Dimensions, materials and classification 1. Scope This Part of this British Standard specities requirements for materials, dimensions, fittings, joints, classification and marking only. tis for pressure and non-pressure pipe, joints and fittings, made from glass fibre reinforced thermo: setting resin, either with or without a thermoplastics liner, intended for conveying, above or below ground, liquids including potable and non-potable water, foul sewage and storm water. The pipe may also be used for those industrial wastes for which its suitability has been established. In the cate of fittings, materials other than GRP (alass fibre reinforced plastics) are permitted (see 6.2). This Part does not specify quality assurance and type tests, sampling, workmanship, certification, inspection and installation. These matters will be covered by Part 2" of this British Standard 2. References ‘The titles of the standards publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 3. Materials of construction 3.1. Resins.

Other resin systems (e.g. vinylester resins) may also also be suitable, provided that the finished pipe complies with all the requirements of this British Standard, 3.2 Reinforcement ‘3.2.1 Fibrous reinforcement. All the glass fibre reinforce- ‘ment used shall be of type ‘E’ glass as follows: Glass fibre rovings as specified in BS 3691; Glass fibre chopped strand mat as specified in BS 3496; lass fibre woven fabrics as specified in BS 3396; Glass fibre woven roving fabrics as specified in BS 3749; and shall have a surface treatment compatible with the rosin. Any construction of the reinforcement is acceptable, provided that the finished pipe complies with all the require- ‘ments of this British Standard. 3.2.2 Surfaco tissues. Tissues incorporating ‘C’ glass, synthetic organic fibres such as polyester or acrylic fibres, (or ‘E’ glass, may be used to produce resin-rich inner and outer layers. : “In course of preparation 3.3 Other materials 3.3.1 Aggregates. An aggregate is defined as an inert granular material of a size range between § mm and 0.05 mm used as # design part of the structure, Aggregates, such as graded silica sands, may be incorporated where they are a design part of the composite structure. 3.3.2 Inert fillers. An inert fille is defined as.a fine material with a particle size below 0.05 mm used as a resin extender. Inert fillers may be incorporated on their own or together with the aggregate 38.3.3 Additives. An additive is defined as a material for ‘modifying the properties of a resin, The resin may contain active additives for viscosity control or fire retardance. 3.3.4 Colorants. The resin may incorporate pigments or dyes. 3.4 Preformed liners. Where preformed thermoplastics liners are used, the material used shall be unplasticized PVC complying with the requirements of 8S 3505 or BS 3506 oF polypropylene as specified in BS 4991, selected on the basis of freedom from interaction between the liquid conveyed and the liner. The minimum liner wall thickness shall be 1.5 mm, Other liner materials may be used by agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser. 3.8 General. The resins, reinforcements, colorants, fillers, and other materials when combined as a composite structure, together with the liner where used, shall produce pipes or fittings that satisfy the performance requirements in Part 2” of this British Standard. The internal surface of the pipe and fitting shall be smooth and both the internal and external surfaces shall be clean {and free from defects such as protruding fibre, voids, pits, bubbles, cracks, blisters or foreign matter that would impair their performance in service, 4. Dimensions All dimensions specified shall relate to a temperature of 23°C. Methods of measurement of these dimensions and their tolerances shall be as described in the rolevant section in Part 2* of this British Standard. 4.1 Diameter of pipe. Pipes shall be designated by the nominal internal diameter. Preferred diameters are shown, in table 1. Other diameters may be supplied by agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer, provided that they comply with the other requirements of this standard,BS 5480 : Part 1 : 1977 Table 1.

