THE COST-EFFECTIVE
ALTERNATIVE
Durable and corrosion resistant
INDUSTRY
Ameron GRE piping is inert to internal

corrosion from chemicals, crude oil,
residues, injection water and bacteria.
Similarly it resists exterior corrosion even
in aggressive environments. Cathodic
protection is not required.
Lightweight easy to install
OIL AND GAS
GRE pipe systems, being just a quarter to

an eighth the weight of comparable steel
pipe, are easy to install without the need
of heavy equipment.
Reduced costs
The installation cost of GRE pipe systems
are typically 80% of the costs of carbon
steel. The corrosion resistance and
resistance to UV light reduce the
maintenance costs for both aboveground and buried pipelines. The smooth
internal surface reduces the head loss
resulting in lower pump energy
consumption.

typical life of the vessel, metal pipe
will need replacement two or three
times. Bondstrand GRE pipe
systems can last the life of a vessel.
Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy (GRE)
is highly resistant to both internal
and external corrosion without
surface preparation or special
coatings.
Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy (GRE)

pipe can be installed for less of the
cost than Schedule 80 Carbon Steel
piping systems. The adhesive
joining system eliminates the need
for certified welders, or special
welding techniques. The light
weight of the pipe also eliminates
the need of expensive lifting
equipment.
Bondstrand can be installed much

faster than steel or alloy systems.

The Ameron Fiberglass-Composite Pipe Group has

worldwide engineering services available, which are
performed by professional, experienced and qualified
personnel using internationally accepted analysis
methods. Main activities of our engineering services
include:
PREFAB
Bondstrand GRE systems are assembled using standard components.
This enables the yard, or (subcontracted) installer to make prefab
spools at the yard, eliminating the need for adhesive-bonded joining
on board. Major advantage is, that by using standard fittings and
avoiding lamination, adjustments can be made on-site, if required.
Once the installer is trained and certified by Ameron according to
IMO standards, they can handle the complete installation.
Amerons scope of supply may vary from material supply to complete
turn-key projects.
Ameron can be of assistance every step of the way, based on
individual customer requirements.

The Bondstrand 7000M conductive piping system has been developed to

prevent accumulation of potentially dangerous levels of static electrical
charges. Pipe and flanges contain high strength conductive filaments;
fittings include a conductive liner. Together with a conductive adhesive this
provides an electrically continuous system. If required, grounding saddles
may be installed on the pipe once the piping system is installed. Integral
grounding cables are then bolted to the ships structure to drain
accumulated charges.

The advantages of Bondstrand
Corrosion resistant
Bondstrand provides long service life in the harsh marine environment. During
the typical life of a vessel, metal pipe will need replacement two or three
times. Fiberglass is highly resistant to both internal and external corrosion.
Cost effective
Fiberglass pipe can be installed for less than the cost of schedule 80 carbon
steel. The adhesive joining system eliminates the need for certified welders or
special welding techniques. The light weight of the pipe also eliminates the
expense of heavy lifting equipment. Since Bondstrand will not corrode, there is
no expense for frequent replacement.
Safety
Bondstrand uses an adhesive joining process which requires no torch or arc
welding equipment. The danger from fire or explosion is reduced.
Lightweight, Easy installation

Fiberglass pipe is one-eighth the weight of steel pipe. Bondstrand can install
easily in drydock or at sea. The pipe does not require heavy lifting equipment.
The no-weld installation reduces the installation time: Bondstrand can be
installed in about two-thirds of the time of a steel or alloy system. Should
damage occur, the pipe is easy to repair.
Maintenance-free
Corrosion resistant Bondstrand does not require any special coatings to withstand the marine environment. If desired, however, the pipe may be coated for
cosmetic or identification purposes with the appropriate Ameron coating.
Quality assurance
Bondstrand pipe and fittings are a fiberglass reinforced resin material which is
filament wound for strength and durability. Pipe and fittings are routinely
tested at 150% of operating pressure to meet manufacturer's and approval
societies' requirements. Ameron is ISO 9001 certified.
Worldwide Technical Support

Ameron engineering services are available from planning to installation. Our
applications engineering staff can offer assistance from recommendations
through engineering design services. Field technicians can provide installation
training and advice upon request.

BONDSTRAND GLASSFIBER REINFORCED EPOXY AND PHENOLIC PIPE

WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS
SYSTEMS FOR MARINE APPLICATIONS
Metal piping has to be replaced two or

three times during the average life of a
vessel, thereby costing two or three times
that of the original investment. When
labour costs, downtime and the
maintenance costs are added to this, the
total could easily be more than six times
the original investment.
Bondstrand reinforced resin piping
systems from Ameron can last the life of a
vessel. They are especially designed for
shipboard service using highly corrosion
resistant epoxy. The pipes are reinforced
throughout with tough glassfiber strands
creating a lightweight, strong, corrosionresistant pipe that meets most standards
for shipboard systems.
COST SAVINGS
Bondstrand marine pipe has corrosion

resistance comparable to copper-nickel
and more exotic alloys but its installed
cost is competitive with carbon steel.
Two men can lift, carry, cut to size and join
these light weight pipes in just a fraction
of the man-hours required to join steel
pipe. Installation costs can be reduced by
30 to 40 percent compared to traditional
steel pipe.
Bondstrand marine pipes are easy to
install, maintenance personnel can be
quickly trained to cut and complete a
joint. Proper installation procedures are
described in Ameron literature and
Ameron field technicians are available if
required.
PRESSURE TESTED DURING MANUFACTURE
Bondstrand marine pipe and fittings are

manufactured by the filament winding
process and routinely tested at 150% of
the operating pressure to meet
manufacturers and society testing
requirements. Both internal and external
pressure ratings are established especially
for shipboard environments and loadings.
SAFER FOR SHIPBOARD USE
Bondstrand marine piping is joined using

adhesives, flanges, or mechanical
couplings, so the danger of fire or
explosions caused by torches and arc
welding is eliminated.
Bondstrand is available in three series for a wide

variety of demanding shipboard applications.

External pressure rating
Collapse pressure calculations are based on minimum wall thicknesses ( 8712% of

nominal wall thickness) and assume no contribution of strength by the liner.
Maximum head calculations assume a 3:1 safety factor and 75% vacuum inside the
pipe. For full vacuum conditions, subtract an additional 8.5 feet (2.6 m) from the
tabulated values.

Bondstrand guide specification

Pipe construction
The structural wall of fiberglass pipe in 1 through 40-inch sizes shall have continuous
glass fibers wound at a 5434 helical angle in a matrix of aromatic amine cured epoxy
resin. The integral reinforced resin-rich liner shall consist of C-glass and a
resin/hardener system identical to that of the structural wall, and shall have a 20-mil
nominal thickness. Non-reinforced pure resin-type corrosion barriers (liners) shall not
be allowed due to their potential for severe fracturing during transportation, installation
and operation of the pipe.
Pipe in 1 through 40-inch sizes shall be rated for a minimum of 150 psig at 200F and
shall have a full vacuum capability with a safety factor of 3:1.
Pipe shall be manufactured according to ASTM D2996 Specification for filamentwound reinforced thermosetting resin pipe (RTRP). When classified under ASTM
D2310, the pipe shall meet Type 1, Grade 1 and Class F (RTRP-11FE) cell limits.
Pipe and fittings shall meet the requirements of ASTM F1173 for fiberglass-reinforced
epoxy pipe and fittings for shipboard applications.
Filament-wound epoxy fiberglass pipe shall be translucent to allow for inspection of
damage.
Fittings construction
Fittings in 1 through 40-inch sizes shall be filament wound with a reinforced resin-rich
liner of equal or greater thickness than the pipe liner and of the same glass and resin
type as the pipe. Unlined fittings shall not be substituted.
When classified in accordance with ASTM D4024, filament-wound epoxy-resin flanges
shall meet or surpass Type 1, Grade 1 and Class C (RTRF-113D or 113E) standards.
Compression-molding, contact-molding, spray-up or hand-layup construction shall
not be allowed in standard fittings.
Pipe and fittings in 1 through 16-inch sizes shall be joined using a bell x straight spigot
joint with a 0.5 taper and pipe stop inside the bell to allow precise makeup. Pipe in
18 through 40-inch sizes shall be furnished with plain ends or with bell x plain end.
Workmanship
The pipe and fittings shall be free from all defects, including delaminations, indentations, pinholes, foreign inclusions, bubbles and resin-starved areas which, due to their
nature, degree or extent, detrimentally affect the strength and serviceability of the pipe
or fittings. The pipe and fittings shall be as uniform as commercially practicable in color,
density and other physical properties.
Testing
Samples of pipe and couplings shall be tested at random, based on standard quality
control practices to determine conformance of the materials to American Society for
Testing and Materials guidelines for testing fiberglass pipe products: ASTM D1599,
D2105, D2992A or D2992B.
All fittings shall be 100% tested prior to shipping.
Test samples may be hydrostatically tested by the manufacturer to 1.5 times the
pressure rating for signs of leakage.
Technical support
Consult Ameron for further recommendations concerning the shipboard or offshore

use of Bondstrand pipe system. For particular questions regarding the installation and
use of Bondstrand Series 7000M antistatic pipe and fittings, refer to the Ameron Marine
Engineering Manual.

Performance
Bondstrand Series 7000M fiberglass pipe, fittings and flanges incorporate highstrength conductive filaments (U.S. Patent No. 4,330,811) to prevent accumulation of
potentially dangerous levels of static electrical charges by the flow of liquids such as
refined petroleum products. Series 7000M piping systems are made electrically
conductive by using a conductive Ameron adhesive (U.S. Patent No. 4,874,548) in the
adhesive-bonded joint and for mounting flanges. Accumulated charges are harmlessly
drained from the fiberglass pipe system into the metallic structure of the ship by means
of stainless steel cables embedded in fiberglass grounding saddles. The saddles are
adhesive bonded in the field by the installer to the external wall of the pipe.
Series 7000M fiberglass piping meets all applicable requirements of ASTM F1173.
Pipe and fittings are available for continuous operating pressures of 150 psi (10 bar) or
225 psi (16 bar) at 200F. Minimum collapse pressure of pipe and fittings is not less than
125 psi at 200F (8.6 bar at 93C) to withstand external pressure at bottom of filled
cargo or ballast tanks under full vacuum.
Pipe lengths
Bondstrand marine pipe is produced in different lengths depending on pipe diameter

and the location of manufacture. Pipe can be cut to specified lengths at the factory.

Introducing Bondstrand PSX polysiloxanephenolic piping systems for offshore service
merons Bondstrand PSX is a revolutionary breakthrough in offshore piping technology.

Using Amerons exclusive, patented PSX polysiloxane resin in conjunction with phenolic
resins, Ameron scientists have created a new class of non-metallic piping that offers these
unprecedented benefits:

Low smoke emission and low toxicity
impact resistance
fter extensive research, Ameron Fiberglass Pipe Group has

developed a revolutionary new, fire-resistant technology
for producing fire water systems in marine and offshore
environments.
Bondstrand PSX pipe has passed stringent tests to ensure
that the piping system will not only survive a fire, but deliver
pressurised water where it is needed at the critical moment.
Bondstrand PSX employs a patented polysiloxane-phenolic
resin system developed by Ameron rather than the epoxy resin
used in conventional fiberglass pipe systems. The PSX resin
imparts superior fire resistance to the pipe as well as providing
outstanding flexibility and impact resistance.
PSX is a siloxane-modified phenolic product. The
modification takes advantage of the strengths of phenolics
high-temperature resistance, low smoke and toxicity emission
and dimensional stability - while overcoming the negative
properties associated with phenolics. Severe limitations of
conventional phenolics, such as poor adhesion for bonded
joints and limited pressure and impact resistance due to
brittleness have previously restricted their use in piping
systems.
The unique construction of Bondstrand PSXJF reduces wall

stresses caused by the steep thermal gradient across the pipe
and fittings wall during fire exposure. Alternating layers of
thermoplastic tape and filament-wound polysiloxanephenolic allow the outer jacket to expand during exposure to
extreme heat.
The tape acts as a consumable material that vaporises to
absorb energy and provide a release layer. This release layer
also creates an air gap between the reinforced layers that
serves as insulation and as a radiation shield.
The glass-reinforced polysiloxane-phenolic outer layer seals
the protective jacket against erosion by direct impingement of
high-velocity jet fire.
Improved impact resistance

Phenolics are inherently brittle, resulting in poor impact
resistance. By adding the siloxane to the phenolic, Ameron has
developed a unique resin technology that produces excellent
impact resistance in both Bondstrand PSXL3 and Bondstrand
PSXJF. Both products have impact resistance comparable to
that of epoxy pipe.
Low smoke and toxicity

Bondstrand PSX benefits from the low smoke and toxicity
emission properties of phenolics. In optical density tests,
phenolics generate far less smoke and toxicity than polyester
or epoxy pipe, demonstrating a significant safety advantage
for personnel should a fire occur.

In IMO Level 3 fire tests, Bondstrand PSXL3 displayed

excellent resistance to elevated temperatures. During the tests,
2- and 6-inch (50-150 mm) pipe withstood temperatures in
excess of 1000C. At temperatures over 800C, Bondstrand
PSXL3 exhibits improved heat resistance over conventional
phenolic products.

Jet Fire Test

Bondstrand PSXJF pipe passed the rigorous requirements of
jet fire testing in accordance with UKOOA guidelines. With an
intumescent coating, epoxy pipe can withstand fire exposure.
However, Bondstrand PSXJF passed the test without
employing any intumescent coating on the pipe wall, fittings
or joints. Bondstrand PSXJF eliminates the need for an
intumescent coating and the cost of maintaining it in the
aggressive marine environment.

Composite material properties for Bondstrand PSXL3

The table below summarises typical composite material
properties for Bondstrand PSX piping
Improved adhesion for bonded joints

The siloxane modification of the phenolic overcomes the lack
of adhesion of standard phenolic resins. Ameron has
developed special adhesives, PSX20 and PSX 20S, using the
PSX technology. The superior bonding properties of PSX 20
are significantly better than those of standard epoxy. In both
the IMO Level 3 and Jet Fire tests, PSX 20 provided a secure
bond between pipe and components without the use of any
intumescent coatings on the adhesive joints.

Description
Approvals
Bondstrand PSXJF and PSXL3 fiberglass reinforced polysiloxane-phenolic piping

systems may be used for offshore platforms and onshore services where fire-resistant
piping with low smoke emissions and low toxicity are required. Bondstrand PSXJF and
PSXL3 products are designed for use in dry and wet deluge systems where low weight,
corrosion resistance and fire-resistance are desired. The polysiloxane-phenolic (PSX)
resin is a revolutionary technological breakthrough developed through extensive research
and testing by Ameron. The product is designed to withstand hydrocarbon fire including
jet fire at over 300 KW/m2 heat flux from 0.3 kg/sec., high velocity impinging propane
flame. Low smoke and toxicity emission, and low flame spread make it suitable for use in
enclosed space and critical service areas.

Performance
PSXJF pipe has proved capable of maintaining rated service pressure with no leak after
exposure to impinging jet fire for a period of 5 minutes with the pipe empty, followed by
injection of water at 150 psi (10 bar) and a flow rate of less than 73 liters/minute for an
additional 15 minutes. After the heat was removed, the piping was pressurized for an
additional 60 minutes at 150 psi (10 bar), then 60 minutes at 225 psi (15 bar), followed by 5
minutes at 350 psi (24 bar). No passive fire protection is needed on the joints.
ISO-9001
PSXL3 pipe is capable of maintaining rated service pressure after 30 minutes stagnant
wet exposure to 1100C fire and 113.5 kW/m2 heat flux. PSXL3 pipe and fittings meet
IMO Level 3 fire test requirements even with the smallest diameter (1") pipe and QuickLock joint with no passive fire protection needed on the joint.
Pipe and fittings are designed to operate at up to 225 psi system pressure.

For continuous span use of above values: plus 20%

For simple span use of above values: minus 20%
Span recommendations are based on pipes filled with water with a specific gravity of 1000kg/m3 and
include no provision for weights caused by valves, flanges or other heavy objects.
Span recommedations are calculated for a maximum long time deflection of 13 mm to ensure good
appearance and adequate drainage.

