy pipe saddles in diameters
25 through 1000 mm (1-40 inch) designed to be used in combination with Bondstrand pipes. Reducing saddles are
used in Bondstrand pipe systems to connect appendages, e.g. pressure gauges. Several types of saddles are available.
Depending on the application one of the below described saddles can be used.
Tooling
Check the presence and quality of the material (saddle), adhesive and tooling. The tooling listed below is, as a
minimum, required to mount the saddle.

saddle types
Reducing saddle with flanged branch

These 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 flanged branch
Reducing saddle with socket outlet

The 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 socket outlet
Reducing saddle with bushing

Bushing 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.
Reducing saddle with bushing

2
Deluge saddle
Deluge saddles are available up to 16 bar (depending on size). Deluge saddles are
manufactured using titanium reversed taper bushings that are bonded in the
saddle. The outlet can be NPT or BSP threaded. Thread sizes up to 1 are
available. Deluge saddles are used in deluge piping to connect deluge nozzles.
Deluge saddle
Support saddle
Available in sizes 1 up to and including 40. Support saddle can be used at sliding
supports (wear saddle) or at anchor supports to restrict movement of the pipe.
Support saddle
Grounding saddle
Grounding saddles are used to ground conductive pipe. They are available in
size 1 40 and are bonded to the pipe using RP-60 conductive adhesive.
Grounding saddle
Asssembly of saddles
Mark the outline of the saddle on the surface of the pipe.
Mark outline saddle
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).
Sand area with flapper wheel
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
-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.
When required mark and drill the hole
opening
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).
Sand the inside surface of the saddle
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.
Wipe the sanded saddle and pipe surfaces

clean
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.
Use required Bondstrand Epoxy adhesive kit
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.
Apply enough adhesive
Push the saddle into place and check the alignment of the outlet using a
level.
Push saddle into place and check the

alignment
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.
Use band clamps
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.
Use NOV FGS heating blanket for heat cure

Fig. 1.3. Mine application
2. Product introduction
2.1. Systems
GRE 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 process
GRE 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. Advantages and disadvantages of GRE

compared with steel
2.3.1. Advantages
Glass 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.
......
Fig.2.3. Spool manufacturing
2.3.2. Disadvantages
Attention 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.

recommendations shall be respected:
Provide a flat and horizontal supporting surface
Do not store the pipes directly on the ground, onto

rails or concrete floors
Ensure suitable supports such as clean, nail free

wooden beams
Machined ends must be protected (e.g. with PE-foil)
Bell and/or spigot ends may not touch each other
Pipes can be stacked economically by alternating the

orientation of spigot- and socket end
Avoid pipe bending by locating supports between the

layers of stacked pipe vertically above each other
Supports must be spaced at a maximum interval of

3 m and 1 m from each pipe end
The allowable stacking height is 1.5 m or 2 layers,

whichever is higher
Product diameters may flatten when stacked too high

and/or too long, specially at elevated temperature
Long term storage is recommended under tarpaulins

or PE-sheets
Pipe stacks must have side supports (e.g. wooden

wedges) to prevent rolling or slipping
Unprotected flange sealing faces shall not be placed

directly on the ground or on supporting floors
Spools shall not be stacked
No other materials shall be loaded on top of GRE

products
Do not drop, walk, or stand on GRE products
Avoid point loading due to careless stacking
Fig. 3.9. Pipe stacking
Fig. 3.10. Wooden wedge
Raw materials such as O-rings, gaskets, locking keys,

adhesive kits, resin, hardener, woven roving and lubricants
shall be stored in the original packaging, in a dry
environment, at recommended temperatures.
The shelf life of adhesives and resins must be respected.
If any damage is observed due to transportation or during
installation (e.g. excessive scratches, cracks) contact the
supplier.
Never use damaged materials.

4. Joining systems and preparation methods

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 joint
This 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, dust mask, safety glasses
Measuring tape, marker, bench, pipe fitters wrap-a
round
Angle cutter, hand saw or jig saw
Shaver, grinding tools
Rubber scraper, pulling equipment, adhesive kit
Heating blanket or air gun, insulation blanket,

digital temperature gauge
Cleaning brush, non-fluffy cleaning rags, 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.
Fig. 4.1. Conical-Cylindrical bonded joint
4.2. Taper/Taper bonded joint

This 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.
Fig. 4.2. Taper/Taper bonded joint
10
4.3. Laminate Joint

The 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, dust mask and safety glasses
Measuring tape, marker and pipe fitters wrap around
Angle cutter, jig saw or hand saw
Grinding tools and flexible support disc
Rubber scraper, scissors, brushes, resin, hardener and

glass reinforcement
Air gun, gas burner or field oven with insulation

blanket and digital temperature gauge
Cleaning brush, non-fluffy cleaning rags and cleaning
fluids
Fig. 4.3. Scheme laminate joint
The successive activities for a laminate joint are cutting,

sanding, cleaning, mixing, fitting, laminating and curing.
4.4. Flange Joint
The 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:
Ring spanner, torque wrench
Bolts, nuts and washers
Gasket
Fig. 4.4. Laminate joint
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.
Fig. 4.5. Flanged joint
Fig. 4.6. Flange detail

11
4.5. Mechanical O-Ring Lock Joint

The 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:
Pipe clamps and pulling equipment
Lubricant, O-ring, locking key(s) and plastic or wooden

mallet to drive the locking key in position
Non-fluffy cleaning rags and cleaning fluids
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.
Fig. 4.7. Mechanical O-Ring lock joint (2-key)
4.6. Mechanical O-Ring Joint

The 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:
Pipe clamps and pulling equipment
Lubricant, O-ring
Non-fluffy cleaning rags and cleaning fluids
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.
Fig. 4.8. Mechanical O-Ring lock joint (1-key)
4.7. Mechanical Coupler

Generally, mechanical couplers are used for joining plainended 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.

5. Tools and material

For details on tooling and materials, reference is made to
manufacturers detailed documentation.
5.1. Tools
Tools are divided in two main categories:
non-consumables and consumables.
5.1.1. Non-consumables
Non-consumable tools can be used multiple times.
5.1.1.1. Shaver
A 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.
Fig. 5.1. M95 shaver type
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 blanket
Heating 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.
Fig. 5.2. Mounted shaver (M87 type)
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.
Fig. 5.3. Arbor
Fig. 5.4. Heating blanket

13
5.1.1.3. Pullers and band clamps

Pullers 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.
Fig. 5.5. Pulled adhesive joint
5.1.1.4 Others
Other non-consumables may be required such as:

Air gun, gas burner or field oven

Angle cutter, hand saw or jig saw
Pipe fitters wrap-a-round
Pi Tape
Grinding tool
Insulation blankets
Digital temperature gauge

Fig. 5.8. Tools for joint assembly
14
5.2. Materials
5.2.1. Adhesive
Different 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-ring
A rubber O-Ring provides sealing of the mechanical O-ring
(lock) joint. Standard O-rings are made of Nitryl Butadiene
Rubber (NBR).
Fig. 5.9. Adhesive kit
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 key
Locking 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.
Fig. 5.10. O-rings
5.3. Check of incoming material

5.3.1. Quality check
The 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.
Fig. 5.11. Locking keys
5.3.2. Quantity check

Check the delivered quantities and the reported quantities
on the packaging list. The recipient is advised to check the
contents of the deliveries.
Quantity, size and configuration of materials and products
should be physically checked against the data on the
packing list.
15
6. Installation of underground pipe systems

GRE 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 construction
The 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:
The trench shape is determined by the classification of
the soil, which can be unstable or stable
Top sides of the trench must be cleared from rocks or
any other sharp/heavy materials
The trench foundation shall consist of a compacted

sand layer without stones or sharp objects
Loosen a hard and uneven trench foundation in order to
prevent point loading
Keep the trench dry during installation; if necessary use
of a pumping system and drainage
The minimum width (W) at the bottom of the trench for a
single pipe shall be: W = 1.25 * OD + 300 mm
The space between the pipe and the trench wall must
be 150 mm wider than the used compaction equipment
Respecting pipe stiffness, operating conditions, soil
characteristics and wheel load the minimum burial depth
is 0.8 m
The crown of the pipe must be installed below frost level
6.2. System assembly
The 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 plant
After positioning of the pipe system elements next to the
trench, these components have to be handled into final
position in the trench:
Small diameter pipe sections can be lowered manually
using ropes, slings or light lifting devices
Large diameter piping requires heavier equipment

during final positioning
To avoid damage the minimum bending radius of a pipe
shall be respected
Avoid unwanted objects falling into the trench during
lowering pipe sections
Use nylon sling belts or special designed equipment
during product handling
Fig. 6.1. Trench in unstable soil
Fig. 6.2. Trench in stable soil
Fig. 6.3. General scheme of trench construction
Fig. 6.4. Assembly in process
16
6.2.2. Joining of components

Respect next requirements and recommendations for
joining of underground pipe systems:
Inspect all products before installation
Components with mechanical O-ring joints shall be

assembled in the trench
Adhesive bonded and laminated joints can be

assembled either inside or outside the trench
Never move or disturb a joint during the curing process
Standard pipe lengths may be doubled in order to

reduce the installation time
Ensure sufficient space around joints for proper align
ment and joining
Keep the system centred in the trench
Respect the allowable joint angular deflection and pipe
bending radius
Bending of a joint shall be avoided unless allowable by
system design
Changes in directions in non-restrained pipeline

systems must be anchored
Ensure stretching of the O-ring lock joints; this prevents
axial displacement of the pipeline and overloading of
fittings when pressurising the system
The pipeline can be stretched by pressurizing at 0.8 *
operating pressure. Mechanical stretching is
recommended. Precautions shall be taken to avoid
overloading of fittings
Branches shall be left free or are installed after
stretching of the header completely
Fig. 6.5. Main assembly inside the trench
Fig. 6.6. Scheme trench construction stable soil
6.3. Backfilling
Backfilling 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 requirements
The procedure and the requirements comprise:
Temporary installation devices must be removed prior to
backfilling
The maximum particle size for pipe zone embedment is
related to the pipe diameter and is described in the
backfill material specification
Dumping large quantities of backfill material at one spot
on top of the pipe may cause damage; spread the
applied backfill material
Backfill material shall be compacted in layers of 150
mm. The pipe may not be displaced due to backfilling
When reaching a compaction height of 0.3 * ID below
the crown of the pipe, compaction may be continued in
layers of 300 mm
Each layer of backfill shall have a compaction grade of
at least 85 % Standard Proctor Density (SPD)
Compaction is performed on both sides of the pipe,
never across the pipe. A vibrating plate with an impact
force of 3000 N is used
Do not use heavy pneumatic hammers or vibrating

equipment until having reached a backfill level of
500 mm over the crown of the pipe.
Avoid any contact between compaction tools and
GRE-product
Fig. 6.7. Scheme trench construction unstable soil
Fig. 6.8. Pipe assembly in process in prepared trench
17
6.3.2. Backfill material specification

For 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 methods
Use 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 installations
Road crossings and channel crossings demand particular
attention and requirements.
6.4.1. Road crossing
Precautions shall be taken to protect pipes, which cross
underneath roads against the possible consequences of
traffic loads.
Possible alternatives are:
Jacket pipe
Relief plate
Burial depth
Pipe stiffness
Fig. 6.9. Compaction of backfill material
6.4.1.1. Jacket pipe

The 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 plates
Relief 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.
Fig. 6.10. Jacket pipe at road crossing
6.4.1.3. Burial depth

Generally, 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 stiffness
Pipes with higher stiffness are better resistant to external
loads due to traffic loads. Stiffness of pipe can be increased
by increasing the wall thickness.
18
Fig. 6.11. Relief plate
6.4.2. Channel crossing

The 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.
Fig. 6.12. Lowering underwater main
Note that underwater pipes should be covered sufficiently to

prevent floating and damage (e.g. by anchors).
6.5. Alignment
Undulating 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. Settlement
Flexible 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.
Fig. 6.13. Pipe alignment
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 concrete
In some cases, pipe systems may be cast in concrete. Such
applications require following:
Fig. 6.14. Settlement
Do not pour concrete directly onto pipe

The vibrating poker must be kept at least 300 mm away
from the pipe
The pipe system must be pressure tested prior to

casting
Cradles are provided with steel clamps and rubber lining
in order to prevent floating
Buckling of the pipe during casting can be prevented by
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.
Fig. 6.15. Pipe cast in concrete
19
7. Installation of aboveground pipe systems

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 manufacturers documentation.
7.1. Supports
Supports 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. General
Functional pipe supporting can be obtained with the aid of
system design analysis.
Following aspects need to be respected:
Pipes resting on sleepers are supplied with 180

saddles, which are bonded to the pipe at the support
location to protect the pipe against wear damage from
possible pipe movements
The length of the wear saddle must be 50 mm longer
than the calculated pipe displacement plus the support
width
Allow pipe expansion within a clamp
In vertical pipe assemblies, the sockets of O-ring joints
shall point downwards, so water cannot be trapped in
the socket. Entrapped water in the socket may cause
joint damage when freezing
For clamp dimensions, reference is made to

manufacturers detailed documentation
Mechanical O-ring joints require minimal one support
per pipe length
The distance of the support to the joint is maximal 20 %
of the pipe length
Fig. 7.1. Aboveground pipe system
Fig. 7.2. Pipe supports
7.1.2. Fixed support points

Fixed 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:
Fixation saddles shall be positioned on both sides,

at the shoe side of the clamp
Laminated fixation saddles shall be applied on both
sides of the clamp
When using non-restrained jointing systems each pipe
shall be fixed
Each change of direction in a non-restrained pipeline
shall be anchored to prevent pipe joints coming apart
Check whether the positions of pipe supports are still in
accordance with the installation requirements after
testing. The supporting elements might be
dislocated due to test pressure
Fig. 7.3. Sliding support
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.
Fig. 7.4. Support with fixed point
20
7.2. Pipe clamps

Various types of pipe supports are available.
Following considerations must be respected:
Avoid point loads by using clamps made of flat strips
instead of U-bolts. The width of the strip is related to the
pipe diameter. For large diameter pipe double clamps
may be applied
The inside of the clamp is furnished with a rubber or
cork liner to compensate the uneven pipe outer surface
and to minimise abrasion due to pipe movement and
vibration
Longitudinal movement in the clamps is not advised.
Generally, movement between the clamp shoe and
the support structure shall realize sliding of supports
For detailed information on clamps, reference is made to
7.3. Valves
To 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. 7.6. Fixed point with bonded saddles
Fig. 7.8. Valve
Fig. 7.5. Collars on both sides of the pipe clamp
Fig. 7.7. Pipe clamp

21
7.4. Bellows
GRE 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.
Fig. 7.9. Bellow
7.5. Pipe connections through walls

Several 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 flange
The factory made puddle flange consists of a GRE ring,
which is laminated on the pipe.
7.5.2. Sand coated GRE pipe
A sand coating on a GRE pipe offers an excellent adhesion
between concrete and GRE.
Fig. 7.10. Puddle flange
7.5.3. Link seal

This 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:
Mounting a steel pipe section with water seal before
pouring mortar
Drilling a hole with a crown drill having diamond inlays
Fixing a removable plastic casing pipe section before
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.
Fig. 7.11. Sand coated GRE pipe casted in concrete
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. 7.12. Sketch link seal

22
7.5.4. Special sealing shape

This 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 passing
When 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.
Fig. 7.13. Link seal
7.6. Joining with other materials

The 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-resistance
The 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.

