RE: [PD] ISO 14692 Nonmetalic Pipe Material for Crude Oil Transmission Application

Really? I'm curious what competent company and their insurers would accept this. (except in error).

This kooky balloon has been floated around for many years and generally goes nowhere when properly

engineered or properly thought through.

Randomn, specialized or some short sighted cost cutting drive maybe. Think about what happens in a fire or any sort of incident.

Why have the steel fire rated (as required by codes) but this stuff around your facility.

How would you meet NFPA?. Where's the life assessment? It's a no brainer in a hydrocarbon facility or serious HC pipeline.

The adoption of GRP for transmission of hydrocarbons is gaining acceptance. Refer to ISO 14692 as a reference standard.