Notes:
1)
Bold insertion depth for subsequent flanges deviates from other fittings.
2)
The weights shown are for ANSI B16.5 Class 150 drilled flanges. Weights for other
drilling classes may be different. For more detailed information reference is made to
the appropriate product data.
*
**
***
Heavy Duty Flanges are standard available in drillings according to ANSI and ISO (DIN).
Full-face elastomeric gaskets may be used, suitable for the service pressure, service
temperature and fluid. Shore A durometer hardness of 60 5 is recommended and a
thickness of 3 mm.
Compressed fibre gaskets, 3 mm thick, compatible with the pressure, temperature
and medium, may also be used. The mechanical properties should be in accordance
with DIN 3754 (IT 400) or equal.
For maximum bolt torque refer to the appropriate Bondstrand literature. Please be
aware that excessive torque may result in flange failure and, therefore a torquewrench is required.

****
Stub-End Flange Rings are standard available in drillings according to ANSI and ISO
(DIN).
Stub-End Flanges are available with and without O-ring groove in the face.
Up to 10 bar stub-ends without grooves can be used with flat elastomeric or
compressed fibre gaskets.
For pressures 12 bar and above suitable O-ring seals should be used, available on
request.
Make sure that the O-ring grooved stub-end is compatible with its counter flange,
e.g. use a stub-end without groove or another flat surface flange as counter flange.
Maximum bolt-torque for use with O-rings seals may be calculated based on
pressure, size and number of bolts. If using flat face gaskets (maximum pressure 10
bar) refer to the appropriate Bondstrand literature for hubbed flanges.

Description
General
Bondstrand Quick-Lock Fittings for use with Bondstrand Pipe Series 2000, 2000G, 4000,
6000FM, 7000, 2000M and 7000M pipe are glassfiber reinforced epoxy pipe fittings in
diameters of 25 - 400 mm (1-16 inch), designed for civil-, general industrial-, offshoreand marine-applications.
Pressure range for standard Quick-Lock fittings is 20 bar for sizes 25-100 mm (1-4 inch)
and 16 bar for sizes 125 - 400 mm (5-16 inch).
For other fittings and ancillaries, maximum internal pressures are shown in the respective
tables.
Standard fittings are with the integral Quick-Lock adhesive bonding socket ends for close
tolerance fitting. A two-component epoxy based Bondstrand adhesive is used for bonding.
For corrosion resistance, see Bondstrand Corrosion Guide (FP 132).

Note:
* Stub-end-flanges are available with and without O-ring groove on the face. Specify on order.
* Up to 10 bar stub-ends without grooves can be used with elastomeric or compressed
fibre gaskets.
* For pressures of 12 bar and above, suitable O-ring seals should be used, available on
request.
* Make sure that the O-ring grooved stub-end is compatible with its counter flange,
e.g.use a stub-end without groove or another flat surface flange as counter flange.
* Maximum bolt-torque for use with O-rings seals may be calculated based on
pressure,pipe size and number of bolts. If using gaskets (maximum pressure 10 bar)
refer to the bolt-torques shown at the hubbed flanges.

Notes:
* For pressures up to 16 bar full face elastomeric gaskets may be used suitable for the service pressure,
service temperature and fluid. A Shore A durometer hardness of 60 5 is recommended with a thickness of
3 mm.
* For pressures higher than 16 bar 3 mm thick compressed fibre gaskets, compatible with the pressure,
temperature and chemical, may be used, of which the mechanical properties should be in accordance with
DIN 3754 (IT 400) or equal.
* Please be aware that excessive torque may result in flange failure and, that therefore a torque-wrench
is required.
* Bolt tightening sequense to be diametrically opposite.

Description
General
Bondstrand Fittings for Bondstrand Pipe Series 2000M and 7000M pipe are Glassfiber
Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) pipe fittings in diameters of 25 through 400 mm (1 through 16
inch) with Quick-Lock bonding joints and 450 through 900 mm (18 through 36 inch) with
Taper-Taper bonding joints, designed for offshore- and marine-applications.
Pressure range for standard fittings is 20 bar for sizes 25 - 100 mm (1 - 4 inch) and 16
bar for sizes 125 - 900 mm (5 - 36 inch).
For Fittings and Ancillaries, the maximum internal pressures are shown in the respective
tables. Standard Fittings are employed with integral-wound Socket Ends. A two-component Bondstrand epoxy based adhesive is used for bonding.
For corrosion resistance, please refer to Bondstrand Corrosion Guide, FP 132.
For smaller diameters 1 - 16 inch ( 25 - 400 mm) please refer to FP 832: Bondstrand
Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) Fittings for Bondstrand 2000M and 7000M pipe systems (1 - 16 inch / 24 - 400 mm).
A pipe system with a 0,5 mm resin-rich liner for temperatures up to 93C. Designed for
marine and offshore applications with a heavy wall to safely withstand an external
pressure for in-tank operation according to IMO A.753. Listed and approved by major
Classification Societies.
A pipe system similar to Series 2000M for temperatures up to 93C but unlined and containing integral-wound electrically conductive filaments to prevent accumulation of
potentially dangerous levels of static electricity. Bondstrand 7000M, like 2000M, is
designed for marine and offshore applications with a heavy wall to safely withstand an
external pressure for in-tank operation according to IMO A.753. Listed and approved by
major Classification Societies.

Notes:
S = Filament wound standard Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) fittings.
F = Fabricated Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) fittings.
C = Combination filament-wound Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) (reducing)
Tee and reducer.
Example for a 36"run with a 12" branch:

Needs to be combined (C) from a 36" x 36" x 18" S-type Tee + 18" Taper x Taper Nipple
+ 18" x 16" Taper x Q.L. Reducer + 16" Quick-Lock Nipple + 16" x 12" Quick-Lock
Reducer.
Laying Length of branch = 563 + 50 + 103 + 210 + 165 = 1091 mm.
For 400 mm (16") and smaller obtain dimensions from Quick-Lock Fitting Guide FP 832.

* Up to 10 bar stub-ends without O-ring grooves can be used with flat elastomeric or compressed fibre gaskets.
* For pressures of 12 bar and above suitable O-ring seals should be used, available on request.
* Make sure that the O-ring grooved stub-end is compatible with its counter flange, e.g. use a stub-end without
groove or another flat surface flange as counter flange.

Bondstrand Installation
Quick-Lock
Adhesive-bonded
Bell and Spigot Joints
for Bondstrand fiberglass piping systems
Introduction
Follow these instructions to make the Quick-Lock bell and spigot joint for Bondstrand
pipe and fittings using Ameron epoxy or vinylester adhesives. The instructions show
you how to cut the pipe, prepare the pipe ends, mix and apply the adhesive, make the
joint and cure the adhesive.
To determine the appropriate Bondstrand adhesive for your installation, consult
Bondstrand Chemical Resistance Guide, FP132. FP132 is available from Ameron or
your Bondstrand supplier.
Complete usage instructions for the adhesives are contained in each adhesive kit. Store
adhesives at temperatures below 100F (38C). Use adhesives before the date
stamped on the adhesive kit package.
The Quick-Lock joint has been used

successfully in Bondstrand fiberglass
piping systems throughout the world
for over thirty-five years. Typical of
Bondstrand installations is this vacuum
unit drain piping in a Saudi Arabian
desalination plant.
ISO-9001
CERTIFICATED FIRM
FP170E (8/00)
Cutting pipe
Measure the desired length and scribe the pipe using a pipefitters wraparound or
heating blanket. When holding the pipe in a vise, use a 14-inch (6 mm) thick rubber pad
(or equal) to protect the pipe from damage. Use a hacksaw or power saw with abrasive
wheel to cut the pipe. Check the squareness of cut. Pipe up to 4 inches (100 mm)
should be square to within 116 inch (1.5 mm); larger pipe to within 18 inch (3 mm). Use a
disc grinder or file to correct squareness.
Danger! Do not inhale dust produced by cutting and grinding. Provide adequate
ventilation or wear OSHA-approved dust mask.
Scribe the pipe with chalk or a white

marker to assure squareness of cut
(top). Bondstrand pipe may be cut
using a fine-tooth hacksaw or a power
saw with abrasive wheel (bottom). See
FP811 AMERON RECOMMENDED SAFETY
PRACTICES for proper personal
protective equipment.
End preparation
Use the Bondstrand B-1 end preparation tool for 2 through 8-inch sizes. For 10-inch
pipe and larger, several shavers are available from Ameron and are referenced in the
equipment list at the end of these instructions. Instructions for adjusting and operating
the end preparation tools are provided with the tools. The instructions may also be
obtained from your local Bondstrand representative.
End preparation
(continued)
End preparation tools can be used manually, but a portable power drive is advisable if
preparing a number of joints. Check the OD of the prepared end with a Pi Tape to ensure
the following dimensions are obtained:
The cutter wheels on the B-1 tool are

designed to cut when the tool is
rotating in the clockwise direction.
Attempts to cut with the tool in
counterclockwise rotation will bend
the cutter wheels and reduce the
effectiveness of the tool. Similarly,
when withdrawing the tool after
completing a cut, stop the drill motor
and simply pull the tool out of the
pipe. Do not reverse the drill rotation
when withdrawing as this will also
tend to bend the cutter wheels.
The B-1 tool (top) requires no adjustment

and is used to prepare pipe ends in sizes to
8 inches. Pipe ends in 10 and 12 inch sizes
are prepared with the M74 tool. The M80 tool
(not shown) is used for larger sizes.

All bonding surfaces must be clean and dry and must be sanded within two hours of
assembly. Sand the bonding surfaces with a 14-inch drill motor and flapper sander.
See the equipment list at the end of these instructions for drill motor and flapper
sander specifications. Sanded surfaces should show a dull, fresh finish, not a
polished look. Dont forget to sand the end of the spigot.
End preparation
(continued)
Wipe the sanded surfaces thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth, or use a duster brush to
remove dust particles. If surfaces become wet, warm with Bondstrand heating blanket
or hot air gun until dry, then resand. Protect the bonding surfaces from moisture during
bad weather by tenting over the working area. Do not touch the prepared surfaces with
bare hands or soiled gloves that would leave an oily film.
Caution: Clean and dry sanded surfaces are required for proper bonding.
When using pneumatic tools, the

air supply must be dry and
oil-free as moisture or oil on
bonding surfaces will interfere
with the adhesive.
Check the outside diameter of the prepared

pipe end with a Pi Tape (left). Permissible
diameter ranges are marked on the tape
and must conform to the values tabulated
on the previous page. Sand all bonding
surfaces within two hours of applying
adhesive: the inside of the fitting (top right),
the cut end of the pipe
(center left), and the outside of the spigot
(bottom left). Remove dust from all sanded
surfaces with a clean rag (bottom right).
Spigot insertion depths

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

Before applying adhesive, put an

insertion depth reference mark on the
spigot by measuring back from the pipe
end by the amount tabulated above.
After joining, the reference mark should
be 1 inch from the end of the bell.
Alignment of fittings
To ensure proper alignment of fittings, matchmark the mating pieces before applying
adhesive. Taking care to avoid contaminating the bonding surfaces, dry fit the pieces,
then mark each piece for subsequent realignment.
Assure proper alignment of

fittings by matchmarking the
mating pieces while dry fitting.

Important: Be aware of the working time available after the adhesive has been mixed.
It may not be possible to achieve the listed number of bonds in the smaller
sizes because of the available working time (pot life) of the adhesive. See
the adhesive kit package for the approximate working times.
Add all of the hardener to the resin (left).

After mixing thoroughly, apply a thin layer
to the inside of the bell (right).
When the joint is ready to be bonded, add the curing agent to the resin. Stir thoroughly
for at least one minute or until no streaks are visible. Apply the mixed adhesive to the
bonding surfaces immediately.
If the mix has started to gel in the container, discard and start a new kit.
Appearance of gelled or lumpy material indicates that the mix has started to cure.
Use the disposable spatula supplied in the kit to apply a thin layer (132 inch or 1 mm) of
adhesive to the surface of the bell including the pipe stop. Excess adhesive in the bell
will restrict flow inside the joint. Apply adhesive liberally to the entire spigot surface and
a thin layer to the cut end of the pipe. Excess adhesive on the spigot surface will be
forced out when the bell and the spigot are joined.
Proper adhesive application
In a properly made joint, the adhesive applied to the bell is pushed to the inside of the
joint where it forms a bead that protects the cut edge of the pipe. Excess adhesive
applied to the pipe spigot is pushed to the outside of the joint and can be easily
removed.
Too much adhesive in the bell may restrict flow through the pipe.
Apply a generous layer of adhesive to the

outside of the spigot (left). In addition,
apply a thin layer of adhesive to the cut
end of the pipe (right).
When the joint is assembled, some of the

adhesive in the bell is pushed to the inside
by the end of the spigot. When correctly
applied, a thin layer of adhesive in the bell
(center) forms a small bead that will
protect the cut end of the pipe.
Correct
Too much adhesive in the bell may restrict

flow inside the pipe (bottom).
Incorrect
Joint assembly
Without rotating the spigot, insert it into the bell until it rests firmly against the pipe stop.
For 6-inch (150 mm) pipe and larger, use a comealong to seat the joint and hold it in
place. Support the bands on wooden blocks on each side of the joint so the comealong
can remain snug while the heating blanket is wrapped around the joint and the joint is
cured. Joints 6 inches or less in size may be made by tapping on a wooden block
placed over pipe end to seat the spigot in bell.
Before joining the pipe, align the faces of

the bell and spigot parallel with one
another (left). When making largediameter joints, use a comealong to join
the pipe (right) and to hold the joint
together during the cure.
Joint assembly
(continued)
Join fittings to pipe using one of the two methods described above. It may be
necessary to back up an elbow, tee, lateral, etc., with a sandbag or similar shock
absorber while tapping pipe spigots into fittings.
Caution: Never use a metal hammer directly on Bondstrand pipe or fittings.
Joints in the small diameters can be made

up with a rubber mallet (or equal) and a
block of wood (left). Never strike pipe or
fittings directly with a hammer or mallet.
Check the insertion depth after making the
joint (right). The reference mark should be 1
inch from the end of the bell.
When mounting a flange, make sure that

the vertical (center left) and rotational
alignment (bottom right) meet the
requirements stated in the text.
Remove excess adhesive for good

appearance (second from top
left). Sand the inside of the flange
before applying adhesive (second
from bottom left). Clean excess
adhesive where the flange lip
contacts the spigot to avoid
contamination of the flange
face (bottom left).
Align flanges, tees and other fittings to the matchmarks as you make the joint to avoid
rotating the part while assembling. Check rotational alignment of flange bolt holes and
squareness of flange faces. Flanges with bolt holes more than 116 inch (1.5 mm) out of
rotational alignment, or faces more than 116 inch out of square across the flange face, or
any angular errors of more than 1 2 in the axial or rotational alignment of bell and spigot
are likely to cause subsequent assembly problems. If the joint is misaligned, pull it
apart, remove adhesive from the pipe stop area, reapply adhesive and rejoin before
adhesive starts to set up.
Force curing adhesive joints
When force curing the adhesive, place the thermostat end of the Bondstrand heating
blanket against the assembled joint with the thermostat side facing out. Wrap the
remainder of the blanket around the joint so that any overlap covers the thermostat. Tie
the blanket in place with any nonconducting tie.
In general, Ameron recommends the use of insulation around the heating blanket. This
is essential when the air temperature is below 40F (4C). Fiberglass insulation backed
with aluminum foil generally works well. Insulation should overlap the blanket sides
about 4 inches (100 mm) each way and be tied down near the edges to trap the heat.
Turn on the heating blanket and mark the starting time on the pipe. Check the blanket
after a short period to assure it is heating.
A 30-minute cure is recommended for joining pipe and mounting flanges and a
45-minute cure for joining fittings.
Position the heating blanket with

the thermostat facing out (left).
Wrap the loose end of the blanket over
the thermostat and secure with an
electrically nonconductive tie (right).
Mark the starting time for the cure on the

pipe (center right). If the temperature
might drop below 40F (4C), insulate
the blanket with fiberglass insulation
backed with aluminum foil or the
equivalent (bottom right).
Caution: Do not move, vibrate, or
Force curing flanges
Flange mounting requires a special blanket wrap. Lay the blanket flat with the
thermostat down and, starting at the thermostat end, roll it up. Insert the rolled blanket
into the pipe end to the depth of the fresh joint, leaving the cord and part of the blanket
exposed as shown. Fill the space inside the rolled blanket with fiberglass insulation to
ensure that the blanket remains snugly against the inside joint surface.
When curing a flange, place the heating

blanket inside the pipe so that the
thermostat faces the center of the pipe.
Insulate the space inside the blanket.