Fig. 7.16. Joining to other materials

23
8. Quality Control / Quality Assurance

8.1. General
To 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 traceability
As 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-fitter
2. Joint identification (number)
3. Start/end of the curing process
4. Heat blanket identification (number)
5. Identification (number) of adhesive batch
6. Temperature of heating blanket (optional)

9. Field Test Procedure

9.1. General
Before 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.
25
9.2. Preparation
Prior to hydro testing, the following issues shall be checked:
All material that should not be on the inside of the

pipeline system shall be removed
All joining procedures shall be completed
Trenches should be partially backfilled and compacted;
the joints should be left exposed
All supports, guides, and (temporary) anchors shall be
in place and functional before pressurizing the system
All temporary supports and installation aids shall be
removed
Unless stated otherwise, all valves should be through-
body tested
All check valves shall be removed to enable monitoring
of the full line
Flange bolts shall be made up to the correct torque
Buried pipe systems must be backfilled sufficiently to
restrain the system
Fig. 9.1. Various pipe pigs
9.3. Filling, stabilizing, testing and depressurizing

9.3.1. Filling and stabilizing
Fill 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. Testing
Once 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.
26
Fig. 9.2. Field test unit
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:

Fig. 9.3. Test pressure recording
Leakage of pipeline accessories

Leakage of gaskets
Leaking joints
Leakage of pipes
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. Depressurising
Depressurisation 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. Repair
The repair procedure shall be prepared and qualified by

the contractor in accordance with the pipe manufacturers
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 manufacturers
documentation.

12. Safety precautions

The 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 manufacturers documentation.
12.1. Resin, hardener, adhesive and lamination sets
In 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 sanding
When cutting or grinding GRE materials the following
personal protection is necessary to protect eyes and skin:
A dust mask covering nose and mouth
A pair of safety goggles
Gloves and overall
Close overall sleeves with adhesive tape to keep the
dust out
Wear protective clothing to protect the body
Machining should be carried in a well-ventilated room or
in open air
12.3. Environment
Always 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.
This literature should only be used by personnel having

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.
Assembly technique
For the best possible joint reliability, NOV Fiber Glass Systems draws on broad experience to provide complete
assembly instructions. These well-defined and repeatable assembly techniques help the user avoid field-joining
problems and assure succesful installation. Training programs and audio-visual aids are available and are especially
helpful for first-time users of Bondstrand Pipe Shavers.

Electric Heating Blankets
Heat 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 A
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)

Type B
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.
Instructions
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
Qualification
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).
Photo 1. Platform under construction
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
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.
design factors can significantly increase the required wall

thickness.
4.1 Wall thickness limitations
4.2 Qualification program
The structural calculations given in this part of ISO 14692 are

only valid for thickness-to-diameter ratios that are in accordance 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.
An 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
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
Figure 2. Regression curve

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.
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.
Table 1. Overview of product sectors
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 performance

If 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.
4.4 Electrical conductivity

Photo 2. Spool for 1000 hrs testing
If required, testing shall be carried out 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.
4.5 Quality program for manufacture

The piping manufacturer shall have a suitable and accredited
quality assurance and quality control system.
Pipe and fittings furnished to ISO 14692 shall be tested
according to the ISO standard.
See chapter 10 for the list of deviations to the quality program.

5. Part 3: System design
5.1 Introduction/abstract
5.4 Hydraulic design
The 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)
The 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.
5.2 Layout requirements

In 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 distance

Recommendations 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
expansion, provided the system is well anchored and
guided
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 design
5.6 Stress analysis
The 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.
Manual or computer methods can be used for structural

analysis of piping systems.
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
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.
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 envelope
In 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

5.7 Fire performance

The 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 electricity

The 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 Introduction
Part 4 of ISO 14692 gives requirements and recommendations
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.
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 requirements

When 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
welders 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.

6.2 Fabrication and installation

What further can be done to prevent site problems?
6.2.1 Inspection
It 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
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
7
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 examination committee will be DNV. The certificate that can be
obtained will be a personal certificate
E.g.:
Impact > replace (major defect) or repair (minor defect)
Misaligned joints > replace components (major defect)
remake joint (minor defect)

6.2.3 Installation methods

Installation 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 6.3 Maintenance and repair
one individual to be responsible for quality control throughout
the installation.
GRP/GRE pipes are generally maintenance free, but the
Record of following items shall be made:
following points shall be given attention during inspection and
starting and end time of the curing process; pipe fitter nr.; batch are addressed in the ISO document:
number of the adhesive and heating blanket; measured tempera Removal of scale and blockages
ture of the heating blanket; ambient temperature, date, joint num Electrical conductivity
ber, relative humidity.
Surface and mechanical damage
Chalking, ageing and erosion
Flange cracks and leaks
6.2.4 System testing
All GRP/GRE piping systems shall be hydrostatically pressure
Repair shall be in accordance with manufacturers procedures.
tested after installation. Water shall be used as a test medium.
6.2.5 Visual inspection

Visual 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.
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 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.
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.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
1.1.1 The International Maritime Organization recognizes
that there is increasing interest within the marine industry
to use materials other than steel for pipes and that there
are no specific requirements for plastic pipes in existing
regulations.
1.1.2 These guidelines provide acceptance criteria for
plastic materials in piping systems to assist maritime
Administrations to determine, in a rational and uniform way,
the permitted applications for such materials. These
guidelines give appropriate design and installation
requirements and, for each application, fire testing
performance criteria necessary to ensure that vessel safety
is adequately addressed.
1.1.3 Within the framework of these guidelines, there is
freedom to permit development of international and
national standards, and allow the natural development of
emerging technology.
1.2 Scope
1.2.1 The status of these guidelines is advisory. They
are intended to cover the design and installation of plastic
pipes, both with and without reinforcement, in either
essential or non-essential systems, inboard of the shipside
valves.
1.3.5 Shipboard piping should be properly installed and

tested to ensure the degree of safety necessary. Section
4 addresses these concerns, and incorporates MSC/Circ.
449 Guidance on installation of fibre glass reinforced pipe
and fittings.
1.3.6 The fire test methods and the fire endurance
requirements matrix, referenced in section 2.2, are given
in appendices I to IV.
1.4 Definitions
1.4.1 Plastic(s) as used in these guidelines refers to both
thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic materials, with or
without reinforcement, such as uPVC and fibre reinforced
plastics - FRP.
1.4.2 Piping/Piping systems - The terms piping and piping
systems include the pipe, fittings, system joints, method
of joining and any internal or external liners, coverings and
coatings required to comply with the performance criteria.
For example, if the basic material needs a fire protective
coating to comply with the fire endurance requirements,
then the piping should be manufactured and tested with
both the basic material and coating attached and submitted
to the Administration for approval as a material system.
1.4.3 Joint - The term joint refers to the permanent
method of joining pipes by adhesive bonding, laminating,
welding, etc.
1.2.2 These guidelines are intended to comply with

existing SOLAS regulations, MSC circulars, or other equivalent international criteria.
1.4.4 Fittings - The term fittings refers to bends, elbows,

fabricated branch pieces, etc., of plastic material.
1.2.3 These guidelines are applicable to rigid pipes only.

The use of flexible pipes and hoses and mechanical
couplings which are accepted for use in metallic piping
systems is not addressed.
2. MATERIAL DESIGN PROPERTIES AND

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
2.1 Requirements applicable to all piping systems
2.1.1 General
2.1.1.1 The requirements of this section apply to all piping
and piping systems independent of service or location.
1.3 Philosophy and contents

1.3.1 The International Convention for the Safety of Life
at Sea (SOLAS 74), as amended, specifies steel should
be used in some cases, but in other instances it is clear
that materials other than steel are anticipated, subject to
the Administrations acceptance. Guidelines to enable
Administrations to make decisions on the use of plastic
piping, and the possibility of extending its application, are
therefore needed.
1.3.2 Certain material design properties and performance
criteria are common to all piping systems, regardless of
system or location, and these are addressed in section
2.1.
1.3.3 Section 2.2 addresses fire safety aspects and
provides specific requirements applicable to piping
systems depending on service and/or locations.
1.3.4 Section 3 addresses material approval and
prescribes certain controls during manufacture of piping
that should be considered in order to ensure the proper
mechanical and physical characteristics.
W/0322a
2.1.1.2 The specification of the piping should be to a

recognized standard acceptable to the Administration and
should meet the additional performance guidelines that
follow.
2.1.1.3 The piping should have sufficient strength to take
account of the most severe coincident conditions of
pressure, temperature, the weight of the piping itself and
any static and dynamic loads imposed by the design or
environment.
2.1.1.4 For the purpose of assuring adequate robustness
for all piping including open ended piping (e.g. overflows,
vents and open-ended drains), all pipes should have a
minimum wall thickness to ensure adequate strength for
use on board ships, also to withstand loads due to
transportation, handling, personnel traffic, etc. This may
require the pipe to have additional thickness than otherwise
required by service considerations.
A 18/Res.753
2.1.1.5 The performance requirements for any component

of a piping system such as fittings, joints, and method of
joining are the same as those requirements for the piping
system they are installed in.
2.1.2 Internal pressure
2.1.2.1 A piping system should be designed for an internal
pressure not less than the maximum working pressure to
be expected under operating conditions or the highest set
pressure of any safety valve or pressure relief device on
the system, if fitted.
2.1.2.2 The nominal internal pressure for a pipe should
be determined by dividing the short-term hydrostatic test
failure pressure by a safety factor of 4 or the long-term
hydrostatic (>100.000 h) test failure pressure by a safety
factor of 2.5, whichever is the lesser. The hydrostatic test
failure pressure should be verified experimentally or by a
combination of testing and calculation methods to the
satisfaction of the Administration.
2.1.3 External pressure
2.1.3.1External pressure should be taken into account in
the design of piping for any installation which may be subject to vacuum conditions inside the pipe or a head of liquid
acting on the outside of the pipe.
2.1.3.2Piping should be designed for an external pressure
not less than the sum of the maximum potential head of
liquid outside the pipe, plus full vacuum (1 bar). The
nominal external pressure for a pipe should be determined
by dividing the collapse test pressure by a safety factor of
3. The collapse test pressure should be verified
experimentally or by a combination of testing and
calculation methods to the satisfaction of the
Administration.
2.1.4 Axial strength
2.1.4.1The sum of the longitudinal stresses due to
pressure, weight and other dynamic and sustained loads
should not exceed the allowable stress in the longitudinal
direction. Forces due to thermal expansion, contraction
and external loads, where applicable, should be considered
when determining longitudinal stresses in the system.
2.1.4.2In the case of fibre reinforced plastic pipes, the sum
of the longitudinal stresses should not exceed half of the
nominal circumferentional stress derived from the nominal
internal pressure determined according to paragraph
2.1.2.2, unless the minimum allowable longitudinal stress
is verified experimentally or by a combination of testing
and calculation methods to the satisfaction of the
Administration.
2.1.5 Temperature
2.1.5.1Piping should meet the design requirements of
these guidelines over the range of service temperatures it
will experience.
2.1.5.2High temperature limits and pressure reductions
relative to nominal pressures should be according to the
recognized standard, but in each case, the maximum
W/0322a
working temperature should be at least 20C lower than

the minimum heat distortion temperature (determined
according to ISO 75 method A, or equivalent) of the resin
or plastic material. The minimum heat distortion
temperature should not be less than 80C.
2.1.5.3 Where low temperature services are considered,
special attention should be paid to material properties.
2.1.6 Impact resistance
2.1.6.1Piping should have a minimum resistance to impact to the satisfaction of the Administration.
2.1.7 Ageing
2.1.7.1Before selection of a piping material, the
manufacturer should confirm that the environmental effects
including but not limited to ultraviolet rays, saltwater
exposure, oil and grease exposure, temperature, and
humidity, will not degrade the mechanical and physical
properties of the piping material below the values
necessary to meet these guidelines. The manufacturer
should establish material ageing characteristics by
subjecting samples of piping to an ageing test acceptable
to the Administration and then confirming its physical and
mechanical properties by the performance criteria in these
guidelines.
2.1.8 Fatigue
2.1.8.1In cases where design loadings incorporate a significant cyclic or fluctuating component, fatigue should be
considered in the material selection process and taken
into account in the installation design.
2.1.8.2In addressing material fatigue, the designer may
rely on experience with similar materials in similar service
or on laboratory evaluation of mechanical test specimens.
However, the designer is cautioned that small changes in
the material composition may significantly affect fatigue
behaviour.
2.1.9 Erosion resistance
2.1.9.1In the cases where fluid in the system has high
flow velocities, abrasive characteristics or where there are
flow path discontinuities producing excessive turbulence
the possible effect of erosion should be considered. If
erosion cannot be avoided then adequate measures should
be taken such as increased wall thickness, special liners,
change of materials, etc.
2.1.10 Fluid absorption
2.1.10.1
Absorption of fluid by the piping material
should not cause a reduction of mechanical and physical
properties of the material below that required by these
guidelines.
2.1.10.2
The fluid being carried or in which the pipe
is immersed should not permeate through the wall of the
pipe. Testing for fluid absorption characteristics of the pipe
material should be to a recognized standard.
2.1.11 Material compatibility
2.1.11.1
The piping material should be compatible
A 18/Res.753
with the fluid being carried or in which it is immersed such

