BS EN 1447:2009 Plastics piping systems. Glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics (GRP) pipes. Determination of long-term resistance to internal pressure
BS EN 1447 specifies a method for determining the time to failure of glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics (GRP) pipes under internal hydrostatic pressure at a specified temperature. The external environment can be air or water.
For other internal or external environments the referring standard should specify any additional requirement.