Series 2000M / 7000M sizes up to 400 mm (16) and series 2020 sizes up to 100 mm (4) are with Quick-Lock joints.
Refer to Quick-Lock assembly guide.
Taper data for Quick-Lock sizes shown within (brackets) are only shown for Taper-Bonding reducing fittings, i.e. the
minor outlet of a reducer size 500 x 400 has a taper socket. In the minor outlet of those fittings a Taper to Quick-Lock
transition-adapter has to be bonded. This makes the minor outlet Quick-Lock (male).
In cases where 2 insertion depths are shown, such as 200/290, the first figure shows the insertion depth for pipe
series 3400 and the second for pipe series 2400.
6. Shave the taper spigot.

a Maximum shaving depth / feed is 2 mm.
b Repeat the shaving action until the required spigot diameter / spigot nose thickness is
achieved (table C).
c Due to possible tolerance spreading it is recommended to use a nominal sized dummy
bell end. This may avoid too long or too short assembly lengths. If the insertion depth in
the dummy is too small, the spigot end to be shaved has to be adjusted.
shaving to insertion tolerance
d Shaving the diameter of a taper spigot 1 mm smaller, with a taper angle of 2.5 will result
in 23 mm additional insertion in the socket. For a taper angle of 1.75 this is 33 mm.
Preparing for bonding

7. Sand all bonding surfaces.
a Thoroughly sand within 2 hours from assembly.
b Use flapper wheel sanders with a small drilling machine (1700 - 2000 rpm) or emery
cloth with a grid of 60.
c Bonding surfaces must be dry and clean before sanding. Refer to step 10.
d Sanded surfaces must have a dull, fresh finish, not a polished look.

8. Dry fit and mark the joint.

a
Check the assembly length and mark pipe and fitting for alignment of elbows, flanges,
etc.
alignment mark
b Measure back from the edge of the spigot the required insertion depth plus 50 mm and
scribe a line. After assembly by pulling the joint together the scribe on the pipe should be
50 mm from the end of the bell.
insertion mark
During final assembly the spigot may slip approximately 5 mm further into the bell,
therefor the dry fitted assembly should be approximately 5 mm longer per joint.

9. Install the band clamps.

a
Install the band clamps on both components keeping sufficient space for the winches
when pulling the joint together.
Normally 2 winches will suffice. If needed more winches can be used.
10. Dry the bonding surfaces.

a
If the relative humidity is higher than 75% or if the bonding surfaces are wet they should
be dried.
b A hot air blower or Ameron heating blanket can be used.
use of winches
11. Pre-heat or cool down the bonding surfaces.

a It is recommended to keep the bonding surfaces between 15C and 40C.
b For warming up Ameron heating blankets can be used.
c If the sun will heat up the bonding surfaces to above 40C keep them in the shade if
possible.
12. Re-sand.
a
If the sanded surfaces have been contaminated, or if initial sanding took place more
than 2 hours before assembling, the surfaces should be re-sanded.
13. Clean the sanded surfaces.

a Use a clean dry cloth or brush to remove sanding dust etc.
b Do not touch the sanded surfaces after sanding and cleaning.

Never use adhesive that has started to cure. This is the case when the mixture gets
clotted and toughens.
16. Apply a thin layer of adhesive

a Use a spatula or an adhesive scraper for applying the adhesive.
b All surfaces to be bonded (sanded areas) must be completely covered with adhesive,
approximately 0.5 mm in the bell and 1 mm on the spigot.
c A too thick layer of adhesive may result in flow restrictions.

Assembling the adhesive bonding joint

17. Insert the spigot in the bell.
a
When inserting the spigot pay attention to the marks and position and keep the joint
together. Letting the spigot slip back or turning the spigot after complete insertion may
result in a bad joint.
adhesive improper applied
b Hook the 2 winches in the band clamps and start pulling the joint further together in a
smooth movement until the joint is firmly fixed together and there is 50 mm between the
bell end and the mark. See step 8.
c It may be necessary to set a bridge (pieces of wood between winch cables and pipe
outside) to simplify placing of the heating blanket.
d Do not remove the winches until the adhesive has fully cured.
18. Remove excessive adhesive.

a
use of winches
For removing excessive adhesive, also from the inside if possible (flanges), a spatula
may be used.
Curing of the adhesive

19. Apply the heating blanket.
a
Wrap the required size Ameron heating blanket around the joint keeping the power
supply cable free from the blanket.
b Make sure the voltage is correct.
c The blanket should be applied as indicated in the appropriate Bondstrand Heating
Blanket Data sheet.
d The blanket should be tied down using heat resistant wire.
e Good blanket to pipe surface contact is essential for proper curing of the adhesive.
write starting time
When the temperature is below 10C or the wind has a cooling effect, insulation material
should cover the heating blanket. Insulation material should overlap the sides of the
blanket with at least 100 mm and should match to the pipe. It should not cover the
thermostat.
Open pipe ends should be closed during curing preventing cooling down by draught.
insulate heating blanket
20. Determine the curing time

a
Curing time is mainly subject to the distance (= wallthickness) between blanket and
adhesive.

Maintenance Coupling
Assembly instructions for
butt-end joints and repair
Instructions
1. Cutting the pipe Before cutting the replacement length of pipe, allow the
temperature of the existing system to stabilize to avoid length changes through
expansion or contraction. Measure the replacement piece carefully so that the space
between its ends and the ends of the pipe in the existing system will be no more
than 1 8 inch.
Inner sections (2)

Outer sections (2)
2. Positioning the coupling Center the maintenance coupling over the joint and
mark the lap length on the pipe ends. Sand the pipe ends with a belt sander using
belts with a 40-grit abrasive. Sand inaccessible areas with a flapper sander or by
hand using a shoeshine method. Sand until all gloss is removed from surfaces to
be bonded. Sand the cut ends of the pipe as well.
3. Checking for snugness of fit Fit the parts together dry before final sanding.
The 180 inner sections placed around the pipe ends should, when held in contact
on one side, show from 0 to 18 inch separation on the opposite side. If, with zero
separation, the inner sections are not snug against the pipe surfaces, file back an
edge as required to get a snug fit. If the sections, when fitted snugly, show a
separation of more than 18 inch, correct any misalignment of pipe ends and sand to
fit. The outer sections of the coupling should show 18 inch or more of separation.
Hose Clamp
Areas to be sanded and

adhesive applied
4. Final sanding All mating surfaces must be clean and dry and must be sanded
within two hours of assembly. Sand using a 14-inch drill motor at 1700-2000 rpm and
a flapper type sander with a 40- 50 grit aluminum oxide abrasive, available from
Ameron. After sanding, bonding surfaces should show a dull fresh finish, not a
polished look.
Use special care in handling parts to avoid contamination. Handle the parts with new
gloves which are used only for this purpose or with clean, dry cotton cloths.
If the bonding surfaces are wet, warm them with a Bondstrand heating blanket until
dry, then resand. Protect the bonding surfaces from moisture during wet weather
with tenting over the work area.
5. Selecting the adhesive Unless the project specifications or the Bondstrand
Corrosion Guide (FP132) recommends a special adhesive for your particular service,
use Bondstrand PSX34 epoxy adhesive. Instructions for mixing and using the
adhesive are in the adhesive kit.
Larger couplings are more difficult to handle and assemble; once the adhesive has
been mixed, the time available for assembly is limited by the adhesive pot life. A
crew of two or three is suggested when assembling 8- through 16-inch couplings.
FP199D (7/99)
Instructions (cont.)
6. Applying the adhesive With the spatula supplied in the adhesive kit, apply
adhesive to completely cover the cut pipe edges, the prepared pipe ends and the
inner surfaces of the two inner sections of the coupling. Use enough adhesive so
that any excess will be forced to flow to the edges of the sections when assembled
around the pipe ends. Assemble these two inner half sections by centering them
around the butted ends of the pipe. If the potlife of the adhesive is now more than
half expired, it may be necessary to defer further assembly and cure the inner
sections. If so, clamp the sections and cure according to the instructions provided in
the adhesive kit. After curing, let the parts cool completely, remove the clamps,
resand the remaining mating surfaces, mix a new batch of adhesive and proceed as
follows.
Apply adhesive to cover completely the outer surfaces of the inner sections.
Assemble the two outer sections with the split line about 90 away from the split line
in the inner sections. Place the hose clamps around the assembly and draw them
tight. Remove excess adhesive for a workmanlike appearance.
7. Curing the adhesive Heat-cure the adhesive using Ameron heating blankets.
Cure time is 1 hour and 15 minutes for all diameters. Apply the heating blankets in
accordance with the instructions provided with the blanket, making certain that any
overlap of the blanket covers the thermostat. It is always a good idea to insulate
around the heating blanket and to close the ends of the piping system to prevent
movement of cold air inside the pipe while the adhesive is curing.
Maintenance coupling kit
Kit includes inner and outer sections, hose clamps and assembly instructions.
Adhesive must be ordered separately.

Bondstrand Pipe Shavers
ondstrand 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 centre shaft, the cutting tool advances
automaticially.
Assembly technique
For the best possible joint reliability, Ameron 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 programmes and audio-visual aids are available and
are especially helpful for first-time users of Bondstrand Pipe
Shavers.

Important notice
Clean the inside of the pipe to remove all dint, sand or foreign objects. Clean tool
of any large particles or shavings from previous use.
Inspect the cutter wheels on tool. If worn, loosen and rotate for new cutting edge.
If loose, tighten with Allen wrench.
Mount tool in chuck of 1/2-inch (13 mm) drill motor and tighten chuck securely.
Except when working on installed pipe, the pipe must be held securely, preferably
in a pipe vise. Use a -inch (6 mm) thick rubber pad between the clamps and the
pipe to protect the pipe. Warning: Avoid inhaling dust produced by cutting. Wear
an approved dust mask.
Insert the spindle of the tool into the pipe so that the cuffing wheels remain away
from the end of the pipe. Grip the drill motor firmly and switch to 'on'. Slowly feed
the tool into the pipe until the tool bottoms. Remove tool from pipe.
Inspect the cut surface to insure that all 'glazed' or resin-covered areas have
been removed. If such areas remain, sand by hand until the entire surface is
without a resin gloss.

Bondstrand
M74 Pipe Shaver
Operating Instructions
The Bondstrand pipe shaver is
designed to prepare a spigot on the cut
end of a Bondstrand pipe as described
in the Bondstrand Assembly
Instructions found in your Bondstrand
Adhesive Kit. Pipe is shipped from the
factory with spigots, but when pipe is
cut to length on the job site, a spigot
must be shaved for assembly to the
bell end of another section of
Bondstrand Quick-Lock pipe, or to a
Bondstrand Quick-Lock fitting or
coupling. Bondstrand Quick-Lock
flanges are provided with sockets for
mounting to pipe spigots in the same
way. Spigots can be prepared on 2inch through 12-inch pipe of any
Bondstrand series with this tool.
The pipe shaver is centered and held at
the cut end of a pipe by an expanding
arbor. There are seven sizes of arbors,
one for each size of Bondstrand pipe.
The arbor slips into the pipe and the 0rings expand to grip the inside pipe
surface when the tie bar is tightened.
As the frame is rotated around the feed
tube, the cutting tools advance and
shave a cylindrical surface (spigot) on
the pipe. When adjusted and used as
described in these instructions, the
shaver prepares an excellent bonding
surface with a controlled tolerance on
diameter.
This unit can be rotated by hand or
with a portable power drive as used for
threading 1/2-to 2-inch steel pipe. A
key in the portable power drive
engages a keyway in the power drive
seat to rotate the unit.

Now you are ready to remove the shaver
from the case.
Remember the shaver is a precision tool
and must be handled with care.
Caution: Before handling the shaver.
engage knurled slide sleeve (G) by
sliding it fully forward under the
power drive seat. Handling of shaver
with slide sleeve disengaged may cause
injury.
2. Locate Cutting Tool Assemblies
Locate the cutting tool assemblies in the
carrying case (Ameron Commodity

Code
3365900).
In addition, you will need the
equipment listed on the last panel of
the Bondstrand Assembly Instructions,
found in each adhesive kit. A wrench
fitting a 1-1/8 inch hex head will also
be required. You don't necessarily
need a portable power drive but it
makes the job much easier. Contact the
manufacturers or their representatives
for information on the following
portable power drives:
Model 440

appropriate slots in frame B for the

desired pipe size, and assemble slide plate
(K),washer (T) and socket head cap screw
(AE) on each assembly. and tighten
screws (AE) with 3/8-inch Allen wrench.
3. Set Spigot Length Indicator

Loosen the socket head cap screw
(AB) on one of the tool retaiher arms
using the 3/16-inch Allen wrench
and slide the indicator (N) so that the
outer pointer lines up with the mark
for the desired pipe s')ze. Retighten
screw (AB). The inner pointer will
show you when the correct spigot
length is reached in Step 6.
4. Adjust Cutting Edges

a. Disengage slide sleeve (C) by
sliding it fully out from under the
power drive seat and draw tie
barn) back so that feed lube (C) is
fully back into frame (B), and
reengage slide sleeve (C). Remove
nut (H) from tie bar in), remove
arbor (Q) if one is on tie bar, and
slip pipe shaver gauge (BB) onto
feed tube (C).
With the 5/16-inch Allen
wrench, slightly loosen socket head
b.
cap screw (AG) on one cutting 1001

assembly. Adjust form tool (P) in
toward or out from pipe shaver gauge
(SB) with adjusting screw (AA) until
cutting insert (VV) is separated from
pipe shaver gauge (BB) by 0.015-inch
feeler gauge. Lock form tool (P) in
place by tightening socket head cap
screw (AC). Recheck position of
cutting insert (W) after the form tool
(P) is locked in place, and readjust

if necessary. Repeat procedure to
set second form tool (R).
c. Remove gauge (BB) and slip arbor
(Q) over feed tube (C). Turn nut (H)
onto tie bar (D) so that key on nut (H)
will engage slot in arbor (Q). Note.'
Nut (H) will be tightened later.
5. Mount Shaver in End of Pipe

With your Bondstrand pipe cut to
length and firmly held in position
(see photos of padded vise in the
Bondstrand Assembly
Instructions),you are now ready to
mount the shaver on the end of the
pipe. Disengage slide sleeve (G)
and slide arbor (Q) and feed tube
(C) forward, away from frame (B)
and re-engage slide sleeve (C).
Slip arbor (Q) into Bondstrand pipe
until the end of arbor (Q) nearest
to frame (B) is flush with end of
pipe. Now with a 1-1/8-inch
wrench, tighten tie bar (D)
(looking toward frame [B] turn
hex head clockwise) so that arbor
(Q) is locked firmly inside pipe.
Again disengage the slide sleeve
(G), slide frame (B) toward pipe

until cutting inserts (W)
are nearly touching end of pipe,
and re-engage the slide sleeve.
6.
Shave the Spigot
If a portable power drive is used to

turn shaver, slide the drive onto the
power drive seal. If you are going to
turn the shaver by hand, attach handles
(U). Begin turning shaver frame
clockwise (looking toward pipe), and
continue turning and shaving pipe
surface until inner pointer on indicator
(N) is flush with the end of pipe.
Caution: Do not reverse power

drive to return cutting head to
starting position. Do not use power
drive to advance cutting head
beyond maximum pointer depth
(about 3 inches). Shaver will jam at
end of travel possibly causing injury.
When using shaver to make nipples,
avoid possible injury when
advancing cutting head by turning
shaver manually.
7. Check Shaved Diameter
a. After shaving the first spigot, you
will need to check the shaved diameter,
First, disengage the slide sleeve (G)
slide frame (B) away from pipe until
cutting inserts 1W) are at the starting
position, and re-engage the slide sleeve
(G).With the arbor (Q) still firmly in
place, measure the shaved diameter of
the new spigot using a circumferential
wrap tape such as a Pi Tape with a
vernier reading to 0.001 inch (0.02
millimeter) on diameter See Table I for
tolerance range on spigot diameters, If
your measured diameter falls well
within this tolerance range, you may
proceed to Step 8.
b. If the diameter measured in