that its design strength does not degenerate below that
recognized by these guidelines. Where the reaction between the pipe material and the fluid is unknown, the
compatibility should be demonstrated to the satisfaction
of the Administration.
2.2 Requirements applicable to piping systems
depending on service and/or locations
2.2.1 Fire endurance
2.2.1.1General
Pipes and their associated fittings whose functions
or integrity are essential to the safety of ships are required
to meet the minimum fire endurance requirements given
below.
2.2.1.2Fire endurance requirements
The fire endurance of a piping system is the
capability to maintain its strength and integrity (i.e. capable
of performing its intended function) for some predetermined
period of time, while exposed to fire that reflects anticipated
conditions. Three different levels of fire endurance for plastic are given. These levels consider the different severity
of consequences resulting from the loss of system integrity
for the various applications and locations. The highest fire
endurance standard (level 1) will ensure the integrity of
the system during a full scale hydrocarbon fire and is
particularly applicable to systems where loss of integrity
may cause outflow of flammable liquids and worsen the
fire situation. The intermediate fire endurance standard
(level 2) intends to ensure the availability of systems
essential to the safe operation of the ship, after a fire of
short duration, allowing the system to be restored after
the fire has been extinguished. The lowest level (level 3) is
considered to provide the fire endurance necessary for a
water filled piping system to survive a local fire of short
duration. The systems functions should be capable of
being restored, after the fire has been extinguished.
2.2.1.2.1
Level 1 - piping systems essential to the
safety of the ship and those systems outside machinery
spaces where the loss of integrity may cause outflow of
flammable fluid and worsen the fire situation should be
designed to endure a fully developed hydrocarbon fire for
a long duration without loss of integrity under dry
conditions. Piping having passed the fire endurance test
method specified in appendix 1 for a duration of a minimum of one hour without loss of integrity in the dry condition
is considered to meet level 1 fire endurance standard.
2.2.1.2.2
Level 2 - piping systems essential to the safe
operation of the ship should be designed to endure a fire
without loss of the capability to restore the system function
after the fire has been extinguished. Piping having passed
the fire endurance test specified in appendix 1 for a duration
of a minimum of 30 min in the dry condition is considered
to meet level 2 fire endurance standard.
2.2.1.2.3
Level 3 - piping systems essential to the safe
operating of the ship should be designed to endure a fire
without loss of the capability to restore the system function
W/0322a
after the fire has been extinguished. Piping having passed

the fire endurance test specified in appendix 2 for a duration
of a minimum of 30 minutes in the wet condition is
considered to meet level 3 fire endurance standard.
2.2.1.3 System/location matrix
2.2.1.3.1
The matrix in appendix 4 establishes fire
endurance requirements, which are system and location
dependent, that pipe materials installed in a specific system
and location should possess to meet accepted minimum
levels of safety.
2.2.1.3.2
Where, according to the matrix, remotely
closed valves are required when permitting the use of plastic piping, the remote operation system should be designed
such that its function will not be inhibited after being
exposed to an equivalent level 1 fire endurance test.
Remote operation is defined as an accessible, safe location
outside the space in which the valves are installed. In the
case of valves on the main deck of a tanker, remote
operation should be from outside the cargo block.
2.2.1.3.3
Where the matrix stipulates endurance level 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 spread
2.2.2.1All pipes, except those fitted on open decks and
within tanks, cofferdams, void spaces, pipe tunnels and
ducts should have low flame spread characteristics as
determined by the test procedures given in resolution
A.653(16) as modified for pipes.
2.2.2.2In resolution A.653(16) the test sample
configuration only considers flat surfaces. Procedure
modifications to A.653(16) are necessary due to the
curvilinear pipe surfaces. These procedure modifications
are listed in appendix 3.
2.2.2.3Piping materials giving average values for all of the
surface flammability criteria not exceeding the values listed
in IMO resolution A.653(16), (Surface flammability criteria, bulkhead, wall and ceiling linings) are considered to
meet the requirements for low flame spread in
accommodation, service and control spaces. In other areas
or where the quantity of pipes is small, the Administration
may allow equivalent acceptance criteria.
2.2.3 Smoke generation
2.2.3.1Criteria for smoke production need only be applied
to pipes within the accommodation, service, and control
spaces. SOLAS regulations II-2/34.7 and 49.2 are
applicable to exposed interior surfaces which are
interpreted as including the surface finish of piping
systems.
2.2.3.2A fire test procedure is being developed and when
finalized and appropriate smoke obscuration criteria have
been recommended, this test will be incorporated into
these guidelines. In the meantime, an absence of this test
A 18/Res.753
need not preclude the use of plastics. However,

Administrations should consider this hazard when
approving piping materials.
2.2.4 Toxicity
2.2.4.1Toxicity testing is still being investigated and criteria developed. Before meaningful conclusions can be
made, further experimentation and testing is needed. In
the absence of a toxicity test, the use of plastics need not
be precluded. However, Administrations should consider
this hazard when approving piping materials.
2.2.5 Electrical conductivity
2.2.5.1Electrostatic charges can be generated on the
inside and outside of plastic pipes. The resulting sparks
can create punctures through pipe walls leading to leakage
of pipe contents, or can ignite surrounding explosive
atmospheres. Administrations should consider these
hazards when approving plastic piping systems carrying
fluids capable of generating electrostatic charges (static
accumulators) inside the pipe, and when approving plastic piping systems in hazardous areas (i.e. areas that could,
either in normal or fault conditions, contain an explosive
atmosphere), for the possibility of electrostatic charges
outside the pipe.
2.2.5.2.
In practice, fluids with conductivity less than
1,000 pico siemens per metre (pS/m) are considered to
be non-conductive and therefore capable of generating
electrostatic charges. Refined products and distillates fall
into this category and piping used to convey these liquids
should therefore be electrically conductive. Fluids with
conductivity greater than 1,000 pS/m are considered to
be static non-accumulators and can therefore be conveyed
through pipes not having special conductive properties
when located in non hazardous areas.
2.2.5.3Regardless of the fluid being conveyed, plastic
piping should be electrically conductive if the piping passes through a hazardous area.
2.2.5.4Where conductive piping is required, the resistance
per unit length of the pipe, bends, elbows, fabricated branch
pieces, etc., shout not exceed 1 x 105Ohm/m and the
resistance to earth from any point in the piping system
should not exceed 1 x 106Ohm. It is preferred that pipes
and fittings be homogeneously conductive. Pipes and
fittings having conductive layers may be accepted subject
to the arrangements for minimizing the possibility of spark
damage to the pipe wall being satisfactory. Satisfactory
earthing should be provided.
2.2.5.5After completion of the installation, the resistance
to earth should be verified. Earthing wires should be
accessible for inspection.
2.2.6 Fire protection coatings
2.2.6.1Where a fire protective coating of pipes and fittings
is necessary for achieving the fire endurance standards
required, the following requirements apply:
2.2.6.1.1
W/0322a
manufacturer with the protective coating on in which case

on-site application of protection would be limited to what
is necessary for installation purposes (e.g. joints).
Alternatively pipes may be coated on site in accordance
with the approved procedure for each combination, using
the approved materials of both pipes and insulations.
2.2.6.1.2
The liquid absorption properties of the
coating and piping should be considered. The fire
protection properties of the coating should not be
diminished when exposed to saltwater, oil or bilge slops.
The Administration should be satisfied that the coating is
resistant to products likely to come in contact with the
piping.
2.2.6.1.3
Fire protection coatings should not degrade
due to environmental effects over time, such as ultraviolet
rays, saltwater exposure, temperature and humidity. Other
areas to consider are thermal expansion, resistance
against vibrations, and elasticity. Ageing of the fire
protection coatings should be demonstrated to the
satisfaction of the Administration in a manner consistent
with the ageing test specified above.
2.2.6.1.4
The adhesion qualities of the coating should
be such that the coating does not flake, chip, or powder,
when subjected to an adhesion test acceptable to the
Administration.
2.2.6.1.5
The fire protection coating should have a
minimum resistance to impact to the satisfaction of the
Administration.
2.2.6.1.6
Pipes should be an appropriate distance
from hot surfaces in order to be adequately insulated.
2.2.6.2Special testing may be required as part of the
approval procedure.
3. MATERIAL APPROVAL AND QUALITY CONTROL
DURING MANUFACTURE
3.1
The Administration may require piping, as defined
in chapter I, 4.0, to be prototype tested to ensure that the
piping meets the performance requirements of these
guidelines.
3.2. The manufacturer should have a quality system that
meets ISO 9001, Quality systems - Model for quality
assurance in design/development, production, installation
and servicing, or equivalent. The quality system should
consist of elements necessary to ensure that pipe and
fittings are produced with consistent and uniform
mechanical and physical properties in accordance with
recognized standards. Control during manufacture should
be certified by the manufacturer to the satisfaction of the
Administration.
3.3. Dimensions and tolerances for pipes should conform to a recognized standard.
Pipes should be delivered from the
A 18/Res.753
3.4
Piping and fittings should be permanently marked
with identification in accordance with a recognized
standard. Identification should include pressure ratings,
the design standard that the pipe or fitting is manufactured
in accordance with, and the material system with which
the pipe or fitting is made.
3.5
Each length of pipe should be tested at the
manufacturers production facility to a hydrostatic pressure
not less than 1.5 times the rated pressure of the pipe. Other
test criteria may be accepted by the Administration.
3.6
Samples of pipe should be tested to determine the
short-term and/or long-term hydrostatic design strength.
These samples should be selected randomly from the
production facilities at a frequency to the satisfaction of
the Administration.
3.7
For piping required to be electrically conductive,
representative samples of pipe should be tested to
determine the electrical resistance per unit length. The
test method and frequency of testing should be acceptable
to the Administration.
3.8
Random samples of pipe should be tested to
determine the adhesion qualities of the coating to the pipe.
The test method and frequency of testing should be
acceptable to the Administration.
4. INSTALLATION
4.1. Supports
4.1.1 Selection and spacing of pipe supports in shipboard
systems should be determined as a function of allowable
stresses and maximum deflection criteria. Support spacing
should be not greater than the pipe manufacturers
recommended spacing. The selection and spacing of pipe
supports should take into account pipe dimensions,
mechanical and physical properties of the pipe material,
mass of pipe and contained fluid, external pressure,
operating temperature, thermal expansion effects, loads
due to external forces, thrust forces, water hammer,
vibration, maximum accelerations to which the system may
be subjected, and the type of support. The support spans
should also be checked for combinations of loads.
4.1.2 Each support should evenly distribute the load of
the pipe and its contents over the full width of the support
and be designed to minimize wear and abrasion.
4.1.3 Heavy components in the piping system such as
valves and expansion joints should be independently
supported.
4.1.4 Suitable provision should be made in each pipeline
to allow for relative movement between pipes made of plastics and the steel structure, having due regard to:
.1 the difference in the coefficients of thermal
expansion;
.2 deformations of the ships hull and its structure.
W/0322a
4.1.5 When calculating the thermal expansions, account

should be taken of the system working temperature and
the temperature at which assembling is performed.
4.2 External loads
4.2.1 Where applicable, allowance should be made for
temporary point loads. Such allowances should include at
least the force exerted by a load (person) of 100 kg at midspan on any pipe of more than 100 mm nominal outside
diameter.
4.2.2 Pipes should be protected from mechanical
damage where necessary.
4.3 Strength of connections
4.3.1 The requirements for connections are the same as
those requirements for the piping system in which they
are installed, as stated in paragraph 2.1.1.5.
4.3.2 Pipes may be assembled using adhesive-bonded,
flanged or mechanically coupled joints.
4.3.3 Adhesives, when used for joint assembly, should
be suitable for providing a permanent seal between the
pipes and fittings throughout the temperature and pressure
range of the intended application.
4.3.4 Tightening of flanged or mechanically coupled joints
should be performed in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions.
4.4 Control during installation
4.4.1 Joining techniques should be in accordance with
MSC/Circ.449. This circular requires the fabrication to be
in accordance with the manufacturers installation
guidelines, that personnel performing these tasks be
qualified to the satisfaction of the Administration, and that
each bonding procedure be qualified before shipboard
piping installation commences.
4.4.2 To qualify joint bonding procedures, the tests and
examinations specified herein should be successfully
completed. The procedure for making bonds should
include: all materials and supplies, tools and fixtures,
environmental requirements, joint preparation, dimensional
requirements and tolerances, cure time, cure temperature,
protection of work, tests and examinations and acceptance
criteria for the completed test assembly.
4.4.3 Any change in the bonding procedure which will
affect the physical and mechanical properties of the joint
should require the procedure to be requalified.
4.4.4 The employer should maintain a self-certification
record available to the Administration of the following:
- the procedure used, and
- the bonders and bonding operators employed by
him, showing the bonding performance
qualifications, dates and results of the qualification testing.
4.4.5 Procedure qualification testing should conform to
A 18/Res.753
the following:
A test assembly shall be fabricated in accordance with the
bonding procedure to be qualified and shall consist of at
least one pipe-to-pipe joint and one pipe-to-fitting joint.
When the test assembly has been cured, it shall be
subjected to a hydrostatic test pressure at a factor of safety
acceptable to the Administration times the design pressure
of the test assembly, for not less than one hour with no
leakage or separation of joints. The test shall be conducted
so that the joint is loaded in both the circumferential and
longitudinal directions similar to that to be experienced in
service. The size of the pipe used for the test assembly
shall be as follows:
4.8 Methods of repair

