General Information
Ameron International Corporation is a multinational manufacturer

of highly-engineered products for the construction, industrial,
chemical and energy markets. The company operates businesses
in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, North America, South America
and Australasia. Traded on the New York Stock Exchange (AMN),
Ameron is a leading producer of high-performance coatings;
fiberglass pipe and composites, concrete and steel pipe systems
and specialised construction products.
With Bondstrand, Centron, Dualoy, Bondstrand PSX and
Bondstrand SSL (Steel Strip Laminate) Ameron offers the worlds
most comprehensive line of Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy (GRE)
and phenolic pipe products, representing a cost-effective alternative
to corrosion-prone metallic piping and (reinforced) thermoplastics.
The corrosion resistance and chemical inertness of Glassfiber
Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) and phenolic pipe make it expecially
suitable for service in hostile and corrosive environments. The
special characteristics of phenolic pipe with its fire resiistance and
low smoke generation, making it less toxic, demon-strate a significant
safety advantage in case of fire on for example platforms.
Furthermore, it is much lighter in weight than comparable steel pipe
and easier to install.
Ameron Fiberglass-Composite Pipe Group/Europe serves industrial,
military, marine, offshore and oilfield markets in Europe, Africa, the
CIS countries (former Russia) and the Middle East with highperformance Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) and phenolic piping
systems of up to 100 mm (40 inch) in diameter and pressure classes
of up to 245 bar (3500 psi).
High standards of performance
Ameron Fiberglass-Composite Pipe Group/Europe is a leader in
Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) and phenolic piping technology.
All pipe is manufactured using state-of-the- art computer-controlled
equipment. In order to meet industrys ever more exacting needs
for quality products and services. Ameron is certified in accordance
with ISO 9001.

The many advantages of Ameron

glassfiber reinforced pipe systems
Durable and corrosion resistant
CHEMICAL PROCESSING
Ameron GRE piping is inert to internal

corrosion from water, salt water,
industrial waste water, chemicals,
residues and bacteria. Similarly it resists
exterior corrosion even in aggressive
environments. Cathodic protection is not
required.
Lightweight easy to install

GRE pipe systems, being just a quarter to
an eighth the weight of comparable steel
pipe, are easy to install without the need
of heavy equipment.
Reduced costs
The installation cost of GRE pipe systems
are typically 80% of the costs of carbon
steel. The corrosion resistance and
resistance to UV light reduce the
maintenance costs for both aboveground and buried pipelines. The smooth
internal surface reduces the head loss
resulting in lower pump energy
consumption.
Wide range of piping systems

Ameron offers complete piping systems in
a variety of diameters and pressures for
many different application areas are
available in diameters up to 1000 mm (40
inch), pressures classes up to 245 bar
(3500 PSI) and standard lengths up to
12 m (40-feet). Including a choice of joint
systems.
Longer life
Bondstrand longevity reduces, or
eliminates loss of service or costly
shutdown.
No contamination
Bondstrand does not produce rust or
scale which could foul steam traps, valves
and other components.
Low thermal conductivity

The thermal conductivity of Glassfiber
Reinforced Epoxy is approximately 1% of
the thermal conductivity value of steel.
This means Bondstrand helps you save on
your energy costs.

Notes:
1. Span recommendations are intended for normal horizontal piping support arrangements, a
compromise between continuous spans and simple spans. but include no provision for
weights (fittings, valves, flanges, etc.) or thrusts (branches, turns, etc.).
2. Span recommendations are calculated for a maximum long-time deflection of inch (13
mm) to ensure good appearance and adequate drainage.
3. Fully continuous spans may be used with support spacings up to 20 percent greater for this
deflection; in simple spans, support spacings should be 20 percent less,

*Do not bend pipe until adhesive has cured. At rated pressure sharper bends may create
excessive stress concentrations.
Field testing
Bondstrand Series 2000 piping Systems are designed for field testing with
water at 150% of rated operating pressure.
General specifications
Pipe construction
The structural wall of Series 2000 pipe in 1-through 16-inch sizes shall have
continuous glass fibers wound at 54 helical angle in a matrix of aromatic
amine cured epoxy resin. The resin-rich liner shall consist of C-glass and
pipe resin and shall be 20 mils (0.5 mm) thick.
Fitting construction
Fittings in 1-through 16-inch shall be filament wound and made from the
same glass and resin as the pipe. The fitting liner shall be equal to the pipe
liner in both thickness and chemical resistance.
Alternatively, fittings in 2-through 6-inch sizes may be compression molded
from a material which yields a chemical resistance equal to that of the pipe.
Testing
Quality control testing-Samples of pipe and couplings shall be tested at
random to determine conformance of the materials. Each item shall be
visually inspected for workmanship.
Pipe and fittings may be hydrostatically tested by the manufacturer to 1.5
times the pressure rating, in accordance with Ameron's standard
procedures.

Bending radius
Span recommendations are based on pipes tilled with water with a specific gravity of 1000kg/rn3
and include no provision for weights caused by valves, flanges or other heavy objects.
Span recommendations are calculated for a maximum long time deflection of 13 mm to ensure
good appearance and adequate drainage.

Listings and approvals
MIL-P-29206 for jet fuel and petroleum liquids
Performance
Bondstrand Series 7000 fiberglass pipe, fittings and flanges incorporate highstrength conductive filaments to prevent accumulation of potentially
dangerous levels of static electrical charges caused by flow of fluids such as
refined petroleum products. Series 7000 piping systems are made electrically
continuous by using a conductive adhesive in the adhesive-bonded joint and
for mounting flanges. Accumulated charges are harmlessly drained from the
fiberglass pipe system by stainless steel cables embedded in fiberglass
grounding saddles. The grounding saddles are adhesive bonded to the pipe
at convenient locations.
System rating of 150 psig at 210F (10 bar at 99C).
Composition
Pipe:
Filament-wound fiberglass reinforced epoxy resin pipe with conductive
filaments in pipe wall.
Fittings:
Wide range of filament-wound epoxy resin fittings reinforced with fiberglass
strands and conductive veils employing Quick-Lock adhesive joint or
flanged ends.
Flanges:
Filament-wound epoxy reinforced with fiberglass strands and conductive
filaments.
Blind flanges:
Injection molded nonconductive epoxy in 2- to 12-inch (50 to 300 mm) sizes.
Grounding saddles:

Note:
* Stub-end-flanges are available with and without O-ring groove on the face. Specify on order.
* Up to 10 bar stub-ends without grooves can be used with elastomeric or compressed
fibre gaskets.
* For pressures of 12 bar and above, suitable O-ring seals should be used, available on
request.
* Make sure that the O-ring grooved stub-end is compatible with its counter flange,
e.g.use a stub-end without groove or another flat surface flange as counter flange.
* Maximum bolt-torque for use with O-rings seals may be calculated based on
pressure,pipe size and number of bolts. If using gaskets (maximum pressure 10 bar)
refer to the bolt-torques shown at the hubbed flanges.

3 mm.
* For pressures higher than 16 bar 3 mm thick compressed fibre gaskets, compatible with the pressure,
temperature and chemical, may be used, of which the mechanical properties should be in accordance with
DIN 3754 (IT 400) or equal.
* Please be aware that excessive torque may result in flange failure and, that therefore a torque-wrench
is required.
* Bolt tightening sequense to be diametrically opposite.

Notes:
1)
Bold insertion depth for subsequent flanges deviates from other fittings.
2)
The weights shown are for ANSI B16.5 Class 150 drilled flanges. Weights for other
drilling classes may be different. For more detailed information reference is made to
the appropriate product data.

Heavy Duty Flanges are standard available in drillings according to ANSI and ISO (DIN).
Full-face elastomeric gaskets may be used, suitable for the service pressure, service
temperature and fluid. Shore A durometer hardness of 60 5 is recommended and a
thickness of 3 mm.
Compressed fibre gaskets, 3 mm thick, compatible with the pressure, temperature
and medium, may also be used. The mechanical properties should be in accordance
with DIN 3754 (IT 400) or equal.
For maximum bolt torque refer to the appropriate Bondstrand literature. Please be
aware that excessive torque may result in flange failure and, therefore a torquewrench is required.

Stub-End Flange Rings are standard available in drillings according to ANSI and ISO
(DIN).
Stub-End Flanges are available with and without O-ring groove in the face.
Up to 10 bar stub-ends without grooves can be used with flat elastomeric or
compressed fibre gaskets.
For pressures 12 bar and above suitable O-ring seals should be used, available on
request.
Make sure that the O-ring grooved stub-end is compatible with its counter flange,
e.g. use a stub-end without groove or another flat surface flange as counter flange.
Maximum bolt-torque for use with O-rings seals may be calculated based on
pressure, size and number of bolts. If using flat face gaskets (maximum pressure 10
bar) refer to the appropriate Bondstrand literature for hubbed flanges.

BONDSTRAND
Assembly Instructions
for Quick-Lock
adhesive bonded joints
1997 Ameron - FP 170 A 11/97 (formerly BA-20). Printed in Holland.
o make the bell and spigot assembly of

Bondstrand pipe and fittings using Amerons
thermosetting adhesives, you need only follow
these step-by-step instructions. They show you how to cut
the pipe, prepare the ends, use the adhesive, stab the joint
and cure the adhesive to produce a strong and reliable
Quick-Lock joint.
To cut the pipe to length, measure the desired length

and scribe the pipe using a pipefitters wrap-around
(photo 1). Place the pipe in a vise, using 6 mm (1/4 inch)
thick rubber pad to protect pipe from damage. Cut pipe
with hacksaw, sabre saw, or abrasive wheel (photo 2).
Check the squareness of cut by inserting a pipe shaver
arbor flush in to the cut pipe. Pipe up to 100 mm (4 inches)
should be square to within 1.6 mm (1/16 inch). Larger
pipe should be square to within 3.2 mm (1/8 inch). Use a
disc grinder or file to correct squareness.
Danger: Avoid inhaling dust produced by cutting and grinding operations. Provide adequate ventilation; wear-approved dust respirators.

photo 5
Shave the cut end of the pipe using the Bondstrand

pipe shaver (photo 4). Shaving can be done manually,
but a portable power drive is advisable for larger sizes and
if shaving several sections. Measure the shaved pipe using
a Pi Taper (photo 5). See table 1 for shaving dimensions.
Note 1: Instructions for adjusting and operating the pipe

shaver to prepare the correct spigot diameter and length are
provided with the shaver or may be obtained from your
local Ameron representative. For 25 and 40 mm (1-11/2)
diameters a compact pipe shaver is available from Ameron.
Note 2: Diameters 350 and 400 mm (14 and 16) of series
2000M and 7000M have a deviating internal diameter that
need different sized arbors.

* When correct spigot lengths are taken adjusted on the shaver, the length of
the shaved pipe end will be automatically within the min. and max. size as
described above.
All fittings, sockets, pipe ends (spigots) and pipe sockets must be clean, dry and sanded within two hours of
assembly. Sanding should be accomplished using a 10-12
mm (1/2 inch) drill motor, 1700-2000 rpm (photos 6-8)
and flapper type sander with a 40-60 grit aluminium oxide
abrasive, available from Ameron. After sanding, surfaces
to be bonded should show a dull fresh finish, not a polished look. Do not forget to lightly sand the edges of the
spigot. Clean and dry sanded surfaces are necessary for
proper bonding.
Sockets with a 25 and 40 mm diameter must be sanded
with sandpaper with a 40-60 grit, since they are too small
for the flapper sander.
Danger: Avoid inhaling dust produced by sanding operations. Provide adequate ventilation; wear an approved dust
respirator.

Use table 2 to measure back from the spigot end of

each pipe to be joined (photo 10) and scribe a line
using a white grease pencil or soapstone. When the spigot
is bottomed in the socket, the scribed line will be 25 mm
(1 inch) from the end of the socket.

Match mark the two mating pieces for proper alignment. Taking care to avoid contaminating mating surfaces, fit together loosely the two pieces to be joined
(photo 11). Using a white grease pencil or soapstone,
mark each piece in a common longitudinal line for subsequent realignment (photo 12).
photo 8
photo 9
Thoroughly wipe the sanded socket and spigot with a

clean, dry cloth, or use a duster brush to remove dust particles (photo 9). If surfaces are wet, warm with
Bondstrand heating blanket until dry, then resand.
Protect the bonding surfaces from moisture during bad
weather with tenting over the working area. Do not touch
the prepared surfaces with bare hands or any articles that
would leave an oily film.
Ameron offers several chemically resistant thermosetting adhesives recommended for use in pipelines transporting most fluids (for exceptions see Bondstrand
Chemical Resistance Chart available from Ameron).
Because the acceptability for pipelines transporting food
or potable water depends on local laws and regulations,
contact your Bondstrand supplier for advice or assistance
before using adhesives in these services.
Store adhesives at temperatures below 38C (100F)

and use before the expiration date stamped on the top
flap of the package. Do not use kit if either container
shows evidence of leakage.
Select the size of adhesive kit in accordance with

table 3.

Observe the following:

(1) Use soap and water to wash skin area with which
adhesive components have come in contact. Do not use
solvents on the skin.
(2) Use water-removable protective creams to avoid allergic reactions. Solvent-removable creams are not recommended. Disposable polyethylene gloves can also be used
to avoid contact of Bondstrand adhesive with the hands.
After the joint has been properly prepared (see steps

1 through 4) and it is ready to be bonded, add the contents of the small container (hardener) to the large container (resin) and stir thoroughly for at least one minute
and until no streaks are visible in the mixture (photos
13/14).
Immediately after mixing, apply the adhesive to the surfaces to be bonded as described below. If your epoxy
adhesive mixture has started to heat in the container, discard and start a new one. Heating indicates that the mixture has started to cure.

Be aware of the working time available to you after the

adhesive is mixed.
Working times at various temperatures are stated on the
adhesive package.
If the adhesive is not within the 21C (70F) and 38C
(100F) range, you will need to warm or cool it before
mixing. The adhesive will not mix and spread well below
21C and will set up too fast above 38C.
Caution: These adhesive resins and hardeners, separately or
combined, will cause skin and eye irritation. Avoid contact
with skin and eyes. Do not take internally. In case of contact, wash skin with soap and water. For eyes, flush with
plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get medical
attention. For industrial use only. Keep away from children.

With the spatula supplied in the adhesive kit, or a reusable steel spatula, apply a layer of adhesive approximately 0.8 mm (1/32 inch) thick to the surface of the
socket (photo 15).
photo 15
photo 16
Too much adhesive on the socket will result in a flow restriction inside the joint.
Apply adhesive liberally to the entire spigot surface and a
thin layer to the cut end of the pipe. Excess adhesive on
the spigot surface will be forced out when the socket and
spigot are joined.
Correct
photo 17
photo 18
Align flanges, tees and other fittings to the matchmarks

as you assemble the spigot and socket. Avoid having to
rotate the part while assembling. Then, for flanges, check
rotational alignment of bolt holes and squareness of flange faces. Flanges with bolt holes more than 1.6 mm (1/16
inch) out of rotational alignment, flanges more than 1.6
mm out of square across the flange face, or any angular
errors of more than 1/2 degree in the axial or rotational
alignment of spigot and socket joints are likely to introduce subsequent assembly problems. If misaligned, pull
joint apart, remove adhesive from the pipe stop area,
reapply adhesive as in step 6 and rejoin before adhesive
starts to set up.
Incorrect !
7a
Without delay, insert the pipe slowly and without

rotation into the socket until the spigot end rests
firmly rests against the pipe stop (photo 17). For 150 mm
(6) pipe and larger, use a light strap winch to seat and
clamp the joint. Support the winch on a wooden bridge
across the joint so the winch can be left snug while the
heating blanket cures the adhesive. Smaller pipe (25, 40,
50, 80 and 100 mm (1, 11/2, 2, 3 and 4) is joined by tapping
on a 50x100 mm (2 x 4) wooden block placed over the
pipe end to seat the spigot in to the socket.
Fittings may be joined to pipe spigots by using one of

the two methods of Step 7a or a 1 kg rubber hammer
(Shore A Durometer 70-80) 60 to 75 mm (21/2-3) in diameter may be used to tap directly on Bondstrand fittings
for proper seating. It may be helpful or even necessary to
back up the outside radius of an elbow, tee, lateral, etc.
with a sandbag or similar shock absorber while tapping
pipe spigots into fittings.
photo 19
Check for proper seating. The scribed mark on the spigot (see step 4a) should now be 25 mm (1 inch) from
the end of the socket (photo 19).
Clean up and remove excess adhesive from outside of

joint and from front, back and inside of flange. Flange
face must be clean and free of adhesive.
8a
Cure adhesive joints as follows: Place the thermostat end of your Bondstrand heating blanket
against the assembled joint with the thermostat side
facing out from the joint. Wrap the remainder of the blanket around the joint so that any overlap will cover the
thermostat. Tie the blanket in place with any nonconducting tie.
Blanket
Flange mounting requires a special wrap. Lay the blanket flat with the thermostat down and, starting at the
thermostat end, roll up the blanket. Insert the rolled blanket into the pipe end the depth of the fresh joint, leaving
the cord and part of the blanket exposed as shown in the
sketch at the left. Fill the space inside the rolled blanket
with fiberglass insulation or some other heat resistant
material to ensure that the blanket remains snugly against
the inside joint surface.
Apply alternating current (ac) at the voltage marked

on the heating blanket and mark the starting time on
the pipe. Make sure the blanket is operating and, in fact,
heats up.
Pipe
Thermostat
Standard Wrap for Pipe
and Fitting Joints
It is always a good idea to insulate around the heating

blanket and to close the pipe ends. This is essential
when it is windy or when the air temperature is below
15C (59F). Fiberglass insulation backed with aluminium
foil generally works well. Insulation should overlap the
blanket sides about 100 mm (4 inch) each way and be tied
down near the edges to trap the heat.

Special Wrap for Flange Mounting
Caution: Joint must not be moved, vibrated, or otherwise

disturbed during cure of adhesive.
Curing.
All adhesives are cured with and Ameron-approved
heating blanket. However, the proper cure time depends
on the choice of adhesive and the conditions of service.
For a pipe-to-pipe and a pipe-to-flange connection, minimal curing time is 60 minutes. For a pipe-to-fitting joint
curing time is min. 90 minutes because wall thickness of
fittings is mostly thicker than pipe diameter. Also when
using pipe-to-pipe fittings with extra thick wall (such as
with series 2000M and 7000M) a curing time of min. 90
minutes is recommended.
Tip: Preparations for other assemblies can be handled
during this curing process.
10
Check working of heating blanket regularly to ensure the blanket is operating. When heating blanket
fails to operate correctly, e.g. by a temporary power loss,
the entire curing procedure should be repeated.

