Consequence of Poor Steel Design


Strength of steel element has significant impact on
the integrity of Fiberglass piping system. There
are many cases that weaken steel support
element result in Fiberglass piping damage by
excessive movement.

NOV Fiber Glass System - <Bondstand Pipe Bonder Training Program>

21 February 2014

Supporting Inspection Focus


Support Span within recommendation;
Support type and location are in accordance
with design (Drawings, calculation &
analysis);
Comment on the design (Advisory only);
Curvature of steel clamp against pipe OD;
Protection (Between pipe surface and steel
element) method and materials;
The integrity of each individual support
installation, such as bolting, welding,
Strength of the steel element, feedback to
design engineering if it is concern about the
strength of steel structure.

Fabrication and Installation Tolerances


Good tolerances control could ensure success in
installation; reduce the possibility of leak at field
joint; reduce the possibility of damage due to
force on mismatched pipes; reduce/eliminate
modification work,
Recommended Fabrication Tolerances
Installation Dimensional Tolerances
o Refer to tolerance of different type of joints
such as flange joint, mechanical o-ring joint.
o Project specification

Hook-up to Equipment / Other Material


To prevent damage to both equipment and fiberglass
piping system, attention shall be given when fiberglass
piping is hooked up to equipment and other piping
materials.
Hook-up to Equipment
o Equipment (Including fire hydrant, ballast
eductor, .) shall be independently anchored,
o Allowable alignment to avoid excessive stress,
o Control torque value strictly if equipment
connection is cast iron material,
o Dismantle piece is recommended for testing and
equipment maintenance.
NOV Fiber Glass System - <Bondstand Pipe Bonder Training Program>

Hook-up to Equipment / Other Material


Hook-up to Other Piping Materials
Other piping material shall be fully anchored
near interface point, to prevent movement
transfer to fiberglass piping system.
Connecting to welding metallic piping
o It is recommended to complete welding work
prior to jointing fiberglass piping;
o Otherwise, cooling method must be adopted
to prevent welding heat transferred to
fiberglass piping
Connecting to threaded metallic piping
o Pay attention to threading standard, such as
NPT, BSP, BSPP, and so on,
o Fiberglass material must be properly held to
prevent damage due to threading torque.

21 February 2014

Burst Test
Burst Test is normally used for product
qualification, procedure qualification and
bonder qualification.
Minimum burst pressure shall be reached or
exceeded between 60s and 70s;
Minimum burst pressure is different from base
materials and product pressure rating: - In
general
o Standard Epoxy Products: 4 Times
o Standard Vinyl ester Products: 3 Times
o Standard Polysiloxane-Phenolic Products:
4 Times
o Consult NOV FGS for non-standard
products

Reference: ASTM D1599 Standard Test Method for Resistance to


Short-Time Hydraulic Pressure of Plastic Pipe, Tube, and Fittings

Qualification Holding Test


Qualification Holding Test is normally used for
bonder qualification program.
Generally, pressure will be lower than required
burst test pressure, and higher than normal
hydro-test pressure;
Holding pressure and holding duration are
different from each rules and/or standard;
o ISO 14692: - 1.75*Pq (Product Qualified Pressure)
or 3.07*Pd,max for sustained piping (2.61*Pd,max
for buried piping); Duration 1 hour
o ABS & BV: - 2.5*Pd,max, Duration 1 hour

Acceptance Criteria:
o No joint separation, no leaking
o Pressure drop is accountable and reinstated
immediately

Fabricated Spool Testing


Spool Testing is normally used to verify quality of
fabrication joints.
Test pressure determination: 1.5 times of
design pressure of the weakest component on
the spool.
Recommended Test Duration: 10 minutes
Special end blind/plug required for variety of
spool end configuration
Limitation: Some fabricated spools could not
be tested due to end configuration and size
(Refer to ITP for more details):
o Spool with Taper Male end,
o Spool with QL Female and Taper Female
and greater than 16

System Hydro-testing
System Hydrotesting is carried out on installed
piping system to verify fabricated joints, site
joints, as well as the integrity of the installed
piping system.
Prior to Hydro-Testing
o All piping supports must be completed;
o For underground piping, sufficient partial
backfill and temporary block must be in
place to prevent excessive movement;
o High point vents / low point drains in place;
o Removing/isolating components that shall
be excluded from hydro-testing;
NOV Fiber Glass System - <Bondstand Pipe Bonder Training Program>