Step 7a was borderline or outside
the recommended tolerance range,
a slight adjustment of the two form
tools (P) is required. Loosen
socket head cap screw (AG)
slightly and adjust screw (AA) as
required on both tools. A 1/4 turn
of adjusting screw (AA) will

change diameter of spi9ot by
0,020 inch (0.50 millimeter).
Spigot too small - go to Step 8 and cut
off and discard shaved spigot.
Reposition arbor (0) in pipe end and
shave new spigot after adjustment,
repeating Steps 5, 6 and 7 until
proper diameter is obtained
Spigot too large-after adjustment,
repeat Step 7 until proper diameter is
obtained,
Note: Shaving a spigot in one pass
produces a slightly larger diameter
than is produced by shaving thin cuts
on repeated passes. To shave
acceptable diameters on one pass, you
must adjust the shaver based on
measurements of spigots made in a
single pass.
8. Remove Shaver from Pipe To
remove arbor (0) from pipe, loosen tie
bar (D) using a 1-1/B inch wrench
(looking toward frame [B] turn hex
head counterclockwise), With slide
sleeve (C) engaged, slide arbor (0) out
of the pipe
9: Recheck Adjustment for Wear
or Abuse.
Once shaver is properly adjusted for a
given pipe size, you will usually need
to check spigot diameters only at the
beginning and middle of each shift,
provided the shaver is handled with
care at all times, and not dropped, hit
or abused in any way that might cause
a change in setting. After extensive
use, the cutting inserts (W} may get
dull or show wear. Simply loosen
socket head cap screws (AF) using
3/32-inch Allen wrench and rotate both
inserts g~0 to obtain a new pair of
cutting edges. Readjust to obtain
correct shaving diameters. Ameron

Instructions
TYPE A :
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. Ensure that the pre-formed
blanket remains snugly against the inside joint surface by locking beginning and end
with each other. At removal after the recommended curing time beware not to pull the
blanket by power cord when fixed by excess adhesive. Release first before removal in
order to avoid damage to the thermostat.
TYPE B and C:
Place the thermostat end against the assembled joint with the thermostat facing out from
the joint. Wrap the remainder of the blanket around the joint so that any overlap will
cover the thermostat.
Flange mounting requires a special wrap. Lay the blanket with the thermostat down and,
starting with the thermostat end, roll up the blanket. Insert the rolled blanket in to the
pipe end for the depth of the joint be cured, leaving the power cord and part of the
blanket exposed as shown. Keep the blanket snugly against the inside joint surface by a
flexible non metallic rod.
TYPE D:
Wrap both sides of the blanket around the pipe, the power cable is the middle of the 2
heating zones. Reverse the heating zone provided with a spacer (4) over the cold end
(5) of the other heating zone using a 2" diameter GRE spacer pipe (6) in between the
reversed end (supplied with the blanket). Keep clearance (7) in between the reversal
radius and the GRE pipe in order to release excess heat. Check if the reversal side is
not in contact with the other heating zone. Overlap causes damage. Check whether
the blanket fits snugly against the pipe surface especially the thermo couple locations.
Handling precautions
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
Do not lift or hold the blanket by the power cord.

Do not apply alternating current (A.C.) when standing in water, or on wet surfaces.
Apply alternating current only at the voltage marked on the heating blanket.
Do not step on the blanket or create sharp folds in it.
Inspect the blanket and power cord for loose wire connections and bare wires
prior to applying alternating current.
6) Make sure the blanket is operating, in fact heats up (at all heating zones when
applicable).
7) For required curing times and detailed assembly instructions, please refer to the
applicable joint Assembly Instructions.
8) Use the blanket only for pipe sizes as indicated on the blanket.

Installation Guide
Shipping, Handling,
Storage and Inspection
of Bondstrand Fiberglass Pipe
Introduction
Bondstrand pipe is manufactured from fiberglass reinforced epoxy or vinyl ester resins.
When properly handled and installed, fiberglass pipe and fittings result in a
maintenance-free, high-performance piping system. Fiberglass reinforced pipe and
fittings are impact sensitive and must be handled with a reasonable amount of care.
Handling
Transportation
a. Let the factory arrangement of the pipe be your guide for correct supporting
and spacing when rearranging for transport. Do not let pipe or fittings rest on
the bed of the truck where nails, studs and other objects might damage them.
Whenever pipe or fittings come in contact with wood or metal, padding such
as excelsior, carpet or foam should be used.
b. The pipe should be securely fastened directly over the dunnage with tiedowns
consisting of nylon straps or manila rope. Avoid overtightening which may
cause excessive localized deformation in the pipe. Straps and ropes should
be retightened every 50 miles while in transit. Rope ties should be used
between standards to prevent the load from spreading.
c. Do not allow the pipe to extend more than 3 feet beyond the truck or trailer
bed as permanent damage can result from excessive flexing. Pronto-Lock
pipe should always be loaded with the female ends even. Spacers used
during transportation should be padded.
d. Bondstrand pipe is a light load, particularly with larger diameter pipe.
Therefore, reduce speed on rough roads to minimize bouncing.
Properly loaded pipe. Rope ties should

be used between standards to prevent
the load from spreading (left). Straps and
ropes should be retightened every
50 miles while in transit (right).

Handling
(cont.)
Loading and unloading

a. Pipe and fittings should never be thrown or dropped under any circumstances.
b. If the pipe load is properly separated and supported, forklifts can be used.
Forklifts should have at least a 6-foot carriage (distance between the forks). All
surfaces that come in contact with the pipe should be padded.
c. Never jam or spear forks into a load of fiberglass pipe except where spacers of
at least 2-inch thickness are located.
d. If load is irregular and cannot be reliably moved by fork truck, or proper
equipment is not available, the pipe should be carefully loaded and unloaded by
hand one length at a time. The nominal weights for each respective pipe length
can be found under PIPE WEIGHT.
Correct unloading and stacking

procedure. The pipe should be carefully
loaded and unloaded by hand one
length at a time.
If proper loading equipment is not
available, do not roll pipe off trailer.

Bondstrand pipe may be safely stored outside for extended periods provided the
following procedures are observed:
a. Supports should be spaced in maximum 10-ft intervals and approximately 6 feet
from each end. The supports should have a minimum 4-in wide bearing surface.
Storage (contd)
b. A pipe stack should not exceed 10 feet in height and should have side supports
or blocks to prevent rolling or slipping in the stack.
c. Spacers should be utilized every 3 feet if the pipe will be reloaded by forklift.
d. Tie downs should consist of nylon straps or manila rope. Avoid overtightening
which may cause excessive localized deformation in the pipe.
e. If it is necessary to stack pipe directly on the ground, make sure that the ground
surface is level, soft and free of rocks or sharp objects.
f. Protective end coverings should be left in place until time of installation to
protect the pipe ends and to prevent dirt or other materials from entering the
pipe.
g. Fittings, adhesives and tools should be stored in their shipping boxes under
cover and protected from water, mud and extreme heat or cold.
Inspection
Since pipe and fittings may be subjected to rough treatment during transportation,
storage and handling, it is imperative that they be fully inspected for possible impact
damage, cracking or manufacturing defects. If the outside surface of the pipe has been
gouged or exhibits a depression, it is likely that the impact has also caused damage to
the liner. Impact damage on translucent pipe can usually be detected by a localized color
difference in the pipe.
The color difference may be as small as 12 inch in diameter or as large as 4 inches in

diameter depending on the intensity of the impact. Inspection of pipe and fittings should
be undertaken upon delivery and just prior to installation. At delivery, check the load
carefully. If pipe or fittings are delivered damaged, the following procedure should be
observed:
End Users and Distributors:
Accept all damaged material. Note damage on freight bill and bill of lading. Notify the
shipper immediately. Depending on the origin of shipment, call the Bondstrand
distributor in your area, or, in the case of direct shipments, call Ameron Fiberglass Pipe
Systems.
During inspection, isolate any damaged sections immediately to avoid any chance of
damaged material being installed. All damage on pipe must be cut out and repaired.
Inspection plays a major role in the ultimate success of an installed pipeline. If damaged
or defective pipe or fittings can be detected prior to installation, the installer will avoid
frustration and delays caused by necessary rework. All parties involved will benefit from
careful and thorough inspection.

Bondstrand RP34C
Adhesive Kit
epoxy adhesive for bonding
fiberglass pipe and fittings
Description
The RP34C epoxy adhesive kit contains an adhesive resin, hardener, mixing spatula
and assembly instructions. The adhesive resin is an off-white paste with sand filler.
The adhesive hardener is a black paste. The mixed adhesive color is black. RP34C is
a two-part amine cured epoxy resin system formulated for permanently bonding
Quick-Lock joints on Ameron fiberglass-reinforced epoxy pipe and fittings.
Instructions
Before mixing the adhesive, insure that the bonding surfaces are correctly prepared
and are clean and dry. Open the resin and hardener containers. Using the mixing spatula, scrape all of hardener into the resin container. Mix the resin and the hardener with
the spatula for at least 60 seconds. Scrape the sides, bottom and lid of the resin container occasionally to get all of the hardener into the mix. Never attempt to split a
kit. The resin and the hardener have been packaged at the correct ratio for optimum
adhesive performance.
Apply a uniform coat of the mixed adhesive to both bonding surfaces and draw the
parts firmly together. Detailed joint assembly instructions may be found in QUICK-LOCK
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, FP170.
Pot life and cure time
For installations with service temperatures below 210F (99C) and pressures below
150 psi, RP34C bonds can be put into service with ambient temperature cures as indicated in the table. (See page 2 of this section.) However, it is highly recommended that
an external heat source be used to force cure the adhesive. The adhesive and bonding surfaces should be warmed to 70F (21C) prior to mixing and applying the adhesive. Adhesive may be force cured using an Ameron-approved heating blanket. The
table also indicates the pot life (working time) of the adhesive at various temperatures.
The pot life is the time from the initial mixing of the resin and hardener until the adhesive in the container begins to thicken and is no longer usable.
For systems with anticipated service temperatures above 210F (99C) or operating
pressures over 150 psi, or when installing any system at ambient temperatures below
60F (16C), the adhesive joint must be cured with an external heat source. A heat
cure using an Ameron-approved electric heating blanket is recommended. The heat
cure may be applied at any time after the bond is made and before the line is tested
or put into service. The heat may be applied immediately after making the bond while
the adhesive is still liquid or after it has gelled to a solid.
ISO-9001
Minimum cure times of 30 minutes for 2 through 6-inch pipe and 45 minutes for
8 through 16-inch lines are recommended. Even after the adhesive has solidified at
ambient temperatures, heat curing will enhance the chemical cross-linking of the
adhesive, increasing the strength, temperature resistance and corrosion resistance of
the adhesive.

Instructions
Prior to handling, read all Toxicity, Precaution and First Aid information below. Before mixing the adhesive, insure that the bonding surfaces are correctly prepared and are clean
and dry. Open the resin and hardener containers. Using the mixing spatula, scrape all of
the hardener into the resin container. Mix the resin and the hardener with the spatula for
at least 60 seconds. Scrape the sides, bottom and lid of the resin container occasionally to get all of the hardener into the mix. Never attempt to split a kit. The resin and the
hardener have been packaged at the correct ratio for optimum adhesive performance.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, FP170 and BELL X SPIGOT JOINTS, FP807.
150 psi (1.03 MPa), PSX34 bonds can be put into service with ambient temperature
cures as indicated in the table (See page 2 of this section.). However, it is highly recommended that an external heat source be used to force cure the adhesive. The
adhesive and bonding surfaces should be warmed to 70F (21C) prior to mixing and
applying the adhesive. Adhesive may be force cured using an Ameron-approved heating blanket. The table also indicates the pot life (working time) of the adhesive at various temperatures. The pot life is the time from the initial mixing of the resin and hardener until the adhesive in the container begins to thicken and is no longer usable.
pressures over 150 psi (1.03 MPa), or when installing any system at ambient temperatures below 40F (5C), the adhesive joint must be cured with an external heat
source. A heat cure using an Ameron-approved electric heating blanket is recommended. The heat cure may be applied at any time after the bond is made and before
the line is tested or put into service. The heat may be applied immediately after making the bond while the adhesive is still liquid or after it has gelled to a solid.
ISO-9001
Minimum cure times of 30 minutes for 1- through 6-inch pipe and 45 minutes for
8- through 16-inch lines are recommended. Even after the adhesive has solidified at ambient temperatures, heat curing will enhance the chemical cross-linking of the adhesive,
increasing the strength, temperature resistance and corrosion resistance of the adhesive.
When used in fire protection service all joints must be force-cured with an external
heat source regardless of ambient temperature.

Bondstrand Product Data with assembly instructions

Bondstrand RP105B
Adhesive Kit
vinyl ester adhesive for bonding
Description
The RP105B vinyl ester adhesive kit contains a paste resin, liquid catalyst, mixing spatula
and assembly instructions. The resin contains aluminum oxide grit and is off-white in
color with black specks. The catalyst is a white liquid. The mixed adhesive is light gray.
RP105B is formulated for bonding permanent Quick-Lock joints on Ameron fiberglassreinforced vinyl ester pipe and fittings.
Instructions
After insuring that the bonding surfaces are dry and clean, completely mix all of the
catalyst with the resin. Never split a kit. Apply adhesive to both bonding surfaces and
draw both parts firmly together. Required cure times must be observed. Detailed joint
assembly instructions may be found in Quick-Lock Installation Instructions, FP170.
RP105B is a gap-filling adhesive

designed to fill the space between the
straight spigot and the slightly tapered
bell (3) in the Quick-Lock joint. For proper
adhesive distribution (2), apply a
generous layer of adhesive to the outside
of the spigot and a thin layer to the inside
of the bell (1).
Pot life
RP105B will cure within 3 hours at ambient temperatures above 60F. Below 60F, or
to accelerate cure, an external heat source must be used. If ambient temperature
is below 60F, or a more rapid cure is required below 80F, use an Ameron approved
electric heat blanket to supply external heat following the procedure in Steps A and B.
Joint surfaces should be warmed to 70F prior to application of adhesive when
ambient temperature is below 60F.
A) Turn the heat blanket on for 15 minutes, then turn it off.
B) Allow the bond to set an additional 15-20 minutes before moving.

Estimated Man-hours for

Assembly of Bondstrand Systems
matching taper/taper and Quick-Lock adhesive joints;

Pronto-Lock/Pronto-Lock II, and Key-Lock
mechanical joints
General
The information in this bulletin may be helpful in estimating construction costs where
Bondstrand products will be used. The tables estimate man-hours for making various
Bondstrand joints. The estimates are based on timed tests under ideal conditions: an
experienced person with all necessary materials at hand. Times do not include jigging,
measuring, planning, and other activities normally associated with piping joint fabrication.
Actual times may vary due to environmental conditions, skill and experience of the fabricator, and the equipment available. These times are based on the assumption that the
crew received limited training from an Ameron Certified Technician and they are familiar
with basic installation procedures as recommended in standard Ameron literature. Once
the crew gains familiarity with the procedure, total time may be reduced as much as
50%. The estimates are given using tools that are new or in perfect operating condition.
The cutting blades are sharp and suitable for cutting glass fibers and resin materials.

Table 1 estimates installation of taper/taper adhesive joints and Pronto-Lock/Pronto-Lock

II mechanical joints. (Series 3000A, 3200 and 3300 Series)
Key-Lock and Quick-Lock
Table 3 estimates man-hours required for field fabrication of piping using both Quick-Lock
and Key-Lock joints. Key-Lock joint assembly times are based on a single key joining of a
male end of a pipe to a coupling already mounted on a pipe end fitting. For comparison,
man-hours for fabricating welded joints in selected types of metallic piping are included.
Table 2 estimates installation of Quick-Lock adhesive bonded joints.(Series 2000, 2000M,

2000M-FP, 4000, 5000, 7000 and PSX Series)
Assemblers will be experienced after a few hours of training. This gives the contractor the
option to use less skilled (and less expensive) labor than certified welders. The assembly
of Bondstrand piping generally does not require heavy lifting equipment, reducing the setup and assembly time and eliminating the need for skilled equipment operators.

