Dualoy 3000/L Fiberglass Pipe and Fittings

nonmetallic underground piping for petroleum products, alcohols, alcohol-gasoline mixtures and MTBE fluids

Scope This specification covers the approval, performance, materials and physical

properties requirements for buried piping in 2 to 6-inch (50 to 150 mm) diameters for working pressures to 300 psi (2.07 MPa) and temperatures ranging from

-40 to 150°F (-40 to 66°C) for petroleum products, alcohols and alcohol-gasoline mixtures.

FP275G (2/00)

Listings All components furnished under this specification shall be listed with Underwriters

Laboratories (UL) or Underwriters’ Laboratories of Canada (ULC) for use as nonmetallic underground piping for petroleum products, alcohols and alcohol-gasoline mixtures. All pipe, fittings and adhesives must demonstrate performance which meets or surpasses testing specified in UL subject 971 for all fluids. Dualoy 3000/L pipe and fittings are also listed in the Netherlands with KIWA (Ref. ATA no. 2062/1-E) and in the U.K. with IP.

Performance requirements

Pipe and fittings and adhesives shall be suitable for continuous operation at the pressures listed below at a sustained temperature of 150°F (66°C). The pipe shall have an integral epoxy liner and a reinforced epoxy exterior coating.

Materials

Pipe

All filament-wound pipe shall contain a resin-rich inner liner with a minimum thickness of

0.015 inches (0.38 mm). The liner resin system shall be a chemically resistant epoxy resin that has been demonstrated to be satisfactory for the intended service.

Structural wall

The resins, reinforcements, colorants and other materials when combined as a composite laminate structure shall meet the performance requirements of this specification. Glass fiber reinforcement shall be Type E glass with an epoxycompatible finish. Glass fiber content shall not be less than 60% by weight of the reinforced structural wall.

Exterior coating

The pipe exterior shall have a 0.005-inch (0.13 mm) thick resin-rich coating with an organic fibrous reinforcement.
