Bondstrand Corrosion Guide

FIBERGLASS PIPE GROUP

Bondstrand Fiberglass Pipe

and Fittings
for industrial, marine, offshore,
and military applications

How to use this guide

Bondstrand pipe and fittings are suitable for the applications listed up to the maximum
recommended temperature. However, due to variations in actual service conditions, this
corrosion guide should be considered only a recommendation and not a guarantee.
Note that combinations of chemical solutions are often far more aggressive than the
individual components. For applications not listed, contact Ameron Applications
Engineering.
For service designated CM, consult manufacturer (Ameron) for possible limitations.
When no concentration is shown, recommendations apply to any concentration to
100% or to saturation.

Service considerations

The recommendations in this guide are based on continuous operating conditions.

Temperature ratings are usually higher for cyclic or occasional exposure. Contact
Ameron Applications Engineering for recommendations concerning systems with:
Cyclic chemical exposure
Temperature and concentration excursions exceeding those listed
Waste streams or solutions containing mixtures of materials listed herein or
containing traces of materials with CM rating
Solutions containing materials not listed herein
Secondary containment piping.
Ameron will also provide complimentary service analysis, piping recommendations and
value engineering.

2000 Series piping

systems

Series 2000 A lined epoxy system using the Quick-Lock joint for continuous
operating temperatures to 250F (121C) generally and to 300F (149C) for selected
substances.
Series 2000M A lined epoxy system for marine and offshore applications with
chemical resistance properties similar to Series 2000, but with greater resistance to
external collapse for in-tank operation under vacuum.
Series 2000M-FP A lined epoxy system with the same service capabilities and
chemical resistance as Series 2000M for marine and offshore fire protection systems;
incorporates an external intumescent coating which greatly enhances the fire resistance
properties of the system.

FP132I (1/01)

2000 Series piping

systems (cont.)

Series 2000MP A lined epoxy system rated to 250F (121C) and 125 psig (8.5 bar)
meeting MIL-P-28584B requirements for steam condensate, hot water, district heating
and similar piping applications with chemical resistance properties similar to
Series 2000.
Fittings Filament-wound epoxy.
Adhesives Type 34 for most applications; Type 6 for foodstuffs.

Key-Lock (K/L) joined

piping systems

Series 2400 A lined epoxy system for operating temperatures to 200F (93C) when
employing the Key-Lock mechanical joint or 250F (121C) when using a taper/taper
adhesive-bonded joint. See Series 2000 for corrosion resistance properties.
Series 3400 An unlined epoxy system with joining identical to those of Series 2400.
Also available in a lined variant upon request. Consult Ameron for specific corrosion
resistance properties.

3000(A) Series piping

systems

Series 3000A A lined epoxy system for operating temperatures to 210F (99C).
Designed for water/wastewater applications requiring less wall thickness or less
temperature resistance than Series 2000.
Series 3200 A lined epoxy system designed to meet Underwriters Laboratories
requirements for underground fire protection systems. All Series 3200 pipe and fittings
are rated to 200 psig at 150F (14 bar at 66C). Contact Ameron for recommendations
regarding corrosion resistance.
Series 3300 A lined epoxy system rated to temperatures to 150F (66C) and
pressures to 300 psig (21 bar) in 8 through 12-inch sizes. Corrosion resistance
properties of Series 3300 are identical to those of Series 3200.
Fittings Molded epoxy (2 to 6 inches); filament-wound epoxy (8 to 16 inches).
Adhesive Type 34

4000 Series piping

systems

Series 4000 A lined epoxy system similar to Series 2000 in temperature capabilities,
but with a thicker liner for even greater corrosion and erosion resistance.
Fittings Filament-wound epoxy.
Adhesives Type 34 for most applications; Type 6 for foodstuffs.

5000 Series piping

systems

Series 5000 A vinyl ester system for severely corrosive services at temperatures to
200F (93C).
Fittings Filament-wound or molded vinyl ester.
Adhesives Type 105

7000 Series piping

systems

Series 7000 An unlined epoxy system incorporating high-strength conductive

carbon filaments in the wall of pipe and fittings that, when properly installed and
grounded, prevent the accumulation of static electrical charges. Joined using either
the Quick-Lock adhesive joint or flanges.
Series 7000M A marine variant of Series 7000 with resistance to external collapse
similar to that of Series 2000M. Series 7000M is widely used on vessels transporting
refined petroleum products.
Fittings Filament-wound epoxy with electrically conductive filament reinforcement.
Adhesive Type 60
