Standard Test Method for External Pressure Resistance of “Fiberglass”<brk /> (Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Thermosetting-Resin) Pipe
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 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 10.1 or 10.2. 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.
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 polymer 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 2: There is no known ISO equivalent to this standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

4. Summary of Test Method
4.1 This test method consists of loading a specimen to
failure in a short time interval by means of incrementally
increasing external fluid pressure at a controlled constant
temperature. Fluid is also maintained inside the pipe, and
changes in the inside volume are monitored with a bleed hole
and fluid level tube. On Cartesian coordinates, pressure versus
change in volume is plotted and the failure pressure selected as
indicated by the graph. Scaling constants are presented for
extending the results to other diameters.
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 10.1 or 10.2. 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

3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:
3.2.1 aggregate, n—a siliceous sand conforming to the requirements of Specification C33C33/C33M, except that the requirements
for gradation shall not apply.
3.2.2 buckling failure pressure— the external gage pressure at which buckling occurs. Buckling is characterized by a sharp
discontinuity in the pressure-volume change graph and subsequent fracture in the test specimen appearing as an axially oriented
crack. Buckling is an elastic instability type of failure and is normally associated with thin-wall pipe.
3.2.3 compressive failure pressure—the maximum external gage pressure that the specimen will resist without transmission of the
testing fluid through the wall. Compressive failure pressure will not be associated with a sharp discontinuity in the pressure-volume
change graph nor lead to a fracture appearing as a sharp axially oriented crack. It will appear as a fracture which is the result of
reaching the compressive strength limits of the material and is normally associated with thick-wall pipe. Failure is usually
identified by a sudden drop in pressure.
3.2.4 fiberglass pipe, n—a tubular product containing glass fiber reinforcements embedded in or surrounded by cured
thermosetting resin; the composite structure may contain aggregate, granular, or platelet fillers, thixotropic agents, pigments, or
dyes; thermoplastic or thermosetting liners or coatings may be included.
3.2.5 leaking pressure—the external gage pressure at which the test fluid is transmitted through the pipe wall. It is characterized
in this test by continuous volume change indications with no pressure increase.
3.2.6 reinforced polymer mortar pipe (RPMP), n—a fiberglass pipe with aggregate.
3.2.7 reinforced thermosetting resin pipe (RTRP), n—a fiberglass pipe without aggregate.
