4 Layout requirements
4.1 General
GRP products are proprietary and the choice of component sizes, fittings and material types can be
limited depending on the supplier. Potential vendors should be identified early in design to determine
possible limitations of component availability. The level of engineering support that can be provided by
the supplier should also be a key consideration during vendor selection.
Where possible, piping systems should maximize the use of prefabricated spoolpieces to minimize
the amount of site work. Overall spool dimensions should be sized taking into account the following
considerations:
— limitations of site transport and handling equipment;
— installation and erection limitations;
— limitations caused by the necessity to allow a fitting tolerance for installation (“cut to fit”
requirements).
The designer shall evaluate system layout requirements in relation to the properties of proprietary
piping systems available from manufacturers, including but not limited to the following:
a) axial thermal expansion requirements;
b) ultraviolet radiation and weathering resistance requirements;
c) component dimensions;
d) jointing system requirements;
e) support requirements;
f) provision for isolation for maintenance purposes;
g) connections between modules and decks;
h) flexing during lifting of modules;

SIST EN ISO 14692-3:2017
ISO 14692-3:2017(E)

i) ease of possible future repair and tie-ins;
j) vulnerability to risk of damage during installation and service;
k) fire performance;
l) control of electrostatic charge.
The hydrotest provides the most reliable means of assessing system integrity. Whenever possible, the
system should be designed to enable pressure testing to be performed on limited parts of the system
as soon as installation of those parts is complete. This is to avoid a final pressure test late in the
construction work of a large GRP piping system, when problems discovered at a late stage would have a
negative effect on the overall project schedule.
4.2 Space requirements
The designer shall take account of the larger space envelope of some GRP components compared to
steel. Some GRP fittings have longer lay lengths and are proportionally more bulky than the equivalent
metal component and may be difficult to accommodate within confined spaces. If appropriate, the
problem can be reduced by fabricating the pipework or piping as an integral spoolpiece in the factory
rather than assembling it from the individual pipe fittings.
If space is limited, consideration should be given to designing the system to optimize the attributes of
both GRP and metal components.
4.3 System supports
4.3.1 General
GRP piping systems can be supported using the same principles as those for metallic piping systems.
However, due to the proprietary nature of piping systems, standard-size supports will not necessarily
match the pipe outside diameters.
The following requirements and recommendations apply to the use of system supports.
a) Supports shall be spaced to avoid sag (excessive displacement over time) and/or excessive vibration
for the design life of the piping system.
b) In all cases, support design shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines.
c) Where there are long runs, it is possible to use the low modulus of the material to accommodate
axial expansion and eliminate the need for expansion joints, provided the system is well anchored
and guided. In this case, the designer shall recognize that the axial expansion due to internal
pressure is now restrained and the corresponding thrust loads are partly transferred to the
anchors.
d) Valves or other heavy attached equipment shall be adequately and, if necessary, independently
supported. When evaluating valve weight, valve actuation torque shall also be considered.
NOTE Some valves are equipped with heavy control mechanisms located far from the pipe centreline
and can cause large bending and torsional loads.
e) GRP piping shall not be used to support other piping, unless agreed with the principal.
f) GRP piping shall be adequately supported to ensure that the attachment of hoses at locations such
as utility or loading stations does not result in the pipework being pulled in a manner that can
overstress the material.
Pipe supports can be categorized into those that permit movement and those that anchor the pipe.

The following requirements and recommendations apply to GRP piping support.
a) In all cases supports shall have sufficient length to support the piping without causing damage and
shall be lined with an elastomer or other suitable soft material.
b) Point loads shall be avoided. This can be accomplished b

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 14692-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and offshore structures

3 Layout requirements
3.1 General
GRP products are proprietary, and the choice of component sizes, fittings and material types may be limited
depending on the supplier. Potential vendors should be identified early in design to determine possible
limitations of component availability. The level of engineering support that can be provided by the supplier
should also be a key consideration during vendor selection.
Where possible, piping systems should maximize the use of prefabricated spoolpieces to minimize the amount
of site work. Overall spool dimensions should be sized taking the following into consideration:
 limitations of site transport and handling equipment;
 installation and erection limitations;
 limitations caused by the necessity to allow a fitting tolerance for installation (“cut to fit” requirements).
The designer shall evaluate system layout requirements in relation to the properties of proprietary pipe
systems available from manufacturers, including but not limited to:
a) axial thermal expansion requirements;
b) ultraviolet radiation and weathering resistance requirements;
c) component dimensions;
d) jointing system requirements;
e) support requirements;
f) provision for isolation for maintenance purposes;
g) connections between modules and decks;
h) flexing during lifting of modules;
i) ease of possible future repair and tie-ins;
j) vulnerability to risk of damage during installation and service;
k) fire performance;
l) control of electrostatic charge.
The hydrotest provides the most reliable means of assessing system integrity. Whenever possible, the system
should be designed to enable pressure testing to be performed on limited parts of the system as soon as
installation of those parts is complete. This is to avoid a final pressure test late in the construction work of a
large GRP pipe system, when problems discovered at a late stage would have a negative effect on the overall
project schedule.
3.2 Space requirements
The designer shall take account of the larger space envelope of some GRP components compared to steel.
Some GRP fittings have longer lay lengths and are proportionally more bulky than the equivalent metal
component and may be difficult to accommodate within confined spaces. If appropriate, the problem can be
reduced by fabricating the pipework as an integral spoolpiece in the factory rather than assembling it from the
individual pipe fittings.