Series 2000M / 7000M sizes up to 400 mm (16) and series 2020 sizes up to 100 mm (4) are with Quick-Lock joints.
Refer to Quick-Lock assembly guide.
Taper data for Quick-Lock sizes shown within (brackets) are only shown for Taper-Bonding reducing fittings, i.e. the
minor outlet of a reducer size 500 x 400 has a taper socket. In the minor outlet of those fittings a Taper to Quick-Lock
transition-adapter has to be bonded. This makes the minor outlet Quick-Lock (male).
In cases where 2 insertion depths are shown, such as 200/290, the first figure shows the insertion depth for pipe
series 3400 and the second for pipe series 2400.
6. Shave the taper spigot.

a Maximum shaving depth / feed is 2 mm.
b Repeat the shaving action until the required spigot diameter / spigot nose thickness is
achieved (table C).
c Due to possible tolerance spreading it is recommended to use a nominal sized dummy
bell end. This may avoid too long or too short assembly lengths. If the insertion depth in
the dummy is too small, the spigot end to be shaved has to be adjusted.
shaving to insertion tolerance
d Shaving the diameter of a taper spigot 1 mm smaller, with a taper angle of 2.5 will result
in 23 mm additional insertion in the socket. For a taper angle of 1.75 this is 33 mm.
Preparing for bonding

7. Sand all bonding surfaces.
a Thoroughly sand within 2 hours from assembly.
b Use flapper wheel sanders with a small drilling machine (1700 - 2000 rpm) or emery
cloth with a grid of 60.
c Bonding surfaces must be dry and clean before sanding. Refer to step 10.
d Sanded surfaces must have a dull, fresh finish, not a polished look.

8. Dry fit and mark the joint.

a
Check the assembly length and mark pipe and fitting for alignment of elbows, flanges,
etc.
alignment mark
b Measure back from the edge of the spigot the required insertion depth plus 50 mm and
scribe a line. After assembly by pulling the joint together the scribe on the pipe should be
50 mm from the end of the bell.
insertion mark
During final assembly the spigot may slip approximately 5 mm further into the bell,
therefor the dry fitted assembly should be approximately 5 mm longer per joint.

9. Install the band clamps.

a
Install the band clamps on both components keeping sufficient space for the winches
when pulling the joint together.
Normally 2 winches will suffice. If needed more winches can be used.
10. Dry the bonding surfaces.

a
If the relative humidity is higher than 75% or if the bonding surfaces are wet they should
be dried.
b A hot air blower or Ameron heating blanket can be used.
use of winches
11. Pre-heat or cool down the bonding surfaces.

a It is recommended to keep the bonding surfaces between 15C and 40C.
b For warming up Ameron heating blankets can be used.
c If the sun will heat up the bonding surfaces to above 40C keep them in the shade if
possible.
12. Re-sand.
a
If the sanded surfaces have been contaminated, or if initial sanding took place more
than 2 hours before assembling, the surfaces should be re-sanded.
13. Clean the sanded surfaces.

a Use a clean dry cloth or brush to remove sanding dust etc.
b Do not touch the sanded surfaces after sanding and cleaning.

Never use adhesive that has started to cure. This is the case when the mixture gets
clotted and toughens.
16. Apply a thin layer of adhesive

a Use a spatula or an adhesive scraper for applying the adhesive.
b All surfaces to be bonded (sanded areas) must be completely covered with adhesive,
approximately 0.5 mm in the bell and 1 mm on the spigot.
c A too thick layer of adhesive may result in flow restrictions.

Assembling the adhesive bonding joint

17. Insert the spigot in the bell.
a
When inserting the spigot pay attention to the marks and position and keep the joint
together. Letting the spigot slip back or turning the spigot after complete insertion may
result in a bad joint.

b Hook the 2 winches in the band clamps and start pulling the joint further together in a
smooth movement until the joint is firmly fixed together and there is 50 mm between the
bell end and the mark. See step 8.
c It may be necessary to set a bridge (pieces of wood between winch cables and pipe
outside) to simplify placing of the heating blanket.
d Do not remove the winches until the adhesive has fully cured.
18. Remove excessive adhesive.

a
use of winches
For removing excessive adhesive, also from the inside if possible (flanges), a spatula
may be used.
Curing of the adhesive

19. Apply the heating blanket.
a
Wrap the required size Ameron heating blanket around the joint keeping the power
supply cable free from the blanket.
b Make sure the voltage is correct.
c The blanket should be applied as indicated in the appropriate Bondstrand Heating
Blanket Data sheet.
d The blanket should be tied down using heat resistant wire.
e Good blanket to pipe surface contact is essential for proper curing of the adhesive.
write starting time
When the temperature is below 10C or the wind has a cooling effect, insulation material
should cover the heating blanket. Insulation material should overlap the sides of the
blanket with at least 100 mm and should match to the pipe. It should not cover the
thermostat.
Open pipe ends should be closed during curing preventing cooling down by draught.
insulate heating blanket
20. Determine the curing time

a
Curing time is mainly subject to the distance (= wallthickness) between blanket and
adhesive.

piping systems
using the Key-Lock mechanical joint
Introduction
This guide provides recommendations for the installation of Bondstrand piping

systems using the Key-Lock mechanical joint. Many of the skills, techniques and
principles of steel pipe installation also apply to fiberglass piping. As you work with
Bondstrand fiberglass piping, you will find that it weighs much loss than steel and
that it is more flexible, but it must be handled more carefully than uncoated and
unlined carbon steel pipe. In addition, fiberglass pipe often needs protection against
abrasion at points of support.
To accommodate these characteristics of Bondstrand fiberglass piping, the following
installation recommendations should be followed. You are encouraged to contact
Ameron or your Bondstrand distributor for more help on specific problems or
questions.
Receiving piping
materials
Inventory and inspect all incoming shipments of Bondstrand pipe and fittings.
Unloading and handling
Pipe, except when crated, is normally unloaded as single lengths or bundles. To

prevent damage to grooved pipe ends, do not drag or slide pipe in any way that
abrades or dislodges the end protection. Do not bump pipe or grooved pipe ends.
Pipe maybe moved either by hand or by lifting equipment using nonmetallic ropes or
straps. Single-point pickup is permissible for pipe 8 inches (200 mm) and larger in
diameter in 20-foot (6 m) lengths. Two-point pickup using a spreader bar is
recommended for all other sizes and lengths.
Caution: Do not throw or drop pipe or fittings. Bondstrand product packaging is not
designed to withstand dropping from a truck onto the ground. Do not use a forklift to
handle pipe unless forks are padded with carpeting or some other suitable material.
If the inventory does not exactly match the delivery receipt, recount the materials in
the presence of the truck driver Any discrepancy in the inventory and any obvious
shipping damage must be noted on the receipt. Insist that the receipt be signed by
the truck driver. If it is evident that materials have been lost or abused, damage
claims must be initiated before accepting the shipment. Under customary shipping
procedures, title and risk of loss pass to buyer upon delivery of material to carrier
Amerons Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale require that the buyer promptly
notify both seller and carrier of any damages or shortages.
Examine pipe and fittings carefully for shipping damage. In particular examine (a)
key and 0-ring grooves on pipe ends with damaged or missing end protection, and
(b) fittings received in damaged containers. Pads which are damaged or suspected
of being damaged should beset aside and reported as stated above
Liners can be damaged to the point of allowing leakage even though

the outside surface shows no signs of mishandling. Handle all material
carefully at all times.

Storage
Pipe or pipe bundles may be stored for extended periods in stacks up to four feet
(1.25 m) high. Pipe stacks must have side supports or blocks to prevent! them from
rolling or slipping. Pipe stored in stacks should be supported using bearing boards
and spacer boards as shown in Table 1 on a level surface'. free of rocks and other
hard or sharp objects. Bearing boards under the stack and spacer boards between
the pipe layers must ensure that bell and spigot ends remain round. not distorted by
stack loads. Bearing and spacer boards should be at least three inches (75 mm)
wide and cushioned with a suitable foamed plastic or other material. More supports
may be required for telescoped (nested) pipe. Contact Ameron or your Bondstrand
distributor for advice regarding this special case.

Fittings should be removed from cartons, closely inspected and stored on shelves,
preferably inside a warehouse Extended outdoor storage may impair the exterior
appearance of fittings but will not affect their physical strength. Outdoor storage of
cartons is not recommended since they are not weatherproof.
Caution: O-ring grooves on ends of stored pipe and fittings must be

protected from direct sun.
Locking keys and O-rings are often shipped to the jobsite in cartons with the
O-rings separately packaged. Locking keys and O-rings are to be stored indoors.
Adhesives must be stored indoors at temperatures below 100 F (38 C). Extended
storage at higher temperatures will degrade the catalyst and the resin and reduce
adhesive strength.
Each adhesive kit is stamped with an expiration date. In order to monitor the storage
life remaining and to rotate the stock so that older kits are used first, all kits should
be removed from shipping cartons and stacked upright so that the expiration dates
are visible.
Preparing for
installation
Pipe in trenches: Trench construction,. bedding preparation and backfill must

conform to the project plans and specifications. If no requirements are given, refer to
ASTM D3839 and the Ameron publication, "Guide for Installing Buried Pipe, for
basic guidelines.
This guide gives permissible bending radii which may be used for either horizontal or
vertical curvature of the trench bottom (that is, the pipeline). A small deflection at
Key-Lock joints is also permissible provided that pipe-to-trench support is
maintained. The angle between adjacent pipe at keyed joints must not exceed the
values in Table 2.
Once the trench has been prepared and the sand bedding brought to grade and
compacted. the pipe sections may be lowered into place. Remove enough sand from
the graded bottom at joint locations to maintain a working clearance while
assembling the joint. Additional clearance can be obtained by placing a temporary
wooden block support under the joint during assembly. Dig block out after assembly
without lifting pipe.

Suspended pipe: Refer to the project plans and specifications for details and
locations of supports and anchors. The Ameron publication, "Bondstrand
Engineering Guide for Suspended Pipe," BEG-13, outlines general design principles
for suspended fiberglass piping systems including hanger detailing. The guide also
contains information on rates of expansion and contraction and on the design of
systems restrained against movement.
If span lengths are not shown on the plans, consult Ameron or your Bond-strand
representative for span recommendations at the operating temperature of the
system.
Bondstrand pipe should not be point supported. Place supports under pipe rather
than fittings. All shields and hangers in contact with the pipe should be free of burrs.
Provide abrasion protection for the pipe where it slides through fixed supports or
guides. Firm attachment of abrasion protection is necessary where movement is
possible between pipe and support.
Use a material compatible with service environment such as those listed below:
Bondstrand support saddles provide a clean, corrosion-free surface and act as

a stiffening saddle for the pipe. Support saddles are adhesive bonded to the pipe.
A half section of the same size pipe may be bonded to the line pipe to provide
light-duty abrasion protection for pipe eight inches (200 mm) and larger in diameter.
Elastomeric materials such as rubber, neoprene or even cut-up tire casings may
be held in place by pipe clamps or pipe insulation straps.
Fiberglass shields such as manufactured by Glas Mesh Co.*

Galvanized sheet metal may be banded to the pipe in environments where it is
expected to have a suitable service life. Recommended minimum metal gauge is
given in Table 3.
Important: Hangers and supports which clamp around saddles, shields or pads
must be sized properly and must be flexible enough to fit and grip without damage.
Check outside diameter of pipe in the appropriate Bondstrand product literature as
this varies with pressure class.

Lines which are emptied and filled during the cycle of operations may require
1
anchoring at changes in direction. Bondstrand pipe weighs approximately /6 as
much as Schedule 40 steel pipe, therefore, thrust generated at turns may move or lift
the line when it is filled rapidly.
It is sometimes advantageous to use restrained supports, especially in tunnels or

areas where space is restricted- In such cases, guides will be required at spacings
as indicated in the adjoining chart.

pipelines with blocked (restrained) ends. Solution shown assumes an initial
temperature of 60 F and a water-filled line.
Joint assembly
Preparation of Key-Lock joining surfaces: When ready to join the pipe,

remove the end protection from the male pipe end. Loosen and remove dirt and
debris from the grooves using compressed air, a clean, dry rag or a paint brush.
Clean the grooves and sealing surface of the female end or coupling. Sand oft any
projections or rough edges on the entry ramps which compress the O-ring during
insertion.
Now brush or rub a layer of Ameron lubricant into the O-ring groove of the male end
and all inside surfaces of the female end or coupling. Apply lubricant only when
you are ready to complete the joint. Keep lubricated surfaces clean and free of
sand and dirt as contamination is likely to interfere with joining and sealing. Proper
lubrication of the O-ring and joint surfaces is important to avoid cutting the O-ring or
rolling it out of place during assembly.
O-ring placement: Lubricate entire surface of the O-ring and slip it into the first
groove on the male end. Distribute the O-ring evenly in the groove by slipping a
screwdriver under it and sliding the screwdriver around the joint. As an alternative for
distributing the O-ring in pipe in sizes through 16 inches (400 mm), uses screwdriver
to lift the lubricated O-ring at top center a distance of about 20 percent of the pipe
diameter and let it snap back into the groove.
Do not gouge or abrade the O-ring. A sound O-ring is the key to a watertight
joint.
Pipe spigot insertion: Place the band clamps on either side of the joint. Rotate the
new pipe so its keyhole(s) are in proper position for driving the key(s) for the next
joint.
End protection (supplied by Ameron

should be removed just prior to assembly
to keep joining surfaces and grooves
clean.
Lubricate inside of female end and locking key groove with ample amounts
of lubricant (available on order from
Ameron). Note that the pipe already
in place has been properly rotated so
that the key-hole of the next joint
is conveniently positioned.
The male end of the pipe going in

should also be generously lubricated.
Again, make sure that the keyway is
well lubricated.
After coating the 0-ring (supplied by

Ameron) with lubricant, mount it in the
endmost groove in the male pipe end
Insert a screwdriver under the mounted
O-ring and run it around the pipe to
distribute the O-ring in the groove
Mount the band clamps (available on

order from Ameron) a convenient distance on each side of the joint, making
certain that the pipe going in is properly
positioned to allow access to the keyhole
of the following joint.
Align the pipe for a straight concentric

entry Proper alignment is essential for
joining ease.
Tighten the come-a-longs (provided by

user) on both sides so that the O-ring
enters smoothly without being pushed
out of its groove
Insert the male end until the scribe line is

about inch (6mm) from the leading
edge of the female end or coupling.
Lubricate the locking key (supplied by

Ameron) before insertion. Depending on
the project requirements, metallic or
plastic locking keys may be used.
Place lubricated locking key into the

keyhole and slowly close the joint until the
key will slip easily into the keyway
Check the pipe alignment.
Drive the locking key only until you can

see its leading end through the keyhole. If
the key is driven in too far, it may bind,
making later removal difficult or
impossible
Thanks to the reusability of the Key-Lock

mechanical joint, this slurry water pipeline
can be readily extended or relocated as
required at some future time.
Align the male end against the female end or coupling already in place for a straight
concentric entry. Proper alignment is essential for joining. Deflect the joint to conform
to the actual horizontal and vertical alignment of the trench only after the joint is fully
assembled in the straight position.
An Ameron joint puller is recommended for joint assembly. Connect the ratchet
winches to pulling rings attached to the band clamps on either side of the pipe and
ease the joint together It is often convenient to place one band clamp just behind the
female end or coupling and the other about 4.5 feet (1.5 m) from the male end.
Tighten the winches evenly on both sides so that the 0-ring enters smoothly and
without being pushed or rolled out of its groove Insert the male end until the scribed
line is about inch (6 mm) from the leading edge of the female end or coupling. To
reduce slippage you may elect to use rubber pads under the band clamps.
Straightness of entry adds significantly to the ease of assembly. Sight

along the pipe and carefully observe concentricity and uniformity of entry.
Driving the keys: Place lubricated locking keys into the insertion holes and slowly
close the joint until the keys will slip into the keyways. Check the straightness of the
entry again by sighting along the pipe and by aligning the scribe mark on the male
end with the edge of the female end or coupling.
Use a hammer or mallet to drive the locking keys through the insertion holes and into
the keyways until the leading end can be seen in the insertion hole and
approximately 3 to 4 inches (75 to 100 mm) remain projecting.
Caution: Drive the key only until you can see its leading end through
the insertion hole. If the key is driven too far, heat may elongate it and cause it to
stick, making later removal impossible.
Protect the projecting keys of piping exposed to sunlight or other ultraviolet radiation
from embrittlement. Within several days after installation, spray all exposed key
surfaces with a black acrylic coating or wrap them with duct tape. Also, fill keyholes
with caulking compound to prevent intrusion of sand and dirt which may make later
key removal difficult.
Positioning and aligning the joined pipe: After driving the keys, deflect the
joint to fit the hanger supports or trench bottom. With the pipe fully supported in its
final position, release the lifting straps: for buried pipe, extract them carefully from
under the pipe.
Note: When installing buried pipe in sag curves, it may be necessary to leave the
lead lifting strap in position to align the next joint during assembly.
To avoid excessive movement and bending at turns and branches during the
hydrostatic test, pull straight sections of joined pipe forward as assembly progresses,
using a ratchet winch or other means to remove play in the joints.
Anchoring and blocking
Suspended pipe is anchored against forces tending to move the pipe by supports which grip the pipe barrel or preferably the female end or coupling. The
magnitude and direction of these forces depend on system pressure, temperature, layout geometry and other factors. Refer to the "Bondstrand Engineering
Guide for Suspended Pipe)' BEG-13, for guidance.
It is sometimes necessary to block buried pipe especially for high pressure
or high temperature services. Refer to the Ameron publication, "The Need for
Blocking of Buried Pipe," EB-24.
Blocks on buried lines which experience temperature changes greater than
90F (50C) should encase the fitting so that the block resists the compression
or tension in the line. Alternatively, blocks may be placed on each pipe leg
adjacent to the fitting, thereby leaving the joints and fitting open to inspection.
When blocking in this fashion, bond saddles to the pipe or use special anchor
pipe from Ameron.
Cutting pipe to length
Special pipe lengths are frequently required for fit-up. When pipe is shortened by
cutting off factory-prepared ends, new male ends must be furnished by bonding on
end adaptors. Cutting and bonding often can be avoided by using factory-made short
lengths (pups) with male ends. Special tools, equipment and assembly instructions
are available from your Bondstrand distributor
Connections to other
piping
Bondstrand fiberglass piping maybe connected to either metallic or thermoplastic piping using flanges drilled to ANSI Standard B16.5, Class 150. Other
flange drillings are available on special order Bondstrand filament-wound flanges
may be bolted directly against raised-face steel flanges provided a torque wrench is
used. These flanges also seal well against lined steel configurations. Use a full-faced
1
/8-inch (3 mm) thick elastomeric gasket with a Shore A hardness of 60 5 for best
results. Consult Ameron literature for complete flange assembly instructions.
For working pressures above 300 psi (20 bar), a special machined steel adaptor is
used to form a matching male end which is then welded to the steel line. Join the
Bondstrand Key-Lock end to the steel adaptor using normal Key-Lock joining
techniques.
Important: Where Bondstrand piping is connected to metallic pipe, anchor the

metallic pipe securely at the point of connection so that expansion and contraction of
the metal line is not transferred to the Bondstrand line.
Field testing
Field testing is best and most safely accomplished using a noncompressible fluid usually water Provide taps for air and vapor removal stall high points in the system.
Trapped gases may creates hazard during test and operation of the system and may
also restrict flow or drainage. Avoid rapid filling of long lines. A rapidly moving
column of fluid has high inertia and can build explosive pressures in trapped sir
1
pockets. Recognize that at 150 psi (10 bar), air will be compressed to /10 of its
original volume and will stores considerable amount of energy.
Caution: Before testing with compressible fluids such as air or gases,

contact Ameron or your Bondstrand representative for special
recommendations.
Closures for test can be made using blind flanges or valves. A Swel-Plug positivegrip end closure. Model 4031*, is a reusable alternative.
For systems intended for noncompressible fluids. test the piping hydrostatically at the
test pressure cited in the appropriate Bondstrand product data publication for a
period of four hours. Although a drop in the gauge pressure will reveal larger leaks, a
visual surface check of pipe, fittings and joints at the end of the hydrostatic test
period will provide the best evidence of satisfactory installation.
Key-Lock joints installed with good workmanship will normally be leak-free. However,
small amounts of sand or grit, cut 0-rings or excessive joint deflection may cause
some leakage. For the field test, a leakage allowance of gallon per hour (1.89 liter
per hour) per 100 joints irrespective of pipe diameter is suggested as permitted by
NFPA 24 for private fire service mains.
Temperature has a significant influence on test pressure. Direct sun and the heat of
the day may cause pressures to rise well above the intended test pressure, possibly
overstressing piping, valves and equipment. Avoid this by bleeding off excess
pressure. Conversely falling test pressures may indicate cooling of the line; pressure
should be boosted until the cause of the pressure drop has been established.