Assembly Instructions
for Bondstrand fiberglass flanges
Scope
These instructions present Amerons recommendations for the proper use of

Bondstrand fiberglass flanges in the following pipe series:
Series
2000
4000
2000M
5000
2000MP
7000
2000MFP
7000M
The mounting of flanges on pipe and fittings is addressed by the assembly instructions
for the particular Bondstrand adhesive used.
Gaskets
Use full-face gaskets of an elastomer suitable for the service pressure and temperature
and fluids in the system. Gaskets should be 18 inch thick (3 mm) thick with a Shore
durometer hardness between 55 and 65. Refer to ASTM D1330 Specification for Sheet
Rubber Gaskets, Grade I or II, to establish minimum physical property requirements for
use with water, except specify a Shore A durometer hardness of 60 5. For dimensions
other than thickness, refer to Table 5 of ANSI B16.21-1978 for Class 150 full-face
gaskets.
Assembly
First, finger tighten all nuts. Bolt threads must be clean and lubricated to attain proper
torque. Use lubricated washers under both nuts and bolt heads to protect flange backfacing.
Tighten all nuts following the sequences shown under TIGHTENING SEQUENCE. Do not
exceed the torque increments given in RECOMMENDED BOLT TORQUES. After all bolts have
been tightened to the recommended torque, recheck the torque on each bolt in the
same sequence, since previously tightened bolts may have relaxed.
Caution: Excess torque can prevent sealing and can damage flanges.
Sealing against valves

and other flanges
Always follow these instructions carefully when joining Bondstrand flanges to raisedface steel flanges, flanges on lined pipe and fittings, and wafer valves of all types.
Molded flanges should not be connected to wafer valves or raised-face steel flanges.
Valves are frequently supplied with sealing details built into the flange facing. Unless
these details are known to seal against Bondstrand flanges, use the usual full-face,
1
8 inch thick elastomeric gasket.
Safety factors
Standard black or solid gray molded flanges in 4 through 12-inch sizes have a safety
factor to failure torque of 1.5 or greater when joined to another Bondstrand flange or any
flat-face flange in accordance with these instructions. All other Bondstrand flanges
have a safety factor to failure of 1.5 or greater when joined to a raised-face steel flange
or a valve in accordance with these instructions.

3) Flat-face steel flanges.
4) Available only in 2 x 112-inch reducing configuration. Connect only to 112-inch steel flanges.
Trouble shooting
If assembled joint leaks, loosen and remove all bolts, nuts, washers and gaskets.
Check for alignment of assembly. Rebuild to correct alignment as required.
Check the gasket for damage. If damaged, discard and replace with 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 lubricate old threads and washers before rejoining. Repeat the joining
procedure outlined above.
After corrective action has been taken, retest the joint to see if a seal has been made.

This guide contains general information for designing suspended Bondstrand piping
systems. This information, in conjunction with good general engineering practice
and the designers good judgment, must all be applied to complete a successful
and economical piping system.
The guide considers the following:
Criteria for selecting Bondstrand products for a given application
Expansion and contraction
Span between supports and support location
Connections to other materials and equipment
Coating Bondstrand products
Suggested details for guides, supports and anchors
While Bondstrand performs in many applications just like metallic systems, the
designer must recognize some important differences:
Bondstrand pipe weighs only about 17 as much as Schedule 40 carbon steel

pipe. This means that pipe and piping assemblies even in 16-inch diameters
can be lifted into place using any light lifting equipment. In the smaller diameters, no lifting equipment is necessary. This reduces on-site installation costs.
The longitudinal modulus of Bondstrand is much less than that of carbon steel
pipe a characteristic that limits spans where deflection is important but also
reduces thrust due to temperature change.
Thermal expansion is 60% greater than for carbon steel. However, by taking
advantage of the Bondstrands flexibility, you can provide for this expansion
economically, often without using expansion joints.
Bondstrand fiberglass pipe requires protection against potential external abrasion or crushing at points where steel supports are located. Such protection is
easy and economical.
Effective modulus values vary with temperature. Recommended spans and

estimated thrusts are given to help the designer detail his project for long-time
operation at ambient and elevated temperatures.
Recognition of these and other differences dealt with in this guide is the key to
successful installations. While this information is likely to prove most helpful to
those designing Bondstrand systems for the first time, experienced Bondstrand
customers will also find new and useful information.
Be aware that the reinforced thermosetting resin piping products offered by other
manufacturers may differ significantly from Bondstrand. Resin systems, manufacturing processes and joining systems are important variables affecting the
mechanical and physical properties of these products. The recommendations
and suggestions given are based on Amerons test and field experience and
should be applied only to Bondstrand products.
Selecting Bondstrand pipe, fittings and adhesives
A choice of either epoxy or vinyl ester Bondstrand products is available for different
chemical and thermal environments. For information to guide your selection, refer to
the Bondstrand Corrosion Guide, FP132. This publication provides recommendations for different chemicals and other fluid materials, including food products, as
well as guidance for selecting the appropriate Bondstrand adhesive.
Filament-wound versus molded products
In smaller pipe sizes, you have a choice between molded and filament-wound
fittings. In general, filament-wound fittings should be used in applications where
fittings in loops, turns or branches are intended to flex, where temperature changes
exceed 100F in restrained or blocked systems, or where the system is exposed to
mechanical vibration or hydraulic surge. Filament wound fittings would be used,
also, in systems where a liner is required. Some sizes and types of fittings are not
available in both molded and filament-wound styles, so check the Bondstrand
Fittings Dimensions, FP282, for availability when making your choice.
General (cont)
Energy savings
Remember when selecting pipe diameter that Bondstrand's low frictional values
(Hazen-Williams C = 150) will reduce your pumping energy requirements compared
to those for carbon steel pipe. In most systems these low frictional values will be
maintained for the life of the system.
Note also that the slightly larger inside diameter of Bondstrand pipe compared to
Schedule 40 or 80 carbon steel pipe, will further reduce your pumping costs. Handy
charts in the Bondstrand engineering guides show the head loss expected for both
pipe and fittings.
Insulated systems
Bondstrand may be insulated in the field. Bondstrand pipe is also available from
many pipe insulators with efficient built-in insulation. If you use insulated
Bondstrand, be sure to check your support spacings for the operating temperature
to accommodate the added weight of the insulation and jacket.
Series 2000M-FP is manufactured with a factory applied, reinforced coating which
provides impact resistance and thermal insulation in addition to its fire protection
properties. Unless indicated otherwise, values presented in the tables for Series
2000 can be used for Series 2000M-FP.
Other application information
Where containment is required for your piping system, Ameron can supply
Bondstrand II pipe with a variety of joining and performance options.
Ameron has prepared a number of publications with valuable information pertaining
to specific types of service, including marine applications, fire protection systems
and steam condensate returns. Just call your local Bondstrand distributor or your
nearest Ameron sales office, and let us know your application. Give us the temperature, pressure, liquid or gas to be carried, and other pertinent conditions.
In addition, Ameron has computer programs for deflection and stress analysis of
Bondstrand systems. For a nominal fee, Ameron Engineering Department will be
pleased to utilize one of these programs to analyze your specific systems.
Experience shows, however, that such analysis is required only for the more
demanding or complicated conditions and that the generalized procedures presented
herein will usually suffice.
Designing for
expansion and
contraction
General principles
Suspended pipe generally performs best where it is permitted to move freely. In
these systems, anchors serve only to keep the pipe properly positioned between
loops and turns. Center the anchor in the run between loops if possible. An anchor
should be placed between loops and between loops and turns. Except for the one
anchor per run, supports should carry the pipe and maintain the intended drainage
slope but should not restrain the pipe against axial movement. At turns, the
supports should also permit lateral movement. Supports should not fall directly on
fittings.
If the piping system cannot be designed to move freely, see next section on
DESIGNING FOR RESTRAINED SYSTEMS.
Pipe changes length in a free system as a result of changes in temperature and
pressure. Since both can increase or decrease concurrently, the resulting changes
in length must be combined for loop design. Length-change formulas and examples
appear in Appendix A, but the following paragraphs will provide all you need for
most pipeline designs.
Length change due to temperature

Length change due to pressure
Table 1
The amount of length change occurring because of internal pressure depends on

wall thickness, diameter, Poissons ratio and the effective modulus of elasticity in
both axial and circumferential directions at the operating temperature. In
Bondstrand pipe, some of these factors tend to cancel each other, and the correction becomes relatively simple. For each 100 feet in a straight, freely supported run
of Bondstrand pipe (Table 1) provides length changes which are suitable throughout
the indicated range of temperatures. You need only correct this value for the pressure of your system by using a direct pressure-ratio correction.

psi (7 bar) internal pressure in
an unrestrained system.
Values given for Series 2000, 2000M-FP and

Anchoring for branches and valves

Both vertical and horizontal branches can add complexity to a system intended to
move freely. Unless a branch can move both axially and laterally, such as a short
stub-out to a nozzle or flexible hose connection, it will require special consideration
to avoid undue bending stresses. Sometimes the best solution is to anchor both the
branch and the run at the tee, accommodating the pipe length changes at turns or
loops in each of the three connecting lines. For example, a vertical branch
connecting to buried pipe may include a Z-loop; the tee may be rotated 90 to
permit an L-loop; or the vertical line may be treated as a restrained pipe as
described in Designing for Restrained Systems.
Valves should be anchored and supported directly, especially in diameters six
inches and larger. Valve weight in the larger sizes and torque on valve handles in all
sizes are the primary concerns. Generally, butterfly valves with manual lever handle
actuators do not require separate supports. Other types of actuators can add too
much torque or weight if they are not separately supported.

expansion and
contraction
(contd)
Using expansion loops

Loops are recommended for relieving longitudinal stress between anchors in a
suspended pipeline. Table 2 gives minimum expansion loop dimensions for all
Bondstrand pipe series. First, determine how much total length change due to
temperature and pressure must be absorbed. Use the appropriate table for the pipe
series you are using. Select the pipe diameter and total length change to determine
the required leg length for a U-loop design. As an example, assume that a Series
2000 eight-inch line is installed and will change a total of two inches in length. Table
2 for Series 2000 and Series 4000 shows that the length of loop leg required to
accommodate the length change is 9 feet (2.8m).
Loops should be horizontal whenever possible to avoid entrapping air or sediment
and to facilitate drainage.
For upward loops, air relief valves aid air removal and improve flow. In pressure systems, air removal for both pressure testing and normal operation is
required for safety as well.
For downward loops, air pressure equalizing lines may be necessary to permit
drainage.
In both cases, special taps are necessary for complete drainage.
Loops using 90 elbows absorb length change better than those using 45 elbows.
Unlike a 90 turn, a 45 turn carries a thrust component through the turn which 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% more than a 90 elbow. The relative displacement in the plane of
a loop is also more of a problem. Figure 2 illustrates the geometry involved. Design
information is not provided because it is beyond the scope of this manual and loops
with 45 elbos are generally not recommended. Consult Ameron if a situation
requires the use of 45 elbows.

Expansion joints
Instead of a loop, an expansion joint may be used to relieve longitudinal stress. The
type selected must be fairly flexible, such as a Teflon bellows which is activated by the
thrust of low modulus materials (see Note , Table 3).
Supports for expansion joints must be carefully designed and placed 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 or thermoplastics for strength, the structural
discontinuity or hinging effect at the joint increases with increases in temperature.
When using an expansion joint in a pipeline carrying solids, consider the possibility that
it may stiffen or fail to function due to sedimentation in the expansion joint. Failure of
the expansion joint may cause excessive pipe deflection.
Designing for
systems
3 restrained
Caution: In restrained systems, pipe

fittings can be damaged by faulty
anchoring 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.
General principles
The layout of a system occasionally makes it impossible to allow the pipe to move
freely. Sometimes it may be necessary to block certain runs of an otherwise free
system. In a fully restrained pipe (blocked 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 . Remember that axial thrust on anchors is independent of anchor
spacing. Formulas and examples are found in Appendix B.
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.
Thrust due to temperature
Table 3
Initial temperature-induced
thrusts (pounds-force) in fully
restrained Bondstrand pipe at
various operating temperatures
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 the thermal coefficient of expansion, the cross-sectional area, the
modulus of elasticity and the temperature change, t. Table 3 gives the maximum
axial thrust in anchored lines for each series of Bondstrand pipe at three elevated
temperatures. The table assumes a fully relaxed initial pipe length at 60F, with
short-time modulus of elasticity values as shown.

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

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
bonded, 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 at turns.
For the designer of a restrained Bondstrand pipeline, however, the problem can be
greatly simplified. Table 4 provides the recommended design thrusts and locations
for anchors at various fittings.

Notes:
1. Pipe anchors (A) such as shown in
figure 8, Section 8 are used in restrained
systems at each end of a run and just
before a change in direction, and must
resist the tabulated thrusts.
2. Pipe anchors (B) such as shown in
figure 7, Section 8 are light-duty in-line
anchors usually located between two pipe
anchors (A) or midway between loops or
turns in systems not restrained.
3. Pipe anchors (A and B) at elbows and
branches should be located a distance of
five to ten times the pipe diameter from
the bend. Other anchor locations may
require a flexibility analysis.
4. No appreciable thrust on anchors is
developed due to internal pressure in the
pipe at in-line reducers.

Using guides for alignment control

A suspended line which is restrained from movement may need extra supports or
guides to maintain alignment, especially when the pipeline is exposed to a wide
temperature range. Guides as shown in Figure 6 may permit the pipe to move axially
but not laterally. Without guides, restrained pipe may not deflect uniformly and, in
some cases, may deflect excessively. Tables 5 to 9 (Tables 10 to 14 for metric) give
recommended guide spacing to avoid buckling deflection between anchors.
Supplying this lateral support by using guides at the normal support locations or
even at every other support is often sufficient, especially in the larger diameters. To
check, compare the recommended span for your operating temperature as determined from the section entitled SU P P O R T LO C A T I O N S A N D S P A N S with the guide
spacings from Tables 5 to 9 (Tables 10 to 14, metric). Be sure that guide and
support spacing meet both requirements.
As an example for determining guide spacing, assume that a three-inch Bondstrand
Series 2000 line is installed at 70F and is to operate at 250F (T = 180F). Table 5
shows that guides should be installed at intervals of 7 feet.

Spans and support

4 locations
Span recommendations
Recommended maximum spans for Bondstrand pipe at various operating temperatures are given in Table 15. 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 non-uniform support spacings. The tabular values represent a compromise between continuous and simple spans. When installed at the
support spacings indicated in Table 15, the weight of the pipe full of water will
produce a long-time deflection of about 12 inch, which is usually acceptable for
appearance and adequate drainage.
Fully continuous spans may be used with support spacings up to 20 percent greater
than those shown in Table 15; in simple spans, support spacings should be 20
percent less than those shown in Table 15.
For this purpose, continuous spans are defined as interior spans (not end spans),
which are uniform in length and free from structural rotation at supports. Simple
spans are supported only at the ends and are hinged or free to rotate at the
supports. Special conditions described below are not covered.
The pipe is assumed to be free to move axially. Suspended piping, which is
restrained or anchored against longitudinal movement, represents a special case
and guides may be required as discussed under the previous section, Use of Guides
for Alignment .

Support spacings for special conditions

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

Support locations
Supports that permit pipe movement are usually under pipe, not under fittings. Be
sure that pipe movement is not obstructed either axially or laterally by a flange or
fitting near the support. In general, supports may be located at convenient nearby
structures, just as for steel pipe, provided the support spacings indicated in Table
15 are not exceeded.
Anchors on pipe are indicated in Table 4 for restrained piping. Except at flanged
connections, above-ground anchors are usually found on pipe rather than fittings.
Anchors in lines free to move should be located where necessary to control movement into loops or turns. See Figures 7 through 10 for typical anchor details.
Supports for vertical runs
Install a single support anywhere along the length of a vertical pipe run more than
about ten feet long. See Figure 10 for suggested details. If the run is supported near
its base, use loose collars as guides as shown in Figure 10b, spaced as recommended in Table 17.

not recommended
Vertical runs less

than ten feet 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.
Accommodate length changes in vertical pipe runs by allowing free movement of
fittings at either top, bottom or both. For each 1/8 inch of anticipated vertical length
change, provide 2 feet of horizontal pipe between the elbow and the first support,
but not less than 6 feet nor more than 20 feet of horizontal pipe.
Treat columns more than 100 feet high (either hanging or standing) as 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.