ISO/DIS 14692-3
If space is limited, consideration should be given to designing the system to optimize the attributes of both
GRP and metal components.
3.3 System supports
3.3.1 General
GRP piping systems can be supported using the same principles as those for metallic piping systems.
However, due to the proprietary nature of piping systems, standard-size supports will not necessarily match
the pipe outside diameters.
The following requirements and recommendations apply to the use of system supports.
a) Supports shall be spaced to avoid sag (excessive displacement over time) and/or excessive vibration for
the design life of the piping system.
b) In all cases, support design should be in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines.
c) Where there are long runs, it is possible to use the low modulus of the material to accommodate axial
expansion and eliminate the need for expansion joints, provided the system is well anchored and guided.
In this case, the designer should recognize that the axial expansion due to internal pressure is now
restrained and the corresponding thrust loads are partly transferred to the anchors.
d) Valves or other heavy attached equipment shall be adequately and, if necessary, independently
supported. When evaluating valve weight, valve actuation torque shall also be considered.
NOTE Some valves are equipped with heavy control mechanisms located far from the pipe centreline and can cause
large bending and torsional loads.
e) GRP pipe shall not be used to support other piping, unless agreed with the principal.
f) GRP piping should be adequately supported to ensure that the attachment of hoses at locations such as
utility or loading stations does not result in the pipe being pulled in a manner that could overstress the
material.
Pipe supports can be categorized into those that permit movement and those that anchor the pipe.
3.3.2 Pipe-support contact surface
The following guidelines to GRP piping support should be followed.
a) Supports in all cases should have sufficient length to support the piping without causing damage and
should be lined with an elastomer or other suitable soft material.
b) Point loads should be avoided. This can be accomplished by using supports with at least 60 degrees of
contact.
c) Clamping forces, where applied, should be such that crushing of the pipe does not occur. Local crushing
can result from a poor fit and all-round crushing can result from over-tightening.
d) Supports should be preferably located on plain-pipe sections rather than at fittings or joints. One
exception to this is the use of a "dummy leg" support directly on an elbow or tee (or piece of pipe).
Consideration shall be given to the support conditions of fire-protected GRP piping. Supports placed on the
outside of fire protection could result in loads irregularly transmitted through the coating, which could result in
shear/crushing damage and consequent loss of support integrity. Supports in direct contact with intumescent
coatings may also alter the performance of the coating (i.e. prevent expansion of the coating under fire). This
may require application of intumescent coatings to the pipe support itself in order to protect the pipe at the
hanger or pipe support.

ISO/DIS 14692-3
Pipe resting in fixed supports that permit pipe movement shall have abrasion protection in the form of saddles,
elastomeric materials or sheet metal.
Anchor supports shall be capable of transferring the required axial loads to the pipe without causing
overstress of the GRP pipe material. Anchor clamps are recommended to be placed between either a) a thrust
collar laminated to the outer surface of the pipe or b) two double 180° saddles, adhesive-bonded to the outer
surface of the pipe. The manufacturer’s standard saddles are recommended and shall be bonded using
standard procedures.
3.4 Isolation and access for cleaning
The designer should make provision for isolation and easy access for maintenance purposes, for example for
removal of scale and blockages in drains. The joint to be used for isolation or access should be shown at the
design stage and should be located in a position where the flanges can in practice be jacked apart, e.g. it
should not be in a short run of pipe between two anchors.
3.5 Vulnerability
3.5.1 Point loads
Point loads should be minimized and the GRP piping locally reinforced where necessary.
3.5.2 Abuse
The designer should give consideration to the risk of abuse to GRP piping during installation and service and
the need for permanent impact shielding.
Sources of possible abuse include:
a) any area where the piping can be stepped on or used for personnel support;
b) impact from dropped objects;
c) any area where piping can be damaged by adjacent crane activity, e.g. booms, loads, cables, ropes or
chains;
d) weld splatter from nearby or overhead welding activities.
Small pipe branches (e.g. instrument and venting lines), which are susceptible to shear damage, should be
designed with reinforcing gussets to reduce vulnerability. Impact shielding, if required, should be designed to
protect the piping together with any fire-protective coating.
3.5.3 Dynamic excitation and interaction with adjacent equipment and piping
The designer should give consideration to the relative movement of fittings, which could cause the GRP piping
to become overstressed. Where required, consideration shall be given to the use of flexible fittings.
The designer should ensure that vibration due to the different dynamic response of GRP (as compared with
carbon steel piping systems) does not cause wear at supports or overstress in branch lines. The designer
should ensure that the GRP piping is adequately supported to resist shock loads that may be caused by
transient pressure pulses, e.g. operation of pressure safety valves, valve closure etc.
NOTE One reference of interest is “Guidelines for the avoidance of vibration induced fatigue failure in process
pipework“, 2nd edition, 2008 by the Energy Institute. While not written for plastics, the methodology may be effective in
reducing the risk of pipe failure.