21 February 2014

System Hydro-testing
Test Pressure
o 1.5 times of design pressure
o 1 hour holding minimum, or sufficient time to carry
out line check, or project specification whichever
is longer
Testing Equipment
o Quick closing valve and booster pump without
suitable control shall not be used, to avoid surge;
o Pressure gauges and instrument must be
calibrated;
o Appropriate pressure gauges shall be selected,
the test pressure shall be between 30% to 75% of
reading range
o If possible, pressure recorder shall be used;

System Hydro-testing
Hydro-Testing
Pressure build up process:
o The test pressure shall be raised over a
period of 30minutes of longer.
o Slowly and gradually to allow for equalizing for
strain, and also in stages to allow for
inspection.
Inspection
o Instrument reading
o Visual inspection of joints, pipes and fittings
24 hour holding @ 1.1xdesign pressure
(ISO14692:4)
Acceptance criteria
o No sign of leaking or weeping
o No significant pressure lost
NOV Fiber Glass System - <Bondstand Pipe Bonder Training Program>

21 February 2014

System Hydro-testing
Possible causes of pressure change
o Effect of joint expansion and material
creep;
o Effect of temperature (Morning, afternoon,
night, under sun, and so on), take
precaution to prevent over-pressure
Other Concerns
o Glycol antifreeze shall be added when test
is carry out in subzero temperature.
o Instrument to prevent from buckling in case
of sudden depressurization
o Safety aspects, such as qualified operator,
signs and notices, operation procedures .
Shall be in placed.

21 February 2014

Conductivity Test
NOV FGS conductive product series incorporate
high strength conductive filaments and joint with
conductive adhesive, to prevent accumulation of
potentially dangerous levels of static electrical
charges.
Tools / Instrument
o Ohm Meter (Recommendation: 0~20 M-Ohm)
o Wet/Damp Sponge (To extend coverage of
nodes)
Application
o Fabricated Spool Test
o Installed Piping System Test
Reference: Procedure for Conductivity and
Grounding.

21 February 2014

Conductivity Test
Placement of Probes
o Pipe external wall (Resin rich top surface shall
be removed)
o Back of Flange
o Inner surface of fittings
o Lug of bonded grounding saddle
o Adhesive fillet at bonding joint
o Adjacent steel structure or metallic piping or
equipment

Conductivity Test
Fabricated Spool Test
o The test(s) shall cover all joint(s) and all
component
Installed piping test
o Selective piping sections with consideration
of field bonding joint, and the effect of
mechanical joint(s)

21 February 2014

Conductivity Test
Acceptance Criteria: Reading is not exceeding
1.0 Mega Ohm:
o Between any points for fabricated spool;
o Between fiberglass piping and adjacent
grounding structure, metallic piping or
equipment;
o Between piping sections if there is no
mechanical joint (Such as Double O-Ring,
Key-Lock, Dresser Coupling)

Other Test Methods


The hydrotest is considered to provide the best
assurance of a GRP pipe systems integrity,
and is more reliable than other NDE
techniques for assessing that the system has
been properly fabricated and installed.
ISO14962-4, Annex-E
Ultrasonic Testing
o Areas in bonded pipe joints lacking
adhesive, however, it is unable to tell poor
adhesion;
o Delaminations, voids;
o Deviations in wall thickness (20%);

NOV Fiber Glass System - <Bondstand Pipe Bonder Training Program>

21 February 2014

Other Test Methods


Radiographic Testing
o Incorrect wall thickness, up to 20%
deviation
o Voids, Lack of Adhesive, however, poor
adhesion could not be identified
o Excessive adhesive on inner wall

NOV Fiber Glass System - <Bondstand Pipe Bonder Training Program>

21 February 2014

Other Test Methods


Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Barcol
Hardness Testing
o Improper mix of adhesive / resin mix
o The glass transition temperature (Tg) of our
adhesive systems is difficult to measure because
each of the components in the formulation has
different phase transition over a temperature
range. This different phase obscures the change in
heat absorption of the epoxy system at its
transition and makes it difficult to determine actual
Glass transition.