5 Connections
Connections to other piping

Where possible, connect Bondstrand to either metallic or thermoplastic piping using
flanges drilled to the 150 psi standards of ANSI B16.5. Bondstrand filament-wound
epoxy flanges and Bondstrand heavy-duty molded flanges may be bolted directly
against raised-face steel flanges These flanges also seal well against lined steel
configurations. All flanges, including Bondstrand standard molded flanges, epoxy
and vinyl ester, provide sealing against flat-faced flanges. Use a full-faced 1/8-inch
thick elastomer with a Shore A hardness of 60 5 for best results .
Flanged valves and other equipment are frequently supplied with different flange
facings. The configuration of these facings may vary widely. Unless it has been
demonstrated that these facings are compatible with the face of Bondstrand
flanges, consult Ameron Fiberglass Pipe Group Engineering Department.
Where Bondstrand is connected to metallic pipe, securely anchor the metallic pipe
at the point of connection so that expansion and contraction or weight of the metal
line is not transferred to the Bondstrand line.
Small-diameter metallic connections
Outlets for instrumentation are best made using orifice flanges with 1 2-inch orifices.
Threaded reducer bushings mounted in saddles, blind flanges and fittings plugs
offer connections up to 11 2-inches in diameter for a wide range of applications. The
most commonly used metal bushing material is Type 316 stainless steel, but
Ameron can furnish other materials on special order.
Gravity flow connections
There are different ways to make gravity-flow connections to floor drains, cast iron
pipe, etc. For example, a four-inch by six-inch tapered body reducer will enlarge the
receiving end of a Bondstrand four-inch pipe and serve as a packing chamber for
the cast iron end of a floor drain or other fitting.
Conversely, Bondstrand pipe can be packed and sealed into a cast iron bell. In any
case, avoid packing materials which must be applied at temperatures above 200F.
Mechanical couplings are available through other manufacturers to connect
Bondstrand to clay, concrete, cast iron or other non-metallic pipe.

6 Connections
equipment
Equipment vibration
Bondstrand pipe will safely absorb vibration from pumping or other conditions if (1 )
stresses are controlled within reasonable limits, and (2) pipe is protected from
external abrasion by saddles or sleeves where it contacts supports and other
objects. In general, pipeline vibration is severe only when the generating 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, and is often difficult to predict.
There are two principal ways to control stress caused by vibration. You can usually
observe the stability of the system during initial operation and add restraints or
supports as required to reduce effects of equipment vibration. Where necessary,
guides illustrated in Figure 6 will effectively hold pipe from lifting or moving laterally.
In special cases where source vibration is excessive (such as that resulting from
pumps running unbalanced), an elastomeric expansion joint or other vibration
absorber should be considered. If an expansion joint is considered, refer to
EXPANSION JOINTS.
Connections to tanks
The wall flexure of a tank as it is filled and emptied produces movements at nozzles
which must be accommodated in the design. These movements can be absorbed
by a loop or turn, or by an expansion joint. Avoid direct, straight-line connections
between tanks.

Other design
considerations
Coating Bondstrand
Exposure to direct sunlight will eventually degrade the surface of Bondstrand
piping. Although no failures are known to have resulted from this superficial degradation, it does cause a dull, grey appearance which many users wish to avoid.
Ameron products are available to prevent or arrest this effect, or for color coding.
Based on studies at the factory, a five-mil single coat of Ameron Amershield single
coat polyurethane protective coating will provide suitable protection for either epoxy
or vinyl ester pipe and fittings.
Adhesion of the coating is improved by delaying the application until the pipe
surface has begun to weather. Pipe must be thoroughly cleaned before applying the
coating.
For further information on chemical resistance, coverage rates, equipment and
application procedures for coatings, contact Ameron's Protective Coatings Division.
Electrical properties
Bondstrand pipe offers high resistance to stray electrical currents, a common cause
of corrosion around valves and pumps. Table 18 gives the results of tests on
Bondstrand pipe in a clean, as manufactured, condition at room temperature.
Obviously, electrical properties, especially surface resistivity, are greatly affected by
contamination and atmospheric conditions .

Note: All material was tested as manufactured and at room temperature.
High-velocity flow of fluids having low electrical conductivity, such as petroleum

distillates, can generate significant amounts of static electricity. In buried pipe these
charges are slowly dissipated. Be sure to ground projections or metal appurtenances, especially near discharge nozzles, filters, valves and other areas of high
turbulence. Use saddles instead of elastomeric pads at supports to obtain better
grounding.
Bondstrand Series 7000 pipe includes electrically conductive elements in the pipe
wall which, when properly grounded, prevent accumulation on the exterior of the
pipe of dangerous levels of static electricity produced by the flow of fluids inside the
pipe.
Entrapped gases
As in all piping systems, high points in the system will trap air or other gases.
Trapped gases may create a hazard during test and operation of the system, and
may restrict flow or drainage. It is recommended that air release valves be used at
high points to permit bleeding out trapped air or other gases. See SMALL-DIAMETER
METALLIC CONNECTIONS for suggested method of mounting.
Steam condensate
Good drainage helps avoid water hammer in steam condensate lines. For further
information, see our Bondstrand Guide for Steam Condensate, FP468, available
from your local distributor.
Heat tracing
Heat tracing may be needed to prevent freezing in cold weather or to maintain flow
of viscous fluids at ambient temperature.
Wrap heat tracing helically to avoid the pipe deflection caused by heating one side
of the pipe. Heat tracing should be directly on the pipe and within the insulation. Do
not exceed maximum trace temperatures of 250F for epoxy products or 200F for
vinyl ester products, and use the maximum trace temperature for the design of the
piping system.

Detailing the
8 supports
The following paragraphs describe and illustrate the different methods and devices
used to support Bondstrand pipe and fittings in a suspended system.
Because outside diameters of Bondstrand pipe are the same as those for iron pipe
size (IPS) standards, standard pipe supports and hangers often may be used for
Bondstrand piping systems. Occasionally, larger supports as given in Table 19 are
required to fit over elastomeric pads or saddles, especially at anchors.

sizes for Bondstrand pipe
Note: Dimensions shown in parentheses are recommended inside
diameters of anchoring device or
support, and provide for a 1 4-inch
elastomeric pad thickness or a
9
16 -inch Bondstrand saddle thickness.

Clamping forces
Support styles that clamp the pipe, are generally not recommended to ensure that
clamping forces do not crush the pipe. Local crushing could result from a poor fit,
and all-around crushing could result from over-tightening .
Where the pipe must be held tightly at the support, mount a pair of 180 support
saddles between clamp and pipe for the ultimate in strength and long life. In some
cases with Bondstrand 2000 or 4000, a 14-inch thick elastomeric pad (Shore A
durometer hardness 60 5) placed between clamp and pipe is a suitable alternative.
Space between pipe
In multiple runs, allow clearance for flanges and other fittings having a diameter
greater than the pipe. Table 20 shows the outside radius of standard Bondstrand
products. Add space between pipe runs to accommodate length changes at loops
and turns. Insulate as necessary to avoid direct exposure to hot pipe or other heat sources.
Table 20 Radius for determining piping
clearance requirements for
multiple runs
Notes:
1. Provide additional clearance
between pipe runs to accommodate length changes at loops
and turns.
2. Provide additional clearance
where Bondstrand saddles are
used for branching, or where
Bondstrand maintenance
couplings or other special
joining systems are used.

Supports permitting pipe movement

Supports allowing pipe to move with relative freedom include:
hangers which are free to move laterally or longitudinally with the pipe,
fixed supports over which pipe must slide, allowing longitudinal movement
and often lateral movement, and
guides which permit longitudinal movement of the pipe but restrain lateral
movement.
Hangers are free to move on their hanger rods and allow considerable longitudinal
and lateral movement. Hanger types include band, ring or clevis type (Figure 3), or
roller types (Figure 4) with the roller either suspended freely or held rigidly in a frame.
Fixed supports permit the pipe to move longitudinally and, in some cases, laterally.
An ordinary pipe rack made of steel angle is a typical fixed support permitting both
longitudinal and lateral movement. Figure 5 shows some typical types of fixed
support. Pipe resting in fixed supports requires protection from external abrasion, as
described below.
Guides (Figure 6) restrict translational movement but may permit longitudinal and
rotational movement. Guides are recommended for lines which are subject to sideloads or uplift. Examples include lines subjected to pressure surges, lines emptied
and filled during operation, and lines (especially when empty) which can be lifted or
moved by wind or other external loadings. Use guides on vertical runs (see Table 17).
15
the
supports (contd)
8 Detailing
Though no significant longitudinal movement is involved, guides are normally

required for restrained systems at spacings given in Table 5 through 14. An inexpensive guide for most applications is a light-duty U-bolt, double-nutted to restrict
horizontal and vertical movement but which permits free longitudinal movement.
Abrasion protection must be provided to protect the pipe where it slides through a
fixed support or guide. Choose a material compatible with the service environment
and budget. Some recommended protective methods include:
Bondstrand saddles, which provide a clean, corrosion-free surface acting
as a stiffening saddle for the pipe. Saddles are bonded to the pipe. In eightinch pipe and larger, light-duty abrasion protection can be provided by
bonding a half section of the same pipe to the line pipe.
elastomeric material such as rubber or neoprene. This material may be
either bonded in place or held by the clamping force of the support device.
galvanized sheet metal, bonded or banded to the pipe, where the environment is not too corrosive. Recommended minimum metal gauge is:
2- through 6-in. pipe: 16 gauge (0.0598)
8- through 16-in. pipe: 10 gauge (0.1345)
Abrasion protection must be firmly bonded or banded to the pipe wherever movement is possible between the pipe and the support.
Supports that anchor pipe
Pipe in a straight run is usually anchored by clamps or split rings. Light anchors
intended only to hold pipe in position between loops or turns in a free system may
be fixed supports, as shown in Figure 7.
Supports required to resist length changes in restrained systems generally require
the use of saddles. Saddles are recommended where pipe is to be held by ring
clamps (Figure 8). Bonded saddles also may be used as a shear key along with a
loose anchoring ring.
Valves and pumps in Bondstrand lines must be supported independently. Figure 9
shows how supports may be bolted to a flange to support weight, to resist thrust
and torque, and to provide electrical grounding.
Vertical pipe runs are usually anchored using bonded saddles or flanges resting on
a suitably reinforced and mounted guide or riser clamp (Figure 10).

Bondstrand Installation Guide

Guide for Steam Condensate

and Hot Water Service
General
This guide provides specific information about the material requirements, design
criteria, assembly and testing methods recommended to assure a successful steam
condensate return line or a hot water line such as for district heating or geothermal
applications using Bondstrand pipe and fittings.
Material
Bondstrand Series 2000 pipe and fittings are suitable for steam condensate return
service.1,2 Joined using Bondstrand RP-34 or PSX34, this piping carries hot water safely
at temperatures up to 250F (121C) when the system is properly designed and installed.
The BONDSTRAND FITTINGS AND ENGINEERING GUIDE3 provides details on parts certified in
accordance with Military Specification MIL-P-28584,4 an RTRP specification written
especially for steam condensate return service. Certificates are available on request.5
Another military specification offers guidance on design and installation.6
In choosing parts for your system, Ameron suggests that you consider also the
following:
1.
Heavy-duty, filament-wound flanges are recommended in 2-, 3-, and 4-inch (50,
80, and 100 mm) diameter, particularly when systems are blocked or buried. In
larger diameters, standard filament-wound flanges provide the necessary
strength for this service.
2.
As an exception to the use of filament-wound products, molded blind flanges

are suitable for steam condensate service and are found on the approved list.6
3.
For reductions in pipe diameter, Bondstrand filament-wound tapered body

reducers are recommended over molded reducer bushings.
4.
Tees are recommended for branching. Saddles for branching to either

Bondstrand or steel lines are not recommended for steam condensate. Of
course, saddles are excellent for supports and for in-line anchor details.7
5.
Gaskets for both Bondstrand-to-Bondstrand and Bondstrand-to-steel flanged

connections should be 1/8-inch (3 mm) thick full-faced gaskets using a suitable
elastomer such as ethylene propylene rubber with a Shore A hardness of 605.
6.
Connections to metal condensate piping are always made using flanges. Metal
pipe should be blocked at points of connection to Bondstrand pipe to prevent
metal pipe loads from being transferred to the Bondstrand pipe. This applies to
drip leg connections as well as condensate lines.
7.
Metal piping within manholes may facilitate positive anchoring and provide
improved resistance to vibration, torque loads on valves and physical abuse.
8.
Bondstrand maintenance couplings are recommended for repair of damaged

lines where the ends cannot be separated enough to make a bell and spigot
joint. (See Field Repairs.)
FP468B (7/00)
Systems Protected
Against Live Steam
Bondstrand piping performs best in systems designed to carry condensate only in the
liquid phase. In these systems, a vented receiver tank or hot well collects the
condensate from the steam traps. From the tank, Bondstrand piping returns the
condensate to the boiler by gravity flow if elevations permit or by a pump arrangement
as in Figure 1. These systems are free of steam-induced water hammer and have been
shown to perform for up to 20 years without evidence of significant deterioration.
Systems Exposed
to Live Steam
Where hot wells are not feasible, other means of dissipating the energy in the drip
discharge must be used. Except where possible to design steam transmission lines
without steam traps,8 it will be necessary to remove the condensate from the steam line
at drip legs between the boiler and the equipment. Here complete protection against live
steam exposure may not be possible, but must be kept to a minimum. Steam flashing
within the lines tends to degrade the pipe liner over a period of time, particularly when this
flashing also produces water hammer.
Water hammer occurs in lines filled or partially filled with condensate. When a high
temperature (>212F or 100C) condensate discharge from a trap is released into these
lines, a portion of it flashes to steam. At the instant of release the pressure is nearly that in
the steam line. The flash steam immediately formed at the new lower pressure expands
greatly, even explosively, and a high-velocity pressure wave moves through the line.
Fig. 1. Typical Hot Well for Pumped

Condensate Return
In an empty condensate line, the positive pressure wave would move rapidly through the
line, and then, on cooling , collapse back to its original water volume, producing a similar
negative pressure wave. With the line full or partially full of condensate, the high-velocity
steam pressure wave may become a slug of water which is then slammed through the
pipe in a manner destructive to both pipe and equipment. As the steam rapidly cools and
recondenses, a reverse wave can develop.
The following steam properties outline the extent of this expansion and contraction. One
ounce (28 grams) of steam occupying over 2900 cubic inches at 212F (47,500 cc at 100C)
and atmospheric pressure will occupy only 1.8 cubic inches (30 cc) after condensing. The
flash steam formed on discharge to atmospheric pressure of condensate at 25 psi (1.7 bar)
is 5.7 percent by weight, and at 50 psi (3.4 bar) it is 9.0 percent.
Where some exposure to flash steam is unavoidable, special precautions can be taken to
alleviate the problem (see below). Remember, these precautions for systems with some
exposure to live steam are not necessary for systems fully protected against live steamthat is, where the condensate temperature is below the boiling point and there are no drip
leg connections.