4.8.1 At sea, the pipe material should be capable of
temporary repair by the crew, and the necessary materials
and tools kept on board.
4.8.2 Permanent repairs to the piping material should be
capable of exhibiting the same mechanical and physical
properties as the original base material. Repairs carried
out and tested to the satisfaction of the Administration may
be considered permanent provided the strength is ade-
(1)
When the largest size to be joined is 200 mm
nominal outside diameter, or smaller, the test
assembly shall be the largest piping size to be joined.
(2)
When the largest size to be joined is greater than
200 mm nominal outside diameter, the size
of the test assembly shall be either 200 mm or 25% of the
largest piping size to be joined, whichever is greater.
4.4.6 When conducting performance qualifications, each
bonder and bonding operator should make up a test
assembly consisting of one pipe-to-pipe joint and one pipeto-fitting joint in accordance with the qualified bonding procedure. The size of the pipe used for the test assembly
should be the same as required in 4.5. The joint should
successfully pass the hydrostatic test described in 4.5.
4.5 Testing after installation on board
4.5.1 Piping systems for essential services should be
subjected to a test pressure not less than 1.5 times the
design pressure of the system.
4.5.2 Piping systems for non-essential services should
be checked for leakage under operational conditions.
4.5.3 For piping required to be electrically conductive,
the resistance to earth should be checked. Earthing wires
should be accessible for inspection.
4.6 Penetrations of fire divisions
4.6.1 Where A or B class divisions are penetrated for
the passage of plastic pipes, arrangements should be
made to ensure that the fire resistance is not impaired.
These arrangements should be tested in accordance with
Recommendations for fire test procedures for A B and
F bulkheads (resolution A.517(13), as amended.
4.7 Penetrations of watertight bulkheads and decks
4.7.1 Where plastic pipes pass through watertight
bulkheads or decks, the watertight integrity and strength
integrity of the bulkhead or deck should be maintained.
4.7.2 If the bulkhead or deck is also a fire division and
destruction by fire of the plastic pipes may cause the inflow
of liquids from tanks, a metallic shut-off valve operable
from above the freeboard deck should be fitted at the
bulkhead or deck.

APPENDIX 1
TEST METHOD FOR FIRE ENDURANCE TESTING
OF PLASTIC PIPING IN THE DRY CONDITION
Test method
1
A furnace test with fast temperature increase likely
to occur in a fully developed liquid hydrocarbon fire. The
time/temperature of the furnace should be as follows:
at the end of 5 min.
945 C
1,033 C
1,071 C
1,098 C
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 under
the curve of mean furnace temperature should not
vary by more than + 15% of the area under the standard
curve.
1.2
During the first half hour of the test the area under
the curve of mean furnace temperature should not vary by
more than + 10% of the area under the standard curve.
1.3
For any period after the first half hour of the test
the area under the curve of mean furnace temperature
should not vary by more than + 5% of the area under the
standard curve.
1.4
At any time after the first 10 min of the test the
mean furnace temperature should not differ from the
standard curve by more than + 100C.
2 The locations where the temperatures are measured,
the number of temperature measurements and the
measurement techniques are to be agreed by the
Administration taking into account the furnace control
specification as set out in paragraph 3.1.3 of the Annex of
Assembly resolution A.517(13).
Test specimen
2
The test specimen should be prepared with the
joints and fittings intended for use in the proposed
application. The number of specimens should be sufficient
to test typical joints and fittings including joints between
non-metal and metal pipes and fitting to be used. The ends
of the specimen should be closed. One of the ends should
allow presssurized nitrogen to be connected. The pipe ends
and closures may be outside the furnace. The general
orientation of the specimen should be horizontal and it
should be supported by one fixed support with the
remaining supports allowing free movement. The free
length between supports should not be less than 8 times
the pipe diameter.
Test conditions
3
If the insulation contains, or is liable to absorb,
moisture the specimen should not be tested until the
insulation has reached an air-dry condition. This condition
is defined as equilibrium with an ambient atmosphere of
50% relative humidity at 20 + 5 C. Accelerated
conditioning is permissible provided the method does not
alter the properties of component material. Special
samples should be used for moisture content determination
and conditioned with the test specimen. These samples
should be so constructed as to represent the loss of water
vapour from the specimen by having similar thickness and
exposed faces.
4
A nitrogen pressure inside the test specimen should
be maintained automatically at 0.7 bar + 0.1 bar during
the test. Means should be provided to record the pressure
inside the pipe and the nitrogen flow into and out of the
specimen in order to indicate leakage.
Acceptance criteria
5
During the test, no nitrogen leakage from the
sample should occur.
6
After termination of the furnace test, the test specimen together with fire protection coating, if any, should be
allowed to cool in still air to ambient temperature and then
tested to the rated pressure of the pipes as defined in
paragraphs II-1/2.2 and II-1/3.2 of these guidelines. The
pressure should be held for a minimum of 15 min. without
leakage. Where practicable, the hydrostatic test should
be conducted on bare pipe, that is pipe which has had all
of its coverings including fire protection insulation removed,
so that leakage will be readily apparent.
7
Alternative test methods and/or test procedures
considered to be at least equivalent including open pit
testing method, may be accepted in cases where the pipes
are too large for the test furnace.
Notes: 1
Most materials other than steel used for
pipes will require a thermal insulation to be able to
pass this test. The test procedure should include the
insulation and its covering.
2.
The number and size of test specimens
required for the approval test should be specified by
the Administration.
W/0322a
A 18/Res.753
APPENDIX 2
TEST METHOD FOR FIRE ENDURANCE TESTING
OF 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 source
should 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 centreline
of the burner array. This flux corresponds to a pre-mix
flame of propane with a fuel flow rate of 5 kg/h for a total
heat release rate of 65 kW. The gas consumption should
be measured with an accuracy of at least +3% in order to
maintain a constant heat flux. Propane with a minimum
purity of 95% should be used.
For piping greater than 152 mm in diameter, one
additional row of burners should be included for each 31
mm increase in pipe diameter. A constant heat flux
averaging 113.6 kW/m2 (+10%) should still be maintained
at the 12.5 + 1 cm height above the centreline of the burner
array. The fuel flow should be increased as required to
maintain the designated heat flux.
The burners should be type Sievert No. 2942 or
equivalent which produces an air mixed flame. The inner
diameter of the burner heads should be 29 mm (see figure
1). The burner heads should be mounted in the same plane
and supplied with gas from a manifold. If necessary, each
burner should be equipped with a valve in order to adjust
the flame height.
The height of the burner stand should also be
adjustable. It should be mounted centrally below the test
pipe with the rows of burners parallel to the pipes axis.
The distance between the burner heads and the pipe
should be maintained at 12.5 + 1 cm during the test. The
free length of the pipe between its supports should be .8
+0.05 m.
The pipe samples should rest freely in a horizontal

position on two V-shaped supports. The friction between
pipe and supports should be minimized. The supports may
consist of two stands, as shown in figure 2.
A relief valve should be connected to one of the
end closures of each specimen.
3
Test conditions
The test should be carried out in a sheltered test
site in order to prevent any draught influencing the test.
Each pipe specimen should be completely
filled with deaerated water to exclude air bubbles.
The water temperature should not be less than
15C at the start and should be measured continuously
during the test.
The water inside the sample should be stagnant
and the pressure maintained at 3 + 0.5 bar during the test.
4
Acceptance criteria
During the test, no leakage from the sample(s)
should occur except that slight weeping through the pipe
wall may be accepted.
After termination of the burner regulation test, the
test sample, together with fire protection coating, if any,
should be allowed to cool to ambient temperature and then
tested to the rated pressure of the pipes as defined in
paragraphs II-1/2.2 and II-1/3.2 of these guidelines. The
pressure should be held for a minimum of 15 minutes without significant leakages, i.e. not exceeding 0.2 1/min.
Where practicable, the hydrostatic test should be
conducted on bare pipe, that is pipe which has had all of
its coverings including fire protection insulation removed,
so that leakage will be readily apparent.
Test specimen
Each pipe should have a length of approximately
1.5 m. The test pipe should be prepared with permanent
joints and fittings intended to be used. Only valves and
straight joints versus elbows and bends should be tested
as the adhesive in the joint is the primary point of failure.
The number of pipe specimens should be sufficient to test
all typical joints and fittings. The ends of each pie specimen should be closed. One of the ends should allow
pressurized water to be connected.
If the insulation contains, or is liable to absorb,

moisture the specimen should not be tested until the
insulation has reached an air-dry condition. This condition
is defined as equilibrium with an ambient atmosphere of
50% relative humidity at 20 + 5 C. Accelerated
conditioning is permissible provided the method does not
alter the properties of the material
Special samples should be used for moisture content
determination and conditioned with the test specimen.
These samples should be so constructed as to represent
the loss of water vapour from the specimen by having
similar thickness and exposed faces.

size.
Tests should be made for each pipe material and
2
Test sample should be fabricated by cutting pipes
lengthwise into individual sections and then assembling
the sections into a test sample as representative as
possible of a flat surface. A test sample should consist of
at least two sections. The test sample should be 800 + 5
mm long. All cuts should be made normal to the pipe wall.
3
The number of sections that must be assembled
together to form a test sample should be that which
corresponds to the nearest integral number of sections
which should make a test sample with an equivalent
linearized surface width between 155 and 180 mm. The
surface width is defined as the measured sum of the outer
circumference of the assembled pipe sections that are
exposed to the flux from the radiant panel.
4
The assembled test sample should have no gaps
between individual sections.
5
The assembled test sample should be constructed
in such a way that the edges of two adjacent sections
should coincide with the centreline of the test holder.
6
The individual test sections should be attached to
the backing calcium silicate board using wire (No. 18
recommended) inserted at 50 mm intervals through the
board and tightened by twisting at the back.
7
The individual pipe sections should be mounted
so that the highest point of the exposed surface is in the
same plane as the exposed flat surface of a normal surface.
8
The space between the concave unexposed
surface of the test sample and the surface of the calcium
silicate backing board should be left void.
9
The void space between the top of the exposed
test surface and the bottom edge of the sample holder
frame should be filled with a high temperature insulating
wool if the width of the pipe segments extend under the
side edges of the sample holding frame.

Exxon mobile bay using Bondstrand 2000M GRE pipe for

Deck Drain service
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.

Bondstrand GRE for Chevron platforms
(formerly Unocal 76)
In the early 1980s, 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.
Project
Scope
Pipe system
A 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.

Advantages
Unocals decision to specify Bondstrand was taken for a number of reasons:
Light-weight compared to steel, resulting in cheaper secondary structures
Absolute chemical and corrosion resistance against hydrocarbons and seawater
Reliable and long-time performance of the material
Lower installation costs because of the light weight
Avoiding of welding and hot work procedures for extensions or modifications
offshore (Amerplastics even executed so called hot-tap procedures on GRE)
Lower initial building costs, together with remarkably lower cost of ownership.
Weight saving aspect
For 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).
Taper/Taper adhesive-bonded Joint
Gas Injection platforms (USGIF) using Bondstrand GRE

pipe systems
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 worlds 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 Systems
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-OPCOs concession includes two major fields, Umm
Shaif and Zakum, one of the largest oil fields in the world. They are
the companys two main sources of offshore oil drilling. The crude is
transferred from these fields to Das Island, the companys 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.

CA and CWP platform installed at the Azeri oil field
1. Introduction
In 2001, NOV Fiber Glass Systems secured an order
for the supply of Bondstrand GRE (Glassfiber
Reinforced Epoxy) pipes and fittings for several
platforms for the ACG (Azeri, Chirag, Guneshli full
field development project in the Caspian Sea,
Azerbaijan. The order was negotiated and finalised
with BP (British Petroleum) acting on behalf of AIOC
(Azerbaijan International Operating Company).
KBR (Kellogg, Brown and Root, London (UK)) was
responsable for the technical evaluation of the
bidding process, after which NOV Fiber Glass
Systems was awarded the contract.
The ACG full field development project comprised

three phases during which a total of six platforms
were built between 2002 and 2007. Furthermore,
NOV Fiber Glass Systems also received the order for
the supply of the 3 km., 24-inch water disposal line
at the Sangachal oil terminal.
The total NOV Fiber Glass Systems order value
exceeded 10 million, making it one of the larger
offshore projects ever carried out by NOV Fiber
Glass Systems.

2. Project description
In September 1994, a PSA (Production Sharing
Agreement) was signed in Azerbaijan between the
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.

4. Location of the ACG full field

development project
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
Photo 8. C&WP platform in production at ATA yard
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.

