This European Standard specifies the required properties of the piping system and
its components made from glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics (GRP) based on
unsaturated polyester resin (UP) intended to be used for drainage or sewerage,
including culverts, with or without pressure. In a pipework system, pipes and fittings
of different nominal pressure and stiffness ratings may be used together. It is the
responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to make the appropriate selections
taking into account their particular requirements and any relevant national
regulations and installation practices or codes. This European Standard is
applicable to GRP-UP, with flexible or rigid joints (see 3.33 and 3.34), primarily
intended for use in buried installations.
It is applicable to pipes, fittings and their joints of nominal sizes from DN 100 to DN
4000, which are intended to be used for the conveyance of surface water or
sewage at temperatures up to 50 °C, with or without pressure. This European
Standard covers a range of nominal sizes, nominal stiffnesses and nominal
pressures. Clause 6 is applicable to fittings made using any of the following
techniques: a) fabricated from straight pipe; b) moulded by: 1) filament winding; 2)
tape winding; 3) contact moulding; 4) hot or cold press moulding. This European
standard is applicable to the joints to be used in GRP-UP piping systems to be
used for the conveyance of water, both buried and non-buried. It is applicable to
joints, which are or are not intended to be resistant to axial loading. It covers
requirements to prove the design of the joint. It specifies type test performance
requirements for the following joints as a function of the declared nominal pressure
rating of the pipeline or system: c) socket-and-spigot (either integral with pipe or
sleeve coupling) or mechanical joint; d) locked socket-and-spigot joint; e) cemented
or wrapped joint; f) bolted flange joint. Recommended practices for the installation
of buried pipes made in accordance with this standard is addressed in CEN/TS
14578. Guidelines for the structural analysis of buried GRP-UP pipelines are
addressed in CEN/TS 14807. Guidance for the Assessment of Conformity of
products made in accordance with this standard is addressed in CEN/TS 14632.