Leak repair
Leaks in pipe and joints are repaired by replacing the faulty part. The following
procedure describes disassembly of a coupled Key-Lock joint but applies
equally for male x female joints when the pipe can be moved axially in either
direction. If the pipe cannot be moved, the female end must be cut off and replaced
by insertion of an adapter, a length of pipe (pup) and two coupled joints.
When disassembling a Key-Lock joint.. be aware of the effects of temperature on
restrained or buried lines. Disassembly will be far easier if the joint is relatively free of
tension or compression. The warmest time of the day may be best for a joint under
tension, and the coolest time best for one under compression.
Before disassembly, it may not be obvious whether the joint is in tension or
compression. Assume tension in a normally hot system after cooling and compression in a pressurized system after dropping the pressure.
Caution: Pipeline contents may be at unexpected temperatures or

pressures. Pipelines may even contain fluids other than water. Open
the line slowly and carefully to avoid injury to personnel.
Before disassembly, depressurize the line and allow it to cool,. if necessary. The
keys can sometimes be removed more easily when the pipe is relatively cool. Attach
an Ameron key extractor to the projecting keys and extract them one at a time. Next,
slide the coupling to the side until the 0-ring can be seen through the keyhole. Using
a special 0-ring retractor tool, grip the 0-ring firmly and pull a loop out of the hole.
Next, grip the 0-ring firmly using a vise-grip wrench or pliers and remove the retractor
tool, Cut the 0-ring on the short side of the loop. The keyhole is tangental to the
surface of the pipe. Thus, when the 0-ring is pulled straight out of the hole, the short
side is that half of the loop nearest the female end or coupling surface. Push the
short cut end back into the keyhole. Now pull the gripped end to remove the 0-ring.
Now slide the coupling further to the side until the second 0-ring appears and repeat
this process to extract that 0-ring. In most cases it will be necessary to remove the
coupling using this procedure at the other end of the pipe section as well.
If a locking key or an 0-ring cannot be extracted-. the joint can be disassembled by
making two or more longitudinal sawcuts through the coupling with a portable circular
saw.
Caution: When cutting a coupling, avoid cutting into the pipe surface.
After removing the damaged or faulty pipe section, determine the average distance
between the open ends of the in-line pipe. Note that once the joints of a restrained or
buried line are opened and tension or compression in the line released, the distance
between the open ends may change somewhat because of temperature changes in
the piping. In some buried systems under axial stress. the line will continue to
shorten or lengthen for a time as the pipe slowly moves through its soil envelope.
Therefore, make this measurement just before you are ready to proceed with the
replacement.
Using this average distance and allowing for joining dimensions, select an
appropriate pipe length from stock. Insertion of replacement pipe maybe facilitated
by taking advantage of temperature change during the day. One may expect a
correction of 0.025 inches in a 20-toot length for each 10 F of temperature change
(1.1 mm/6 mm/10 C).
Use new 0-rings and keys for reassembly. Slip the coupling onto one of the pipe
ends at each joint, far enough to expose the 0-ring grooves. Clean and lubricate the
joining surfaces and replace the 0-rings. Use the Ameron joint puller to ease the first
coupling back over the two spigot ends and insert the keys to complete the joint.
Repeat this process at the other end of the pipe to complete the repair.

The mounting of flanges on pipe and fittings is addressed by the assembly

instructions for the particular Bondstrand jointing system used.
Gaskets
Use full-face gaskets of an elastomer suitable for the service pressure and
temperature and fluids in the system. Gaskets should be 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick with
a Shore A durometer hardness between 55 and 65. Refer to ASTM D1330
Specification for Sheet Rubber Gaskets, Grade I or II, to establish minimum
physical property requirements for use with water, except specify a Shore A
durometer hardness of 60 5. For dimensions other than thickness, refer to Table
5 of ANSI B16.21-1978 for Class 150 full-face gaskets.
Assembly
First finger tighten all nuts. Bolt threads must be clean and lubricated to attain
proper torque. Use lubricated washers under both nuts and bolt heads to protect
flange back-facing.
Tighten all nuts following the sequences shown under tightening sequence. Do not
exceed the torque increments given in recommended bolt torques. After all bolts
have been tightened to the recommended torque, recheck the torque on each bolt
in the same sequence, since previously tightened bolts may have relaxed.
Caution: Excess torque can prevent sealing and can damage flanges.
Sealing. against valves

and other flanges
Always follow these instructions carefully when joining Bondstrand flanges to

raised-face steel flanges, flanges on lined pipe and fittings, and wafer valves of all
types. Molded flanges should not be connected to wafer valves or raised-face steel
flanges. Valves are frequently supplied with sealing details built into the flange
facing. Unless these details are known to seal without a gasket against Bondstrand
flanges, use the usual full-face, 1/8-inch thick elastomeric gasket.
Safety factors
Standard black or solid gray molded flanges in 4-through 12-inch sizes have a
safety factor to failure torque of 1.5 or greater when joined to another Bondstrand
flange or any flat-face flange in accordance with these instructions. All other
Bondstrand flanges have a safety factor to failure of 1.5 or greater when joined to a
raised-face steel flange or a valve in accordance with these instructions.

Trouble shooting
If assembled joint leaks, Ioosen and remove all bolts, nuts, washers and gaskets.
Check for alignment of assembly. Rebuild to correct alignment as required. Check the
gasket for damage. If damaged, discard and replace with new, undamaged gasket.
Check flanges for seal ring damage. In particular, check the condition of the inner seal
rings. Flanges with damaged inner seal rings must be removed and new, undamaged
flanges installed.
If leaks occur as a result of deficiencies in nonfiberglass components of the piping
system, consult the manufacturer of the defective components for recommended
corrective procedures.
Clean and relubricate old threads and washers before rejoining. Repeat the joining
procedure outlined above.
After corrective action has been taken, retest the joint to see if a seal has been made.

2. Positioning the coupling -Center

the maintenance coupling over the joint and
mark the lap length on the pipe ends. Sand the pipe ends with a belt sander using
belts with a 40-grit abrasive. Sand inaccessible areas with a flapper sander or by
hand using a '"shoeshine" method. Sand until all gloss is removed from surfaces to
be bonded. Sand the cut ends of the pipe as well.
3. Checking for snugness of fit -Fit
the parts together dry before final sanding.
The 180 inner sections placed around the pipe e-r\ds should, when held in contact
on one side, show from 0 to V8 inch separation on the opposite side. If, with zero
separation, the inner sections are not snug against the pipe surfaces, file back an
edge as required to get a snug fit. If the sections, when fitted snugly, show a
separation of more than 1/8inch, correct any misalignment of pipe ends and sand to
fit. The outer sections of the coupling should show 1/8inch or more of separation.
Hose Clamp
4. Final sanding -All

mating surfaces must be clean and dry and must be sanded
within two hours of assembly. Sand using a V4-inch drill motor at 1700-2000 rpm and
a flapper type sander with a 40- 50 grit aluminum oxide abrasive, available from
Ameron. After sanding, bonding surfaces should show a dull fresh finish, not a
polished look.
Areas to be sanded and

adhesive applied
Use special care in handling parts to avoid contamination. Handle the parts with new
gloves which are used only for this purpose or with clean, dry cotton cloths.
If the bonding surfaces are wet, warm them with a Bondstrand heating blanket until
dry, then resand. Protect the bonding surfaces from moisture during wet weather
with tenting over the work area.
5. Selecting the adhesive -Unless
the project specifications or the Bondstrand
Corrosion Guide (FP132) recommends a special adhesive for your particular service,
use Bondstrand RP34C epoxy adhesive. Instructions

for mixing and using the
Larger couplings are more difficult to handle and assemble; once the adhesive has
been mixed, the time available for assembly is limited by the adhesive pot life. A
crew of two or three is suggested when assembling 8- through 16-inch couplings.

6. Applying
the adhesive -With
the spatula supplied in the adhesive kit, apply
adhesive to completely cover the cut pipe edges, the prepared pipe ends and the
inner surfaces of the two inner sections of the coupling. Use enough adhesive so
that any excess will be forced to flow to the edges of the sections when assembled
around the pipe ends. Assemble these two inner half sections by centering them
around the butted ends of the pipe. If the potlife of the adhesive is now more than
half expired, it may be necessary to defer further assembly and cure the inner
sections. If so, clamp the sections and cure according to the instructions provided in
the adhesive kit. After curing, let the parts cool completely, remove the clamps,
resand the remaining mating surfaces, mix a new batch of adhesive and proceed as
follows.
Apply adhesive to cover completely the outer surfaces of the inner sections.
Assemble the two outer sections with the split line about 90 away from the split line
in the inner sections. Place the steel clamping straps around the assembly and draw
them tight. Remove excess adhesive for a workmanlike

Cure time is 1 hour and 15 minutes for all diameters. Apply the heating blankets in
accordance with the instructions provided with the blanket, making certain that any
overlap of the blanket covers the thermostat. It is always a good idea to insulate
around the heating blanket and to close the ends of the piping system to prevent
movement of cold air inside the pipe while the adhesive is curing.

matching taper/taper and Quick-Lock adhesive joints;

Pronto-Lock/Pronto-Lock II, and Key-Lock
mechanical joints
General
The information in this bulletin may be helpful in estimating construction costs where
Bondstrand products will be used. The tables estimate man-hours for making various
Bondstrand joints. The estimates are based on timed tests under ideal conditions: an
experienced person with all necessary materials at hand. Times do not include jigging,
measuring, planning, and other activities normally associated with piping joint fabrication.
Actual times may vary due to environmental conditions, skill and experience of the fabricator, and the equipment available. These times are based on the assumption that the
crew received limited training from an Ameron Certified Technician and they are familiar
with basic installation procedures as recommended in standard Ameron literature. Once
the crew gains familiarity with the procedure, total time may be reduced as much as
50%. The estimates are given using tools that are new or in perfect operating condition.
The cutting blades are sharp and suitable for cutting glass fibers and resin materials.
Taper/taper and
Pronto-Lock/Pronto-Lock II
Quick-Lock
Table 1 estimates installation of taper/taper adhesive joints and Pronto-Lock/Pronto-Lock

II mechanical joints. (Series 3000A, 3200 and 3300 Series)
Key-Lock and Quick-Lock
Table 3 estimates man-hours required for field fabrication of piping using both Quick-Lock
and Key-Lock joints. Key-Lock joint assembly times are based on a single key joining of a
male end of a pipe to a coupling already mounted on a pipe end fitting. For comparison,
man-hours for fabricating welded joints in selected types of metallic piping are included.
Table 2 estimates installation of Quick-Lock adhesive bonded joints.(Series 2000, 2000M,

2000M-FP, 4000, 5000, 7000 and PSX Series)
Assemblers will be experienced after a few hours of training. This gives the contractor the
option to use less skilled (and less expensive) labor than certified welders. The assembly
of Bondstrand piping generally does not require heavy lifting equipment, reducing the setup and assembly time and eliminating the need for skilled equipment operators.

Bondstrand Pipe Shavers
ondstrand pipe shavers are designed to prepare a spigot

on the cut end of a Bondstrand pipe as described in the
individual assembly instructions. Pipe is shipped from the factory with spigots, but when the pipe is cut to length on the job
site, a spigot must be shaved for assembly to the bell end of
another section of pipe, or to a fitting or coupling. Each shaver is
centered and fixed on the end of the pipe by an expanding arbor. Arbors are available for each pipe size. The arbor slips in to
the pipe and expands to grip the inside of the pipe when the
tensioning bolt(s) is/are tightened. As the frame is rotated around
the stationary centre shaft, the cutting tool advances
automaticially.
Assembly technique
For the best possible joint reliability, Ameron draws on broad
experience to provide complete assembly instructions. These
well-defined and repeatable assembly techniques help the user
avoid field-joining problems and assure succesful installation.
Training programmes and audio-visual aids are available and
are especially helpful for first-time users of Bondstrand Pipe
Shavers.

Instructions
TYPE A :
Insert the blanket flush with the end of pipe after removal of excess adhesive from the
joint and leave the power cord exposed from the joint. Ensure that the pre-formed
blanket remains snugly against the inside joint surface by locking beginning and end
with each other. At removal after the recommended curing time beware not to pull the
blanket by power cord when fixed by excess adhesive. Release first before removal in
order to avoid damage to the thermostat.
TYPE B and C:
Place the thermostat end against the assembled joint with the thermostat facing out from
the joint. Wrap the remainder of the blanket around the joint so that any overlap will
cover the thermostat.
Flange mounting requires a special wrap. Lay the blanket with the thermostat down and,
starting with the thermostat end, roll up the blanket. Insert the rolled blanket in to the
pipe end for the depth of the joint be cured, leaving the power cord and part of the
blanket exposed as shown. Keep the blanket snugly against the inside joint surface by a
flexible non metallic rod.
TYPE D:
Wrap both sides of the blanket around the pipe, the power cable is the middle of the 2
heating zones. Reverse the heating zone provided with a spacer (4) over the cold end
(5) of the other heating zone using a 2" diameter GRE spacer pipe (6) in between the
reversed end (supplied with the blanket). Keep clearance (7) in between the reversal
radius and the GRE pipe in order to release excess heat. Check if the reversal side is
not in contact with the other heating zone. Overlap causes damage. Check whether
the blanket fits snugly against the pipe surface especially the thermo couple locations.
Handling precautions
1)
2)
3)

Bondstrand RP34C
Adhesive Kit
epoxy adhesive for bonding
fiberglass pipe and fittings
Description
The RP34C epoxy adhesive kit contains an adhesive resin, hardener, mixing spatula
and assembly instructions. The adhesive resin is an off-white paste with sand filler.
The adhesive hardener is a black paste. The mixed adhesive color is black. RP34C is
a two-part amine cured epoxy resin system formulated for permanently bonding
Quick-Lock joints on Ameron fiberglass-reinforced epoxy pipe and fittings.
Instructions
Before mixing the adhesive, insure that the bonding surfaces are correctly prepared
and are clean and dry. Open the resin and hardener containers. Using the mixing spatula, scrape all of hardener into the resin container. Mix the resin and the hardener with
the spatula for at least 60 seconds. Scrape the sides, bottom and lid of the resin container occasionally to get all of the hardener into the mix. Never attempt to split a
kit. The resin and the hardener have been packaged at the correct ratio for optimum
adhesive performance.
Apply a uniform coat of the mixed adhesive to both bonding surfaces and draw the
parts firmly together. Detailed joint assembly instructions may be found in QUICK-LOCK
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, FP170.
Pot life and cure time
For installations with service temperatures below 210F (99C) and pressures below
150 psi, RP34C bonds can be put into service with ambient temperature cures as indicated in the table. (See page 2 of this section.) However, it is highly recommended that
an external heat source be used to force cure the adhesive. The adhesive and bonding surfaces should be warmed to 70F (21C) prior to mixing and applying the adhesive. Adhesive may be force cured using an Ameron-approved heating blanket. The
table also indicates the pot life (working time) of the adhesive at various temperatures.
The pot life is the time from the initial mixing of the resin and hardener until the adhesive in the container begins to thicken and is no longer usable.
For systems with anticipated service temperatures above 210F (99C) or operating
pressures over 150 psi, or when installing any system at ambient temperatures below
60F (16C), the adhesive joint must be cured with an external heat source. A heat
cure using an Ameron-approved electric heating blanket is recommended. The heat
cure may be applied at any time after the bond is made and before the line is tested
or put into service. The heat may be applied immediately after making the bond while
the adhesive is still liquid or after it has gelled to a solid.
ISO-9001
Minimum cure times of 30 minutes for 2 through 6-inch pipe and 45 minutes for
8 through 16-inch lines are recommended. Even after the adhesive has solidified at
ambient temperatures, heat curing will enhance the chemical cross-linking of the
adhesive, increasing the strength, temperature resistance and corrosion resistance of
the adhesive.

adhesive and the bonding surfaces should be warmed to 60F before mixing and applying the adhesive.
Adhesive may be force cured using an Ameron-approved electric heating blanket. When using adhesive at
ambient temperatures above 100F (38C), make provisions to keep adhesive cool to extend pot life.
2) Times indicate when cure is sufficient to permit moving the bonded joint. The minimum joint cure time
must elapse prior to hydrotesting.