5. Project scope of work

NOV Fiber Glass Systems tendered and won the
project and acted as overall Project Managers with
regards to the GRE scope of supply. NOV Fiber
Glass Systems reviewed the specification and
technical documents and reviewed the stress
analysis. Furthermore, NOV Fiber Glass Systems
manufactured the Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy
(GRE) pipe and fittings and free supplied the pipe
and fittings for pre-fabrication.
NOV Fiber Glass Systems additionally provided:

Component dimensions in computerized form
suitable for direct input into the 3D PDMS model;
Qualified personnel at the fabrication site to train
and supervise spool installation, personnel
training, testing and storage. Two NOV Fiber Glass
Systems field service engineers were permanently
based in Baku to supervise spool fabrication and
spool installation;
Qualified design personnel to check design
calculations and isometrics;
Appropriate qualification test data for all
components to be supplied;
Fabrication of spools for CA platform
(sub-contracted to Amerplastics).
PIPEX (NOV Fiber Glass Systems distributor for the

United Kingdom):
Supported NOV Fiber Glass Systems in securing
the project;
Wrote the project specification, now being the
KBR GRE project standard;
Reviewed the isometrics for fabrication, testing
and fire protection;
Tracked the isometrics drawings from KBR to
MCCI and following the Pipex review, final
isometrics were issued to NOV Fiber Glass
Systems (then forwarded to Amerplastics).
AMERPLASTICS (NOV Fiber Glass Systems

distributor for the Benelux):
Received material from NOV Fiber Glass Systems
to prefabricate spools for the CA platform;
Produced spool shop drawings and prefabricated
the spools;
Hydrotested and conductivity tested the spools;
Applied Favuseal to the spools (fire protection);
Prepared the spools for shipment.

The pipework scope of supply for the Azeri project
platforms included:
Seawater;
Firewater;
Coolingwater;
Sewage;
Non-hazardous open drains;
Atmospheric vent.
Photo 14. Seawater supply lines
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.
Figure 1. Stress analysis
Photo 15. 12 Bondstrand firewater ring line

Photo 16. Several pipe systems on a pipe rack
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.
Photo 17. Crossing of several

pipe systems
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.
Figure 2. Quick-Lock joint
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

1.0 Introduction
1.1
GENERAL
Historically, offshore exploration, production platforms and ship owners have had to face the grim reality
of replacing most metal piping two or three times during the average life of a vessel or platform. This has
meant, of course, that piping systems end up costing several times that of the original investment since
replacement is more expensive than new installation. When you add the labor costs, the downtime and
the inconvenience of keeping conventional steel or alloy piping systems in safe operating condition, the
long-term advantages of fiberglass piping become very obvious.
1.2

ECONOMY
Bondstrand offshore piping and Bondstrand marine and naval pipe systems have corrosion resistance
surpassing copper-nickel and more exotic alloys, but with an installed cost less than carbon steel.
Numerous shipyards have recorded their Bondstrand installation costs on new construction projects and
report savings from 30 to 40 percent compared to traditional steel pipe.
2.0 Design for Expansion & Contraction

2.1
LENGTH CHANGE DUE TO THERMAL EXPANSION

Like other types of piping material, in an unrestrainted condition, Bondstrand fiberglass reinforced
pipe changes its length with temperature. Tests show that the amount of expansion varies linearly
with temperature, in other words, the coefficient of thermal expansion in Bondstrand pipe is constant, it equals to 0.00001 inch per inch per degree Fahrenheit (0.000018 millimeter- per millimeter
per degree centigrade).
The amount of expansion can be calculated by the formula:
L =
where
L T
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), and
T = change in temperature (F or C).
Example: Find the amount of expansion in 100 feet (30.48 meter) of Series 2000M pipe due to a
change of 90F (50C) in temperature:

of pipe due to the same amount of temperature change.

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 thrust
force applied to the end of the pipeline. The amount of this change in the pipe length depends on the
pipe wall thickness, diameter, Poissons ratio and the effective modulus of elasticity in both axial and
circumferential directions at operating temperature.

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 Poissons effect. The
result is a net increase in length which can be calculated by the simplified formula:
L = L
where
p ID2

L = length of pipe (in. or cm.),

6
El = longitudinal modulus of elasticity (psi or kg./cm2),

Dm = mean diameter of pipe wall = ID + t,
ID = inside diameter of the pipe (in. or cm.), and
t = thickness of pipe wall (in. or cm.)
Example: Find the length change in 10 meters of Bondstrand Series 2000M, 8-inch pipe which is
subjected to an internal pressure of 145 psi (10 bars) at 75 F (24C).

Obtain length increase for other pressure by using a direct pressure ratio correction. For example, to
find the length change caused by 150 psi pressure in a 6-inch pipe, multiply 0.4 inch by the pressure
ratio 150/100 to obtain an amount of 0.6 inch length increase.
2.2.2 Restrained Systems

MECHANICAL COUPLING
(Dresser Type)
W.T. BHD.
Fig. 2-3
In the piping system, shown in Figure 2-3, all longitudinal thrusts are eliminated by the use of fixed
supports; therefore, the pipe is subjected only to load in the circumferential direction. Without the
end thrust present, the first term in the equation is dropped and the length change becomes:
L = L

2 (0.612 cm) (21.5 cm) (253105 kg/cm)2
L = - .442 cm or .442 cm reduction in length
As indicated by the formula and demonstrated by the example, in a restrained installation where a
mechanical coupling is used, application of pressure will result in a contraction of the pipe. This
shortening effect is found favorable in most applications where the designer can use the reduction in
length to compensate for thermal expansion. Conversely, allowances should be made where operating 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 results
from sudden change of the supports relative location. This dynamic loading should be accounted for
in the design. The degree of fluctuation in length between the two support points depends on the
ships structural characteristics, i.e., the ship size, the size of the dynamic load, etc. This type of
movement in the piping system should be considered with other length changes previously discussed; however, calculation of expansion and contraction due to dynamic loading is beyond the
intended scope of this manual.
2.3.1 Equipment Vibration

Under normal circumstances, Bondstrand pipe will safely absorb vibration from pumping if the pipe
is protected against external abrasion at supports.
Vibration can be damaging when the generated frequency is at, or near, the natural resonance frequency of the pipeline. This frequency is a function of the support system, layout geometry, temperature, mass and pipe stiffness.
10
There are two principal ways to control excessive stress caused by vibration. Either install, observe
during operation, and add supports or restraints as required; or add an elastometric expansion joint
or 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 of
50F to 100F (32C to 82C). Since a piping system operating at low stress level provides
longer service life, it is good practice to reduce the amount of stress caused by thermal and/or pressure expansion. This can be accomplished by using one or more of the following:
A. Flexible Joints
a.1 Mechanical coupling (Dresser-type), or
a.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 absorb
thermal 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 offers
some flexibility that will relieve thermal expansion in the pipe; however, this can only absorb a limited
amount of axial movement, usually about 3/8 in. (10mm) per coupling. Thus, more than one coupling
must 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 moderate
temperature and pressure application, such as often found in ballast piping systems, the total expansion of a 40-foot Bondstrand pipe is within the coupling recommended limit. For additional information 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 flexibility in design. This is advantageous in long section of pipe such as in cargo piping which sometimes
runs the entire length of the ship. An expansion joint is normally not needed in ballast piping system
where 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 deflection. Besides adding weight, most of these joints act as partial structural hinges which afford only
limited transfer of moment and shear. Where the expansion joint relies on elastomers of thermoplastics, 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 stiffen or fail to function due to sedimentation build up in the expansion joint. Failure of the expansion
joint could cause excessive pipe deflection. Regular schedule maintenance and cleaning of the
expansion joint is recommended to assure adequate function of the piping system.
11
2.6
DESIGN WITH PIPE LOOPS

Where space is not a primary concern, expansion loops are the preferred method for relieving the
thermal stress between anchors in suspended piping systems since it can be easily fabricated using
pipe 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, air
removal 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 outlined as follows:
Fig. 2-4
Consider a properly guided expansion loop as shown in Figure 2-4. The centroid 0 of this structure
is located at the center of the guides A and B, and the line of thrust will lie parallel to a line joining
the guides. The only force that acts on this loop is in the x direction and can be found by the equation.
Fx =

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 bending
stress in the pipe and fittings. Alignment and deflection are also directly affected by the angular displacement 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 86
percent more than a 90 elbow. The relative displacement in the plane of a loop is also more of a
problem. Figure 2-6 illustrates the geometry involved.

3.0 Design for Thrust (Restrained Systems)

3.1
GENERAL PRINCIPLES
Occasionally, the layout of a system makes it impossible to allow the pipe to move freely, as for
example, a ballast line running thwart-ships between longitudinal bulkheads. Or it may be necessary
to anchor certain runs of an otherwise free system. In a fully restrained pipe (anchored against movement at both ends), the designer must deal with thrust rather than length change. Both temperature
and pressure produce thrust which must be resisted at turns, branches, reducers and ends. Knowing
the magnitude of this thrust enables the designer to select satisfactory anchors and check the axial
stress in pipe and shear stress in joints. Remember that axial thrust on anchors is normally independent of anchor spacing.
Caution: In restrained systems, pipe fittings can be damaged by faulty anchorage or by untimely
release of anchors. Damage to fittings in service can be caused by bending or slipping of an improperly designed or installed anchor. Also, length changes due to creep are induced by high pressures
or temperatures while pipe is in service. When anchors must later be released, especially in long pipe
runs, 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. In
practice, 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 temperature and pressure cycles. Neither compressive nor tensile loads, however, are expected to exceed
the 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 at
the anchors and converted to thrust. The thrust developed depends on thermal coefficient of expansion, 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 complicated. This is because in straight, restrained pipelines with all joints adhesive bonded or flanged, the
Poisson effect produces considerable tension in the pipe wall.
As internal pressure is applied, the pipe expands circumferentially and at the same time contracts
longitudinally. This tensile force is important because it acts to reduce the hydrostatic thrust on
anchors. In lines with elbows, closed valves, reducers or closed ends, the internal pressure works on
the cross-sectional area of the ends. This thrust tends to be about twice as great as the effect of
pressure 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 on
anchors.

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 calculated
by:
P =
where
TAEl
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 = 150F
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 =
where
pDmID
El
Ec
(-lc )
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
= Poissons ratio.
Note: Use elastic properties at lowest operating temperature to calculate maximum expected thrust.
20
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
then
= 0.56
P =
3.14 (100) (6.44) (6.26)

2
(1.6) (0.56) =1,580 lbf (tension)

(3.6)
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 thrust
using:
where
ID
2
p
4
ID = inside diameter of the pipe (in. or cm).
P =
Values are given in Table 3-Ill.

For example: If there is 100 psi in a 6-inch (6.26 ID) pipe, thrust is
2
P = 3.14 (6.26) 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
P
A
f = longitudinal stress (psi or kg/cm2).
In the last example for pressure on a closed end:
f = 3,080 = 728psi
4.23
The allowable stress is one third of the longitudinal tensile strength at the appropriate temperature as
given in the Bondstrand Product Data Sheet. For Series 2000M and Series 7000M pipe the allowable
stress at 70F is 8,500 psi/3.0 = 2830 psi (199 kg/cm2). For short-term effects such as those resulting from green sea loads, a higher allowable stress may be justified.
21
Shear stress in an adhesive bonded joint is:
=
where
P
DjLb
= shear stress in adhesive (psi or kg/cm2),

Dj = joint diamater (in. or cm), see Table 3-IV.
Lb = bond length (in. or cm), see Table 3-IV.
For example: In the case of 100 psi pressure on a closed end 6-inch pipe, as previously calculated:
P = 3,080 lbf
=
3,080
3.14 (6.54) 2.25
= 67 psi
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 products) is 212 psi (14.4 kg/cm2).

4.0 Support Location & Spacing

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 needed
where pipe is exposed to large external forces as for example, pipe on desk subject to green wave
loading.
Techniques used in determining support requirements for Bondstrand are similar to those used for
carbon 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 percent
of the weight of schedule 40 steel, has a longitudinal modulus 14 times smaller, and a thermal coefficient of expansion 50 percent larger.
4.2
ABRASION PROTECTION
Bondstrand should be protected from external abrasion where it comes in contact with guides and
support, 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 ships structure. Such protection is achieved through the use of hanger liners, rider bars or pads made of teflon or other acceptable material. Refer to Table 4-I for details.
TABLE 4-I
PIPE HANGER LINER, RIDER BAR, OR PAD MATERIAL
FOR ABRASION PROTECTION
27
4.3
SPANS ALLOWING AXIAL MOVEMENT

Supports that allow expansion and contraction of pipe should be located on straight runs of pipe
where axial movement is not restricted by flanges or fittings. In general, supports may be located at
positions convenient to nearby ships structures, provided maximum lengths of spans are not
exceeded.
4.4
SPAN RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommended maximum spans for Bondstrand pipe at various operating temperatures are given in
Table 4-Il. These spans are intended for normal horizontal piping arrangements, i.e., those which
have no fittings, valves, vertical runs, etc., but which may include flanges and nonuniform support
spacings. The tabular values represent a compromise between continuous and single spans. When
installed at the support spacings indicated in Table 4-Il, the weight of the pipe full of water will produce a long-time deflection of about 1/2 inch, (12.7 mm), which is usually acceptable for appearance
and adequate drainage. Fully continuous spans may be used with support spacings 20 percent
greater for this same deflection; in simple spans, support spacings should be 20 percent less. For
this purpose, continuous spans are defined as interior spans (not end spans), which are uniform in
length and free from structural rotation at supports. Simple spans are supported only at the ends and
are either hinged or free to rotate at the supports. In Table 4-Il, recommendations for support spacings for mechanical joints assume simple spans and 20 ft. (6.1m) pipe length. For additional information 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 specific
gravity of 1.0. Perhaps the most common external loading is thermal insulation, but the basic principle is the same for all loads which are uniformly distributed along the pipeline. The way to adjust for
increased loads is to decrease the support spacing, and conversely, the way to adjust for decreased
loads is to increase the support spacing. An example of the latter is a line filled with a gas instead of
a 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 deflection of 0.5 inch are determined using:

Note:
1. For 14- through 36-inch diameters, loads tabulated are for Iron Pipe Size and are 7 to 12 percent
less 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 calculated
for 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:

SUSPENDED SYSTEM RESTRAINED FROM MOVEMENT

Anchors may be used to restrict axial movement at certain locations (see Section 5 for anchor
details). 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, but
it also prevents excessive loads on pipe connections due to torque applied by operation of
valves.
Refer to Section 3 for determining thrust in an anchored system.
TABLE 4-III
MODULUS OF ELASTICITY FOR CALCULATIONS OF SUPPORT SPACINGS
30
In pipe runs anchored at both ends, a method of control must be devised in order to prevent excessive lateral deflection or buckling of pipe due to compressive load. Guides may be required in conjunction with expansion joints to control excessive deflection. Tables 4-V and 4-VI give recommendations
on guide spacing versus temperature change for marine pipe with restrained ends.