Effective length is defined as the distance between two planes normal to the pipe axis and passing through the extreme end points of the pipe, excluding the maximum design depth of insertion of the spigot in the socket where applicable, (See figure 12, 1b and 1c.) 4.22 Lengths to be supplied. Pipes shall be supplied in straight lengths, normally 3m, 5m, 6 m, 10 mand 12m effective length or such other lengths as may be agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser. Not more than 5 % of the total length supplied in any one nominal diameter and classification may be supplied in random lengths, which should be not less than 1.5 m, but the total length supplied shall be not less than that stated in the order or contract. 4.2.3 Tolerance on effective length. The tolerance on the effective lenath shall be + 25 mm. Where closer tolerances are required these shall be agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser. 4.3 Outof-squareness of pipe 4.3.1 Outofsquareness. The out-of-squareness at one end of a pipe is defined as the maximum distance between the real end surface of the pipe and the end plane normal to ‘the pipe axis and passing through the extreme end point of the pipe, excluding the design depth of the socket, where applicable, (See figure 1a, 1b and te.) 4.3.2 Tolerances on unflanged pipes. The tolerances on ‘out-of squareness on unflanged pipes shall be 2mm + 0.005 D, with a maximum of 10 mm, where D is the nominal internal diameter of pipe in millimetres. 4.3.3 Tolerances on flanged pipes. The flange face shall be perpendicular to the axis of the pipe within 0.5° and shall be flat to # 0.5 mm for pipes up to and including 400 mm nominal diameter, and shall be within 0.25° and + 0.5 mm for pipes of larger diameter. +1 ber= 108 N/m? = 100 kPa 4.4 Straightness, For pipe of nominal internal diameter ‘greater than 150 mm the deviation from straightness of the bore of the pipe shall not exceod 0.3 % of the effective length of the pipe or 15 mm, whichever is the smaller. 4.5 Wall thickness of pipe. The wall thickness throughout the pipe shall attain at least the minimum value declared by the manufacturer. For pipe with a thermoplastics liner the minimum thickness of liner and the minimum thickness of reinforced plastics shall each be declared. 5. Fittings 5.1. Fittings made from GRP. All fittings made from GRP, such as bends, tees, junetions and reducers, shall be equal or superior in performance to pipe of the same classtica- tion. All fittings shall be smoothly finished internally. For GRP fittings the deviation from the stated value of the angle of change of direction of s bend, tee, junction, etc, shall not exceed + 1° for pipes up to and including 600 mm internal diameter and + 0.5” for pipes of larger diameter. ‘The tolerance on the manufacturer's declared length of fitting, exclusive of the socket where applicable, shall be £5 mm taken from the point of intersection to the end of the fitting or * 10 mm on a straight fitting. 5.2 Fittings made from materials other than GRP. Fittings made from materials other than GRP may be supplied and shall have compatible jointing systems and bbe equal or superior in performance to GRP pipe of the same classification. Where applicable, fittings made from materials other than GRP shall comply with the require iments of the relevant British Standards. For fittings not covered by other British Standards the tolerances stated in 5.1 shall apply. 6. Joints Joints may be rigid or flexible (mechanical) 6:1. Rigid joints. Rigid joints such as flanged joints, ‘butt and overwrap, socket and spigot with bonding compound, screwed joints, etc, shall be equal or superior in performance to pipe of the same classification in both the circumferential and the longitudinal directions. 6.2 Flexible (mechanical) joints. Flexible joints such as rolling or restrained ‘0 ring or clamped joints shall be equal or superior in performance to pipe of the classification of the main pipe barrel in the circumferential direction only, up to the limits of angular deviation or straight draw indicated by the manufacturer of the joint. 7. Classification 7.1 General. The following classifications relate to nominal service temperatures up to 30°C. NOTE. 11 ts intanded to use the pipe at higher service temperatures the manufacturer should be consulted. 