6. Special Guides
Bondstrand
Guide for Installing
Buried Pipe
Introduction
To ensure long life and trouble-free
service from a piping system, proper
application of the essential principles of
excavation, laying and jointing, bedding
backfilling and field testing is required. 'If
pipe is installed by a contractor it is
equally essential that these principles be
reflected in the phrasing of contract
documents and that the customer enforce
them through its inspection.
The recommended practices presented in
this guide for the installation of buried
Bondstrand pipe are developed from the
two basic concepts outlined below. Both
should be rigorously maintained to obtain
best results.
First, the manufacturer's recommondations for assembling pipe sections and
curing the joints should be carefully
followed. Second, each section of pipe
should have its support well distributed
under the pipe rather than concentrated
at points or along a narrow portion of the
pipe bottom. This is accomplished by
providing proper bedding.
These instructions are intended to be
used as a guide and should be amended
of a specific job. Because any specification should be properly administered and
and expanded to meet the requirements
enforced, there is no assurance-specific
or implied-that inclusion of these
paragraphs in a specification will insure
a successful job; however, they should
assist materially in accomplishing this
objective.
1. Receiving, Storing and Handling of
Pipe
1.1 Inspect incoming shipments of
Bondstrand pipe and fittings for abuse in
shipping. Broken pipe bundles, crushed
fittings boxes, scratched and gouged pipe
and pipe with crushed or split ends are
evidence of such abuse. If abuse is
and pipe with crushed or split ends are
evident, damage claims procedures must
be initiated prior to accepting the shipment. Under shipping procedure, title

passes at the time of shipment.
1.2 Do not throw or drop pipe and
fittings-protect from all types of impact.
Bondstrand may he damaged by careless
handling, sometimes without exhibiting
visible effects on the pipe surface.
1.3 Pipe or pipe bundles may be stored
for extended periods in stacks up to 4
toot high. The sides must be stabilized to
prevent slumping. A leveled, soft earth
surface free of rocks and other hard or
sharp objects is recommended. If stored
in racks or on bearing boards, the
supports should beat least 3 inches wide
and smooth or cushioned. The supports
should be placed at two locations
approximately 4 or 5 foot from each end
for 20-foot lengths. For 40-foot lengths,
4 supports should be used with two of
them placed approximately 4 or 5 feet
from each end and the other two placed
at 10-foot intervals to support the middle
of the pipe.
1.4 Follow normal procedures for

stringing pipe along work site, placing
pipe where it will be protected from
traffic and impact.
1.7 For work on the pipe, such as

cutting, preparing ends, or cleaning,
two-point support is recommended for
20-foot lengths, and three-point support
for 40-foot lengths
Note: Do not place supports under bells,
spigots or factory-made joints.
2. Assembly of Pipe and Fittings
2.1 Prepare and assemble Bondstrand
Quick-Lock joints in accordance with
the Bondstrand Assembly Instructions, using
special care to keep joint surfaces clean
and dry.
Note: Be sure all pipe assemblers are
thoroughly trained in Bondstrand
assembly procedures, and recognize the
importance of using proper techniques.
2.2 Position pipe on timbers across ditch
as shown in figure below. Block into
position to hold alignment and prevent
lateral movement. For larger diameters
the use of a winch is recommended to
assemble and hold joint as illustrated in
Bondstrand Assembly Instructions
Positioning Pipe Over Ditch
1.5 Pipe supplied in 20-foot lengths

should be lifted and carried at the center
by hand or using webbed straps or rope
If handled at the ends, avoid touching
and contaminating the joining surfaces
1.6 Pipe supplied in 40-foot lengths
should be lifted (and carried) at two
points about 10 feet from each end Use
rope or web slings for mechanically lifting
the pipe. Weight of 40-foot lengths are

3. Placing Pipe in Ditch

3.1 Join the pipe sufficiently in advance
of the pipe lowering operation so that no
movement of the pipe will take place at
location where joints are being cured.
Any vibration or movement of uncured
or partially cured joints will increase the
risk of joint failures
3.2 With power equipment or manpower,

raise the pipe slightly to slide the timber
support from under the pipe. Lower the
pipe into the ditch. Do not drop or lower
suddenly (see fig. below). Repeat the
above operation at each support Use

~ (Lowering Pipe Into Ditch

Maximum Depth of 5 ft )
3.3 Should the depth of the trench

measured from the top of the supports
upon which the pipe is assembled to the
trench bottom exceed 5 feet, do not
lower the pipe into the trench by the
method outlined in 3.2 as t may
overstress the pipe. It shall be the
customer's responsibility to submit
specific laying conditions (trench depth,
handling equipment, pipe diameter, etc.)
to Ameron for an evaluation and
recommendation for trench depths in
excess of 5 feet.
3.4 Pipe may be placed in the ditch on a
curved alignment provided the curvature
in the installed pipe is uniform and does
not exceed the following:
4 Bedding and Backfill

4 1 Bedding in the pipe zone should be
sand and must not include rocks larger
than 3/8 inches or sharp rocks of any size
in direct contact with the pipe wall. Sand
bedding under the pipe should be a
minimum of 2 inches in thickness. Sand
shall pass a 3/8-inch screen and not more
than 15% shall pass a No.200 sieve.
4.2 Accurately grade the trench bottom
and sand bed to provide uniform bearing
and support for each section of pipe
along its entire length. (This will require
a shallow depression for bells and
couplings.) The grade shall have no
abrupt changes in direction or slope
except at fittings.
4.3 Do not cover the pipe joints until all
required pressure tests are performed.
4.4 Sand shall be uniformly compacted
around the pipe with particular care given
to the bedding beneath the haunches of
the pipe. Sand may be densified by
hydraulic methods if the native soil in
which the trench is excavated is free
draining. If trench is not free draining,
placement of damp sand will facilitate
compaction. Sand bedding and backfill
should extend a minimum of 6 inches
above the pipe.
Note: Filling the pipeline with water or
other means shall be used to prevent
"flotation" of the buried pipe if

hydraulic methods of consolidation are
used in cohesionless soils.
4.5 Backfill shall be deposited in 6-inch
maximum layers to a point at least two
feet above the top of the pipe, each layer
being compacted with suitable tampers to
85% of maximum density as determined
in accordance with ASTM Dl 557 for

cohesive soils, or to 70% relative density
in accordance with ASTM D2049 for
cohesionless soils which fail to produce
a well-defined, moisture-density
relationship when tested in accordance
with ASIM Dl 557. Compacting shall be
done so as to avoid damage to pipe wall.
Remainder of backfill shall be placed as
directed by the engineer.
In place tests of soil density are made in
accordance with ASTM Dl 556 or ASTM
D2167
Note Mechanical compactors may be
used provided harmful shock loads are
not transmitted to the pipe. Maintaining
a space of at least one foot between
tamping feet and pipe wall should avoid
damage to the pipe wall.
4.6 Where live load conditions do not
exceed the conventional H20-S16
loading, minimum depth of burial
measured from top of pipe should be
three (3) feet for all diameters. At road
crossings where the loading exceeds
H20-516, the pipe must be buried deeper,
or consideration must be given to the use
of a casing pipe. If casing is required, the
use of collars or sleeves is suggested to
provide protection for the pipe exterior.
The pipe manufacturer will supply data
on increased depth of burial upon request
provided complete loading and soil
conditions are submitted by the customer
for an engineering analysis.
5 Thrusts
5.1 Evaluation of the need for thrust
blocks is the responsibility of the
engineering agency designing the system.
Decision will depend on the exposure to
temperature change, surges of internal
pressure and geometry of the pipeline
layout. For each of these factors, singly
or in combination, the effect of
movement and thrusts on the pipe joints
and fittings must be evaluated.
(Additional information is found in

Bondstrand Engineering Guides.)
5.2 Temperature changes produce stress

in buried pipe which is restrained by
friction of the surrounding bedding, by
passive soil pressures at fittings, or by
thrust blocks. Forces developed at
fittings in fully restrained pipe are
tabulated below.

5.3 Hydrostatic thrusts at fittings depend
on the degree of restraint on the pipe
bonded to those fittings. In a fully
restrained pipe (blocked against
movement at both ends) with all joints
bonded, the Poisson effect produces
considerable tension in the pipe wall;
that is, as internal pressure is applied,
the pipe expands circumferentially and
at the same time trios to shorten longitudinally. This tensile force in the
Bondstrand pipe wall acts to reduce by
about 50 percent the hydrostatic thrust
on a fitting. Hydrostatic thrusts at
fittings in fully restrained systems may be
obtained for 100 psi pressure from the
following table and determined for other
pressures by proportion.
5.5 Thrust blocks are required at

hydrants and at 6-inch or larger diameter
tees and elbows for fire water mains
regulated by Factory Mutual Insurance
.:
6. Thrust Blocks-Design and
Construction
6.1 Once the applied thrusts are

determined, the designer of thrust blocks
must consider soil strength, soil stability
and location of the water table. Blocks
must have (1) adequate bearing area to
resist the soil thrust, (2) bearing surface
against undisturbed soil and (2) the
resultant thrust vector passing perpendicularly through the center of the bearing
surface (except for valves as in 6.8).
Should the soil be unstable or the
installation below the water table, the
engineer will have to make special
provision to ensure stability.
It is important 50 note that any connecting

metallic pipe must be anchored at the point of
connection to the RTR pipe to prevent excessive Stresses being transferred to the RTR pipe.

6.4 Thrust blocks for Bondstrand pipe
systems should be poured after
hydrostatic testing of the pipe. This will
allow for clear visual inspection of all
fitting joints during the test. To retain
pipe in proper alignment while testing,
the placement of sand bedding and
backfill per 4.4 may be required. Joints
may be left exposed for observation
during test.
6.5 Thrust blocks should be shaped with
the "designed bearing area" against virgin
earth of the
trench wall.
Smaller blocks
using a dry mix
may be shaped by
hands but larger
blocks (2 square
feet or greater)'
will require forms
The trench should be undercut beneath
the pipes at least 6 inches to give
additional thrust resistance and to
provide for an adequate concrete
envelope around the fittings. At least 6
inches of concrete should be over the top
of the pipe.
The center of the thrust block should

coincide with the horizontal centerline of
the pipe

6.7 It is important that the concrete be

"worked" thoroughly around the elbows
for maximum surface contact. Jake care
that entire area between the fittings and
the freshly cut trench wall is filled with
concrete and free of voids.
7.1 Bondstrand piping shall be laid in
Maintain at least a 2-inch space between

concrete vibrators and pipe or fittings
while compacting concrete. Even indirect
contact through concrete aggregate may
deliver excessive impact loads; this must
be avoided.

Bondstrand
Guide for Installing
Suspended Pipe
Introduction
Owners and operators of piping
systems want their piping to be
trouble-free, last a long time, and have
a low installed cost. To make this
happen you need to install the pipe
properly This guide offers practical
recommendations based on many
years of successful experience. It
explains many of the concepts upon
which these recommendations for
support, connection and anchorage
are based.
Those who know how to install steel
pipe will find that most of the same skills
and techniques apply There are some
important differences. Relative to
carbon steel, Bondstrand averages
only 16 per cent of the weight of
Schedule 40, has a longitudinal
modulus at least 14 times smaller and a
thermal coefficient of expansion
roughly 50 percent larger. Bondstrand
requires protection against potential
external abrasion or crushing at points
where supports are located, but this is
done easily and economically
These properties, though generally
advantageous, require the simple but
important recognition and use of the
handling and support concepts
described herein. The designer should
refer to our Bondstrand Engineering
Guide for Suspended Pipe," BEG-i 3,
for a more thorough presentation and
discussion of design features and
options
Receiving, Storing and Handling of
Pipe
Inspect incoming shipments of
Bondstrand pipe and fittings for abuse
in shipping. Broken pipe bundles,
crushed fitting boxes, scratched and
gouged pipe and pipe with crushed or
split ends are evidence of such abuse.
If abuse is evident, damage claims
procedures must be initiated prior to

accepting the shipment. Under
shipping procedure, title passes at the
time of shipment.
Do not throw or drop pipe and
fittings - protect from all types of
impact. Bondstrand may be damaged
by careless handling, sometimes
without exhibiting visible effects on the
pipe surface.
Pipe or pipe bundles may be stored for
extended periods in stacks up to four
feet high. Pipe stacks must have side
supports or blocks to prevent rolling or
slipping of the stack. A leveled, soft
earth surface free of rocks and other
hard or sharp objects is recommended.
If stored in racks or on bearing boards,
the supports should be at least three
inches wide and smooth or cushioned.
The supports should be placed at two
locations approximately four or five feet
from each end for 20-foot (6.1-meter)
lengths.
Bondstrand instructions, get them from

your Bondstrand distributor or
representative before starting
assembly work.
For Quick-Lock joints, instructions in
each adhesive kit show how to produce
a reliable heat-cured joint. Use special
care to sand and clean bonding
surfaces and keep them dry. Use a
mallet or ratchet winch to close the joint.
Never use a metal hammer directly on
pipe or fittings.
For Key-Lock joints, instructions for
joining are supplied with the pipe.
Clean, well lubricated joining surfaces
help to produce bottle-tight joints.
For flanged joints, flange joining
procedures and recommendations on
gasketing and bolting are supplied with
Quick-Lock flanges and with flanged
parts. A torque wrench used to tighten
lubricated, clean-threaded bolts on
well-aligned flanges will yield reliable
sealing with properly selected gaskets.
For work on the pipe, such as cutting,

preparing ends, or cleaning, two-point
support is recommended for 20- and
30-foot (6.1- and 9.1-meter), and
three-point support for 40-foot
(12.2-meter) lengths.
See also Connections to Other Piping

herein.
Note: Be sure all pipe assemblers are
thoroughly trained in Bondstrand
assembly procedures, and recognize
the importance of using proper
techniques. A timely call to your
Bondstrand distributor or Ameron sales
representative can arrange training
service for your project.
Note: Do not place supports under

bells, spigots or factory-made joints.
Fittings and adhesives should be
stored in the shipping boxes under
cover and protected from water,
contamination and high temperatures
"First in, first out" use of stored
adhesives helps to avoid overrunning
the one-year expiration date stamped
on the adhesive kits.
Assembly of Pipe and Fittings
Prepare and assemble Bondstrand
joints in accordance with step by-step
assembly instructions If for any reason
you do not have the appropriate
If pipe is joined in hangers or racks, as

much preparation for the joint as
possible should be done prior to the
hanging but no more than two hours in
advance. Dry-fit all joints and
match-mark before mixing and
applying adhesive.
Pipe lengths and especially
complicated subassemblies such as
loops, headers, etc. may often be
preassembled in a convenient work
area for easier, more economical
Ameron 1994 FP 679 12/95 supersedes BEG-7 04/94. Printed in Holland
installation. After joints are completely

cured, subassemblies can be joisted
and either bonded or flanged into the
system.
Quick-lock joints in hanging or standing
pipe lines are assembled using normal
Bondstrand assembly procedures.
However, clamping of the joints may be
required to immobilize them during
cure of the adhesive, especially if windy
conditions can affect the line or
supporting structure.
Note: It is frequently advantageous to
test long or involved systems in
subassemblies as the work proceeds.
Pipe joined into longer lengths or pipe

and fittings in subassemblies should be
lifted with web slings with enough lift
points to avoid excessive bending and
dynamic flexing. In no case should the
spans or the handling loads per pickup
point exceed those given in Table 1.
Maximum spans are based on a
vertical lift such as obtained by a
full-width spreader bar or two cranes
working together.
If two pick-up points are harnessed to a
single crane without a spreader bar,
reduce the maximum span. Multiply the
tabulated span by the reduction factor
obtained from Figure 1.

