ASTM D3262: This specification covers machine-made fiberglass pipe, 8 in. (200 mm) through 156 in. (4000 mm), intended for use in gravity-flow systems for conveying sanitary sewage, storm water, and some industrial wastes. Both glass-fiber-reinforced thermosetting-resin pipe (RTRP) and glass-fiber-reinforced polymer mortar pipe (RPMP) are fiberglass pipes.
AWWA C950: This standard describes the fabrication and the testing of nominal 1-in. through 156-in. (25-mm through 4,000-mm) fiberglass pipe and joining systems for use in both above ground and below ground water systems. Service and distribution piping systems and transmission piping systems are included.
ISO 23856: This standard is applicable to circular pipes, fittings and their joints of nominal sizes from DN 50 to DN 4000, which are intended to be used for the conveyance of water, sewage and drainage at normal service conditions, with or without pressure.
DIN 16965: This is a German standard for Wound Glass Fibre Reinforced Polyester Resin (UP-GF) Pipes, defining requirements for material, construction (like filament winding or hand lay-up), dimensions, and types (A, D, E) for pipes used in fluid transport, focusing on chemical resistance and mechanical strength. It covers various parts for different pipe types, fittings (tees, reducers, elbows), and manufacturing methods, ensuring these composite pipes meet specific performance standards for pressure and chemical environments.
Unique Selling Points (USPs)
