Pigments
The manufacturer shall provide the hydrostatic design stress of the pipe
and joints, determined in accordance with API 15HR.
b)
The RTR pipe sizing equations in API SPEC 15HR (high pressure pipe)
are based on the Hydrostatic Design Stress (HDS) SS. ASTM D2992
establishes the procedure for obtaining the Hydrostatic Design Stress (HDS)
and, for complex-shaped fittings, the Hydrostatic Design Pressure (HDP),
which are used in design for sizing RTR pipe and fittings. For high pressure
pipe the ASTM D2992 procedure can be described in five steps:
Step 1 - A minimum of 18 specimens are exposed to a series of constant
internal pressures, at a controlled temperature, and the time to
failure is measured for each pressure. These failure tests are
conducted in accordance with ASTM D1598 with some
adjustments described in ASTM D2992. High pressure pipes can
be tested under static pressure or under cyclic pressure in
accordance with procedure ASTM D2143.
Step 2 - The failure pressures (or hoop stress) versus times to failure are
plotted on a log-log scale. The plot is extrapolated to obtain the
Long Term Hydrostatic Strength (LTHS) and the Long Term
Hydrostatic Pressure (LTHP), typically defined for failure
projected at 20-years of service. Since experimental failure plots
contain a statistical scatter, a 95% Lower Confidence Limit (LCL)
is used to obtain the LTHS and LTHP.
Step 3 - The LTHS and LTHP are converted to a Hydrostatic Design Basis
(HDB) for cylindrical pipes and fittings and the Pressure Design

Fittings in Water and Hydrocarbon Services
6.3
The pressure rating of high pressure RTR pipe shall be established by the
manufacturer in accordance with API SPEC 15HR, Equation (1) or
Equation (2) corrected to include the Service Factor Sf = 0.67.
b)
The manufacturer shall provide the 95% Lower Confidence Limit (LCL)
of the Long-Term Hydrostatic Strength (LTHS) at 20 years, developed in
accordance with ASTM D2992 Procedure B at the specified design
temperature or higher.
c)
The pressure rating of high pressure RTR fittings and components shall be
established by the manufacturer in accordance with API SPEC 15HR,
Section 5.1.2.
d)
The manufacturer shall correct the pressure rating of the piping and fittings
to account for the chemical degradation caused by the fluid for the 20 year
design life. The correction factor for temperature and fluid environment
shall be conducted in accordance with API 15HR Annex G.
b)
01-SAMSS-042
Reinforced Thermoset Resin (RTR) Pipe and
Fittings in Water and Hydrocarbon Services
The pipe specimens are conditioned at the required temperature, and then
the pressure is steadily raised until failure occurs between 60 to
70 seconds. This test provides useful information if the system will be
subjected to pressure transients (such as water hammer) which exceeds the
rated pressure of the pipe or fitting. It is recommended in the design
standard that a sufficiently thick pipe be selected so that, even in case of
pressure transient, the rated pressure is not exceeded. The maximum
allowed surge pressure is 1.5 design pressure of the pipe.
6.4
6.5
6.6
b)
b)
The design of buried RTR pipe requires the determination of the pipe
stiffness (PS), as well as the ovality limit of the pipe. The stiffness shall be
calculated in accordance with D2412 for each pipe. The ovality shall be
measured by the difference in the largest and smallest cross-sectional axes.
b)
The design of RTR pipe may require the pipe to resist external
pressure/vacuum for example when the pipe operates at sub-atmospheric
pressure, or when the pipe is under the water table or vacuum created by
the operation of an upstream valve. The external pressure resistance of

6.8
The resin of pipe and fittings shall have a glass transition temperature Tg
greater than or equal to the larger of (a) 95C and (b) the design
temperature plus 30C.
b)
Fire Performance
Fire endurance requirements for pipes based on system and location are specified in
Section 2, Table 3 of ABS Guide for Certification of FRP Hydrocarbon Production
Piping Systems. However, fire is not a concern for buried crude oil and water injection
application. The fire endurance rating code IMO L1, L2, L3, or L3-WD is to be
assigned to RTR piping components upon the satisfaction of the fire endurance testing
described below.
7.1
Level 1
Piping under dry conditions endures a hydrocarbon fire for a minimum duration
of one hour without loss of integrity is considered to meet IMO Level 1 fire
endurance standard (L1).
7.2
Level 2
Piping under dry conditions endures a hydrocarbon fire for a shorter, but still
appreciable period without loss of integrity is considered to meet IMO Level 2 fire
endurance standard (L2). The duration selected for the L2 test is 30 minutes.
7.3
Level 3
Water filled piping endures a local fire for a minimum duration of 30 minutes
without losing its ability to function satisfactorily after the fire has been
extinguished is considered to meet IMO Level 3 fire endurance standard (L3).

Flame Spread
All pipes except for those fitted on open decks and within tanks, cofferdams,
void spaces; pipe tunnels and ducts are to have low flame spread characteristics.
The test procedures in IMO Resolution A.653 (16), modified for pipes as
described in Section 9, are to be used for determining the flame spread
characteristics. Piping materials giving average values for all of the surface
flammability criteria not exceeding the values listed in IMO Resolution A.653
(16) (surface flammability criteria of bulkhead, wall and ceiling linings) are
considered to meet the requirements for low flame spread. All pipes shall be
certified fire resistant by testing to ASTM E84 with a flame spread rating not to
exceed 20 or by meeting the requirements in IMO Resolution A653 (16).
