Standard Test Method for External Pressure Resistance of "Fiberglass" (Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Thermosetting-Resin) Pipe

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
The values obtained by this test method are applicable only to conditions that specifically duplicate the procedures used.  
After a scaling constant is determined for one diameter, this may be used for calculating the external failure pressures of other diameters as long as the resin and reinforcement (if used), the wall thickness-to-diameter ratio, and the reinforcement pattern (if reinforcement is used) are the same.  
Note 3—Based upon tests conducted on one size of pipe, a scaling constant is calculated according to 12.1 or 12.2. The appropriate constant is used to calculate failure pressure for other pipe diameters, but it can only be applied if the same resin and reinforcement are used, the wall thickness to diameter ratios are similar, and the reinforcement pattern is constant.  
In the application of the following test requirements and recommendations, care must be exercised to ensure that the specimens tested are truly representative of the group being studied.

SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers determination of the resistance of fiberglass pipe to external pressure. It classifies failures as buckling, compressive, and leaking. Both glass-fiber-reinforced thermosetting-resin pipe (RTRP) and glass-fiber-reinforced plastic mortar pipe (RPMP) are fiberglass pipes.
Note 1—For the purposes of this standard, polymer does not include natural polymers.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The SI units given in parentheses are for information only.  Note 1—There is no similar or equivalent ISO standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of he safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

5. Significance and Use
5.1 The values obtained by this test method are applicable
only to conditions that specifically duplicate the procedures
used.
5.2 After a scaling constant is determined for one diameter,
this may be used for calculating the external failure pressures
of other diameters as long as the resin and reinforcement (if
used), the wall thickness-to-diameter ratio, and the reinforce-
ment pattern (if reinforcement is used) are the same.
NOTE 3—Based upon tests conducted on one size of pipe, a scaling
constant is calculated according to 11.1 or 11.2. The appropriate constant
is used to calculate failure pressure for other pipe diameters, but it can
only be applied if the same resin and reinforcement are used, the wall
thickness to diameter ratios are similar, and the reinforcement pattern is
constant.
5.3 In the application of the following test requirements and
recommendations, care must be exercised to ensure that the
specimens tested are truly representative of the group being
studied.

that applies both hoop and axial loads as shown in Fig. 1 or the
type that applies hoop load only as shown in Fig. 2. In either
event, the report shall state which type loading was used for
test.
6.2 Volume or Weight Change Indicator—The specimen
shall be instrumented to measure changes in volume or weight.
One of the following two devices shall be used.
6.2.1 Transparent Tube—connected to the test specimen so
that the volume changes of the specimen result in changes in
the level of fluid in the tube.Ascale shall be affixed to the tube
so variations in fluid level can be recorded.Absolute measure-
ment of volume change is not required.
6.2.2 Scale—A balance accurate to within 60.1 g.
6.3 Pressurizing System—A device capable of exerting ex-
ternal fluid pressure to the specimen at a specified constant
rate. A Bourdon-tube pressure gage or recording gage with an
accuracy of6 1 % of full scale should be used, and the
anticipated failure pressure should be in the middle two thirds
of the gage range. Care should be exercised so the gage is
placed where it will give a true reading of the external pressure
on the test specimen.