3.5.4 Exposure to light and ultraviolet radiation (UV)
Where GRP pipe is exposed to the sun, the designer should consider whether additional UV protection is
required to prevent surface degradation of the resin. If the GRP is a translucent material, the designer should
consider the need to paint the outside to prevent possible algae growth in slow-moving water within the pipe.
3.5.5 Low temperatures and requirements for insulation
The designer shall consider the effects of low temperatures on the properties of the pipe material, for example
the effect of freeze/thaw. For liquid service, the designer should pay particular attention to the freezing point of
the internal liquid. For completely filled lines, solidification of the internal fluid may cause an expansion of the
liquid volume, which could cause the GRP pipe to crack or fail. For water service, the volumetric expansion
during solidification or freezing is more than sufficient to cause the GRP pipe to fail.
The pipe may require to be insulated and//or fitted with electrical surface heating to prevent freezing in cold
weather or to maintain the flow of viscous fluids. The designer shall give consideration to:
a) additional loading due to mass and increased cross-sectional area of the insulation;
b) ensuring that electrical surface heating does not raise the pipe temperature above its rated temperature.
Heat tracing should be spirally wound onto GRP pipe in order to distribute the heat evenly round the pipe wall.
Heat distribution can be improved if aluminium foil is first wrapped around the pipe.
3.6 Fire and blast
The effect of a fire event (including blast) on the layout requirements should be considered. The possible
events to be considered in the layout design of a GRP piping system intended to function in a fire include:
a) blast overpressure, drag forces and projectile impacts;
b) fire protection of joints and supports;
c) interface with metal fixtures;
d) formation of steam traps in pipes containing stagnant water, which would reduce the conduction of heat
away by water;
e) jet fire;
f) heat release and spread of fire for those pipes in manned spaces, escape routes or areas where
personnel are at risk;
g) smoke emission, visibility and toxicity for those pipes in manned spaces, escape routes or areas where
personnel are at risk.
Penetrations (wall, bulkhead, deck) shall not weaken the division that they penetrate. The main requirements
are to prevent passage of smoke and flames, to maintain structural integrity and to limit the temperature rise
on the unexposed side. Penetrations shall therefore comply with the same requirements that apply to the
relevant hazardous divisions. This requires the penetration to have been fire-tested and approved for use with
the specific type of GRP pipework under consideration.

4 Hydraulic design
4.1 General
The aim of hydraulic design is to ensure that GRP piping systems are capable of transporting the specified
fluid at the specified rate, pressure and temperature throughout their intended service life. The selection of
nominal pipe diameter depends on the internal diameter required to attain the necessary fluid flow consistent
with the fluid and hydraulic characteristics of the system.
4.2 Flow characteristics
Fluid velocity, density of fluid, interior surface roughness of pipes and fittings, length of pipes, inside diameter
of pipes, as well as resistance from valves and fittings shall be taken into account when estimating pressure
losses. The smooth surface of the GRP may result in lower pressure losses compared to metal pipe.
Conversely the presence of excessive protruding adhesive beads will increase pressure losses.
4.3 General velocity limitations
Concerns that limit velocities in piping systems include:
a) unacceptable pressure losses;
b) prevention of cavitation at pumps and valves;
c) prevention of transient overloads (water hammer);
d) reduction of erosion;
e) reduction of noise;
f) reduction of wear in components such as valves;
g) pipe diameter and geometry (inertia loading).
The designer shall take into account these concerns when selecting the flow velocity for the GRP piping
system. For typical GRP installations, the mean linear velocity for continuous service of liquids is between
1 m/s and 5 m/s with intermittent excursions up to 10 m/s. For gas, the mean linear velocity for continuous
service is between 1 m/s and 10 m/s with intermittent excursions up to 20 m/s. Higher velocities are
acceptable if factors that limit velocities are eliminated or controlled, e.g. vent systems that discharge into the
atmosphere.
4.4 Erosion
4.4.1 General
The following factors influence the susceptibility of GRP piping to erosion damage:
a) fluid velocity;
b) piping configuration;
c) particle size, density and shape;
d) particulate/fluid ratio;
e) onset of cavitation.

oSIST prEN ISO 14692-3:2015
ISO/DIS 14692-3
The designer shall refer to the manufacturer and consider reducing the velocity if doubts exist on erosion
performance.
4.4.2 Particulate content
The erosion properties of GRP are sensitive to the particulate content. The designer shall take into account
the likely particulate content in the fluid and reduce the maximum mean velocity accordingly. For GRP, the
maximum erosion damage typically occurs at a hard-particle impingement angle of between 45° and 90°, i.e.
at bends and tees. At low impingement angles ( 15°), i.e. at relatively straight sections, erosion damage is
minimal. Further information on erosion can be found in DNV RP 0501.
4.4.3 Piping configuration
The presence of turbulence generators can have a significant influence on the erosion rate of GRP piping,
depending on fluid velocity and particulate content. The designer shall consider the degree of turbulence and
risk of
