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 described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Introduction
Polyethylene reinforced with short glass fibres (PE-sGF) piping systems are pipe systems which consist
of fittings 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 the traditional technology used
during PE pipes extrusion. For this reason, this document makes reference to standard inside dimension
ratio (SIDR). To prevent confusion, the parameter "standard dimension ratio" (SDR), commonly used for PE
products, is not used in this document.
For the material subject of this document, the mechanical performances are obtained on the basis of
standards dedicated to thermoplastics. The geometrical characteristics are defined for this material in line
with ISO 4065.

Polyethylene reinforced with short glass fibres (PE-sGF)
piping systems for industrial applications —
Part 5:
Fitness for purpose of the system
1 Scope
This document specifies the requirements of the fitness for purpose of pipes or fittings assemblies or both
made from short glass fibre reinforced polyethylene (PE-sGF) piping systems manufactured by the spiral
cross winding method used below ground for the conveyance of fluids in the following industrial and
agricultural contexts:
— 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).
This document also specifies the test parameters for the test methods it references.
In conjunction with other parts of the ISO 22101 series, this document is applicable to PE-sGF pipes, fittings,
their joints and joints with components of PE-sGF or other materials, intended to be used under the following
conditions:
1)
a) a maximum 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 ISO/PAS 22101-1:2022, Annex A.
This document is applicable to pipes with an inside diameter of 200 mm to 1 000 mm with integrated socket
and spigot fusion joint.
