Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

Introduction
Polyethylene reinforced with short glass fibres (PE-sGF) piping systems are pipe systems which consist
of pipes produced by adding short glass fibres into high density polyethylene resins. Their physical and
mechanical properties are influenced by short glass fibre orientation.
The technology of production of PE-sGF pipes is completely different from that traditionally used during
PE pipes extrusion. For this reason, this document makes reference to standard inside diameter ratio
(SIDR) sized pipe. To prevent the confusion, the standard dimension radio (SDR) size pipe, commonly
used for PE products, is not used in this document.
The PE-sGF system is intended to be used for general purpose liquid fluids supply (e.g. chemical plants,
industrial sewerage engineering, power plants, agricultural production plants, water treatment).
For the material subject of this document, the mechanical performances are obtained on the basis of
International Standards dedicated to thermoplastics. The geometrical characteristics are defined
exclusively for this material in line with ISO 3 and ISO 4065.

Part 1:
General
1 Scope
This document specifies the general aspects of short glass fibre reinforced polyethylene (PE-sGF)
piping systems, manufactured by the spiral cross winding method, which are used below ground for
the conveyance of liquid fluids for the following industrial and agricultural uses:
— chemical plants;
— industrial sewerage engineering;
— power engineering (cooling and general-purpose water supply);
— agricultural production plants;
— water treatment;
— small hydraulic power plants (general-purpose water supply).
In conjunction with the other parts of the ISO 22101 series, this document applies to PE-sGF pipes,
fittings and their joints with each other, with other PE-sGF components, and to components from other
materials intended for use under the following conditions:
1)
a) allowable operating pressure (PFA) up to and including 25 bar ;
b) operating temperature of 20 °C as the reference temperature.
NOTE For other operating temperatures, guidance is given in Annex A.
Other application areas differing from those listed in the scope can be permitted if the requirements
of this document and/or relevant national requirements are taken into account. Drinking water
applications are outside the scope of this document.
This document covers only PE-sGF using glass fibre with lengths comprised in the range between 3 mm
and 5 mm.
Components conforming to any of the documents listed in the Bibliography or to national standards, as
applicable, can be used with components conforming to this document, provided that they conform to
the requirements for joint dimensions and to the relevant requirements of this document.