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 behavior
near the origin of the curve.

If y is less than 0.5 inch (1.27cm), the L obtained using the Euler equation is the recommended
guide spacing. If y is greater than .5 inch (1.27cm), choose a shorter length L and solve the Roark
equation 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 reason, the force due to expansion of Bondstrand pipe is not great enough to compress most varieties
of 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 have
very limited resistance to external forces and, therefore, are not suitable for use in the bottom of
tanks. However, it can be used for piping systems installed in the double bottoms were hydrostatic
collapse pressure is not a requirement. During the installation careful consideration must be given to
the proper support and guidance.

There are also very distinct advantages to these expansion joints. They reduce vibration caused by
equipment, 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 be
placed as close as possible to one anchor or the other. The opposite side of the expansion joint
should have a guide placed no further than five times the pipes diameter from the expansion joint
with a second guide positioned farther down the pipe. To determine the spacing for the second
guide, find manufacturers specifications on force required to compress the joint and refer to Figure
4-1 for recommended spacing.
The horizontal line at the top of each curve represents maximum support spacing for a totally unrestrained system. The lower end of the curve also becomes horizontal at the value for maximum guide
spacing for a totally restrained system. This graph only shows values for pipes smaller than 12 inch
diameter. In large diameters, the slightly increased guide spacing is not great enough to compensate
for the added cost of the expansion joint.
The guide spacing for variable end thrust as produced by an expansion joint may be calculated as

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 collars 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 at
the top and bottom turns.
In vertical pipe runs, accommodate vertical length changes if possible by allowing free movement of
fittings 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 for
accommodations 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 Tables
4-V or 4-VI, or
Anchor the vertical run near its base and use intermediate Dresser-type couplings as required to
accommodate the calculated expansion and contraction.
Treat columns more than 100 feet (30m) high (either hanging or standing) as special designs; support
and provision for length change are important. The installer should be especially careful to avoid
movement due to wind or support vibration while joints are curing.

CASE STUDY: VERTICAL RISER IN BALLAST TANK

A 210,000 DWT Tanker trades between Alaska and Panama. Segregated ballast tanks next to cargo
tanks are served by 16 inch (400mm) Bondstrand Series 7000M pipe with RP-60 adhesive as shown
in Figure 4-2. Maximum working pressure is 225 psi (15.5 bars). Maximum cargo temperature is
130F (54C). Minimum cargo temperature is 70F (21C). Minimum ballast water temperature in
Alaska is 30F (-1C). Length of riser is 80 ft. (24.4m). Ambient temperature at time of pipe installation
is 70F (21C). Maximum ambient temperature in Panama is 110F (43C).
4.9.1 What relative movement is expected between bottom of riser and bulkhead assuming 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 temperature (1300F) and the fiberglass pipe is at minimum ballast water temperature (300F); i.e. at time of
loading cargo in Alaska.

Panama.

= 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 expected 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. Since
the 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 buckling.
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 30F = 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 (110F) and
full cargo tank at 70F. The pipe T = 110-70=40F. 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 tank
and maximum pressure occur simultaneously.
f = (33,750 + 20,840)/22.5
= 2,426 psi < 2,830 psi allowable
Check shear stress in RP60 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.
40
4.9.4
Solution B: Dresser-type couplings. Contraction in riser pipe due to pressure:
L = (80 x 12)
225 (15.9)2
(.56) 2(.47) 3,600,000 (15.19 + .47)
= 0.53 inches
Thus the total contraction due to pressure and temperature is 0.75 + 0.53 = 1.28 inches. Each coupling allows 0.375 inch movement (See Appendix A) without gasket scuffing. However, considering
the infrequent nature of the worse-case condition, two couplings should be sufficient. Light duty
anchors 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.

INTRODUCTION
Proper support of fiberglass piping systems is essential far the success of marine fiberglass installations. In dealing with installations of fiberglass pipe by shipyards, riding crews, arid owners throughout the world, the need for a Chapter dedicated to commonly used installation details has become
evident.
The recommendations and details herein are based on sound engineering principles and experience
in successful fiberglass piping installations. They are offered as alternatives and suggestions for evaluation, modification and implementation by a qualified Marine Engineer. Taking short cuts to save
material 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 for
attachment to ships structure, bulkhead or deck. Good practice requires that support lengths in pipe
runs 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 changes
at mechanical joints. To control deflections, the designer must allow for the weight and flexibility (hinge
effect) 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 Durometer
hardness 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 of
rigid pipe hangers.

metal capable of being welded water tight to the steel structure and must comply with classification
societies 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 can
also be used when the diameter of the metallic spool piece differs from the outside diameter of the
fiberglass pipe.
Note:
All spool pieces must be aligned with the longitudinal axis of the piping system within tolerance permitted by the mechanical coupling manufacturer regardless of the deck or bulkhead slope.

5.2.2 Water Tight Bulkhead Penetration, Flanged Both Ends (Figure 52 )

The difference between this water tight spool piece and the previous one is the incorporation of
flanges at both ends of the water tight bulkhead. This spool piece penetration is commonly used if a
valve must be attached at the bulkhead penetration as required for design, safety reasons or classification society rules.
The alignment between the steel and fiberglass flanges must be within the tolerance discussed later
in Paragraph 5.2.13 and shown by Figure 513. Special attention is required when valves are
mounted on the flanges; lock washers shall be placed on the steel side (compressed by the nut) and
flat washers on the fiberglass side (supported by the bolt).

5.2.3 Adjustable Water Tight Bulkhead Penetration, Flanged or Plain End. (Figure 53)
This particular spool piece connection allows tack welding at the bulkhead prior to final assembly so
that the pipe is truly aligned, thus relieving fabrication stresses in the system. Two tanks can be
aligned simultaneously with the use of this adjustable bulkhead penetration for proper alignment of
the fiberglass pipe and fittings.

5.2.4 Anchor Supports. (Figure 54)

This particular detail uses fiberglass saddle stock halfcollars to anchor the pipe and prevent longitudinal displacement along the axis. The gap between each 1800 saddle and the flat bar type clamp is
1/8 in. (3mm). These steel clamps are fabricated by the shipyard conforming to I.P.S. or M.C.I. outside 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 55 On Preceding Page)
This anchor support is accomplished in the same manner as Figure 54. It restricts the pipe from
axial movement. The additional saddles will increase the area of contact between the saddle and the
pipe to accommodate axial forces.
Calculations of thrust are discussed in Chapter 3. If the shear value of the adhesive to be used on a
particular systems is exceeded (see Section 3.6), alternate types of anchors should be used; especially at fittings. See Figures 58 and 59 for examples.

5.2.6
Anchor Supports Using Full Metal Clamp (Figure 56)
The flat bar clamp is designed to restrain the pipe from axial movement. Saddle stock is installed on
both sides of the steel clamp. In order to hold the pipe without damage see Table 51 below for
recommended space between the bottom part of the clamp and upper part of the clamp.
For small pipe diameters 16 in. (25150mm) it is useful to use a 1/4 thick (6mm) neoprene pad
(Durometer A 5060) compressed between the pipe and metal clamp. This will not prevent movement of the pipe in the axial direction. To prevent movement, the pipe must be properly anchored
with saddle supports using half or full collars depending on the thrust imposed by the hydrostatic
pressure 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.

Pipe Anchor Using 180 Saddle Stock Full Collar (Figure 55)
This anchor support is accomplished in the same manner as Figure 54. It restricts the pipe from
axial movement. The additional saddles will increase the area of contact between the saddle and the
pipe to accommodate axial forces.
Calculations of thrust are discussed in Chapter 3. If the shear value of the adhesive to be used on a
particular systems is exceeded (see Section 3.6), alternate types of anchors should be used; especially at fittings. See Figures 58 and 59 for examples.
5.2.6
Anchor Supports Using Full Metal Clamp (Figure 56)
The flat bar clamp is designed to restrain the pipe from axial movement. Saddle stock is installed on
both sides of the steel clamp. In order to hold the pipe without damage see Table 51 below for
recommended space between the bottom part of the clamp and upper part of the clamp.
For small pipe diameters 16 in. (25150mm) it is useful to use a 1/4 thick (6mm) neoprene pad
(Durometer A 5060) compressed between the pipe and metal clamp. This will not prevent movement of the pipe in the axial direction. To prevent movement, the pipe must be properly anchored
with saddle supports using half or full collars depending on the thrust imposed by the hydrostatic
pressure or temperature change in the piping system.

5.2.7 Anchor Supports Using Flat Bar Top Half and Steel Shape Bottom (Figure 57 Previous Page)
This type of anchor support is similar in purpose to that shown in Figure 56. Many shipyards prefer
this type.
Caution: Dimensions of the steel clamp must provide for a loose fit around the fiberglass pipe when attached to
the steel angle shape below. If the pipe is clamped against the flat steel surface on the bottom half, the
force imposed at the tangential point of contact between the pipe and steel can damage the fiberglass
pipe. (See Table 5I). For diameters greater than 8 inches this problem is less severe due to increased
thickness of the pipe wall. (See Chapter 4, Table 4IV)
Note:
The supports shown in Figs. 54, 55, 56 and 57 are designed to restrain axial movement of the
pipe when they are fitted with 180 deg. saddles.
5.2.8 Thrust Support For 90 and 45 Elbows (Figure 58 on Following Page)

The thrust support plate of Figure 58 is used when the hydrostatic force or thrust in the piping system will exceed the shear strength of the adhesive bonded joint. It is recommended that this type of
support be used in transferring the load from the joint directly into the body of the fitting. The fitting
will absorb thrust imposed on the piping system. The support plate will be permanently attached to
the standard foundation detail produced by the shipyard with addition of a torsional support plate
bolted 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 be
installed between the thrust support plate and the outside of the elbow completely covering the
inside curved surface which will contact the pipe. The neoprene pad should be fully compressed
against the thrust plate. If the thrust plate support cannot be made into a smooth radius, an alternative method is to weld together straight plates (Lobster-Back configuration). In this case the neoprene pad must be sufficiently thick so that when the pad is compressed between the fitting and the
Lobster-Back support, a full contact of the outside diameter of the pipe is accomplished with the
compression of the neoprene pad. This assures that the forces will be transmitted directly to the
steel 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 the
fitting using thrust support plates to allow axial movement in the piping system and relieve part of the
thrust imposed on the fitting. This practice has been used successfully in previous installations. See
Note in Section 5.2.9.
5.2.9 Thrust Support Plate For Tees (Figure 59 On Page 5.8)

The thrust support plate of Figure 59 is used when the hydrostatic force or thrust in the piping system will exceed the shear strength of the adhesive bonded joint. It is recommended that this type of
support be used in transferring the load from the joint directly into the body of the fitting. The fitting
will absorb thrust imposed on the piping system. The thrust support plate for the tee is simpler in
design than the previous thrust support for elbows. The construction is straight and simple without
compound curvature and can be accomplished by rolling the plate to conform to the outside diameter of the tee.
48
Fig. 58
49
Fig. 59
The accommodation of the neoprene pad will be the same as Figure 58 with the objective to transfer the thrust force of the piping system into the thrust support plate and not into the flange or bonded joints of the tee. Because of the geometrical configuration of the tee, a torsional plate will not be
required. All the rest of the recommendations previously discussed in Figure 58 are also applicable
to the tee support.
Note:
It is advisable to coat the U bolts which hold the elbows and tees against the thrust support plates
with Amercoat, urethane or similar coatings to protect against corrosion, and also cushion between the
fittings and the U bolt. Another method used by some shipyards is to introduce a neoprene sleeve
around the U bolts. This Note applies to all supports using U bolts.
5.2.10 Anchor Support Plate Bolted to a Flanged Fitting (Figure 510 On Following Page)
This anchor support is used for flange fittings when the hydrostatic forces imposed by the design of
the piping system do not exceed the adhesive shear stress value. (See Section 3.6 of this manual.)
Figure 510 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 511 On Page 5.10)
The steel supports shown in Figure 511 apply for various kinds of valves. Valves in sizes 4 in. and
under are relatively light can normally be supported with a single support. Gate valves and similar
large and heavy valves in sizes 6 in. and up require two supports to accommodate the weight and
directly transmit it to the ships structure. Valves such as globe or gate valves with reach rods
extending to the above decks require double support.
See Table 5Il below for required number of bolts in support plates.
50
Fig. 510
Flanged plates must be properly designed to support the weight of valves and transmit it directly to
the ships 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 512)
This simple design has been adopted almost universally for guides in ship construction. Teflon has
selflubricating properties which help to reduce friction between the surface of the pipe and the
steel without inducing abrasion on the fiberglass component. Teflon also is inert to most chemicals
and petroleum derivatives used in tank ships, white product, and chemical carriers. The minimum
thickness of the teflon pad is recommended to be 1/5 inch (5mm). Teflon thickness should be
increased proportionally to the largest size of the piping system i.e., 1/4 inch (6mm) for 20 inches and
above. The teflon pad can be utilized (or installed) in different configurations, some shipyards feel
that the teflon pad in conjunction with the holes for the U bolt will be sufficient. Others shipyards prefer to have an indentation on the teflon pad to prevent any sliding in the center between the two
holes supporting the pad. The third anchor point will be in the center of the teflon pad and the metal
bar as shown as an alternative on Figure 512. It is also recommended that the U bolts be coated
with Amercoat, urethane or hot dip coating to prevent corrosion.
5.2.13 Maximum Flange Misalignment Allowance (Figure 513)

The Table in Figure 513 shows allowable misalignment for flanges from 116 inches diameter and
from 1836 inches diameter. It is recommended that these allowances not be exceeded in order to
accomplish a proper seal between flanges without inducing unacceptable stresses.

