(Specification)Standard Specification for Fiberglass (GRP) Pultruded Open-Weather Storm and Guard, Square Railing Systems
Standard Specification for Fiberglass (GRP) Pultruded Open-Weather Storm and Guard, Square Railing Systems
ABSTRACT
This specification provides the material requirements, construction, installation, and testing requirements for open-weather deck, storm-and-guard, fiberglass square railing systems. Components are to be manufactured by the pultrusion process. Handrails and stanchions shall be fiberglass pultruded square tube available in the following two types: Type 1F and Type 2F. Test at least one end stanchion and one other stanchion of each platform or deck by application of a load horizontally in accordance with the specification.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification provides the material requirements, construction, installation, and testing requirements for open-weather deck, storm-and-guard, fiberglass square railing systems. Components are to be manufactured by the pultrusion process.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 9, of this specification: 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.

3. Terminology
3.1 pultrusion—process of pulling fiberglass rovings (strands), mats, and other forms of reinforcements such as woven fiberglass
through baths of thermosetting liquid resin, and then through a heated forming die (made of steel) to form a completed composite
fiberglass structural shape.
3.1.1 Discussion—
The heated die causes a chemical reaction to be initiated in the resin. The liquid resin molecules will cross-link and develop into
a hardened plastic that is reinforced with the fiberglass.
