EN 1393 – Initial longitudinal tensile properties of GRP pipes

← Back to all standards

EN 1393 is the test method for the initial longitudinal tensile behaviour of glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics (GRP) pipes. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What EN 1393 Covers

It measures baseline axial mechanical performance of GRP pipe so manufacturers, utilities, and project teams can verify longitudinal tensile properties.

How the Test Is Run

A GRP pipe specimen is gripped and pulled in the axial direction at a controlled rate, and the initial longitudinal tensile properties are recorded.

Why It Matters

Axial tensile verification supports GRP pipe design and acceptance; grips and fixturing that hold pipe without crushing are essential.
