RTRP/FRP STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
1.0 SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers requirements for
machine made reinforced thermosetting resin
pipe and fittings, 1" - 30", manufactured
according to ASTM D-2996, the standard
specification for filament wound pipe. These
specifications shall cover Schedule 50,
40/80, and Schedule 30 pressure and
process pipe and fittings for use with a broad
base of corrosive chemical environments
including acids, caustics, various waste
solutions, brines and a wide range of
solvents. Fire retardant and abrasion
resistant systems are available. Both the
Epoxy and Vinyl Ester systems meet the
requirements for FDA. All pipe and fittings
(tees, elbows, laterals, reducers, and
crosses) shall be manufactured with a double
Nexus (synthetic veil) reinforced Epoxy, Vinyl
Ester, or Furan internal corrosion barrier (per
specific fluid service needs), an Epoxy
filament wound fiberglass reinforced cage,
and a standard Nexus reinforced external
corrosion/UV resistant barrier, with a
standard 25 year guarantee against UV
degradation.
2.0 MATERIAL
2.1 Raw materials will meet or exceed
specifications for Epoxy, Vinyl Ester, and
Furan resin systems and fiberglass materials.
2.2 The resin, reinforcement, pigments, fillers
and other materials, when combined as a
composite structure shall produce a pipe that
shall meet or exceed the requirements of the
classification system listed in ASTM D-2310.
3.0 PIPE CONSTRUCTION
3.1 The pipe shall consist of three specific
layers; the corrosion resistant internal
corrosion barrier, the filament wound
reinforcement (cage) using aromatic amine
cured Epoxy, and the corrosion/UV resistant
external corrosion barrier. This material shall
then be post-cured for 5 hours at 250F to
form an integral structure.
3.1a The internal corrosion barrier (inner
liner) shall consist of minimum double
synthetic veil saturated with the following
resin options: Epoxy resin (Shell 828, Ciba
6010, D.E.R.331), Vinyl Ester resin
(Derakane 441-400, 470, 8084, 510 Series,
Hetron 942, 980, or 970), or Furan resin
(QuaCorr or Hetron). Liner thickness shall be
100-mils in Schedule 50 pipe and fittings, 60-
mils minimum in Schedule 40/80 pipe,
fittings, valves, and strainers, and 60-mils in
Schedule 30 pipe and fittings. Resin
selection will be based upon the resin best
suited for the chemical, mechanical and
temperature requirements of the service
application. This layer shall be a maximum
of 90% resin and 10% reinforcement to
increase impact resistance.
3.1b The glass reinforcement, or cage, shall
be continuous glass roving wound at an
angle 54 3/4 degrees to the longitudinal axis
of the pipe, using aromatic amine cured
premium Epoxy resin, and shall be not less
than 65% glass for maximum strength and
flexibility. Reinforced wall thickness shall
meet Conley Published Schedule
Specifications.
3.1c The synthetic veil reinforced external
corrosion barrier shall be of the same
construction as the inner liner for corrosion
resistance, for UV resistance, and to control
the O.D. of the pipe. This is required for
straight socket design connections.
4.0 PIPE FITTINGS
4.1 All fittings such as elbows, laterals, tees
and reducers shall be equal or superior in
strength to the adjacent pipe section and
shall have the same internal diameter as the
pipe. Fittings shall be filament wound, and
have the same three layer construction as
the pipe, i.e., synthetic veil reinforced internal
corrosion resistant barrier, filament wound
and glass reinforced structural cage, and a
synthetic veil reinforced external corrosion
barrier with standard UV light inhibitors to
provide our 25 year guarantee against UV
degradation of fiber-blooming. Fittings shall
meet the appropriate Conley Schedule 50,
40/80, and 30 published manufacturing
standards.
4.2 Elbow Fittings shall be manufactured in
standard configurations with straight socket
ends designed for the controlled O.D. of the
pipe.
4.3 Reducing Fittings shall be manufactured
as concentric and eccentric gradual changes
in diameter to minimally affect the fluid flow,
and with straight socket ends.
5.0 CONNECTIONS
5.1 Prefabrication -When requested by the
customer, the manufacturer shall prefabricate
into shippable sub-assemblies to minimize
the use of field-fabricated connections.
5.2 Straight Cement Socket joints - Shall be
used with both pipe to fitting connections as
well as pipe to pipe connections using a
coupling. Tapering or machining of the pipe
shall not be allowed.