7.2 Pressure. Pipes shall be classified by the maximum sustained working gauge pressure at which they are suitable for use as follows: 0, 1,2.8,4,6, 10, 12.5, 16, 25, 40 and 64 bar’ Pipes suitable for other pressure ratings may be supplied subject to agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser.Unless specifically designed, GRP pipes are not normally suitable to withstand end loads developed by internal pressure. External anchorages are, therefore, necessary at ‘changes of direction. Where pipes are designed to have longitudinal strength to withstand end loads they should bbe marked with the letters ‘LS’ in @ box. (See 9.1(g),) 7.3 Resistance to external load (stiffness). Pipes shall be classified according to their minimum initial specific stiffness as follows: mark 250 £4 = 2501? rnc 400 Eh = 400 Nin? mak 525 Eh = 526 Nin wn 680 Eh = 650i? mark 900 £4 = 900 N/m? mark 1100 —= 1100 N/m? mark 4000 4000 N/m? mark 8000 ~£5- = 8000 N/m? where 1 is the moment of inertia of the pipe wall per unit length (in m*/m); E is the bending modulus (in N/m?) in the circum- ferential direction; and Dis the nominal diameter (in Pipes having other stif nesses may be supplied by agree- ment between the manufacturer and the purchaser. NOTE. Attention is drawn to the fact that unacceptable strain may bbe induced in ‘thick walled pipes at comparatively small deflections, eg 5% 7.4 Compatibility with liquids. Pipes and fittings for use with liquids shall be classified as in 7.4.1 or 7.4.2. 7.4.1 Compatible with potable water. Pipes and fittings which are suitable for use with potable water shall be marked 'P” in a box. Such pipes and fittings shall be tested to confirm that they ‘will not impair the wholesome nature of the water. Tests shall be included to determine the degree of effect on taste and odour, colour and turbidity, the change in levels of toxic metals and other toxic substances and whether or ‘not the pipes and fittings support the growth of bacteria and fungi. These effects shall be within the limits required by the user. 7.4.2 Not compatible with potable water. Pipes and fittings Which are not suitable for use with potable water shall be ‘marked with a box which shall be left empty. Where aggressive fluids, such as some industrial wastes, are to be conveyed, or where the pipe is to be used in an unusual external environment, the recommendations of the manufacturer should be sought. BS 5480 : Part 1: 1977 8, Beam strength ‘The ability of pipes to support beam loads may be ‘measured by their longitudinal strenath. Pipes of all classifications shall have an initial ultimate resistance 10 longitudinal tensile force per unit of circumference of not less than the following: Lup to and including 600 mm nominal diameter: 150 N/mm above 600 rm up to and including 1200 mm nominal diameter: 200 N/mm above 1200 mm up to and including 2400 mm nominal diameter: 250 N/mm above 2400 mm up to and including 4000 mm nominal diameter: 300 N/mm ‘The above requirements are intended to provide adequate strength for normal handling and laying conditions. They are not to be used for design purposes. Pipos intended to withstand the end load resulting from internal pressure or the beam load resulting from support on piers will normally require higher longitudinal strengths. 9. Marking 9.1. Al pipes (including cut lengths) and fittings supplied shall be indelibly marked with (a) the number of this British Standard, i.e. BS 5480 Part 1; (b) the manufacturer’s name, initials or identification mark; (c} the nominal diameter in millimetres; (a) the classification : pressure rating, stiffness. To avoid possible confusion, pipes rated at 2.5 bar or 12.6 bar shall be marked 2% or 12% and not 2.5 or 12.8; {e} the date of manufacture; (8) the letter ‘P’ set in a box, where pipes and fittings are suitable for use with potable water. Where pipes and fittings are not suitable for potable water a box ‘marking shall be shown but left empty; (g) the letters ‘LS’ set in a box, where pipes and fittings are designed to withstand longitudinal end loads, developed by internal pressure. Where pipes and fittings are not suitable for end loads a box marking shall be shown but left empty; (h) the angle of bend (in degrees) in the case of fittings. This information shall be stated in the following form: BS 5480 : Part 1 - ABC - 300 - 16 - 650 -Jan‘77- [P}- [S]-90°. 92 The information given in the example in 9.1 may be ‘arranged in several lines provided that the order is preserved. Any additional marks required by the purchaser shall be the subject of a special agreement between the manufacturer ‘and the purchaser. The manufacturer may add other marks provided that they do not conflict with those stated above.BS 5480 : Part 1: 1977 ____Etiective tength ja Out outst Sic Sowa | ee nie NL rine a __etectve tena 1 Outer ono Poise ee Figue ettecive tense Desig enh psrasste | ower. ower.