(contd)
1.
Take care to assure a uniform grade line in the condensate lines. A gradient of
not less than one inch drop in 40 feet (2 mm per m) in the direction of flow is
recommended for both buried and suspended systems. Be aware that waterfilled low points in the line, particularly those near steam traps, can greatly
aggravate water hammer problems.
2.
Select suitable traps and develop a program of regular maintenance. Features of

trap design to consider should include:
minimizing the amount of condensate dumped per trap operation,
mode of failure, open or closed, and,
selection of the minimum workable size.
Avoid the temptation to install bypasses; While maintaining traps, valve off the drip line.
3.
Provide a dissipator at the steam trap from drip leg connections as shown in
Figure-2. Developed by Mr. Bill Stevenson, an engineer with the General
Services Administration, these widely used devices serve to absorb the initial
shock of the steam flash as well as to quickly dissipate some of the heat energy.
They are used in steel as well as RTRP condensate lines.
4.
Do not undersize the return piping. Larger sizes dramatically reduce the velocity
of the surge wave within the pipe and its potential for damage.
Corrosion Inhibitors
Where a corrosion inhibitor is required to prevent attack on steel components of the

piping system, morpholine is recommended. Other amine additives such as cyclohexylamine, may cause degradation of the pipe liner if used in concentrations in excess
of 1000 parts per million.
Layout of the Buried

System
Buried condensate and hot water systems operate at temperatures that normally
require anchor blocks at valves, turns and branches. The temperature-induced stress
in the blocked Bondstrand pipe will be absorbed in the pipe.9,10 For lines bedded
directly in soil, the designer should not expect that expansion will be absorbed as
movement at turns, by expansion loops or by expansion joints.
At lower temperatures (<180F or 82C) for short runs (<10 ft. or 3 m) from anchor to
fitting, and in poor soils (<1000 psf or 48 kN/m2), anchor blocks may not be required.
However, these are special cases and should be carefully analyzed before the decision
is made to install the lines without anchor blocks.11
Fig. 3. In-Line Anchor
In certain locations it may be necessary to place equipment such as pumps, valves or

steam dissipation chambers in restrained lines. Equipment replacement or repair, or
flange gasket replacement, will then be necessary from time to time. On heat-up,
normal thermal expansion produces a compressive longitudinal load in the restrained
Bondstrand pipe. Over a period of time this causes a shortening of the pipe such that,
unless the flanges are anchored, flanged joints often separate an inch or more when
cooled down and disassembled. This makes reassembly potentially difficult.
Reassembly will be much easier if the Bondstrand inlet and outlet lines are suitably
anchored at manhole and building wall penetrations. This can be done using an in-line
anchor block outside the wall as shown in Figure 3 or a steel anchor inside the wall as
shown in Figure 4. Good soil compaction under the lines around the manholes is
necessary so that excessive settlements cannot damage the pipe.
In some locations the stability of the soil under the pipe at penetrations cannot be
assured. Soil movements can produce excessive shearing loads on the pipe at the
interface to the fixed penetration. Here the anchor should be moved three to five feet
from the penetration and the penetration itself sleeved and sealed around the pipe.12
As an alternative to sealing between the pipe and sleeve with a firm but pliable mass, a
Link-Seal* provides an elastomeric seal by means of a preformed modular unit which is
bolted into place. These units may also be used to seal pipeline casings at road crossings.
The detail of Figure 3 must not be used to resist the expansion and thrust of restrained
steel lines. Connecting steel lines should be both anchored and supported to avoid
transferring excessive loads to the Bondstrand pipe.
Fig. 4. Anchor Inside Manhole or

Wall Penetration
Refer to Ameron literature11, 12, 13 for helpful information on the design and placement of
anchor blocks at buried fittings. The properties of Bondstrand pipe at elevated
temperatures are such that thrust blocks must be designed to resist both tensile and
compressive loads.
Layout of the
Suspended System
Suspended systems are generally designed using expansion loops rather than thrust
blocks, in part because the required supports are more economical when the pipe is
allowed to move freely.7 Anchors between the loops are required, of course, to control
the position of the runs.
Some layouts are simply too restricted to permit the use of loops.Large diameter
casings or tunnels are examples. The line may have to be blocked and guided to keep it
from snaking, or expansion joints may be used.
Assembly
Bondstrand pipe, fittings and flanges in condensate and hot water systems should be
assembled in accordance with Bondstrand assembly instructions and heat blanket
cure times should be 60 minutes for pipe joints and flange mountings, and 75 minutes
for joints or fittings.
Field Test
Simple hydrostatic testing of installed Bondstrand pipe and fittings to 150 psi (10 bar) or to
1.5 times working pressure for four hours is usually sufficient to assure proper performance.
Testing of a buried system is best accomplished prior to placing backfill and blocking.
In every installation operating at an elevated temperature, maximum reliability is served by
heating the system slowly the first time. A temperature rise of not more than 20F (11C) per half
hour generally will relax fabrication stresses and ensure optimum pipe and joint performance.
Field Repairs
Repairs of leaking pipe, whatever the cause, should be made by removing the faulty section
or a short length containing the fault, not by overwrapping the fault with any type of patch or
other material. If a joint is damaged during the laying operation, it should be cut off and a
coupling bonded to the cut-off end and laid in the line as a normal pipe.
If the damage occurs to an installed pipe which is blocked or otherwise restrained from
movement, the section to be repaired is cut out of the existing system and replaced by
inserting a length of new pipe or a new fitting or assembly in place of the damaged part.
The required buttend joint may be made using a Bondstrand maintenance coupling.

Product Notes
Weathering & UV Resistance of

Fiberglass Piping Systems
General
All thermosetting and thermoplastic materials are susceptible to ultraviolet (UV)

degradation upon prolonged exposure to sunlight. The degree of UV degradation
varies depending on the chemical composition of the materials, however, the
breakdown is primarily a surface phenomenon. The rate at which degradation may
occur varies based on the availability of air, water, oxygen and other oxidizing agents.
Numerous antioxidants and UV absorbers can be added to materials of high resin
content to retard UV degradation. Currently, no means exist to totally eliminate this
phenomenon.
The major concern regarding UV attack on fiberglass pipe is the loss of physical strength
through degradation of the resin-glass bond. Since UV degradation is a surface
phenomenon, the most efficient means of prolonging the integrity of the reinforcement is
to place a resin-rich protective layer between the structural fiberglass and the outer
surface. The thicker the surface coating, the better the weathering characteristics. The
use of pigments, dyes or fillers in the resin system will also improve weathering characteristics by helping to screen out the ultraviolet light.
Ameron employs a combination of techniques to protect the fiberglass bond from
UV attack. All fiberglass pipe produced by Ameron is manufactured on rotating mandrels.
This continuous motion results in a uniform resin-rich coating on the pipe exterior which
enhances its weather resistance. Pigments or dyes are incorporated into the resin system
to act as a further barrier to UV penetration into the laminate. Certain piping products may
also be overwrapped with an organic veil layer to provide even greater UV resistance.
Even if dry fiberglass appears on the outer surface, independent testing has shown it to
have no measurable effect on performance. If aesthetics are important, fiberglass pipe can
be covered with a high-grade acrylic or epoxy based coating.
Warranty
Ameron warrants its standard products against reduction of performance or corrosion

ratings due to UV exposure for a period of 15 years from date of purchase.

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
PRODUCT RANGE AND SERIES

Bondstrand provides four distinct series of filament-wound pipe and fittings using continuous glass
filaments and thermosetting resins for marine and naval applications:
Series 2000M
A lined epoxy pipe and fittings system for applications which include ballast lines, fresh and saltwater
piping, sanitary sewage, raw water loop systems and fire protection mains where corrosion resistance and light weight are of paramount importance.
Series 2000M-FP
A lined epoxy system covered with a reinforced intumescent coating suitable for dry service in a jet fire.
Series 2000USN
An epoxy system meeting the requirements of MIL-P-24608B (SH) for nonvital piping systems on
combatant and non-combatant vessels. Available in sizes from 1 to 12 inches (25 to 300mm).
Series 5000M
A lined vinylester pipe and fittings system in 2 inch diameter (50mm) for seawater chlorination.
Series 7000M
An epoxy pipe and fittings system with anti-static capabilities designed for white petroleum products
and applications passing through hazardous areas. Properly grounded Series 7000M prevents the
accumulation on the exterior of the pipe of dangerous levels of static electricity produced by flow of
fluids inside the pipe or by air flow over the exterior of the pipe. This is accomplished by Amerons
patented method of incorporating electrically conductive elements into the wall structure of pipe and
fittings during manufacture.
PSXL3
A polysiloxane-modified phenolic system for use in normally wet fire protection mains - also suitable
for confined spaces and living quarters due to low smoke and toxicity properties. Also available in a
conductive version.
PSXJF
A polysiloxane-modified phenolic system for use in deluge piping (normally dry). PSXJF has an
exterior jacket which allows the pipe to function even after 5 minutes dry exposure to a jet fire (follow
by 15 minutes with flowing water). Also available in a conductive version.
1.3

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:

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.

result is a net increase in length which can be calculated by the simplified formula:

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.

(Dresser Type)

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:

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.

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.
19
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 = TAEl
where
P = thrust (lbf or kg),
= coefficient of thermal expansion (in./in./F or m/m/C),

T = change in temperature (F or C),
El = longitudinal modulus of elasticity at lower temperature (psi or kg/cm2),
A = average cross-sectional area of the pipe wall (in.2 or cm2),
See Table 4-IV.
For example:
= 10 x 10-6in./in./F
T = 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
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.

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.

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
follows:
1/2
L =
1/2
TA
IEl
F
L = guide spacing (in. or cm.)

F = TAEl =
force of compressing an expansion joint (lb or kg),
= coefficient of thermal expansion (in/in/F or m/m/C).

El = longitudinal modules of elasticity at the highest operating temperature
(psi or kg/cm2), see Table 4-Ill
T = change in temperature (F or C),
A = cross-sectional area (in2 or cm2), see Table 4-lV.
I = beam second moment of area (in4 or cm4), see Table 4-IV.
The values shown in Fig. 4-1 are calculated at 100F (38C) and reduced by 25 percent. Within the
cross-hatched area, the pipe will crush prior to compression of the expansion joint based on a compressive allowable stress of 20,000 psi (1400 kg/cm2).

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.
4.9
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.

Note that pressure in the pipe under these conditions will cause the pipe to lengthen and reduce the

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.

5.0 Anchor And Support Details

5.1
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.
5.2
DETAILS
5.2.1
Water Tight Bulkhead Penetration, Flanged One End (Figure 51 On Following Page)
All water tight bulkheads and deck penetrations must be accomplished in steel and/or a non-ferrous
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.
43
Fig. 51
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).
Fig. 52
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.
44
Fig. 53
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.
Fig. 54
45
Fig. 55
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.
Fig. 56
Fig. 57

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

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.

Fig. 58

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.

ID = inside diameter (in. or cm).
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.

Fittings and/or mechanical couplings may reduce the system working pressure below that

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).
59
In International System (SI) units, this equation is
HL = 1068
where

Q =

C =

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
1 . 852
= 1068
QBS
CBS IDBS
2.63

Rearrange the above expression to show the flow rate in Bondstrand pipe in terms of flow rate in
steel pipe:
2.63
CBS
IDBS
QBS = Qsteel
Csteel
IDsteel
][
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

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
Moody equation,

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
2.63
C ID
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.

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 (Ameron 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 (Ameron CC #34354).
4.
For 350 to 900mm (14 to 36 in.) pipe - Bondstrand M81 Pipe shaver (Ameron 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 Ameron. 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 Amerons
Protective Coating Division, is suitable for water and other mildly corrosive services.
Note:
On special order, Ameron can supply full-length Bondstrand pipe for couplings with ends prepared in
accordance with steps b, c, and d.
e. Lubricate the Joining Surfaces

Clean and lubricate the sealing rings and the outside surface of the pipe with the 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.

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 Ameron. 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
such as Amercoat 90, manufactured by Amerons Protective Coatings Division, 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, Ameron 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.

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, Ameron 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.
* Ameron 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.

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.
E.1
Fig. 1
Note:
Fig. 2
Note:
E.2
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.
Support and Anchors at Fitting
Anchors may be affixed to pipe using saddles as shear conntectors or bolted to flanges

Description
Bondstrand Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy pipe systems were used extensively at

these fifth generation mobile semi-submersible vessels, that operate world-wide.
The main reason that Bondstrand 2000M and 7000M pipe systems were used so
extensively, is the considerable weight saving that was achieved allowing operators to
increase the pay load on these rigs.
Bondstrand Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) pipe systems were selected for their
light-weight and ease of installation. Excellent GRE flow characteristics versus metallic
options avoids biological build-up and reduced operation costs. Corrosion resistance
was obviously an important factor.

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.

Introduction in to glass
reinforced plastics
General statement
A general definition of a composite is a synergistic combination of

two or more materials. More specifically, the composites referred
to here comprise a high strength reinforcement in fibrous form,
incorporated into and bonded together by a matrix, usually a
thermosetting polymer. The term fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) is
widely used to describe such materials with glass reinforced
plastic (GRP) when the reinforcement is glass fiber. Glass
reinforced epoxy (GRE) is used when, as in the case of much
composite pipework, epoxy resin is the matrix
The nature of E-glass

fibers
Most glass fibers consist of E-glass, a term which once stood

for electrical grade glass, as used in insulators and capacitors.
This glass, which is transparent and brittle, but of high strength, is
a super-cooled mixture of metallic oxides. Glasses in bulk form
tend to have relatively low strength levels, because of the
presence of microscopic surface flaws which act at site for crack
propagation. Glass in fibrous form can be much stronger provided
that the surface of the fibers is protected at all times against
damage. Glass is produced in a furnace about 1200C and spun
into fibers by allowing it to drain under its own weight through
many heated bushings. Molten glass is quite corrosive, and the
bushings must be made from platinum to avoid damage, and to
protect the glass from contamination. Each bushing contains
many hundreds of holes through which the molten glass must
pass before forming fibers of approximately 10 microns in
diameter.
The secret of the strength of glass fibers, and of their ability to
bond to polymeric matrices is the size which is applied to the
surface of the fiber's in the form of an aqueous solution shortly
after the fiber's emerge from the bushings. The size contains a
polymeric binder which coats the glass surface to protect it and
lightly binds together the individual fiber's in each fiber tow to
prevent them rubbing against one another during subsequent
handling and processing. The size also contains a coupling agent
- 1 - a reactive component, usually an organosilane, which is a
multi-functional molecule. The silane part of the molecule bonds
tightly to the surface of the glass while the organic part is
designed to attach itself to the polymer matrix. When purchasing
glass fiber it is necessary to stipulate the type of resin matrix to be
used, since some coupling agents are specifically chosen to be
compatible with particular resins. The size also contains a film
former to enable it to spread over the glass surface and lubricants
to facilitate processing without damage.

Despite the presence of the size, every processing or handling

operation introduces flaws and reduces the strength of the
glass. By the time it has been incorporated into the composite, the
effective tensile strength is generally about 1700 Mpa, which is
many times tower than its strength immediately after leaving the
bushing.
After spinning, the glass fiber tows, referred to as rovings1 are
wound at high speed onto cylindrical packages, or cheeses, and
placed in a drying oven where the water in the size coating is
removed. These cylindrical packages are the basic intermediate
from which a wide variety of glass reinforcing products are
manufactured. Examples of such products are described in figure
1 and are given in table 1 and 2.
The tex of a fiber tow or roving is its weight in g per km.
Undirectional rovings can be used directly in composite
manufacture, or they can be converted to other intermediate
products. Direct applications include the uni-directional rovings
used in process such as spray lay up, filament winding and
pultrusion. Alternatively, the glass strands may be chopped,
usually to a length of 50 mm, and sprinkled onto a moving belt to
make chopped strand mat (CSM), the most widely used
reinforcing product for boat building and other general purpose
GRP products. CSM contains randomly orientated glass strands,
held together by the application of a small amount of polymeric
binder. In purchasing CSM, it is important to specify the type of
binder: some are soluble in liquid resin, some are not.
More importantly, some binders are unsuitable for use in
laminates to be continuously immersed in water. CSM is widely
used in contact moulding, resin transfer moulding and other
processes.
Continuous strand mat or swirl mat is similar in some respects to
CSM, except that the fiber's are continuous. Swirl mat is used in
pultrusion, where the reinforcement is required to have sufficient
integrity to allow it to be pulled through the process under tension.