5.3 Flange connections - Shall be used to
join the fiberglass pipe and fittings to other
equipment. Flanges shall be designed for the
operating pressure per the line requirements
as a minimum. Flange dimensions shall
conform to ANSI B 16.5 150 lb. drilling.
Where flanges connect to raised face
surfaces (valves, etc.), a spacer ring shall be
added to achieve a flat mating surface.
5.4 Gasket material - For flanged
connections this shall be an elastomer which
is compatible with the service. Gasket
material shall be 1/8 inch thick with a
hardness of 50 to 70 durometer on the Shore
A scale.
6.0 STRAIGHT SOCKET CEMENT
FITTINGS
6.1 This type of joint shall be the only means
of joining pipe to pipe and fittings. Tapering
or machining of the pipe shall not be allowed,
nor shall butt joints. Pipe to pipe connections
shall be made with straight socket cement
couplings. The only exception to this
specification shall be flanged connections as
described in 5.3, and butt wrap or coupled in
24 and 30.
7.0 FLANGES
7.1 Flange Attachment - Flanges shall be
attached to a pipe section only with straight
socket cement joints.
7.2 Flange Face - Flanges through 12"
diameter shall be grooved to allow use of an
'0' ring or a flat gasket, flanges larger than
12" shall be flat face or grooved.
8.0 PRESSURE AND VACUUM SERVICE
8.1 For Schedule 40 listed below. Please
consult Conley Engineering Standards for
Schedules 50 and 30. In sizes 1-in through
16-in the Schedule 40/80 piping system
(pipe, fittings, and flanges) shall have an
internal pressure rating of 150 psi, 100 psi
through 30-in. Schedule 40/80 systems have
a Full Vacuum rating through 14-in, and the
following rating by size:
16-in 11.5 psi 24-in 6.1 psi
18-in 8.2 psi 30-in 4.9 psi
20-in 6.1 psi
Note: 1. These vacuum ratings are based on
full 20-ft joints. For shorter lengths of straight
pipe the vacuum capability increases. 2.
These ratings are allowables, based on a
three to one Safety Factor. Ultimate vacuum
capabilities are at least 3 times these values.
9.0 RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION
PRACTICE
9.1 Pipe hangers and spacing - Hangers
shall be band type hangers contacting a
minimum of 120 degrees of the pipe surface,
and with a minimum width of 1" or pipe

Conley Non-Burning Piping Systems
RTRP/FRP STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
with FIRE PROTECTIVE COATING
The Conley Answer to Disastrous Plant Fires
1.0 SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers requirements for
machine made reinforced thermosetting resin pipe
and fittings, 1" - 30", manufactured according to
ASTM D-2996, the standard specification for
filament wound pipe. These specifications shall
cover Schedule 95 (Sch50), Schedule 94 (Sch40),
and Schedule 93 (Sch30) process pipe and fittings
with 90M Series non-burning exterior for use with a
broad base of corrosive chemical environments
including chemical sewers, acids, caustics, and a
wide range of solvents. All pipe and fittings shall be
manufactured in accordance with standard Conley
Schedule 50, 40, and 30 Specifications: minimum
double synthetic veil reinforced internal corrosion
barrier manufactured with Epoxy, Vinyl Ester, or
furan resins; the structural wall or cage shall be
aromatic amine cured Epoxy resin; the external
corrosion barrier shall be synthetic veil reinforced,
UV resistant and fire resistant or Non-Burning. The
Fire retardant property of Derakane 510 Series
Vinyl Ester resins, or QuaCorr 1200FR Furan resin
when used in the inner liner, combined with the
non-burning exterior provide optimum performance
for use in such applications as FRP fire deluge
piping, where there is a possibility of contact with
burning fluids.
Please note: In order for the pipe and fittings
structural wall and exterior to be certified in
accordance with IMO A.753(18) by DNV (Det
Norske Veritas) and ABS (American Bureau of
Shipping), it requires a full vacuum structural wall
for Marine and Off-Shore use. Conley has applied
the Non-Burning technology to standard piping
systems as a answer to disastrous plant fires. The
Conley Schedule 95, 94, and 93 Series is
designated for use in the Chemical Processing
Industry where the extra heavy duty structural wall
is not required, but the 90M Non-Burning exterior
would provide essential protection for plant
personnel, costly equipment, and environmental
quality.
