Where pressure ratings other than the nominal values in Table 2 are to be supplied, by agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser, the pressure marking PN on the component shall be replaced by PN v where v is the number equal to the components nominal pressure.
Components marked PN1 are non-pressure (gravity) components.
4.2 Materials 4.2.1 General The pipe or fitting shall be constructed using chopped and/or continuous glass filaments, strands or rovings, mats or fabric synthetic veils, and polyester resin with or without fillers and if applicable additives necessary to impart specific properties to the resin. The pipe or fitting may also incorporate aggregates, and if required, a thermoplastics liner. 4.2.2 Reinforcement The glass used for the manufacture of the reinforcement shall be one of the following types: a) a type 'E' glass, comprising primarily either oxides of Silicon, Aluminium and Calcium (alumino–calcosilicate glass) or Silicon, Aluminium and Boron (alumino-borosilicate glass); b) a type 'C' glass, comprising primarily oxides of Silicon, Sodium, Potassium, Calcium and Boron (alkali calcium glass with an enhanced boron trioxide content) which is intended for applications requiring enhanced chemical resistance. In either of these types of glass small amounts of oxides of other metals will be present. NOTE
These descriptions for 'C' glass and 'E' glass are consistent with, but more specific than those given in
EN ISO 2078:1994 [3]. The reinforcement shall be made from continuously drawn filaments of a glass conforming to type E or type C, and shall have a surface treatment compatible with the resin to be used. It may be used in any form, e.g. as continuous or chopped filaments, strands or rovings, mat or fabric. 4.2.3 Resin The resin used in the structural layer (see 4.3.2) shall have a temperature of deflection of at least 70 °C when tested in accordance with Method A of EN ISO 75-2:2004. 4.2.4 Aggregates and fillers The size of particles in aggregates and fillers shall not exceed 1/5 of the total wall thickness of the pipe or fitting or 2,5 mm, whichever is the lesser. 4.2.5 Thermoplastic liners The thermoplastic liner may require a bonding material compatible with all other materials used in the pipe construction. SIST EN 1796:2006+A1:2009

4.3.3 Outer layer The design of the outer layer of the pipe shall take into account the environment in which the pipe is to be used. This layer shall be formed of a thermosetting resin with or without aggregates or fillers and with or without a reinforcement of glass or synthetic filaments. The use of special constructions is permitted when the pipe is expected to be exposed to extreme climatic, environmental or ground conditions, for example provision for the inclusion of pigments or inhibitors for extreme climatic conditions or fire retardation. The resin used in this outer layer need not conform to the temperature of deflection requirements in 4.2.3. 4.4 Appearance Both internal and external surfaces shall be free from irregularities, which would impair the ability of the component to conform to the requirements of this standard.
4.5 Reference conditions for testing 4.5.1 Temperature The mechanical, physical and chemical properties specified in all clauses of this standard shall, unless otherwise specified, be determined at (23 ± 5)°C.
For service temperatures over 35 °C and up to and including 50 °C type tests shall, unless otherwise specified, be carried out at least at the design service temperature (see 3.29)
50+°C, to establish re-rating factors for all long-term properties to be used in design. 4.5.2 Properties of water for testing The water used for the tests referred to in this standard shall be tap water having a pH of (7 ± 2). SIST EN 1796:2006+A1:2009

Routine measurements shall be determined at the prevailing temperature or if the manufacturer prefers at the temperature specified in 4.5.1. 4.6 Elapsed time for determination of long-term properties, (x) The subscript x, in for example Sx,wet (see 3.8), denotes the elapsed time for which the long-term property is to be determined. Unless otherwise specified, the long-term properties shall be determined at 50 years (438 000 h). 4.7 Joints 4.7.1 General If requested, the manufacturer shall declare the length and the maximum external diameter of the assembled joint. 4.7.2 Types of joint A joint shall be classified as either flexible (see 3.37) or rigid (see 3.38) and in each case whether or not it is capable of resisting end-loads. 4.7.3 Flexibility of the jointing system 4.7.3.1 Allowable maximum angular deflection The manufacturer shall declare the allowable maximum angular deflection for which each joint is designed. Except for locked joints, flexible joints shall have an allowable maximum angular deflection that is not less than the following applicable value: a) 3° for pipes and/or fittings with a nominal size equal to or less than DN 500; b) 2° for pipes and/or fittings with a nominal size greater than DN 500 and equal to or less than DN 900; c) 1° for pipes and/or fittings with a nominal size greater than DN 900 and equal to or less than DN 1800; d) 0,5° for pipes and/or fittings with a nominal size greater than DN 1800. The manufacturer of locked joints, shall declare for each joint its allowable maximum angular deflection. Flexible joints intended to be used at pressures greater than 16 bar may have lower allowable maximum angular deflections than those given in this clause, by declaration and agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser.

NOTE
In standardising the diameters of (GRP-UP) pipes, difficulties are encountered because of the varying methods of manufacture (e.g. filament winding, centrifugal casting or contact moulding). GRP-UP pipes are typically produced by controlling either the internal diameter, or the external diameter to a fixed value. 5.1.1.2 Nominal size The nominal size, DN, shall be chosen from those given in Table 3 SIST EN 1796:2006+A1:2009
