1. Scope
Scope of the present document is to supply the guidelines for a correct installation of above ground
GRP pipes.

2. Application
The present procedure is applicable to above ground GRP pipelines for the transport of fluids with or
without pressure.

3. Procedure
Above ground installations can be roughly divided into two categories:
a) lines which laid directly on the surface of the ground
b) lines which are hung or supported as in a typical plant

In case a) it is anyway advisable to support the pipe by means of wooden or concrete sleepers, in order to
avoid pipe damage by stones and another sharp object. In nearly all aboveground applications tensile
resistant couplings should be used. Only in case of well supported pipe lines for non-pressure applications a
non-tensile resistant system can be used.

Horizontal pipe should be supported at intervals suggested by the support spacing data.

For the supporting of pipe systems several types of pipe clips can be used. Line contacts and point loads
should be avoided, therefore between pipe and steel collar, a PVC saddle or a protective rubber layer should
be provided to minimize abrasion. The PVC saddle is inserted when free axial sliding of the pipe must be
permitted (axial guide). The width of the clamp should be in accordance with ASA or equivalent.
The clips must fit firmly but must not apply excessive force to the pipe wall. This could result in
deformations and excessive wall stresses. The pipe must be allowed to expand within its clamps.

Heavy equipment (valves etc.) have to be supported independently from the pipe to avoid overloading in
both horizontal and vertical directions. Excessive loading in vertical runs are to be avoided. Changes of
temperature, due to operating conditions or ambient, give changes of length and end loading on GRP pipe,

which have to be properly manufactured in order to keep values of stress and strain lower than the allowable
ones. In case of long pipeline or excessive changes of temperature, expansion loops or expansion joints will
be necessary. An anchor must positively restrain the movement of the pipe against all applied forces.
Anchors can be installed in both horizontal and vertical directions.

Pipe anchors divide a pipe system into sections and must be attached to structural material capable of
withstanding any applied forces. In some cases pumps, tanks and other similar equipment function as
anchors. Additional anchors are usually located at valves, changes in direction of piping and major branch
connections.

When applying unrestrained joints or mechanical couplers, pipe lines must be anchored at each change of
direction.

Anyway, the correct location of anchor points shall be settled after a detailed stress analysis. For securing
clamp, it is suggested to apply a GRP lamination on each side of the clamp. If the movement of the pipe
shall be restrained only in one direction, it is sufficient to apply just one overlay in the opposite position.
Sideways movement is to be prevented by clamping. When installing Double O-Ring Lock Joint, these
must be fully stretched in order to prevent movement of pipe sections and overloading at points of changes
in direction such as bends and tees. It is preferable to apply mechanical stretch but stretching can also be
done by pressurising the main line (0.8 x Working Pressure). The results can be observed by inspection of
the position of the locking strip through the insert hole. Stretching should be applied before installing
branch connections.

Should connections be necessary with machinery or bodies subject to vibrations, such as pumps or other
equipment, it is a good engineering practice to avoid a direct link with such systems, because vibrations
induce stresses on GRP pipe, which may prevail over the allowable value. A severe condition of vibration
occurs when the generating frequency is equal or near the natural frequency of the pipeline. A usual method
to avoid vibrations is to install a flexible joint between the source of vibration and the pipe. GRP pipe
exposed to sunlight is not subject to resin degradation, due to ultraviolet radiation, because pipe contains,
through the whole wall thickness, inhibitors which prevent said degradation.