Notes:
1. Do not exceed 90 pounds per inch (1.6 kilograms per millimeter) of lifting band width.
2.
Maximum distance between lifting points for straight bonded pipe, no fittings. if the subassembly includes fittings or
flanges, reduce these spans so that the pickup weight is not increased. For example, two 6-inch (150 mm) flanges assembled with
bolts, nuts and washers weigh about 23 pounds (10kg). Divide this weight by the pipe weight per unit length, or 23 -: 3 = 7.6 feet
(10 -: 4.5 = 2.2 meters), and reduce the lifting span by this amount.
3. cantilever spans should not exceed 20 percent of these values.
4. The adjusted maximum span for lifting insulated pipe is obtained by
Support and Anchorage
Fiberglass shields such as
Refer to the project plans and

specifications for details and locations
of supports and anchors. If more
information is needed, Ameron's
publication, "Bondstrand Engineering
Guide for Suspended Pipe," BEG-13,
provides guidance and helpful
information on general design
principles for optimum piping
performance as well as hanger
detailing. The guide also covers piping
expansion and contraction, and
includes information needed for the
design of systems restrained against
movement.
If not shown on the plans, consult the
appropriate Bondstrand pipe
engineering guide for span
recommendations at the operating
temperature of your line. Do not exceed
these distances if deflections are to be
1/2 inch (13 mm) or less. In any case,
place supports under pipe rather than
fittings.
manufactured by Glas Mesh CO.*

Galvanized sheet metal banded to the
pipe, where the environment is not too
corrosive. Recommended minimum
metal gauge is:
2-through 6-inch (50-through
150-mm) pipe:
16 gauge (0.0598 in.) (1.5 mm)
8-through 12-inch (200-through
300-mm) pipe:
10 gauge (0.1345 in.) (3.4 mm)
Bonding or banding abrasion
protection firmly to the pipe is
necessary where movement is possible
between the pipe and the support.
Because outside diameters of
Bondstrand epoxy pipe are the same
as those for iron pipe size (I PS)
standards, standard pipe supports and
hangers often may be used for
Bondstrand piping systems.
Occasionally larger supports as given
in Table 2 are required to fit over
elastomeric pads or saddles,
especially at anchors.
Bondstrand pipe should not be point

supported, and all shields and hangers
in contact with the pipe shall be free of
burrs. Abrasion protection must be
provided to protect the pipe where it
slides through a fixed support or guide.
Choose a material compatible with
service environment and budget.
Some recommended protective
methods include:
Bondstrand saddles, which provide a
clean, corrosion-free surface acting
as a stiffening saddle for the pipe.
Saddles are bonded to the pipe. In
eight-inch pipe and larger, light-duty
abrasion protection can be provided
by bonding a half section of the same
pipe to the line pipe.
Elastomeric material such as rubber,
neoprene or even cut-up tire casings.
This material may be held in place by
pipe clamps or pipe insulation straps.
Lines which are emptied and filled

during the cycle of operations may
require attention to anchoring the line at
changes in direction. Bondstrand is
approximately 1/6 the weight of
Schedule 40 steel; therefore, it is
possible to generate thrust forces at
turns that will move or lift the line when a
line is being filled rapidly Anchoring
and limiting the possible movement of
the line is then necessary
Clamping Forces
When using support styles that clamp
the pipe, be sure that clamping forces
do not crush the pipe. Local crushing
could result from a poor fit, and
all-around crushing could result from
*A division of Rubco Products, Inc,
West Chester, Pennsylvania 19380
overtightening. Maximum clamping

forces and recommended bolt torques
for two-bolt pipe clamps are given in
Table 3.
Pump and Tank Connections
Pumps handling chemicals are often
lined, and as linings fail, the pump
vanes frequently become unbalanced
creating vibration. A flexible connection
such as an expansion joint is
considered a preferred arrangement,
though not a mandatory requirement for
connections to such equipment. Good
alignment and fit of the piping manifold
around the pump is important.
Tanks may expand or settle. Use turns
or loops in the piping to provide the
required flexibility
Connections to Other Materials
Connections to Other Piping
Where possible, connect Bondstrand
to either metallic or thermoplastic
piping using flanges drilled to ANSI
Standard B16.5, Class 150. Bondstrand
filament-wound flanges and
Bondstrand 2 and 3 inch (50 &
80 mm) molded polyester flanges may
be bolted directly against raised-face
steel flanges provided a torque wrench
is used These flanges also seal well
against lined steel configurations. All
Bondstrand standard flanges, epoxy
and polyester, provide sealing against
flat-face flanges Use a full-faced 1/8
inch (3 mm) thick elastomeric gasket
with a Shore A hardness of 60 5 for
best results.
Where Bondstrand is connected to
metallic pipe, securely anchor the
metallic pipe at the point of connection
so that expansion and contraction of
the metal line is not transferred to the
Bondstrand line

Connection to Valves
Flanged valves and other equipment
are frequently supplied with sealing
details built into the flange face. The
configuration of these details may vary
widely Unless it has been
demonstrated that these details are
compatible with the face of Bondstrand
flanges, use the standard full-faced,
inch (3 mm) thick elastomer gasket in
addition to the built-in sealing details.

so that the pumps are not put into
operation against closed valves. Valve
closing should also be held to a
maximum closing speed of four
seconds.
Valves in Bondstrand lines should be
supported independently Supports
bolted to flange as shown below will
provide helpful resistance to thrust and
torque as line and valve support. See
also Ameron's EB-36 entitled
"Recommended Support Details at
Flanges.
Small-Diameter Metallic Connections

Outlets for instrumentation are best
made using orifice flanges with 1/2 inch
(15 mm) instrument outlets threaded in
accordance with ANSI Standard B2.1.
Threaded reducing bushings mounted
in saddles, blind flanges and fittings
plugs offer connections up to 1 V2
inches (40 mm) in diameter for a wide
range of applications. The most
commonly used metal bushing material
is Type 316 stainless steel, but Ameron
can furnish other materials on special
order. Ameron's EB-13, available
through your local Bondstrand
distributor, describes "Saddles for
Branching".
Gravity Flow Connections
There are different ways to make
gravity-flow connections to floor drains,
cast iron pipe, etc.; for example, a 4
inch x 6 inch (100 x 150-mm) tapered
body reducer will enlarge the receiving
end of a Bondstrand 4-inch (100 mm)
pipe and serve as a packing chamber
for the cast iron end of a floor drain 'or
other fitting.
Conversely Bondstrand pipe can be
packed and sealed into a cast iron bell.
In any case, avoid packing materials
which must be applied at temperatures
above 200F (93C). Epoxy expansion
joint compounds, such as Ameron's
Nukem 750 (pouring grade), are
recommended.
Elastomeric molded couplings are
commercially available to connect
Bondstrand to clay concrete, cast iron
or plastic pipe.
Field Testing
compressible fluid - usually water.
Field testing is best and most

safely accomplished using a nonused. Direct sun and the heat of the day
Provide taps for air and vapor removal
at all high points in the system. Trapped
gases may create a hazard during test

and operation of the system.
Recognize that at 150 psi (10 bar), air
will be compressed to 1/10th of its
original volume and will store a
considerable amount of energy
Trapped gases may also restrict flow or
drainage.
Closures for test can be made using
blind flanges or valves. A Swel-Plug
positive-grip end closure, Model 4031*,
is a reusable alternative.
For non-compressible fluid systems,
test the piping hydrostatically at 11/2
times the operating pressure for a
period of four hours. For compressible
fluid (air) systems, test the piping
hydrostatically for two hours at a
pressure twice the maximum operating
pressure before placing the system in
service. Although gauge pressure drop
will reveal larger leaks, a visual surface
check of pipe, fittings and joints at the
end of the test period will provide the
best evidence of satisfactory
performance.
Testing with air or some other
compressible fluid is dangerous and
should be avoided even for systems
intended to handle them. Nevertheless
it is sometimes necessary to perform
tests with gases. With the gas pressure
changes which can result from even
minor temperature changes, gauge
pressure is often unreliable in checking
for leaks. In fact, the only positive way to
detect leaks in a pneumatic test is by
soaping all pipe, fitting, and joint
surfaces, and watching for bubbles,
and this can be accomplished only if
the pressure is low so that the system
can be approached safely
Temperature has a marked influence on
test pressures, especially when air is

may cause pressures to rise, possibly

overstressing piping, valves and
equipment. Avoid this by bleeding off
pressure. Conversely falling test
pressures may indicate cooling and
should be boosted until leakage is
verified.
Avoid rapid, high-velocity fluid filling of
long lines. A rapidly moving column of
fluid has high inertia and can build
explosive pressures in trapped air
pockets when the right conditions exist.
Repairs
"Troubleshooting section in your flange
Repairs of leaking pipe, whatever the
cause, should be made by removing
the faulty section or a short length
containing the fault, not by
overwrapping the fault with any type of
patch or other material. If a pipe spigot
or bell is damaged during the laying
operation, it should be cut off and a new
spigot end prepared. To replace a bell,
a coupling is bonded to the pipe. If the
damage occurs after it has been laid,
the damaged section should be cutout
and replaced with a new section.

course, but bonded Quick-Lock

fittings must be cut out and replaced if

the fitting itself is leaking. This is done
by sawing the pipe, preparing spigot
ends on the pipe, mounting nipples in
the replacement fitting, and remounting
the fitting using couplings. Where the

Designing the Bondstrand System

This guide contains general
information and data useful in
designing suspended systems of
Bondstrand pipe and fittings. This
information, as well as good general
engineering practice and the
designer's good judgment, must all be
applied to complete a successful and
economical piping system.
The guide discusses the following
considerations:
Criteria for selecting Bondstrand
products for a given application
Expansion and contraction
considerations
Span between supports and support
location
Connections to other materials and
equipment
Coatings and other considerations
Suggested details for guides,
supports and anchors
While Bondstrand performs in many
applications just like the familiar
metallic systems.. the designer must
recognize some important
differences, for example:
Bondstrand pipe weighs only about
1/7th as much as Schedule 40
carbon steel pipe. This means that
pipe and piping assemblies even in
12-inch diameters can be lifted into
place using any light lifting
equipment. In the smaller diameters
no lifting equipment is necessary.
This reduces on-site installation
costs.
The longitudinal modulus of
Bondstrand is at least 14 times less
than that of carbon steel pipe - a
characteristic that limits spans where
deflection is important but also
reduces thrust due to temperature
change.
Recognition of these and other

differences dealt with in this guide is
the hallmark of successful
installations. While this information is
likely to prove most helpful to those
designing Bondstrand systems for the
first time, experienced Bondstrand
customers will also find new and useful
information.
Be aware that the reinforced
thermosetting resin piping products
offered by other manufacturers may
differ significantly from Bondstrand.
Resin systems, manufacturing
processes and joining systems are
important variables affecting the
mechanical and physical properties of
these products. The recommendations
and suggestions given are based on
Ameron's test and field experience
and should be applied only to
Bondstrand products.
Selecting Bondstrand Pipe, Fittings
and Adhesives
A choice of either epoxy or polyester
Bondstrand products is available for
different chemical and thermal
environments. For information to guide
your selection, refer to the Bondstrand
Chemical Resistance Chart. This
publication provides recommendations
for different chemicals and other fluid
materials, including food products, as
well as guidance for selecting the
appropriate Bondstrand adhesive.
Filament-Wound versus Molded
Products
In smaller pipe sizes, you have a
choice between molded and
filament-wound fittings. This choice is

available in all sizes for Bondstrand
flanges. In general, filament-wound
fittings should be used in applications
where fittings in loops, turns or
branches are intended to flex, where
temperature changes exceed 100F in
restrained or blocked systems, or
where the system is exposed to
mechanical vibration or hydraulic
surge. Some sizes and types of fittings
are not available in both molded and
filament-wound styles, so check the
Bondstrand Fittings Engineering
Guide for availability when making
your choice.
Energy Savings
Remember, in selecting the diameter
of Bondstrand pipe, that Bondstrand's
low frictional values (Hazen-Williams
C = 150) will reduce your pumping
energy requirements, compared to
those for carbon steel pipe. In most
systems, these low frictional values will
be sustained for the life of the system.
Note also that the slightly larger inside

diameter of Bondstrand pipe,
compared to Schedule 40 or 80
carbon steel pipe, will further reduce
your pumping costs. Handy charts in
the Bondstrand engineering guides
show the head loss expected for both
pipe and fittings.
Insulated Systems
Bondstrand may be insulated in the
field, but Bondstrand pipe is available
from many pipe insulators with
efficient, built-in insulation. If you use
insulated Bondstrand, be sure to
check your support spacings for the
operating temperature to
accommodate the added weight of the
insulation and jacket.
Other Application Information
Ameron has prepared a number of
publications with valuable information
pertaining to specific types of service,
including marine applications, fire
protection systems and steam
condensate returns. Just call your
local Bondstrand distributor or your
nearest Ameron sales office, and let us
know your application. Give us the
temperature, pressure, fluid or gas to
be carried, and other pertinent
conditions.
In addition, Ameron has a computer

program for deflection and stress
Bondstrand systems that is
similar to programs existing for
metallic piping systems. Your Ameron
representative will be pleased to help
you utilize this program to analyze your
specific systems. Experience shows,
however, that such an analysis is
required only for the more demanding
or complicated conditions and that the
generalized procedures presented
herein will usually suffice.

Designing for Expansion and

Contraction
General Principles
Suspended pipe generally performs
best where it's permitted to move
freely In these systems, anchors serve
only to keep the pipe properly
positioned between loops and turns.
Center the anchor in the run between
loops if possible. An anchor should be
placed between loops and between
loops and turns. Otherwise, for the one
anchor per run, supports should carry
the pipe and maintain the intended
drainage slope but should not restrain
the pipe against axial movement. At
turns, the supports should also permit
lateral movement.
If the piping system cannot be
designed to move freely see next
section on Designing for Restrained
Systems.
Pipe changes length in a free system
as a result of changes in temperature
and pressure. Since both can increase
or decrease concurrently the resulting
changes in length must be combined
for loop design. Length-change
formulas and examples appear in
Appendix A, but the following
paragraphs will provide all you need
for most pipeline designs.
Length Change due to Temperature
Tests show that the amount of linear
expansion varies directly with
temperature. Figure 1 shows the length
change for Series 2000,4000,5000
and 6000 Bondstrand pipe.
Length Change due to Pressure
The amount of length change
occurring because of internal pressure
depends on wall thickness, diameter,
Poisson's ratio and the effective
'I
modulus of elasticity in both axial and

circumferential directions at the
operating temperature. In Bondstrand
pipe, some of these factors tend to
cancel each other, and the correction
becomes relatively simple. For each
100 feet in a straight, freely supported
run of Bondstrand pipe, Table 1
provides length changes which are
suitable throughout the indicated
range of temperatures. You need only
correct this value for the pressure of
your system by using a direct
pressure-ratio correction.
Anchoring for Branches and Valves
Both vertical and horizontal branches
can add complexity to a system
intended to move freely. Unless a
branch can move both axially and

laterally such as a short stub-out to a
nozzle or flexible hose connection, it
will require special consideration to
avoid undue bending stresses.
Sometimes the best solution is to
anchor both the branch and the run at
the tee, accommodating the pipe
length changes at turns or loops in
each of the three connecting lines. In
one such case, a vertical branch
connecting to buried pipe, as shown in
Figure 2, may include a Z-loop; the tee
may be rotated 90 degrees to permit
an L-loop; or the vertical line may be
treated as a restrained pipe as
described in Designing for Restrained
Systems.

Valves should be anchored and

supported directly especially in
diameters six inches and larger. Valve
weight in the larger sizes and torque on
valve handles in all sizes are the
primary concerns
Figure 3
Minimum Expansion Loop Dimensions for Bondstrand Pipe
Using Expansion Loops

Loops are recommended for relieving
longitudinal stress between anchors in
a suspended pipeline. Figure 3 gives
minimum expansion loop dimensions
for all Bondstrand pipe series. First,
determine how much total length
change due to temperature and
pressure must be absorbed. Then
enter the appropriate figure with pipe
diameter and total length change to
determine the required leg length (H)
for a U-loop design.
As an example, assume that a
Series 2000 eight-inch line is installed
and will change a total of two inches in
length. Figures shows that the
minimum value of H is six feet.
Loops should be horizontal whenever
possible to avoid entrapping air or
sediment and to facilitate drainage.
For upward loops, air relief valves aid
air removal and improve flow. In
pressure systems, air removal for both
pressure testing and normal operation is
required for safety as well
For Downward loops, air pressure
equalizing lines may be necessary to
permit drainage.
Figure 4
Comparison of Displacements in 9Cr vs. 450 Elbows
Caused by a Unit Length Change
A. Relative displacement of elbows

permitted to move freely in a pipe run
B. Relative displacement configuration

of loops
In both cases, special taps are

necessary for complete drainage.
Loops using 90 elbows absorb length
change better than those using 45
elbows. Unlike a 90 turn, a 45 turn
carries a thrust component through the
turn which can add axial stress to the
usual bending stress in the pipe and
fittings. Alignment and deflection are
a so directly affected by the angular
displacement at 450 turns and demand
special attention for support design
and location.
A 45 elbow at a free turn with the same
increment of length change in each leg
will be displaced 86 percent more than
a 90 elbow. The relative displacement
in the plane of a loop is also more of a
problem. Figure 4 illustrates the

geometry involved.
Expansion Joints
Instead of a loop, an expansion joint
may be used to relieve longitudinal
stress. The type selected must be fairly
flexible, such as a teflon bellows which
is activated by the thrust of low
modulus materials (see Note 2 of
Table 2).
Supports for expansion joints must be
carefully designed and placed to
maintain controlled deflection.
Besides adding weight, most of these
joints act as partial structural hinges
which afford only limited transfer of
moment and shear Where the
expansion joint relies on elastomers or
thermoplastics for strength, the
structural discontinuity or hinging
effect at the joint increases with
increases in temperature.
When using an expansion joint in a
pipeline carrying solids, consider the
possibility that it may stiffen or fail to
function due to sedimentation in the
expansion joint. Failure of the
expansion joint may cause excessive
pipe deflection.
Designing for Restrained Systems

General Principles
Occasionally the layout of a system
makes it impossible to allow the pipe to
"move freely." Or, it may be necessary

to block certain runs of an otherwise
free system. In a fully restrained pipe
(blocked against movement at both
ends), the designer must deal with
thrust rather than length change. Both
temperature and pressure produce
thrust which must be resisted at turns,
branches, reducers and ends.
Knowing the magnitude of this thrust
enables the designer to select
satisfactory anchors. Remember that
axial thrust on anchors is normally
independent of anchor spacing.
Formulas and examples are found in
Appendix B.
In practice, the largest compressive
thrust is normally developed on the
first positive temperature cycle.
Subsequently the pipe develops both
compressive and tensile loads as it is
subjected to temperature and
pressure cycles. Neither compressive
nor tensile loads, however, are
expected to exceed the thrust on the
first cycle unless the ranges of the
temperature and pressure change.
Caution: In restrained systems, pipe
fittings can be damaged by faulty
anchorage or by untimely release of
anchors. Damage to fittings in service
can be caused by bending or slipping
of an improperly designed or installed
anchor. Also, length changes due to

creep are induced by high pressures

or temperatures while pipe is in
service. When anchors must later be
released, especially in long pipe runs,
temporary anchors may be required to
avoid excessive displacement and
overstress of fittings.
Thrust due to Temperature
In a fully restrained Bondstrand pipe,
length changes induced by
temperature change are resisted at the
anchors and converted to thrust. The
thrust developed depends on the
thermal coefficient of expansion, the
cross-sectional area and the modulus
of elasticity Table 2 gives the
maximum axial thrust in anchored lines
for each series of Bondstrand pipe at
three elevated temperatures. The table
assumes a fully relaxed initial pipe
length at 600F with short-time modulus
of elasticity values as shown.
Thrust due to Pressure
Thrust due to internal pressure in a
suspended but restrained system is
theoretically more complicated. This is
because in straight, restrained
pipelines with all joints bonded, the
Poisson effect produces considerable
tension in the pipe wall. As internal
pressure is applied, the pipe expands
circumferentially and at the same time
contracts longitudinally This tensile
force is important because it acts to

anchors at turns.
For the designer of a restrained
Bondstrand pipeline, however the
problem can be greatly simplified.
Table 3 provides the recommended
thrusts and locations for
anchors at various fittings.
Use of Guides for Alignment Control
A suspended line which is restrained
from movement may need extra
supports or guides to maintain
alignment, especially when the
pipeline is exposed to a wide
temperature range. Guides as shown
in Figure 10 may permit the pipe to
move axially but not laterally Without
guides, restrained pipe may not
deflect uniformly and, in some cases,
excessively Figures 5 and
6 give recommended guide spacing to
avoid buckling deflection between
anchors.
Supplying this lateral support by using

guides at the normal support locations
or even at every other support is often
sufficient, especially in the larger
diameters. To check, compare the
recommended span for your operating
temperature as determined from the
section entitled Support Locations and
Spans with the guide spacings from
Figures or 6. Be sure that guide and
support spacing meet both
requirements.
As an example for determining guide
spacing, assume that a three-inch
Bondstrand Series 2000 line is
installed at 70F and is to operate at
250F ( T = 180F). Figure 5 shows
that guides should be installed at
intervals of 4.6 feet.
Spans and Support Locations

Recommended maximum spans
Bondstrand pipe at various operating
temperatures are given in Table 4.

