ASTM F2686 – Standard Specification for Glass Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipe

1.1 This specification covers coiled, machine-made glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic pipe2 up to 6 in. nominal size, having discrete, unbonded inner and outer layers of thermoplastic compounds and an intermediate structural layer of unbonded, dry glass fiber reinforcement to provide higher strength. Included are a classification system and requirements for materials, mechanical properties, dimensions, performance, methods of test, and marking. Reinforced thermoplastic pipes are used for oil and gas applications, including transport of multiphase fluids, hydrocarbon gases, hydrocarbon liquids and non-potable water.