Glass fiber rovings may also be woven by standard textile

processes into a range of reinforcing fabrics. Such woven rovings
can have various types of weave, such as plain, satin or twill, plain
being the most common. Woven rovings can be used in
processes such as contact moulding, resin transfer moulding and
pre-preg manufacture. In their most common form, woven rovings
have equal quantities of fiber in the warp and weft directions,
giving orthotropic laminates with roughly similar properties in
these two directions. It is also possible to produce biased fabrics
with different quantities of fiber in the two directions, the extreme
case being "unidirectional" fabric, where almost all the
reinforcement is the in the warp direction, with lust sufficient
stitching in the transverse direction to maintain integrity during
processing
Recently, there has been interest in "non-crimp" fabrics, where
uni-directional rovings are stitched together in layers. These
fabrics produce somewhat stronger, stiffer laminates than woven
fabrics, because the rovings do not undulate as they would in a
conventional fabric. It is also possible to stitch together layers or
plies with different fiber orientation, including 45 plies, as well
as 90 ones.
C-glass
C-glass is chemically resistant glass, used as a protective layer in

the manufacture of pipes and other GAP
components exposed to aggressive environments. Unlike E-glass,
C-glass, which is manufactured by a different process, is not
available in the form of continuos rovings. It is supplied as a nonwoven mat, known as surface veil. The use of C-glass is intended
to provide a resin rich barrier layer between a particular fluid
environment and the main stress-bearing part of the laminate.
Other special glass and

ceramic fibers
In addition to E-glass, there is range of glassy

reinforcements of alternative composition, designed to give
either superior mechanical performance or resistance to certain
types of environment. These types of glass reinforcement are
more expensive than E-glass, by a factor of 5 to 30, depending
upon the material. S-glass, S2-glass and A-glass offer substantial
strength and small stiffness improvements over E-glass, while
ECR- glass offers enhanced resistance to certain types of
corrosive environment. The use of these special glasses offshore
is not currently significant, but could grow.
Silica and aluminia fiber's have much better high temperature
performance than E-glass, which softens well below 10000C.
Benefits can therefore be achieved by combining small amounts
of these fiber's with E-glass when hydrocarbon fire resistance is
needed.
May 1998
The nature of
thermosetting resins
Polymers consist of long organic chain molecules. They are

held together by two types of bond: the strong covalent
bonds joining the atoms within the chains and the weak Van der
Waals bonds which are between adjacent chains. If the chains are
linear, the polymer can be melted or softened to allow it to be
shaped, then cooled again.
Resins of this type are known as thermoplastics. If, on the other
hand, the chains are bridged or cross-linked to form a molecular
network, a polymer is obtained which cannot be melted and
cannot be easily deformed without either fracture or
decomposition taking place. This type of polymer is known as a
thermoset.
Although there is interest in using thermoplastic polymers as the
basis for composites, thermoplastics matrix composites are still at
an early stage of development, and hence are unsuitable for large
structures. All the resins of current interest for offshore use are of
the thermosetting type.
Typical characteristics of thermosetting polymers are that they
usually have stiffness values in the range 2-4 GPa, depending on
the degree of cross linking, with strength values around 40-70
MPa and, being bound together chemically, they are capable of
relatively little plastic deformation. Hence they cannot be shaped
by flow or plastics deformation. It follows that when fabricating
composite parts. from thermosetting polymers the shaping
operation must be carried out at the same time as the chemical
reaction that establishes the cross linked network. The crosslinking process, known as curing, can be carried out in two
different ways. In the case of cold curing, the cross-linking
reaction is started by mixing together components which react. In
hot curing, the sequence of reactions which produces crosslinking is initiated by raising the temperature.
The cure reaction often fails to go to completion initially. In
C most cases, the properties of the composites are
considerably improved if a post-curing operation is carried
out. This is usually done by placing the component in an oven for
several hours at elevated temperature. Sometimes, however, the
size or shape of the component may prevent this.
Thermosets become softer as temperature is increased, but do
not melt in the way that thermoplastics do. At an elevated
temperature, large segments of the molecules eventually become
mobile and the Modulus falls to a low value. The
temperature where the Modulus drops most sharply is called the
glass transition temperature or Tg. This temperature is often
taken as an approximate indication of the maximum service
temperature of the resin. Eventually, at some temperature in
excess of the glass transition temperature, the resin will begin to
decompose.
May 1998
Polyesters
These are the resins most commonly used in the manufacture of

thermosetting composites in the uncured state they consist of a
polymer, an unsaturated polyester resin. Unsaturated means that
the backbone chain contains some carbon-carbon double bonds.
The polyester is dissolved in a reactive monomor, usually styrene.
To cure the resin, a peroxide initiator must be added, which
decomposes to produce free radicals which act on the styrene
monomor, causing it to polymerise. The polymerisation takes
place by the opening up of the double bonds in the styrene and
the double bonds in the polyester chain are also involved in this
reactions, leading to a molecular network where the polyester
chains are cross-linked by polystyrene ones, as shown
schematically in figure
2.
Scheme of the filament
winding process
Figure 2. Schematic representation of the cure mechanism of

polyester resins
In cold -cured polyesters, the decomposition of the peroxide

initiator is catalysed by adding an accelerator, usually a cobalt
salt. In hot-cured resins the peroxide decomposition is triggered
simply by increasing the temperature.
The constituents of the polyester chain can be varied to confer the
desired properties on the final polymer. For instance, the density
of the cross-links can be controlled by varying the number of
double bonds in the chain, known as the reactivity of the resin.
Resins with high reactivity produce highly cross-linked products
which have a high glass transition temperature and good chemical
resistance, but which are somewhat brittle at room temperature.
Low reactivity resins give a lower level of cross-linking, a lower Tg
and less chemical resistance, but are tougher at room
temperature.
May 1998
The advantage of the free radical cure mechanism is its ease of

control. The uncured resins are fairly stable and have a long shelf
life but when they are required to cure, the reaction may be
brought about rapidly and controllably. The period of time for
which the resins remain processable after the curing system has
been added is known as the pot life. Different pot lives are
required according to the size of the laminating operation and the
process used. The rate of cure can be varied by changing the
amount of curing agent added, and additionally, a delay in the
onset of curing, which may be needed for instance when
laminating large structures, can be achieved by adding an
inhibitor. The polyesters also have some disadvantages. The cure
reaction is temperature sensitive, so the environmental
temperature must be held within certain limits. The resins also
tend to emit styrene vapour during processing, which is
undesirable from a health and safety viewpoint. Good ventilation
is required when laminating large areas.
Epoxy Vinylesters
These resins are, to a certain extent, a chemical

compromise between epoxies and polyesters. The
unsaturated polyester is replaced by an epoxy-like one,
which is much more chemically and thermally resistant.
Moreover, the styrene content is decreased. The curing
mechanism is similar to that of the polyesters, although more
accurate control of the quantities of curing agent added is
essential, as the cure reaction is less tolerant of
compositional variations than in the case of polyesters.
Epoxy vinylesters, or simply vinylesters or variants of this
system are used in place of polyester when improved
toughness and chemical resistance is needed.
Epoxies
Epoxy resin systems generally consist of two separate

ingredients which must be mixed immediately prior to
processing. One of these is the epoxide or resin part of the
system. Although the constituents of the molecule may be
varied to achieve certain final properties, the key
characteristic is the epoxide or ring like structure at each end
of the molecule, and the fact that there are a number of -OH
groups present on the chain. The cross-linking reaction may
involve both the end groups and the hydroxyl (-OH) groups.
The second ingredient of the resin is the hardener, which is
frequently a primary or secondary amine or an acid anhydride. For
wet laminating and filament winding, the main offshore uses,
amine cured epoxies are preferred. Two different types of amine
may be used; aliphatic amines or aromatic amines.
Aromatic amines give the highest Ta values, and the best
mechanical and chemical properties at high temperature, but they
are most expensive. Aliphatic amines are less expensive and
below 100C their cured resin properties are at least as good as
those of aromatic amines. They do, however, require careful post
curing.
May 1998
Unlike the polyester resins, epoxies lake longer to cure during

processing. Anhydride cured epoxies have excellent properties
and are used in prepeg systems for aerospace and also in large
quantities in piping Systems.
In the case of epoxy prepregs, the reinforcement is impregnated
with resin and cure allowed to progress to an intermediate B-stage
where it is halted. The prepeg is then kept at low temperature until
it is needed for moulding. Prepreg systems are much more
expensive than composites produced by the "wet resin route", but
they do produce products with excellent properties. Some
companies with in-house pre-pregging facilities are beginning to
use prepeg systems for marine construction.
Phenolics
These are the oldest class of synthetic polymers. Recently, many

improvements have taken place in the chemistry of
these resins, which have rendered them suitable for use in
composites. There are two main types of phenolic resin which am
distinguished by the type of curing agent used.
The majority of the liquid resins processed by cold cure are
hardened by the addition of a strong acid catalyst. The catalyst
can cause problems with corrosion of mould tooling and there can
also be difficulties with the alkali content of glass fiber
reinforcements from certain sources, which can interfere with the
action of the curing agent. Most phenolic resins contain a certain
amount of water, and further water is evolved during the cure
reaction. Although most of the water can be removed by a high
temperature post cure, this usually leaves the matrix with a
number of microvoids. Despite this, and despite the fact that the
matrix is relatively brittle in the un-reinforced state, phenolic resin
composites have good mechanical properties, which at room
temperature are comparable to those of composites based on
isophtalic polyester. Because of the presence of the microvoids,
phenolics show a higher level of water absorption than the other
resins but there is little evidence as yet that this causes any long
term deterioration of properties.
The outstanding feature of phenolic resins, which has proved the
driving force behind the development of more easily processed
grades, is their fire performance. They possess relatively good
levels of integrity at high temperatures, have low smoke and
toxicity as well as low levels of heat release. For these reasons,
they may well be the only resin systems which can be tolerated in
laminates facing in critical area's such as accommodation
modules and safe havens. The reason for the good performance
of these resins in tire is that instead of decomposing and
volatilising at high temperatures, the aromatic ring structure in
phenolics condenses progressively, eventually producing a
carbonaceous char, which persists for some time. However, a
disadvantage of phenolics in fire is that any water present in the
laminate can sometimes lead to violent delamination when it
volatiles.
May 1998
Because of their generally attractive attributes in fire, there have

been attempts recently to develop grades or resin that can be
processed by pultrusion. These have met with some limited
success, and there are now two manufacturers in Europe offering
phenolic matrix pultrusions.
Phenolic resins are also used as the basis for foams, which have
excellent insulating properties, combined with low
toxicity. They are unfortunately very friable, which greatly restricts
their feasibility for use as a core for sandwich
panels.
There are, however, a number of phenolic based syntactic core
materials which contain various lightweight mineral
fillers bonded together in a phenolic matrix. Some of these
materials have exceptionally good burn-through
characteristics are therefore viable core materials for heat and
blast protections panels.
In addition to the acid-cured phenolics, there is another class,
known as novolacs, which are cured by alkaline agents. These
resins are favoured for hot cure processes such as press and
prepeg moulding. Recently, to overcome the problems of both
acid and base cured resins, new "neutral curing systems have
been introduced.
Filament-Winding
This is the process by which composite pipework is manufactured,

but which has also the potential to be used for large complex
structures. There are several configurations, but in the most
common one, shown in Figure 3, continuous tows of
reinforcement are drawn through a resin bath to wet them and
then applied, via a transversing feed eye, to a rotating mandrel.
The speed of the feed eye relative to that of the mandrel
determines the winding angle. For pressure piping, a winding
angle of t 550 is normally used. Modern winding machines are
numerically controlled to lay down a precisely controlled number
of covers of reinforcement. For chemical resistance, pipes are
usually provided with a resin rich inner linen This is applied
to the mandrel in the form of a non-woven scrim, soaked in resin.
The reinforcement in the scrim may be either C-glass of nonwoven polyester fabric.
Filament winding is not limited to simple cylindrical shapes:
pipes with bell ends may be wound, as may pressure vessels or
storage tanks with wound in ends. Large structures such as
storage tanks and silos may also be produced by filament
winding. In some cases as with large tanks, the process may be
simplified to one of hoop winding, to minimise the rate at which
the feed eye must transverse the mandrel. When this is done,
spray lay-up of randomly oriented fiber's is often employed in
addition to the hoop winding to give the structure the necessary
transverse strength.
May 1998
The process is not limited to axi-symmetric structures:

prismatic shapes and more complex parts, such as tee-joints may
be wound on machines equipped with the appropriate number of
degrees of freedom. Complex shapes which have been
successfully filament wound include rocket motor casings1 aircraft
fuselages and railroad hopper cars.
In the introduction of pipework, impregnated lows are wound onto
waxed, preheated steel mandrels. After winding these are
removed from the machine to an oven for curing and post curing,
during which the mandrel is continuously rotated to maintain
uniformity or resin content around the circumference. After curing,
the pipe is removed from the mandrel, either by a hydraulic
extractor or by the application of internal pressure. Although most
filament winding operations are batch processes, it is possible to
filament wind continuous pipework.

Calculation Manual for Bondstrand GRE Pipe Systems
1. Introduction
In this Technical Bulletin an overview is given of commonly used

formulas in relation with Glassfibre Reinforced Epoxy piping.
2. Pipe wall thickness
The minimum required walithickness of the pipe is based on design

codes as ASME and ANSI. To most products an inferior liner is added,
consisting of C-veil and resin.
3.Trust forces due to

temperature, pressure
and variation in length
On many occasions the pipe is fabricated to pressure as well as

a varying temperature of the medium. Pressure variation will
cause a length change if the product is unrestrained and due to
the Poisson effect an increase in pressure will shorten the pipe. This is
alas mathematically explained. Expension and contraction due to
temperature variations and internal pressure will either combined or
individual result in thrust forces on the anchoring points
4.Support and Guide

spacing
The formulas for the calculation of the optimal distance between

two supports or guide spacings for single, partial and
continuous spans are given. The calculations take into account density
of the liquid and the weight of the pipe.
5. Bending radius
A slight gradual change in direction or deviation of the pipe may be

obtained by using the flexibility of the pipe. In that case the allowable
bending radius of the glass reinforced epoxy pipe can be calculated
6. Collapse resistance for

liquid
When the external pressure on the pipe may exceed the internal
pressure one has to take into account the collapse resistance of
the pipe This is ruled by equations which differs from those for internal
pressure.
7. Pipe-ring stiffness
To make calculations for earth and wheel-loads on buried pipe, values

have to be used like STIS (= Specific Tangential Initial Stiffness), STES
(= Specific Tangential End Stiffness) and other values, as used in the
U.S.A., Stiffness Factor and Pipe Stiffness.
8. Waterhammer and
surge
Changes in velocity of fluids cause changes in pressure.

Especially when these velocity changes are sudden, they can result in
high forces, which may harm the piping system
9. Head loss or pressure

drop for liquid flow
Head loss or pressure drop can be calculated by using the

Hazen-Williams equation for water and the Darcy-Weisbach for
laminar flows, e.g. for oil. Head loss in fittings are calculated by defining
a corresponding pipe length.

Calculation Manual for Bondstrand GRE Pipe Systems
1. INTRODUCTION
This manual presents the calculations, used by Ameron to calculate the

various aspects related to glass reinforced epoxy (GRE) pipe.
This will help the reader to understand the equations which govern
certain common engineering cases of GRE pipesystems. Also these
equations can be used to make the required calculations.
When making these calculations the input data shoutd be based on the
physical mechanical properties, diameter and walithickness of Ame ron
products by: The spreadsheet presented by Ameron in its documentation
gives these values.
2. PIPEWALL THICKNESS BASED ON INTERNAL PRESSURE

2.1 Wall Thickness
The minimum pipewall thickness is calculated with the formula according

to
ASME I ANSI B31 .3 [1] (Paragnaph A304.1 .2):
ts =
Dp
2 sF + P
(1)
ASTM D-2992 [2] uses the same type of formula to calculate the hoop
stress as follows:
=p
( Da ts )
2ts
(2)
The above mentioned formula has been rearranged to induce the

internal liner and is used by Ameron to calculate the minimum reinforced
wall thickness of Bondstrand pipe as follows:
Minimum reinforced wall thickness in [m]:
ts =
p(d + 2t1)
2sts
p=
2s p
d = t = 2t1
(3)
Minimum total wall thickness in [m]:

t = ts + t1 +ta

Calculation of blocking saddles
Description
This sheet shows a calculation of maximum allowable forces that can be restrained
by a so called blocking saddle. In the schematic overview of a typical blocking
saddle assembly is given in the picture below.
Schematic overview of
a typical blocking
assembly
Figure 1.
Figure 1.
To be able to calculate the maximum allowable force acting on a saddle, the
allowable shear stress in the bonded surface has to be calculated first. A two
component Ameron type of adhesive should be used which has a shear stress of
5N/mm2. When a safety factor of 4 is required, the shear stress value to be used is:
= 1.25 N/mm2
The maximum allowable force F can than be calculated using the following formula,
using 2 saddles each 180 , so mounting
is 360 around the pipe:
F= A = (2*180/360) min OD L

The results given in table 1. are based on the outer diameter of Bondstrand
series 3410 (10 bar rated pressure). Therefore, calculation for higher pressure
classes (resulting in thicker wall) will be more favourable.