These spans are intended for normal
horizontal piping arrangements, i.e..
those which have no fittings, valves,
vertical runs, etc., but which may
include flanges and non uniform design
support spacings. The tabular values
represent a compromise between
continuous and simple spans. When
installed at the support spacings
indicated in Table 4, the weight of the
pipe full of water will produce a
long-time deflection of about inch,
which is usually acceptable for
appearance and adequate drainage.
Fully continuous spans may be
used with support spacings up to
20 percent greater for this deflection
in simple spans, support spacings
should be 20 percent less. may deflect
For this purpose, continuous spans

are defined as interior spans (not end
spans), which are uniform in length
and free from structural rotation at
supports. Simple spans are supported
only at the ends and are hinged or free

table for sustained operation.
Support Locations
Supports that permit pipe movement
are usually under pipe, not under
fittings. Be sure that pipe movement is
not obstructed either axially or laterally
by a flange or fitting near the support.
In general, supports may be located at
convenient nearby structures, just as
for steel pipe, provided the support
spacings indicated in Table 4 are not
exceeded.
Figure 5
Guide Spacing vs. Temperature Change for Series 2000,4000 and 6000
Pipelines with Blocked (restrained) Ends. Solution shown assumes an initial
temperature of 60F and a water-filled line.
Locate anchors on pipe as indicated in

Table 3 for restrained piping. Except at
flanged connections, above-ground
anchors are usually found on pipe
rather than fittings. Anchors in lines
free to move should be located where
necessary to control movement into
loops or turns. See Figures 11 through
14 for typical anchor details.
Supports for Vertical Runs
Install a single support anywhere
along the length of a vertical pipe run
more than about ten feet long. See
Figure 14 for suggested details. If the
run is supported near its base, use
loose collars as guides as shown in
Figure 14B, spaced as recommended
in Table 6.
Vertical runs less than ten feet long
may usually be supported as part of
the horizontal piping. In either case be
sure the layout makes sufficient
provision for horizontal and vertical
movement at the top and bottom turns.
In vertical pipe runs, accommodate
vertical length changes by allowing
free movement of fittings at either top
or bottom, or both. For each 1/8 inch of
anticipated vertical length change,
provide 2 feet of horizontal pipe
between the elbow and the first
support, but not less than 6 feet nor
more than 20 feet of horizontal pipe.
Treat columns more than 100 feet high
(either hanging or standing) as special
designs. Support and provision for
length change are important. The
installer should be especially careful to
avoid movement due to wind or
support vibration while joints are
curing.

Connections to Other Piping
Where possible, connect Bondstrand
to either metallic or thermoplastic
piping using flanges drilled to the
150 psi standards of ANSI 816.5.
Bondstrand filament-wound epoxy
flanges and Bondstrand heavy-duty

molded polyester flanges may be
bolted directly against raised-face
steel flanges. These flanges also seal
well against lined steel configurations.

Notes:
1.
Span recommendations are intended for normal horizontal piping support arrangements, a compromise between continuous spans and simple spans, but
include no provision for weights (fillings. valves, flanges, etc.) or thrusts (branches, turns, etc.).
2.
Span recommendations are calculated for a maximum long-time deflection of 1/2 inch to ensure good appearance and adequate drainage.
3.
Fully continuous spans may be used with support spacings up to 20 percent greater for this deflection; in simple spans, support spacings should be 20
percent less.

configuration of these details may vary
widely. Unless it has been
demonstrated that these details are

Conversely Bondstrand pipe can be
packed and sealed into a cast iron
bell. In any case, avoid packing
materials which must be applied at
temperatures above 2000F Epoxy
expansion joint compounds, such as
Nukem 750 (pouring grade) and
Nukem 760 (caulking grade), are
recommended.
Elastomeric molded couplings are
commercially available to connect
Bondstrand to clay, concrete, cast iron
or plastic pipe.
Connections to Equipment
Equipment Vibration
Bondstrand pipe will safely absorb
vibration from pumping or other
conditions if (1) stresses are controlled
within reasonable limits, and (2) pipe is
protected from external abrasion by
saddles or sleeves where it contacts
supports and other objects. In
genera:, pipeline vibration is severe
only when the generating frequency ~
at, or near, the natural resonance
frequency of the pipeline. This
frequency is a function of the support
system, layout geometry, temperature,
mass, and pipe stiffness, and is often
difficult to predict.
There are two principal ways to control
stress caused by vibration. You can
usually observe the stability of the
system during initial operation and
add restraints or supports as required
to reduce effects of equipment
vibration. Where necessary guides
illustrated in Figure 10 will effectively
hold pipe from lifting or moving
laterally
In special cases where source
vibration is excessive (such as that
resulting from pumps running
unbalanced), an elastomeric
expansion joint or other vibration
absorber may be considered. If an
expansion joint is considered, refer to
Expansion Joints.
Connections to Tanks
The wall flexure of a tank as it is filled
and emptied produces movements at
nozzles which must be
accommodated in the design. These
movements can be absorbed by a
loop or turn, or by an expansion joint.
Avoid direct, straight-line connections
between tanks.
Other Design Considerations

Coating Bondstrand
Exposure to direct sunlight will
eventually degrade the surface of
Bondstrand piping. Although no
failures are known to have resulted
from this superficial degradation, it
does cause a dull, Grey appearance.
which many users wish to avoid.
Amercoat products are available to
prevent or arrest this effect, or for color
coding. Based on studies at the
factory, a five-mil single coat of
Amercoat 85 will provide suitable
protection for either epoxy or polyester
pipe and fittings.
Adhesion of the coating is improved by
delaying the application until the pipe
surface has begun to weather. Pipe
must be thoroughly cleaned with
Amercoat 12 cleaner before applying
the coating.
For further information on chemical
resistance, coverage, equipment and
application procedures for these
coatings, contact Ameron's Protective
Coatings Division.
Electrical Properties
Bondstrand pipe* offers high
resistance to stray electrical currents, a
common cause of corrosion around
valves and pumps. Table 7 gives the
results of tests on Bondstrand epoxy
pipe in a clean, as-manufactured
condition at room temperature.
Obviously electrical properties,
especially surface resistivity, are greatly
affected by contamination and
atmospheric conditions.
High-velocity flows of fluids having low
electrical conductivity such as
petroleum distillates, can generate

significant amounts of static electricity

In buried pipe these charges are
slowly dissipated. Be sure to ground
projections or metal appurtenances,
especially near discharge nozzles,
filters, valves and other areas of high
turbulence. Use saddles instead of
elastomeric pads at supports to obtain
better grounding
Entrapped Gases
As in all piping systems, high points in
the system will trap air or other gases.
Trapped gases may create a hazard
during test and operation of the
system, and may restrict flow or
drainage. It is recommended that air
release valves be used at high points
to permit bleeding out trapped air or
other gases. See Small-Diameter
Metallic Connections for suggested
method of mounting.
*Amerons Bondstrand Series 7000
pipe includes electrically conductive
elements in the pipe wall which, when
properly grounded, prevent
accumulation on the exterior of the
pipe of dangerous levels of static
electricity produced by the flow of
fluids inside the pipe.
Steam Condensate
Good drainage helps avoid water
hammer in steam condensate lines.
For further information, see our
Bondstrand Guide for Steam
Condensate, BEG-9, available from
your local distributor.
Heat Tracing
Heat tracing may be needed to
prevent freezing in cold weather or to
maintain flow of viscous fluids at
ambient temperature.
Wrap heat tracing helically to avoid the
pipe deflection caused by heating one
side of the pipe. Heat tracing should
be directly on the pipe and within the
insulation. Do not exceed maximum
trace temperatures of 300F for epoxy
products or 200F for polyester
products, and use the maximum trace
temperature for the design of the
piping system.
Handling Compressible Fluids
Be sure to observe appropriate safety
to handle air or other compressible
precautions when designing systems
fluids. Aboveground piping should be

carefully protected from mechanical

damage caused by equipment and
vehicles. It is recommended that such
systems be tested hydrostatically for
two hours, at a pressure twice the
maximum operating pressure before
being placed in service.
Detailing the Supports
The following paragraphs describe
and illustrate the different methods
and devices used to support
Bondstrand pipe and fittings in a
suspended system.
Because outside diameters of
Bondstrand pipe are the same as
those for iron pipe size (IRS)
standards, standard pipe supports
and hangers often may be used for
11
Bondstrand piping systems.

Occasionally, larger supports as given
in Table 8 are required to fit over
elastomeric pads or saddles,
especially at anchors.
Clamping Forces
When using support styles that clamp
the pipe, be sure that clamping forces
do not crush the pipe. Local crushing
could result from a poor fit and
all-around crushing could result from
over-tightening.
Where the pipe must be held tightly
and anchored by the support, mount a
pair of 1800 support saddles between
clamp and pipe for the ultimate in
strength and long life. In many cases, a
-inch thick elastomeric pad (Shore A
Fixed supports permit the pipe to

move longitudinally and, in some
cases, laterally An ordinary pipe rack
made of steel angle is a typical fixed
support permitting both longitudinal
and lateral movement. Figure 9 shows
some typical types of fixed support.
Pipe resting in fixed supports requires
protection from external abrasion
(refer to Abrasion Protection).
Guides (Figure 10) restrict translational
movement but may permit longitudinal
and rotational movement. Guides are
recommended for lines which are
subject to sideloads or uplift.
Examples include lines subjected to
pressure surges lines emptied and
filled during operation, and lines
(especially when empty) which can be
lifted or moved by wind or other
external loading. Use guides on
vertical runs (see Table 6). Though no

significant longitudinal movement is

involved. guides are normally required
for restrained systems at spacings
given in Figures 5 and 6. An
inexpensive guide for most
applications is a light-duty U-bolt,
double-nutted to restrict horizontal
and vertical movement but which
permits free longitudinal movement.
Abrasion protection must be provided
to protect the pipe where it slides
through a fixed support or guide.
Choose a material compatible with the
service environment and budget.
Some recommended protective
methods include:
Bondstrand saddles, which provide
a clean, corrosion-free surface
acting as a stiffening saddle for the
pipe. Saddles are bonded to the
pipe. In eight-Inch pipe and larger,
light-duty abrasion protection can be

Galvanized sheet metal, bonded or
banded to the pipe, where the
environment is not too corrosive.
Recommended minimum metal
gauge is:
2-through 6-in. pipe:
16 gauge (0.0598 in.)

Supports that Anchor Pipe

Pipe n a straight run is usually
anchored by clamps or split rings.
Light anchors intended only to hold
pipe in position between loops or turns
in a free system may be fixed
supports, as shown in Figure 11.
Supports required to resist length
changes in restrained systems
generally require the use of saddles.
Saddles are recommended where
pipe is to be held by ring clamps
(Figure 12). Bonded saddles also may
be used as a shear key along with a
loose anchoring ring.
Valves and pumps in Bondstrand lines
must be supported independently
Figure 13 shows how supports may be
bolted to a flange to support weight, to
resist thrust and torque, and to provide
electrical grounding.
Bonding or banding abrasion

protection firmly to the pipe is
necessary where movement is
possible between the pipe and the
support.
Vertical pipe runs are usually

anchored using bonded saddles or
flanges resting on a suitably reinforced
and mounted guide or riser clamp
(Figure 14).

FEATURES OF THE QUICK-LOCK JOINT

As one of the most widely used joints in the
history of the FRP industry with well over
million joints installed, the Quick-Lock
design has proven to be strong and reliable under a vast range of conditions. In tests, Quickjoints assembled using Bondstrand RP34 Epoxy Adhesive have repeatedly demonstrated
strength superior to that of the Bondstrand pipe
wall, which is itself one of the heaviest and
fiberglass reinforced pipe walls made.
Today, several other joint designs are
being marketed with smooth advertising campaigns and with apparent success, so much so in
fact that one might easily forget the merits of the
Quick-Lock joint. Years of experience have
proven the Quick-Lock joint under a broad
range of conditions.
Among the features which serve to make
the joint so functional and popular are the
following:
SELF-CENTERING
The small 1/2 degree taper on the socket two
automatically centers the bores of the socket and
spigot. (This important feature is common to
most joints, the most widely-used exception Lock
being the butt and wrap joint).
SELF-ALIGNING
Generally, the Quick-Lock joint design strongest

provides all tile axial alignment required for
proper assembly. Additional care in alignment
is recommended for flange mounting and rotational alignment of fittings and flanges in spools.
PREDICTABLE JOINT LENGTH

There is no need to guess at the length of
joined assemblies - premeasured cutting
lengths fit against integral stops in sockets of both
pipe and fittings for accurate, repeatable laying
lengths.
STABLE JOINTS DURING CURE
Ameron Fiberglass Pipe Group
Sand-filled adhesives help hold spigot and

socket in a fixed position during cure. Although
the joint is not intended to be safe for handling
and movement until fully cured, this gripping action helps and offers a contract to the tendency
of some joints to slide apart, to partially sepa-

BONDS TRAND QUICK-LOCK PIPE JOINT

STRUCTURAL PROTECTION OF PREPARED
ENDS
The Quick-Lock joint design provides glass

reinforcement over the prepared spigot ends
even for the heavier chemical grade liners of
the series 4000 and 5000, thereby protecting
the spigot ends during normal handling and
assembly from chipping and cracking of the
liner.
ELIMINATION OF AIR lN ADHESIVE BOND
The assembly of a cylindrical spigot to a

slightly tapered socket yields a condition of
uneven dynamic pressures. Pressure increases
from the outer end of the socket in toward the
pipe stop. Any trapped air tends to move toward
the area of lower pressure (the outer end of the
socket) faster than the adhesive, which tends
instead to be drawn deeper into the socket by
its viscous nature. (Turning of the spigot during
insertion is not recommended as this tends to
relieve these effects and to result in greater air
entrapment.)
ASSEMBLY TECHNIQUE
Finally for the best possible joint reliability,

Ameron draws on broad experience to provide
complete assembly instructions in each
Bondstrand adhesive kit. These well-defined
and repeatable assembly techniques help the
user avoid field-joining problems and assure
successful installation. Training programmes
and audio-visual aids are available and are
especially helpful for first-time users of
Bondstrand Quick-Lock joints.
Remember, almost all FRP joining systems
require adhesive bonding for lengths cut in the
field. The Quick-Lock joint provides a reliable,
time-tested solution to this and most of your
other joining requirements.

Description
EWE is building a cavern storage facility in Rdersdorf (Germany) for the gas
supply in Brandenburg. The creating of cavern volume is a result of the controlled
solution mining process with water out of the watersystem in the neighbourhood of
Rdersdorf. For the transportation of the brine, which will be produced during
construction of the caverns, EWE has built a pipeline from Rdersdorf to Heckelberg for which Ameron supplied over 54 km of Bondstrand 3400 in 18 inch (450
mm) diameter.
In Heckelberg the brine will be injected into porous sandstone layers in a depth of
nearly 1.000 m without any danger for the environment and for the underground
water. A buried leakage detection system is an important contribution to the safety
of the pipeline. (Source: Dr.-Ing. Thomas Schmidt - EWE Aktiengesellschaft).
Extensive additional qualification tests were

performed (e.g. hydrostatic / ring stiffness)
Ameron also supplied storage and distribution facilities

throughout construction of the pipeline

Fire water transportation line for storage tank protection. The 250 mm
Bondstrand pipe was placed upon existing supports and replaced a corroded
300 mm steel pipe. During the winter the pipeline is emptied due to the risk of
freezing. The filling and emptying of the steel line caused severe corrosion on
the inside. Since the reservoir is located near the sea, the original pipe was
also exposed to external corrosion from salt water.
Corrosion resistance and ease of installation, combined with the possibility of
connecting Bondstrand flanges to existing steel pipe, proved a more
economical solution based on total installation cost and site maintenance.

Description
Since the late 1960's, the DIAMO uranium mine in the Czech Republic used the
in-situ method along with traditional underground mining. In the leaching
method, sulphuric acid is injected into underground uranium deposits. The acid
dissolves the uranium out of the ore and the solution is pumped to the surface.
The uranium is separated from the acid using an ion exchange process and the
spent acid is injected in to underground caverns. Over the years, the acid waste
has spread into a large underground reservoir which threatened the local
drinking water supply.
DIAMO awarded Resources Conservation Company International (RCCI) a
contract to clean up the sulphuric acid waste and produce a pure salt product
using a system of evaporators and (re)crystallisers. The systems treats 2.7
million gallons of acid waste per day, recovering some 2 million gallons per day
of clean water for disposal to a nearby river. High purity ammonium aluminium
sulfate crystals are produced at a rate of 936 tons per day. The system also
concentrates sulphuric acid from 1.5 to 13%.