To convert pressure in psi to bars, divide by 14.5. To convert pressure in kg/cm2 to bars, divide by
1.02.
Based on the formula given above, the rated operating pressure for Series 2000M and Series 7000M
pipe is tabulated in Table 6I. This provides longterm performance in accordance with the cyclic
Hydrostatic Design Basis (ASTM D2992, Method A) and provides a 4 to 1 safety factor on short
term hydrostatic performance as required by proposed ASTM Marine Piping Specifications.
Note:
Fittings and/or mechanical couplings may reduce the system working pressure below that
shown in Table 6I. See Bondstrand Product Data Sheets FP168 and FP169 and coupling manufacturers literature.

When installing pipe in the bottom of tanks, the pipe must resist the combined external fluid pressure
and internal suction. It is assumed that a positive displacement pump can pull a maximum of 75 percent vacuum. The designer should also allow for a safety factor of 3 in accordance with proposed

7.1
INTRODUCTION
When comparing Fiberglass and carbon steel piping systems it becomes evident that selection of
Fiberglass 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 of
the smoothness of the bore, and the length and diameter of the pipe. Therefore, the best means of
minimizing this pressure drop in a particular piping service is to minimize the internal roughness of
the pipe. This internal roughness causes movement of the fluid particles in the boundary layer adjacent 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 significant
difference between the inner surface of Fiberglass and steel pipe after the pipes have been in service
for 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 bacterial algae, and fungi that could build up on the inner surface. Also, Fiberglass has high chemical
and abrasion resistance. In marine applications, where pipelines are usually short, the major portion
of the total pressure drop in a system occurs in the valves and fittings. It is customary to express the
resistance of valves and fittings in terms of equivalent length of pipe, these are added to the actual
length 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, with
a 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 equation. This section gives the information needed to solve these head loss problems for fluids such as
crude oil and salt brine. Head loss for two-phase fluids such as sludges and slurries is not covered.
7.3.1 HazenWilliams Equation (For Water Pipe, Full Flow)

An equation commonly used for calculating head loss in water piping is that published by Hazen and
Williams. Solving for head loss, this equation becomes
HL = 1046
Q
C ID2.63
1 . 852
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).

In International System (SI) units, this equation is

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 programmable
calculator, for both laminar and turbulent flow conditions.
Figure 7-1 gives the head loss versus discharge for water flowing in Bondstrand pipe based on the
Darcy-Weisbach equation
HL = f

ID
2g
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 to
feet and the gravitational constant is changed to 32.2 feet per second2. When using Figure 7-1, convert 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 by
use of the Moody equations.

If the Reynolds Number falls below 2000, the flow can be assumed to be laminar. Then the Darcy
friction factor becomes
f =

R
Roughness Parameter
The smoothness of the inside pipe surface over the life of Bondstrand pipe produces lower frictional
head loss compared to most other piping materials. The lower head loss means lower pressures will
be 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 high
probability that this low level roughness will be sustained, and will not be increased due to corrosion
and incrustation as often the case with steel piping, which may double in roughness under certain
conditions.
Kinematic Viscosity of Fluid
Increase in fluid viscosity leads to increased head loss. Table 7I illustrates the effect of kinematic
viscosity on head loss for several common fluids. Kinematic viscosity is defined as the absolute viscosity divided by the density. It varies with temperature. The kinematic viscosity for water at room
temperature 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 between
laminar flow and turbulent flow in 6-in. pipe is seen in the plot for a fluid having a kinematic viscosity
of 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 above
methods after obtaining their equivalent pipe lengths using Figure 7-3. For example, find the equivalent 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 second, proceed vertically to intersect the 6-in. diameter curve, and read Le = 6 meters on the left ordinate. Multiply this value by the resistance coefficient, K, given for 90 degree elbows in Table 7-Il to
obtain 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. The
resistance 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 equivalent 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 can
be 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.

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 this
topic, namely energy savings in cargo tank discharge, and how loading and unloading time can be
reduced 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 pumps 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 performance
characteristics which vary from pump to pump. This flow variation with pressure can be found in the
pump manufacturers literature, thus it is omitted from further discussion here.

7.5.2 FullPipe Flow Of Water In LowFriction Fiberglass Pipe

Lets now focus our discussion only to the pipeline and examine how low friction pipe can improve
the volume flow rate of the system.
For example consider two pipelines - Schedule 40 steel and Bondstrand Series 2000M pipe - both
designed to transport water 100 meters. We will compare the volume flow rate. The friction head loss
in the pipelines can be calculated by the Hazen-Williams formula as stated before. In metric units:
HL = 1068
Where
C ID2.63
HL =
head loss (meters per 100 meters of pipe)
1 . 852
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 discharge will be different due to the differences in friction coefficient in the pipe. In other words, using
the same head loss for both pipe, we obtain:
HL = 1068
Qsteel
Csteel IDsteel2.63

Rearrange the above expression to show the flow rate in Bondstrand pipe in terms of flow rate in
steel pipe:
2.63

Examining the above formula, we can conclude that for the same head loss, Fiberglass pipe will
deliver more volume flow rate that that of the same nominal diameter steel pipe since the product
of
CBS
Csteel
and
IDBS
IDsteel
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 a
severely 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, calculations of head loss are slightly more complicated because direct comparison of volume flow rates
between the two pipes is not possible. Comparison of volume flow rate can only be done in steps as
illustrated below:
Step 1:
The head loss of one pipeline, usually the steel line, is chosen as a standard for comparison. This is
determined using the Darcy-Weisbach method as discussed before.
HL = f
V2
ID
2g
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 the

Step 2:
From the head loss calculated in Step 1 above, the flow velocity (the only unknown quantity in the
equation for Bondstrand system) can be found by trial and error. A programmable calculator will
speed 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 of
0.00001115 square meters per second is to be unloaded through a 1000-meter long standard
Schedule 40, 8-in. diameter steel pipeline at a rate of 500 cubic meters per hour. How much time can
be saved unloading the same amount of crude through Bondstrand Series 2000M, 8-in. pipeline?

As illustrated in the above example, for the given conditions, Bondstrand Series 2000M 8-in. pipe will
deliver 560 cubic meters per hour, emptying the tank in less than 1.8 hours, a 10% saving in both
unloading time and energy.
It is important to note here that the roughness value of new steel was used. The difference in volume
flow rate would have even been higher had the roughness value of old steel pipe been used in the
calculation.
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 than
carbon steel piping. It is equally important to recognize the energy cost savings which accrue over
the 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 often
be cut in half. For example, let us assume a 6-in. line is to deliver 500 gallons per minute of water on
a year-round basis and determine energy cost per 100 feet. At this flow the average velocity is about
5 feet per second. Over a 10-year service life, a Bondstrand line can be expected to maintain a
Hazen-Williams C factor of 150, whereas for carbon steel the average C factor can be estimated
to 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.
Q
C ID2.63
1 . 852
For a 100 foot run in the example described above, this formula yields 1.28 feet for Bondstrand and
2.65 feet for schedule 40 carbon steel pipe. To overcome this head loss, the horsepower demand
may be calculated as
For Bondstrand:
500 gpm x 8.34 lb of water/gal x 1.28 ft
= .162 hp
33,000 ft-lb/mm/hp
For Steel:
500 gpm x 8.34 lb of water/gal x 2.65 ft
33,000 ft-lb/mm/hp
70
= .335 hp
Then, the energy required for full-time operation for a one month period is:
For Bondstrand:
.162 x 24 hr/day x 30 day/month
= 146 hp-hr/month
.80 efficiency
For Steel:
.335 x 24 hr/day x 30 day/month = 301 hp-hr/month
.80 efficiency
It is impossible to make a generalization on the cost of electricity on board ship which is dependent
on the efficiency of the ships plant; however, if we assume that the ship is connected to shore
power, we could expect to pay approximately 10 cents per kilowatt-hour or 7.5 cents per horsepower-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 substantially
if 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 very
significant and Bondstrand pipe can be used for the life of the vessel while steel pipe probably must
be replaced several times.
In addition to time and energy saving, there are also savings due to purchase and maintenance of
significantly smaller pumps in terms of horsepower rating.

APPENDIX A
USING METALLIC PIPE COUPLINGS TO JOIN BONDSTRAND
Over the years, metallic pipe couplings have proven to be reliable and economical in certain
Bondstrand piping systems. However, when joining Bondstrand, the recommended procedure is
somewhat different than when joining rigid pipe materials such as steel and ductile iron. This bulletin
describes the joining of Bondstrand pipe using Viking Johnson Couplings* along with a brief review
of the couplings design, construction and operating features. Because of the similarity of design, the
same 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 to
meet many pipe joining requirements. Ease in close quarter installation and disassembly allow them
to be used in many areas where other pipe jointing methods would be impractical. The elastomeric
seals in the couplings help absorb movements such as length changes due to temperature or the
flexing 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 elastomeric 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 pipe
wall 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 ring
most commonly used. It is recommended for use on lines carrying gases, air, fresh and salt
water, petroleum products, alkalies, sugar solutions and some refrigerants, and for temperatures from 20 to +100C (-4F to +212F). Other grades such as EPDM E
Polychloroprene V, Polyacrylic A, Fluoroelastomer 0, and Silicone, L, are also
available.

DESCRIPTION
(cont.)
b. Pressure Plating
Maximum pressure ratings of the Viking Johnson Couplings are determined on the basis of
Barlows formula using a working stress equal to twothirds the minimum yield of the center
sleeve 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 accomplished
by changing the type of sealing rings and using different types of protective coatings on the
coupling.
d. Electrical Grounding
On special order, Viking Johnson provides a stud welded connection for grounding the center sleeve to the end flanges. Wires from the end flanges are bolted onto the stud on the
center sleeve, and the connection is bolted down. Connecting the wiring on the center
sleeve 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 expansion and contraction or under vibration conditions, it is preferable to use a locating plug
which centralizes the coupling over the pipe ends. If the coupling is to be slipped back along
the pipe at a later date, the plug can be removed and subsequently refitted. Locating plugs
are mandatory with most approval authorities when couplings are used on board ships. (See
Figure 2).
JOINT FUNCTION
The sealing ring used in the Viking Johnson coupling is not intended to slide. The coupling will
accommodate up to 9.5mm (3/8 in.) longitudinal pipe movement per joint as the rings deform (roll
slightly) in response to such movement.
Important:
Where pipe movement out of the coupling might occur, proper anchorage of the pipe
must be provided.

A.2
Individual couplings must be protected against movements greater than 9.5mm (3/8 in.). Anchorage
must be provided to prevent excessive accumulation of movement, particularly at all points which
produce thrust, including valves, bends, branches and reducers.
LENGTH CHANGES IN BONDSTRAND

Bondstrand pipe lengths change due to both temperature and pressure. Estimate these changes by
referring 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, but
there 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 footpounds 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 length
on site. If so, you will need one or more of the following:
Caution:
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).
Be aware that the standard assembly instructions for these couplings are intended for rigid metallic
pipe materials and MAY DAMAGE THE BONDSTRAND PIPE. Instead, follow this step- by-step procedure:
a. Cutting Pipe to Length

When necessary to cut a pipe to length, measure the desired length and scribe the pipe
using a pipefitters wrap-around. Place the pipe in a vise, using 6mm (1/4 inch) thick rubber
pad to protect pipe from damage. Cut pipe with hacksaw, saber saw or abrasive wheel. Pipe
should be square within 3mm (1/8 in.). Use a disc grinder or file to correct squareness as
required.
b. Sand Cut Ends of Pipe

End surfaces of the plain end pipe should be either hand sanded using a 4050 grit aluminum oxide sanding surface or, if many ends are to be prepared, use a 6mm (1/4 inch) drill
motor, 1700-2000 RPM, and flapper type sander available from NOV FGS. Be sure to remove
all sharp edges by sanding the inside and outside edges of the pipe end. Do not touch the
sanded 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 gasket
and pipe wall. However, the winding techniques used in the manufacture of Bondstrand
fiberglass pipe sometimes produce a somewhat oversized outside diameter. This increase in
diameter sometimes may not permit the Viking Johnson Coupling to slide over the pipe ends
when 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 the
pipe and allow to dry thoroughly. A coating such as Amercoat 90, manufactured by NOV FGS
Protective Coating Division, is suitable for water and other mildly corrosive services.
On special order, NOV FGS can supply full-length Bondstrand pipe for couplings with ends prepared in
accordance with steps b, c, and d.
Note:
e. Lubricate the Joining Surfaces

Clean and lubricate the sealing rings and the outside surface of the pipe with the coupling
manufacturers recommended lubricant. The ring lubricant makes it easier to slip the rings
onto 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 the
center of the joint. The assembly of the coupling to Bondstrand fiberglass pipe should take
place 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 sealing
rings. If the end flanges are not even, loosen the nuts and re-check alignment of pipe. Also
check to make sure that the end flanges are not binding on the pipe wall or the center sleeve
and that there is clearance between the pipe ends.
Caution:
Excess torque can damage pipe. Instructions that accompany Viking Johnson Couplings show general
assembly instructions and specify 70-90 foot-pounds (100-125 N-m) torque. This torque has been
shown 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 in
the same sequence. Bolts previously tightened may have relaxed as subsequent bolts were
tightened.
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 piping
system with water and test to 1-1/2 times the operating pressure for four hours, or as required by the
project specifications.
A.4
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If proper procedures have been followed, no difficulty should be experienced. If troublesome problems 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 the
limits shown on Table 1.
Table 1
Permissible Outside Diameter Limits at Pipe Ends for Metallic Pipe Couplings
Note: Tolerances apply only for a length of 6 inches back from pipe ends
A.5
STRAUB-FLEX COUPLINGS*
Straub-Flex couplings may be used as mechanical joints for Bondstrand pipe much like Dresser-type
couplings. Tests of the Straub design show that the seal is effected without grinding or sanding of
the pipes outer surface. The coupling is suitable for fire, salt water and crude oil lines and various
other services normally provided by Series 1600, 2000. 2000M, 6000 and 7000 piping, either suspended or buried. It may also be used with Series 4000 and 5000 piping in certain slurry applications.
The coupling design, shown in Figure 1, incorporates a stainless steel outer casing split longitudinally
at 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-end
pipe using a torque wrench with a hex bit to tighten two socket-head cap screws. These features
permit 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. Individual
joints 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 thrust
points 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 flexibility, along with the couplings added weight, must be considered in the analysis of deflections and
spans in suspended systems.

