Listings

Meets USFDA requirements for food processing piping under Federal Regulations
21CFR175.105 and 21CFR177.2420 when assembled with RP-105B vinyl ester
adhesive.

Performance

Working pressure from 150 to 450 psig (1 to 3.1 MPa) depending on pipe size.
Operating temperatures to 200F (93C). Subzero temperatures will not adversely
affect mechanical properties.
Excellent corrosion resistance over a wide temperature range. See most recent
release of Bondstrand Corrosion Guide (FP132) for specific applications.
Does not require thrust blocks at ambient temperatures when properly installed in
most soils.
Smooth inner liner (Hazen-Williams C = 150) produces extremely low frictional loss
for greater discharge and reduced pumping costs.
Low thermal conductivity minimizes heat losses.
Individual system components may not have the same ratings as the pipe. Refer
to the detailed product information for the specific components to determine the
pressure rating for the system as a whole.

1) Do not bend pipe until adhesive has cured. At rated pressure sharper bends may create
excessive stress concentrations.

least 3 ft (1 m) of cover,
Thrust blocks
Most properly bedded installations do not require thrust blocks. Consult Ameron for

Span lengths

Recommended maximum support spacings for Bondstrand 5000 vinyl ester pipe
at various operating temperatures. Values based on 0.5-inch (12 mm) deflection at
midspan for fluid specific gravity = 1.0. For fully continuous spans, values may be
increased up to 20%. Decrease values by 20% for single spans.

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-term
deflection of 1/2 inch to ensure good appearance and adequate drainage.
3) Fully continuous spans may be used with support spacing up to 20%
greater for this deflection: in simple spans, support spacing should be
20% less.

Field testing

Bondstrand 5000 piping systems are designed for hydrostatic field testing at 150%
of rated operating pressure. Pneumatic testing is not recommended.

Bondstrand Guide Specification

Pipe construction

The structural wall of fiberglass pipe in 2 through 16-inch sizes shall have
continuous glass fibers wound at a 543/4 helical angle in a matrix of premium vinyl
ester resin.
The integral, reinforced resin-rich liner shall consist of Nexus veil and a
resin/hardener system identical to that of the structural wall, and shall have a 50-mil
nominal thickness. Non-reinforced pure resin-type corrosion barriers (liners) shall
not be allowed due to their potential for severe fracturing during transportation,
installation and operation of the pipe.
Pipe in 2 through 16-inch sizes shall be rated for a minimum of 150 psig at 200F. In
2 through 8-inch sizes the pipe shall have full vacuum capability at 70F, when
installed above ground with a safety factor of 3:1.
Pipe shall be manufactured according to ASTM D2996 specification for filamentwound Reinforced Thermosetting Resin Pipe (RTRP). When classified under ASTM
D2310, the pipe shall meet Type 1, Grade 2 and Class E (RTRP-12ED) cell limits in 2
through 16-inch nominal pipe sizes.
Filament-wound vinyl ester fiberglass pipe shall be gray.
Pipe in 2 through 8-inch sizes shall be furnished in 30-ft length to minimize the
number of field-bonded joints for rapid installation.

Standard fittings
construction

Fittings in 2 through 16-inch sizes shall be filament wound with a reinforced resinrich liner of equal or greater thickness than the pipe liner and of the same glass and
resin type as the pipe.
Compression-molded fittings in 2, 3, 4 and 6-inch nominal sizes may also be
allowed upon agreement between purchaser and manufacturer.
Contact-molded, spray-up or hand-layup fittings shall not be allowed. Pipe and
fittings shall be joined using a straight spigot by socket with a 0.5 taper angle and a
pipe stop inside the socket to allow precise makeup.

Workmanship

The pipe and fittings shall be free from all defects, including delaminations,
indentations, pinholes, foreign inclusions, bubbles and resin-starved areas which,
due to their nature, degree or extent, detrimentally affect the strength and
serviceability of the pipe or fittings. The pipe and fittings shall be as uniform as
commercially practicable in color, density and other physical properties.

Testing

Samples of pipe and couplings shall be tested at random, based on standard quality
control practices to determine conformance of the materials to American Society for
Testing of Materials guidelines for testing fiberglass pipe products: ASTM D1599,
D2105, D2925, D2992A or D2992B.
Test samples may be hydrostatically tested by the manufacturer to 1.5 times the
pressure rating for signs of leakage.