Description
This project is the 8th consecutive successfull project with CPPE since 1984.
Contractor: Setusolda, Ameron representative in Portugal.
The two new Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy lines replaced four corroded steel lines
that contained many leaks caused by internal corrosion. The steel lines were
installed between 1985-1990 in a dry pit to limit external corrosion. The steel
pipes had to be coated regularly.
Using Bondstrand (GRE) glassfiber reinforced epoxy pipes, the new lines do not
require maintenance, since the product is corrosion-free and offers better flow due
to the smooth internal liner. The resin mix provides long-term resistance.
Complete installation was finished in less than two months (less than half the time
compared to steel pipelines). As a result, CPPE saved on material as well as on
installation cost. During operation, CPPE will furthermore save on maintenance
cost.
Advantages
Reduction in installation costs and time

Minimum long-term service life of 20 years
Corrosion resistance

Introduction in to glass
reinforced plastics
General statement
A general definition of a composite is a synergistic combination of

two or more materials. More specifically, the composites referred
to here comprise a high strength reinforcement in fibrous form,
incorporated into and bonded together by a matrix, usually a
thermosetting polymer. The term fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) is
widely used to describe such materials with glass reinforced
plastic (GRP) when the reinforcement is glass fiber. Glass
reinforced epoxy (GRE) is used when, as in the case of much
composite pipework, epoxy resin is the matrix
The nature of E-glass

fibers
Most glass fibers consist of E-glass, a term which once stood

for electrical grade glass, as used in insulators and capacitors.
This glass, which is transparent and brittle, but of high strength, is
a super-cooled mixture of metallic oxides. Glasses in bulk form
tend to have relatively low strength levels, because of the
presence of microscopic surface flaws which act at site for crack
propagation. Glass in fibrous form can be much stronger provided
that the surface of the fibers is protected at all times against
damage. Glass is produced in a furnace about 1200C and spun
into fibers by allowing it to drain under its own weight through
many heated bushings. Molten glass is quite corrosive, and the
bushings must be made from platinum to avoid damage, and to
protect the glass from contamination. Each bushing contains
many hundreds of holes through which the molten glass must
pass before forming fibers of approximately 10 microns in
diameter.
The secret of the strength of glass fibers, and of their ability to
bond to polymeric matrices is the size which is applied to the
surface of the fiber's in the form of an aqueous solution shortly
after the fiber's emerge from the bushings. The size contains a
polymeric binder which coats the glass surface to protect it and
lightly binds together the individual fiber's in each fiber tow to
prevent them rubbing against one another during subsequent
handling and processing. The size also contains a coupling agent
- 1 - a reactive component, usually an organosilane, which is a
multi-functional molecule. The silane part of the molecule bonds
tightly to the surface of the glass while the organic part is
designed to attach itself to the polymer matrix. When purchasing
glass fiber it is necessary to stipulate the type of resin matrix to be
used, since some coupling agents are specifically chosen to be
compatible with particular resins. The size also contains a film
former to enable it to spread over the glass surface and lubricants
to facilitate processing without damage.

Despite the presence of the size, every processing or handling

operation introduces flaws and reduces the strength of the
glass. By the time it has been incorporated into the composite, the
effective tensile strength is generally about 1700 Mpa, which is
many times tower than its strength immediately after leaving the
bushing.
After spinning, the glass fiber tows, referred to as rovings1 are
wound at high speed onto cylindrical packages, or cheeses, and
placed in a drying oven where the water in the size coating is
removed. These cylindrical packages are the basic intermediate
from which a wide variety of glass reinforcing products are
manufactured. Examples of such products are described in figure
1 and are given in table 1 and 2.
The tex of a fiber tow or roving is its weight in g per km.
Undirectional rovings can be used directly in composite
manufacture, or they can be converted to other intermediate
products. Direct applications include the uni-directional rovings
used in process such as spray lay up, filament winding and
pultrusion. Alternatively, the glass strands may be chopped,
usually to a length of 50 mm, and sprinkled onto a moving belt to
make chopped strand mat (CSM), the most widely used
reinforcing product for boat building and other general purpose
GRP products. CSM contains randomly orientated glass strands,
held together by the application of a small amount of polymeric
binder. In purchasing CSM, it is important to specify the type of
binder: some are soluble in liquid resin, some are not.
More importantly, some binders are unsuitable for use in
laminates to be continuously immersed in water. CSM is widely
used in contact moulding, resin transfer moulding and other
processes.
Continuous strand mat or swirl mat is similar in some respects to
CSM, except that the fiber's are continuous. Swirl mat is used in
pultrusion, where the reinforcement is required to have sufficient
integrity to allow it to be pulled through the process under tension.

Glass fiber rovings may also be woven by standard textile

processes into a range of reinforcing fabrics. Such woven rovings
can have various types of weave, such as plain, satin or twill, plain
being the most common. Woven rovings can be used in
processes such as contact moulding, resin transfer moulding and
pre-preg manufacture. In their most common form, woven rovings
have equal quantities of fiber in the warp and weft directions,
giving orthotropic laminates with roughly similar properties in
these two directions. It is also possible to produce biased fabrics
with different quantities of fiber in the two directions, the extreme
case being "unidirectional" fabric, where almost all the
reinforcement is the in the warp direction, with lust sufficient
stitching in the transverse direction to maintain integrity during
processing
Recently, there has been interest in "non-crimp" fabrics, where
uni-directional rovings are stitched together in layers. These
fabrics produce somewhat stronger, stiffer laminates than woven
fabrics, because the rovings do not undulate as they would in a
conventional fabric. It is also possible to stitch together layers or
plies with different fiber orientation, including 45 plies, as well
as 90 ones.
C-glass
C-glass is chemically resistant glass, used as a protective layer in

the manufacture of pipes and other GAP
components exposed to aggressive environments. Unlike E-glass,
C-glass, which is manufactured by a different process, is not
available in the form of continuos rovings. It is supplied as a nonwoven mat, known as surface veil. The use of C-glass is intended
to provide a resin rich barrier layer between a particular fluid
environment and the main stress-bearing part of the laminate.
Other special glass and

ceramic fibers
In addition to E-glass, there is range of glassy

reinforcements of alternative composition, designed to give
either superior mechanical performance or resistance to certain
types of environment. These types of glass reinforcement are
more expensive than E-glass, by a factor of 5 to 30, depending
upon the material. S-glass, S2-glass and A-glass offer substantial
strength and small stiffness improvements over E-glass, while
ECR- glass offers enhanced resistance to certain types of
corrosive environment. The use of these special glasses offshore
is not currently significant, but could grow.
Silica and aluminia fiber's have much better high temperature
performance than E-glass, which softens well below 10000C.
Benefits can therefore be achieved by combining small amounts
of these fiber's with E-glass when hydrocarbon fire resistance is
needed.
May 1998
The nature of
thermosetting resins
Polymers consist of long organic chain molecules. They are

held together by two types of bond: the strong covalent
bonds joining the atoms within the chains and the weak Van der
Waals bonds which are between adjacent chains. If the chains are
linear, the polymer can be melted or softened to allow it to be
shaped, then cooled again.
Resins of this type are known as thermoplastics. If, on the other
hand, the chains are bridged or cross-linked to form a molecular
network, a polymer is obtained which cannot be melted and
cannot be easily deformed without either fracture or
decomposition taking place. This type of polymer is known as a
thermoset.
Although there is interest in using thermoplastic polymers as the
basis for composites, thermoplastics matrix composites are still at
an early stage of development, and hence are unsuitable for large
structures. All the resins of current interest for offshore use are of
the thermosetting type.
Typical characteristics of thermosetting polymers are that they
usually have stiffness values in the range 2-4 GPa, depending on
the degree of cross linking, with strength values around 40-70
MPa and, being bound together chemically, they are capable of
relatively little plastic deformation. Hence they cannot be shaped
by flow or plastics deformation. It follows that when fabricating
composite parts. from thermosetting polymers the shaping
operation must be carried out at the same time as the chemical
reaction that establishes the cross linked network. The crosslinking process, known as curing, can be carried out in two
different ways. In the case of cold curing, the cross-linking
reaction is started by mixing together components which react. In
hot curing, the sequence of reactions which produces crosslinking is initiated by raising the temperature.
The cure reaction often fails to go to completion initially. In
C most cases, the properties of the composites are
considerably improved if a post-curing operation is carried
out. This is usually done by placing the component in an oven for
several hours at elevated temperature. Sometimes, however, the
size or shape of the component may prevent this.
Thermosets become softer as temperature is increased, but do
not melt in the way that thermoplastics do. At an elevated
temperature, large segments of the molecules eventually become
mobile and the Modulus falls to a low value. The
temperature where the Modulus drops most sharply is called the
glass transition temperature or Tg. This temperature is often
taken as an approximate indication of the maximum service
temperature of the resin. Eventually, at some temperature in
excess of the glass transition temperature, the resin will begin to
decompose.
May 1998
Polyesters
These are the resins most commonly used in the manufacture of

thermosetting composites in the uncured state they consist of a
polymer, an unsaturated polyester resin. Unsaturated means that
the backbone chain contains some carbon-carbon double bonds.
The polyester is dissolved in a reactive monomor, usually styrene.
To cure the resin, a peroxide initiator must be added, which
decomposes to produce free radicals which act on the styrene
monomor, causing it to polymerise. The polymerisation takes
place by the opening up of the double bonds in the styrene and
the double bonds in the polyester chain are also involved in this
reactions, leading to a molecular network where the polyester
chains are cross-linked by polystyrene ones, as shown
schematically in figure
2.
Scheme of the filament
winding process
Figure 2. Schematic representation of the cure mechanism of

polyester resins
In cold -cured polyesters, the decomposition of the peroxide

initiator is catalysed by adding an accelerator, usually a cobalt
salt. In hot-cured resins the peroxide decomposition is triggered
simply by increasing the temperature.
The constituents of the polyester chain can be varied to confer the
desired properties on the final polymer. For instance, the density
of the cross-links can be controlled by varying the number of
double bonds in the chain, known as the reactivity of the resin.
Resins with high reactivity produce highly cross-linked products
which have a high glass transition temperature and good chemical
resistance, but which are somewhat brittle at room temperature.
Low reactivity resins give a lower level of cross-linking, a lower Tg
and less chemical resistance, but are tougher at room
temperature.
May 1998
The advantage of the free radical cure mechanism is its ease of

control. The uncured resins are fairly stable and have a long shelf
life but when they are required to cure, the reaction may be
brought about rapidly and controllably. The period of time for
which the resins remain processable after the curing system has
been added is known as the pot life. Different pot lives are
required according to the size of the laminating operation and the
process used. The rate of cure can be varied by changing the
amount of curing agent added, and additionally, a delay in the
onset of curing, which may be needed for instance when
laminating large structures, can be achieved by adding an
inhibitor. The polyesters also have some disadvantages. The cure
reaction is temperature sensitive, so the environmental
temperature must be held within certain limits. The resins also
tend to emit styrene vapour during processing, which is
undesirable from a health and safety viewpoint. Good ventilation
is required when laminating large areas.
Epoxy Vinylesters
These resins are, to a certain extent, a chemical

compromise between epoxies and polyesters. The
unsaturated polyester is replaced by an epoxy-like one,
which is much more chemically and thermally resistant.
Moreover, the styrene content is decreased. The curing
mechanism is similar to that of the polyesters, although more
accurate control of the quantities of curing agent added is
essential, as the cure reaction is less tolerant of
compositional variations than in the case of polyesters.
Epoxy vinylesters, or simply vinylesters or variants of this
system are used in place of polyester when improved
toughness and chemical resistance is needed.
Epoxies
Epoxy resin systems generally consist of two separate

ingredients which must be mixed immediately prior to
processing. One of these is the epoxide or resin part of the
system. Although the constituents of the molecule may be
varied to achieve certain final properties, the key
characteristic is the epoxide or ring like structure at each end
of the molecule, and the fact that there are a number of -OH
groups present on the chain. The cross-linking reaction may
involve both the end groups and the hydroxyl (-OH) groups.
The second ingredient of the resin is the hardener, which is
frequently a primary or secondary amine or an acid anhydride. For
wet laminating and filament winding, the main offshore uses,
amine cured epoxies are preferred. Two different types of amine
may be used; aliphatic amines or aromatic amines.
Aromatic amines give the highest Ta values, and the best
mechanical and chemical properties at high temperature, but they
are most expensive. Aliphatic amines are less expensive and
below 100C their cured resin properties are at least as good as
those of aromatic amines. They do, however, require careful post
curing.
May 1998
Unlike the polyester resins, epoxies lake longer to cure during

processing. Anhydride cured epoxies have excellent properties
and are used in prepeg systems for aerospace and also in large
quantities in piping Systems.
In the case of epoxy prepregs, the reinforcement is impregnated
with resin and cure allowed to progress to an intermediate B-stage
where it is halted. The prepeg is then kept at low temperature until
it is needed for moulding. Prepreg systems are much more
expensive than composites produced by the "wet resin route", but
they do produce products with excellent properties. Some
companies with in-house pre-pregging facilities are beginning to
use prepeg systems for marine construction.
Phenolics
These are the oldest class of synthetic polymers. Recently, many

improvements have taken place in the chemistry of
these resins, which have rendered them suitable for use in
composites. There are two main types of phenolic resin which am
distinguished by the type of curing agent used.
The majority of the liquid resins processed by cold cure are
hardened by the addition of a strong acid catalyst. The catalyst
can cause problems with corrosion of mould tooling and there can
also be difficulties with the alkali content of glass fiber
reinforcements from certain sources, which can interfere with the
action of the curing agent. Most phenolic resins contain a certain
amount of water, and further water is evolved during the cure
reaction. Although most of the water can be removed by a high
temperature post cure, this usually leaves the matrix with a
number of microvoids. Despite this, and despite the fact that the
matrix is relatively brittle in the un-reinforced state, phenolic resin
composites have good mechanical properties, which at room
temperature are comparable to those of composites based on
isophtalic polyester. Because of the presence of the microvoids,
phenolics show a higher level of water absorption than the other
resins but there is little evidence as yet that this causes any long
term deterioration of properties.
The outstanding feature of phenolic resins, which has proved the
driving force behind the development of more easily processed
grades, is their fire performance. They possess relatively good
levels of integrity at high temperatures, have low smoke and
toxicity as well as low levels of heat release. For these reasons,
they may well be the only resin systems which can be tolerated in
laminates facing in critical area's such as accommodation
modules and safe havens. The reason for the good performance
of these resins in tire is that instead of decomposing and
volatilising at high temperatures, the aromatic ring structure in
phenolics condenses progressively, eventually producing a
carbonaceous char, which persists for some time. However, a
disadvantage of phenolics in fire is that any water present in the
laminate can sometimes lead to violent delamination when it
volatiles.
May 1998
Because of their generally attractive attributes in fire, there have

been attempts recently to develop grades or resin that can be
processed by pultrusion. These have met with some limited
success, and there are now two manufacturers in Europe offering
phenolic matrix pultrusions.
Phenolic resins are also used as the basis for foams, which have
excellent insulating properties, combined with low
toxicity. They are unfortunately very friable, which greatly restricts
their feasibility for use as a core for sandwich
panels.
There are, however, a number of phenolic based syntactic core
materials which contain various lightweight mineral
fillers bonded together in a phenolic matrix. Some of these
materials have exceptionally good burn-through
characteristics are therefore viable core materials for heat and
blast protections panels.
In addition to the acid-cured phenolics, there is another class,
known as novolacs, which are cured by alkaline agents. These
resins are favoured for hot cure processes such as press and
prepeg moulding. Recently, to overcome the problems of both
acid and base cured resins, new "neutral curing systems have
been introduced.
Filament-Winding
This is the process by which composite pipework is manufactured,

but which has also the potential to be used for large complex
structures. There are several configurations, but in the most
common one, shown in Figure 3, continuous tows of
reinforcement are drawn through a resin bath to wet them and
then applied, via a transversing feed eye, to a rotating mandrel.
The speed of the feed eye relative to that of the mandrel
determines the winding angle. For pressure piping, a winding
angle of t 550 is normally used. Modern winding machines are
numerically controlled to lay down a precisely controlled number
of covers of reinforcement. For chemical resistance, pipes are
usually provided with a resin rich inner linen This is applied
to the mandrel in the form of a non-woven scrim, soaked in resin.
The reinforcement in the scrim may be either C-glass of nonwoven polyester fabric.
Filament winding is not limited to simple cylindrical shapes:
pipes with bell ends may be wound, as may pressure vessels or
storage tanks with wound in ends. Large structures such as
storage tanks and silos may also be produced by filament
winding. In some cases as with large tanks, the process may be
simplified to one of hoop winding, to minimise the rate at which
the feed eye must transverse the mandrel. When this is done,
spray lay-up of randomly oriented fiber's is often employed in
addition to the hoop winding to give the structure the necessary
transverse strength.
May 1998
The process is not limited to axi-symmetric structures:

prismatic shapes and more complex parts, such as tee-joints may
be wound on machines equipped with the appropriate number of
degrees of freedom. Complex shapes which have been
successfully filament wound include rocket motor casings1 aircraft
fuselages and railroad hopper cars.
In the introduction of pipework, impregnated lows are wound onto
waxed, preheated steel mandrels. After winding these are
removed from the machine to an oven for curing and post curing,
during which the mandrel is continuously rotated to maintain
uniformity or resin content around the circumference. After curing,
the pipe is removed from the mandrel, either by a hydraulic
extractor or by the application of internal pressure. Although most
filament winding operations are batch processes, it is possible to
filament wind continuous pipework.

Calculation Manual for Bondstrand GRE Pipe Systems
1. Introduction
In this Technical Bulletin an overview is given of commonly used

formulas in relation with Glassfibre Reinforced Epoxy piping.
2. Pipe wall thickness
The minimum required walithickness of the pipe is based on design

codes as ASME and ANSI. To most products an inferior liner is added,
consisting of C-veil and resin.
3.Trust forces due to

temperature, pressure
and variation in length
On many occasions the pipe is fabricated to pressure as well as

a varying temperature of the medium. Pressure variation will
cause a length change if the product is unrestrained and due to
the Poisson effect an increase in pressure will shorten the pipe. This is
alas mathematically explained. Expension and contraction due to
temperature variations and internal pressure will either combined or
individual result in thrust forces on the anchoring points
4.Support and Guide

spacing
The formulas for the calculation of the optimal distance between

two supports or guide spacings for single, partial and
continuous spans are given. The calculations take into account density
of the liquid and the weight of the pipe.
5. Bending radius
A slight gradual change in direction or deviation of the pipe may be

obtained by using the flexibility of the pipe. In that case the allowable
bending radius of the glass reinforced epoxy pipe can be calculated
6. Collapse resistance for

liquid
When the external pressure on the pipe may exceed the internal
pressure one has to take into account the collapse resistance of
the pipe This is ruled by equations which differs from those for internal
pressure.
7. Pipe-ring stiffness
To make calculations for earth and wheel-loads on buried pipe, values

have to be used like STIS (= Specific Tangential Initial Stiffness), STES
(= Specific Tangential End Stiffness) and other values, as used in the
U.S.A., Stiffness Factor and Pipe Stiffness.
8. Waterhammer and
surge
Changes in velocity of fluids cause changes in pressure.

Especially when these velocity changes are sudden, they can result in
high forces, which may harm the piping system
9. Head loss or pressure

drop for liquid flow
Head loss or pressure drop can be calculated by using the

Hazen-Williams equation for water and the Darcy-Weisbach for
laminar flows, e.g. for oil. Head loss in fittings are calculated by defining
a corresponding pipe length.