Straub-Flex Coupling
Straub. Flex is a trade name of Straub Kupplungen, AG, Wangs, Switzerland and Thornhill, Ontario, Canada.
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 and
316L 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 excellent
resistance to fresh or salt water, clean air, and sewage, and resistant to most moderately
corrosive liquids in a pH range from 2 to 11. This rubber is not recommended for use with
petroleum products.
b. Buna-N (nitrile rubber)-a synthetic rubber for use with oil, gasoline, natural gas and most
petroleum products.
PRESSURE RATING
All types of Straub-Flex couplings shown in Table 1 are rated for at least 150 psi pressure. Contact
the manufacturer for possible lower ratings if stainless steel bolts are specified. Ratings include an
allowance for test pressures up to 50 percent higher than rated pressure according to the manufacturer. Higher pressure ratings are available in all sizes.
The pressure ratings are for continuous service at 180F (82C) with the EPDM gasket, and for continuous services at 160F (71C) with the Buna-N gasket.
OPTIONAL PROTECTION SLEEVE**

Heat-shrinkable thermoplastic sleeves may be used to provide a moisture and soil barrier around the
couplings after joint assembly. An adhesive inside the sleeve seals it against the pipe on the outside
to encapsulate the coupling.
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING
A Straub-Flex coupling may act as a joint insulator. If electrical continuity is required across the pipe
joint for Bondstrand Series 7000 pipe, a separate electrical bonding strip should be placed across
the 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 these
changes by referring to Chapter 2 Design for Expansion and Contraction contained in this manual.
**
Heat-shrinkable sleeves are produced by the Pipe Production Division of Raychem Corp., Redwood City, CA., by
Chemplast, Inc., Wayne, NJ, and outside the U.S. by Canusa Coating Systems, Ltd., Rexdale, Ontario, Canada.
A.7
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
Using Straub-Flex couplings, joining Bondstrand is similar to joining steel pipe, except for sealing cut
pipe ends. Depending on chemical exposure, you may need a suitable coating to cover exposed
glass fibers on the cut ends. It is usually not necessary to sand or shave the outer surface of
Bondstrand pipe as the Straub couplings make a tight seal on the as-wound surface. Exceptions are
given in step c of this procedure.
You may use the standard joining instructions for Straub-Flex couplings as used with steel pipe. You
will 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 protected against chemical attack or abrasion. In slurry applications, the user should be aware that the
joint 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 pipefitters wraparound. Place the pipe in a vise, using 1/4-inch (6mm) thick rubber pad to protect
pipe from damage. Cut pipe with hacksaw, saber saw or abrasive wheel. Pipe end cut
should be square within 1/8-inch (3mm). Use a disc grinder or file to correct squareness as
required.
b. Sand Cut Ends of Pipe

End surfaces of cut pipe should be sanded either by hand using a 40-50 grit aluminum oxide
sanding surface or using a 1/4-in. (6mm) drill motor 1700-2000 RPM with a flapper-type
sander available from NOV FGS. Be sure to remove all sharp edges by sanding the inside and
outside edges of the pipe end. Do not touch the sanded surface with bare hands or articles
that leave an oily film.
c. Prepare Gasket Sealing Surfaces

Machining the gasket sealing surfaces at the ends of Bondstrand pipe is not generally
required for a tight seal between the gasket and pipe wall. However, two-inch (50mm) pipe
will require shaving of the ends, since its average outside diameter of 2.42 in. (61.5mm) is
larger 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 ends
be no greater than 0.12 in. (3mm), to avoid distortion of the coupling and damage to the cap screws
while joining. Using a diameter tape, measure the outside diameters of pipe ends to ensure that this
difference is not exceeded. If the difference is larger than permissible, milling or shaving of the larger
end 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 mate
to 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 cut
ends and shaved gasket sealing surfaces of the pipe and allow to dry thoroughly. A coating
covers
exposed 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 prepared 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 half
the coupling width. Joining of the pipe should be done with the pipe supported in its final
installation position.
Couplings are supplied loosely assembled. Slide the coupling onto the end of one pipe up to the
chalks mark. Align the second pipe end and slide it into the coupling, using care not to bump or
damage the pipe ends. Center the coupling over the two pipe ends, leaving a small clearance
between 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 cap
screws 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 appurtenances 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 specifications.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If proper procedures have been followed, no difficulty should be experienced. If a joint leaks, try the
following:
1.
Disassemble the leaky coupling and an adjacent coupling and remove a pipe section for
examinaton 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 rough
surface or grooves, sand the pipe end surfaces and reinstall the pipe.
A.9

Application Data for Straub-Flex Couplings

1.
Article number gives OD range of coupling in millimetres.
2.
8 and 10 in. (200-250 mm) sizes must be ordered with special casing thickness because the standard coupling only provides (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 B
GROUNDING OF SERIES 7000M PIPING
Electrical charges generated within flowing fluids with low conductivity such as liquid hydrocarbon
fuels can cause hazardous static charges to build up on the surfaces of the pipe. To overcome this
problem and still offer the advantages inherent in RTB piping, NOV FGS has developed special piping
systems-Bondstrand Series 7000 and 7000M. These piping systems provide electrical continuity
throughout by incorporating conductive elements into the structural wall of the pipe, flanges and the
interior surface of the fittings, and through the use of a specially formulated adhesive which provides
the conductivity required at the bonded joints.
Proper installation and grounding is important for the safe operation of Series 7000 and 7000M pipe
when carrying these charge-generating fluids. This bulletin explains how these products are to be
installed, grounded and checked to verify their electrical continuity.
ASSEMBLY OF PIPE
All Series 7000 and 7000M piping are assembled using electrically conductive Bondstrand PSXTM-60
adhesive. This special two-component epoxy adhesive is supplied in kit form. Detailed application
instructions 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 the
pipe, determine where the grounding saddle will be located. Using a flapper sander, sand until the
surface gloss is removed from at least a 3-in. width around the pipe circumference as needed to fit
the saddle on the area selected. This exposes the conductive elements in the pipe wall and produces
a 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 conductive elements exposed by sanding pipe surface. If measured resistance exceeds 106 ohms, more
sanding is required.
If measured resistance is below 106 ohms, bond the grounding saddle onto the clean, dry surface
within 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 otherwise
connected directly to the ship or other grounding structure. Metallic mechanical joints such as
Dresser or Straub must be grounded. If mechanical joints are used, at least one grounding saddle will
be 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 be
checked for electrical continuity. Sand lightly around the pipe surface at each end of the
spool where the steel hose clamps will attach. Mount the two steel hose clamps over the
prepared surface and measure the resistance between them as shown on Figure 1.
Fig. 1
Electrical Continuity Check Diagram for Non-flanged Prefabricate Spools
b. Flanged Prefabricated Spools.

Flange assemblies should be checked by placing a bolt with washer and nut through each of
the flanges and tightening, then measuring the resistance between the flanges at each end
of the assembly as shown on Figure 2.
Fig. 2
B.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 the
flanged end and the procedure established in a. above for the plain end as shown in Figure 3.
Fig. 3
Electrical Continuity Check Diagram for Flanged One End Only
Apply sufficient voltage between the hose clamps to measure the electrical resistance in the spool
using a standard generatortype insulation tester* capable of applying up to 1,500 volts dc. The
measured resistance should not exceed 106 ohms.
Onboard Check During New Construction.

Piping should be checked electrically as installation proceeds onboard ship. After mounting a
grounding saddle (A) as shown on Figure 4, the length of piping from the grounding saddle to the
end 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 the
resistance 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 Figure
1. As before, the measured resistance must not exceed 106 ohms between any two grounding supports.
After the electrical continuity of the piping has been verified, the non-conducting rubber pads at the
grounding supports should be removed. Proceed to bond the pipe into the remaining grounding saddle.
* NOV FGS recommends the use of a Megger Mark IV Insulation Tester, Cat. No. 211805, James G. Biddle Co., or equal.
B.3
Onboard Check During Drydock for Maintenance and Repair

Fiberglass piping systems using Series 7000 and 7000M pipe and fittings should be checked during
each drydock inspection while the tanks are gas freed to ensure that the systems are still properly
grounded. 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 be
disconnected and the pipe electrically isolated from the structure of the ship shown on
Figure 4. Tightly fasten two steel hose clamps at opposite ends of the pipe spool being tested and measure the resistance between them using a standard generatortype insulation
tester capable of applying 1,500 volts dc. The resistance should not exceed 106 ohms. Now
attach one of the grounding cables to the structure of the ship and in like fashion check the
resistance 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 at
a time should be connected to the ships structure during the test.
b. Grounded Piping
If it is impossible to electrically isolate the system, each section of pipe must be checked
separately. This may be done by placing a steel hose clamp on each section of pipe (defined
as a length between bonded joints) and measuring the resistance between it and the nearest
grounding location as described above.

APPENDIX C
SIZING OF SHIPBOARD PIPING
Shipyards and design agencies have used various methods to evaluate and select velocities for each
application. These methods have yielded acceptable sizes, pressure drops and efficiency losses and
have 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 and
flow in gallons per minute for Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) 1 to 36 with Iron Pipe Size (IPS) and Metric
Cast Iron (MCI) internal diameters.
For Bondstrand fiberglass piping systems a maximum allowable velocity of 15 ft./sec. has been
established. This is to prevent erosion which might occur at higher fluid velocities. Table 1 shows
inside diameter factors

For NPS 1 to 36 IPS and MCI internal diameter configurations. Table 2 shows fourteen inside diameter functions for different shipboard piping systems.
Applying the IDF (inside diameter function) for a given piping system, maximum velocity value for different 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 in
a feed discharge system.

D2. Rated Pressures, Volumes and Weights of Pipe
Note:
1) System internal operating pressures may be limited by mechanical joints, fittings or anchoring requirements to
values below the rating of the pipe itself.
2) Pipe design resists collapse due to combined internal suction head and external fluid pressure. For example, a
63-psi (4.3-bar) external pressure rating allows for 120 ft (37 m) of water plus a 75% (suction head) with a
safety factor of 2 to minimum ultimate collapse pressure
D.2
APPENDIX E
PIPING SUPPORT FOR NON-RESTRAINED MECHANICAL JOINTS
This bulletin offers suggestions for supporting and anchoring Bondstrand piping systems joined with
bolted coupling mechanical joints which do not offer axial restraint. These bolted couplings are the
standard designs offered by Dresser, Viking- Johnson, Rockwell, Straub, R.H. Baker and others
which 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 span
lengths. Also, provisions for anchoring against hydrostatic thrusts must be incorporated into the
design.
Span Recommendations
Recommended maximum spans for Bondstrand pipe joined with bolted couplings can be determined
by use of the following equation:
L = 0.207
Where
EI
w
1/4
L =
support spacing (ft),
EI =
beam stiffness psi (lb-in2), see Tables 43 and 4-4
w =
Total uniformly distributed load (Ib/linear in.),
In metric units:
L = 0.0995
Where
EI
w
1/4
L =
support spacing (in),
EI =
beam stiffness psi (kg-cm2), see Tables 43 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) longitudinal
pipe movement per joint without slippage of the gasket lip on the pipe surface. Individual joints
should be protected against movements greater than 3/8-in. (10mm) to prevent gasket wear as well
as preventing, in severe cases, the pipe from moving out of the coupling. Anchors must be provided
at thrust points such as valves, turns, branches, or reducers, as well as at locations where excessive
movement 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 at
the terminal points of the piping system or where there is a change in direction and should be
designed to withstand thrusts due to internal line pressure.

Support Arrangements
Each Pipe length (L) should be anchored at least once to keep pipe ends from moving out of couplings
or jamming together and abrading.

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
37.8C (100F) 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 100F
(38C) 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 37.8C (100F) and
below 60C (140F).
Class IIIA liquids liquids having flash points at or above 60C (140F) and
below 93C (200F).
Class IIIB liquids liquids having flash points at or above 93C (200F)
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.
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.
CEAC
January 2003
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
CEAC
January 2003
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.
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 nonessential, 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.

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
CEAC
January 2003
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 (NKJapan). 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
CEAC
January 2003
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 nonessential 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.
CEAC
January 2003
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.
CEAC
10
January 2003
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.

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.

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.
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
CEAC
15
January 2003
(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
CEAC
16
January 2003
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

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

The procurement documents should clearly define the level of service desired in each
areas.
of these
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 Owners 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 Owners
inspector should assure that all construction personnel are trained and certified. The Owners
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
CEAC
20
January 2003
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

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.
CEAC
28
January 2003
The following is an example of cash flow summaries that might be assumed for the materials that have been
discussed above.
System 1:
Fiberglass Pipe, 4 diameter (nom), 225 psi pressure rating

Installed cost - $13,706 (Table 5-5)
Maintenance Costs
Flush system every 2 years - $2,000
Exterior coating at year 12 $4,500
Repairs at years 12 & 18 - $5,000 each
System 2:
Carbon Steel, 4 diameter (nom), Schedule 80

Installed cost - $12,747
Maintenance costs
Internal clean & flush every year - $2,000
Replace system at year 7 & 15 $22,000
System 3:
Copper Nickel, 90/10, 4 diameter (nom), Schedule 40

Installed cost - $21,737
Maintenance costs
Internal clean and flush every year - $2,000
Repairs at years 6, 12 & 18 - $6,000 each
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.