Calculation Manual for Bondstrand GRE Pipe Systems
1. INTRODUCTION
This manual presents the calculations, used by Ameron to calculate the

various aspects related to glass reinforced epoxy (GRE) pipe.
This will help the reader to understand the equations which govern
certain common engineering cases of GRE pipesystems. Also these
equations can be used to make the required calculations.
When making these calculations the input data shoutd be based on the
physical mechanical properties, diameter and walithickness of Ame ron
products by: The spreadsheet presented by Ameron in its documentation
gives these values.
2. PIPEWALL THICKNESS BASED ON INTERNAL PRESSURE

2.1 Wall Thickness
The minimum pipewall thickness is calculated with the formula according

to
ASME I ANSI B31 .3 [1] (Paragnaph A304.1 .2):
ts =
Dp
2 sF + P
(1)
ASTM D-2992 [2] uses the same type of formula to calculate the hoop
stress as follows:
=p
( Da ts )
2ts
(2)
The above mentioned formula has been rearranged to induce the

internal liner and is used by Ameron to calculate the minimum reinforced
wall thickness of Bondstrand pipe as follows:
Minimum reinforced wall thickness in [m]:
ts =
p(d + 2t1)
2sts
p=
2s p
d = t = 2t1

Calculation of blocking saddles
Description
This sheet shows a calculation of maximum allowable forces that

can be restrained by a so called blocking saddle. In the
schematic overview of a typical blocking saddle assembly is
given in the picture below.
Schematic overview of
a typical blocking
assembly
Figure 1.
To be able to calculate the maximum allowable force acting on a

saddle, the allowable shear stress in the bonded surface has to
be calculated first. A two component Ameron type of adhesive
should be used which has a shear stress of 5N/mm2. When a
safety factor of 4 is required, the shear stress value to be used
is:
= 1.25 N/mm2
The maximum allowable force F can than be calculated using the
following formula, using 2 saddles each 180 , so mounting is
360 around the pipe:
F= A = (2*180/360) min.OD L
Where

calculation for higher pressure classes (resulting in thicker wall)
will be more favourable.

2.1 Project Start-up
1. Introduction to the Forcados Terminal Project

In 1994, Ameron FPD-Europe secured an order for the
supply of Bondstrand pipes and fittings for the Forcados
Terminal in Nigeria. The order was negotiated and finalised
with Shell Internationale Petroleum Maatschappij (SIPM),
acting on behalf of the client SPDC, the Oil Company of
Nigeria.
3.1 Taper/Taper jointing system
SNC-Lavalin, an engineering company based in Calgary

and the project was won against severe competition. Although Shell was a partner at that time, Ameron was selected because it offered the best package, technically
and commercially.

largest project executed by Ameron in Nigeria to date.
2. Situation of the Forcados FTIP Project

If you look at the map of the world you will find a town
called Warri in the Delta State of Nigeria, near the Bight
of Benin. The Forcados Terminal is located approximately
47 km Southwest from Warri, in swamps on the Southern
bank of the Forcados River.
Offloading containers
The Forcados Terminal basically provides dehydration-,

storage- and export facilities for the Western Division of
Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Ltd and
other oil-producers in this area. To combine forces, a joint
venture named Forcados Terminal Integrated Project (FTIP)
was set up between Shell, Bouygues Offshore (BOS),
Bouygues Nigeria Ltd (BNL), SNC-Lavalin and several subcontractors.
Ameron International was the selected vendor for the supply of Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) pipe and fittings
with diameters from 2 through 36 inch intended for eight
different piping systems. (table 1)
Containers loaded with Ameron fiberglass pipes
2-1 Project Start-up

In September 1995, the kick-off for the Forcados Terminal
project took place by assembling Bondstrand1 pipes with
Taper adhesive2 bonded joints into spools. A month later,
the first Key-Lock joint was made in the field.
At the end of this project, the total length of installed
Bondstrand pipes with diameters 2-36 inch was more
than 42 km! Over 5.000 mechanical and adhesive bonded
joints were made in a period of 18 months. Almost 30
workers in total, specialised in assembling GRE-pipe systems, were installing Bondstrand pipes on different locations, which were part of the Terminal.
The previous system had been in service for 20 years and
had to be extended and improved to ensure faster processing of oil and produced water. In the current situation, this
system is updated for another 25 years.
European field engineers supervised locally trained fiberglass
pipe fitters. Ameron had a contract with Shell to provide an
Ameron Field Service Engineer to supervise the overall
Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy piping installation and ensure
the pipe installation was done in accordance with Ameron
installation procedures.

2-2 Advantages of Bondstrand Fiberglass pipes

The Forcados Terminal is situated on reclaimed land. The
old Terminal, in service for many years, needed a complete
overhaul. Also, environmental improvement was required
through an up-dated system.
Another important issue is the fact that the water table
around the Island is moving with the tide of the sea, which
results in a higher percentage of salt in the soil than under
regular conditions. In addition, most of the systems contain corrosive fluids, such asd crude oil and solvated fluids.
Ameron GRE pipes were selected because of the

following major advantages.
Bondstrand Fiberglass pipes are:
Having low installation costs.
Designed for a minimal lifetime of 25 years service.
Non corrosive.
Maintenance-free.
Easy to handle.
3. Ameron used jointing systems

3-1 TAPER/TAPER (T/T) joint
Taper/Taper adhesive bonded joints are used for 10 to 75
bar pressure ratings (depending on pipe size). Pipe sizes
are available in sizes 50 1000 mm (2 40). Spigots as
well as bell ends are tapered. Due to the conical shape of
both bell and spigot axial forces are equally divided into all
laminate layers.
The contact surface is bonded with a non-filling adhesive
with matching male and female ends offering a controlled
adhesive thickness.
Taper/Taper
Key-Lock
3-2 KEY-LOCK (KL) joint

A Key-Lock connection is
a restrained mechanical
joint, which is fast and easy
to install.Sealing is achieved
by means of a rubber O ring
which is installed on the Key
Lock male end. After the
pipe insertion, a nylon key,
is introduced from the outside of the female end, will
lock the joint connection.
Subject to size and pressure
,one or two keys are used.
The Key Lock pipe system,
in combination with Tapered
bonded fittings is available in
sizes 50 1000 mm
(2 40).
4. Various installed piping systems

As mentioned earlier, eight different piping systems were
installed for this project.
1. Fire Water System: the 18 steel fire main was
replaced and extended by a new 18 Key-lock
Bondstrand system.
2. Service Water System: The Service water will run to
different parts of the new Terminal where the water will
be used for instance as cooling water.
3. Open drain systems: An Accidental Oil Contamination line (AOC-line) was installed. This system can
control all the excessive water during the rain season.
Sizes from 4 to 36 were chosen.
4. Closed drain system: A Continuous Oil Contamination line (COC) was installed. The system offers different options between the old and new part of the terminal for its usage and can flow in different directions.
5. Sewage Network System: The Sewage system was
assembled with small GRE sizes between several buildings.
6. Produced Water: Pipe ring lines 36 and 24 diameters
were installed from the old terminal round the existing
tanks to control the produced water.
7. Foam System: Inside the old Terminal 6 pipe systems were installed underground. Above ground pipes
are made of steel and reach the top of tanks where a
foam spray system is installed for fire fighting protection.
8. Potable Water System: Small sized lines were installed
to supply drinking water to several buildings in the terminal.
9. Water disposal line. 36 Key-Lock line 5 Km from the
terminal towards the coast.
When the job was completed, only 5% of the total 42.000
meters was visible, as the systems are mainly buried at a
depth of 1 to 3 meters. Advantages of a buried system are:
36" Key-Lock connection
Less sensitive to impact or sabotage.

Better environmental influence.
Different Forcados site areas can be reached easily
without crossing piping networks.

Especially to be highlighted, is the Water Disposal Line

(WDL) which consists of Bondstrand Series 3412 Key
Lock pipe and Bondstrand Series 3412 Taper/Taper pipe,
both systems designed for 12 bar.
The Forcados Term inalproduces 5.000 m 3 water per hour
(2,4 m/s) and can be increased to 7.950 m3 water per hour
(3,5 m/s).
The procedure is as follows: First water is separated and
decontaminated up to 50ppm of hydrocarbons from the
crude oil, inside the Terminal. From here produced water is
pumped from the Terminal through Glassfiber Reinforced
Epoxy 36 series BS 3412 pipes, known as the so-called
Beach-line, towards the coast. There it ties in with the
steel/cement lined sub-sea pipeline, which transports the
water 5,5 km offshore, where it will run through a diffuser
into the ocean, so sufficient dilution occurs and prevents
any adverse affect on the coastal environment.
Total length of the onshore Bondstrand pipeline section

is 4.500 meters 36 Key Lock pipe. This means 380 standard 12-meter lengths were connected with a mechanical
Key-Lock joint.
Pipes transported for the 36 WDL
A 36 Key-Lock tie in spool at a stream crossing
Key-Lock pipes are being connected for the WDL.

To give an example: for a 36 Key-Lock joint a 25mm thick O ring
and a 3 meter long 25mm thick nylon key is used.
Before the line was globally tested, reducing saddles were

installed. A total of 15 saddles 36 x 6 were bonded in
place. Vacuumbreakers were installed on the locations
where the saddles were bonded. Vacuumbreakers are required to prevent the line from being subjected to a possible vacuum during operation.
Despite the extreme Nigerian climate with temperatures

over 38C and a relative humidity above 90%, sometimes
combined with days of constant heavy rainfall (which has
caused amongst others collapsing trenches), The
Bondstrand team was able to lay 30 lengths of pipes
during each 10-hour working day.
The team consisted of 8 people:
1 foreman;
2 men for off loading the pipes from the road side
2 men for cleaning, greasing the pipes, pulling and
driving the keys;
2 men for pipe alignment and swinging the pipe to
ease insertion;
1 crane operator, with a 100 ton crane, specifically for
swampy areas.
When the rain-season started it was necessary to find a
way to prevent the pipe from floating. To do so, the pipeline
was filled with water, during the installation. If the pipe would
have been empty the line would have come off its original
position or even come to the surface. First, two soft foam
pigs were pushed from the starting end by the water to
clear the line from air and keep the pipe down on its position. At the same time, water was used to perform hydrotests
after finishing installation.
In total the line was tested in 3 sections prior to installation
of the tie-in spool to the Steel beach line. Bondstrand
again proved to be more cost effective as this 36 pipeline
could be installed in the swamps without any extra installation costs.
A 36 x 6 Saddle is bonded on the 36 3412 Key-Lock line.

A vacuumbreaker will be installed.
5. Design & Testing

5-1 Design
The Engineering office SNC-Lavalin performed the main design for this project. Ameron FPD-Europe was involved at a
very early stage of the project. The design particulars were
discussed in several meetings. Advantage that Ameron
FPD-Europe had over its competitors was to offer standard
pipe lengths with fiberglass build-up where the taper outlets could be bonded at any required location. Below, please
find a scheme of the system which allowed to cut costs on
reducing tees.
Two samples of each component variant have been tested

according to test method ASTM D-1598 at 65C. The calculated test pressure was 50 bar. (See table 2 for test results). Five samples have been tested according to ASTM
D-1599 to determine the Short Time Hydraulic-failure Pressure (STHP) of each component variant.
This STHP was used as a baseline value for comparison
with quality control tests. The complete test program was
witnessed by a third party inspection agency. The test program has been completed successfully.

5-2 Testing
A large qualification test program was executed, in order
to qualify the chosen Bondstrand pipe series.
Qualification was done according to Shell Dep.
31.40.10.31.GEN (October 1992), option 1: medium-term
(1000 hours) survival tests.

Insects and diseases were also obstacles for all workers

on the job-site. Such as Ts-ts flies, bees, rats, snakes

tropical diseases or simply bites, free of charge
The rainy season in this part of Nigeria is long and intensive,
turning the dry and dusty site into a muddy and spongy
pool in minutes threatening the work that was done only a
few days earlier.
6-2 Trenching
As a result, trenches could be rapidly destroyed when
heavy rain was splashing down. To keep damages to a
minimum, a draining system was installed at one side of
the pipe trench. This system worked perfect.

Prior to installation, BNL, Civil Department of the JointVenture, prepared the trench, which included trench excavation, compaction of the trench bedding and partial
backfilling of the line. After this the line was hydrotested
and compacted in layers until backfilling was complete.
Fighting the Buoyancy effect
6-3 Road crossings

In order to protect the GRE pipe at road crossings, steel
pipe casing were used.
Once the trench bedding was compacted, a steel casing
was lowered down the trench, then the GRE pipes were
slid in after been clamped with Centralisers to be protected from damage. At both ends of the steel casing,
rubber end seals were installed; this was done to prevent
the soil from pooring into the steel casing. Finally the trench
was covered with screened sand and properly compacted.
Pipe spools installed
6-4 Spool prefabrication

A special on-site prefabrication workshop was established
for this particular project. A prefab team was established
with 8 to 12 local steel pipe fitters.
When the weather was stable the pipefitting team assembled approximately 200 bondings each 10-hour day, including cutting and shaving of the pipe. This means for example 50 joints 4, or 6 joints 36".
The biggest advantage for on-site prefabrication of spools

was that the spools could be modified according to
site requirements.
Trench compacting
Other advantages:
Transportation cost for pipes & fittings were economised as the 40ft containers were fully loaded. More
containers would have been used if complete spools
had been made in Europe resulting in some 50% higher
transportation costs.
Far less problems. Limited spool modifications required
on site.
Local labour costs for prefab spool works are lower
than European labour costs.
A 36 Taper bonding for spool fabrication
Due to high humidity, all bondings were pre-heated

prior to bonding, to remove the moisture from the
pipe spigot and socket surfaces.
While the project was on-going, the workshop was extended

to fabricate larger spool sizes, 30" and 36. For large pipe
sizes above 24, the new developed M95 pipe shaver was
used. The M95 Shaver can shave a 36 pipe spigot within
10 minutes after it has been set-up and can be used as a
workshop shaver.
During the prefabrication of spools most of the spools were
stacked on a lay down area. From there pipes and spools
were taken to their final location on site.
Spool fabrication
7. Conclusion
8. Literature
After the successful completion of the FTIP Forcados

project, all parties agreed that the continuous involvement
of the Ameron Engineering Team was instrumental to the
low installation cost of Bondstrand pipe systems.
- Engineering department Ameron FPD-Europe.

- Shell Petroleum Development Co. (West) of Nigeria.
- Pictures taken by Ameron Field Service Engineers.
Also high-lighted was the fact, that:

An Ameron qualified field service engineer is
highly recommended on site during installation.
On-site prefabrication of spools can be an ideal
solution to all parties involved to optimise
transport costs and to allow spool modifications.
Local labour can keep a perfect quality in the
fabrication of spools, at a lower cost than in Europe.
Special Thanks
The Ameron Engineering Team thanks everybody who
worked with them on this project at the Geldermalsen plant,
as well as in the field. As a result of this teamwork it was
possible to successfully complete this project to benefit all
parties involved.

Product Notes
FIBERGLASS - COMPOSITE PIPE GROUP
Weathering & UV Resistance of

Fiberglass Piping Systems
General
All thermosetting and thermoplastic materials are susceptible to ultraviolet (UV)

degradation upon prolonged exposure to sunlight. The degree of UV degradation
varies depending on the chemical composition of the materials, however, the
breakdown is primarily a surface phenomenon. The rate at which degradation may
occur varies based on the availability of air, water, oxygen and other oxidizing agents.
Numerous antioxidants and UV absorbers can be added to materials of high resin
content to retard UV degradation. Currently, no means exist to totally eliminate this
phenomenon.
The major concern regarding UV attack on fiberglass pipe is the loss of physical strength
through degradation of the resin-glass bond. Since UV degradation is a surface
phenomenon, the most efficient means of prolonging the integrity of the reinforcement is
to place a resin-rich protective layer between the structural fiberglass and the outer
surface. The thicker the surface coating, the better the weathering characteristics. The
use of pigments, dyes or fillers in the resin system will also improve weathering characteristics by helping to screen out the ultraviolet light.
Ameron employs a combination of techniques to protect the fiberglass bond from
UV attack. All fiberglass pipe produced by Ameron is manufactured on rotating mandrels.
This continuous motion results in a uniform resin-rich coating on the pipe exterior which
enhances its weather resistance. Pigments or dyes are incorporated into the resin system
to act as a further barrier to UV penetration into the laminate. Certain piping products may
also be overwrapped with an organic veil layer to provide even greater UV resistance.
Even if dry fiberglass appears on the outer surface, independent testing has shown it to
have no measurable effect on performance. If aesthetics are important, fiberglass pipe can
be covered with a high-grade acrylic or epoxy based coating.
Warranty
Ameron warrants its standard products against reduction of performance or corrosion

ratings due to UV exposure for a period of 15 years from date of purchase.

Rodent and Bacteria Attack

on fiberglass-reinforced piping systems
Introduction
Attacks by rodents on the protective coatings on metallic piping, electrical

insulation and thermoplastic piping occur with some frequency and are
well documented. These incidents, all involving conventional
thermoplastics, naturally give rise to questions about the performance of
fiberglass piping under the same conditions. In the case of rodent attack,
fiberglass-reinforced piping can be exposed to rodents without any
detrimental effects whatever
Rodents and thermoplastics
Rodents are attracted to thermoplastics for two

1.
The plasticisers in some thermoplastics (especially PVC) taste
and smell good to many rodents. It has even been reported that "some
thermoplastics have a nutritive value for rodents.. [the thermoplastics
are] good for them."
2.
Rodents need to chew and gnaw. Nature provides them with teeth
that continually grow in length and which they need to pare down to a
manageable size. Hence, they will gnaw at almost anything they can
fracture with their jaws.
Rodents and thermosets
The major reasons why rodents am not attracted to FAP are as follows:
1.
When fully cured, the thermosetting epoxy and vinyl ester resins
used in Ameron pipe and fittings are tasteless and odorless, thus offering
no attraction for rodents.
2.
The surface of fiberglass pipe and fittings is very hard and difficult
to dent. Them is no place for a rodent to begin gnawing.
The experience of Ameron and other pipe manufacturers bears out these
statements.
Microbial attack
The components of fiberglass piping systems do not provide an

environment which supports bacterial growth. The material by itself will not
induce such growth nor would it be affected by it. Ameron fiberglass pipe
has been installed in diverse climactic and soil conditions both below and
above ground for many years. It has been exposed to a broad spectrum of
the world's known bacterial strains without a documented case of bacterial
attack.
