EN 1394 — GRP pipe apparent initial circumferential tensile strength
EN 1394 covers determining the apparent initial circumferential (hoop) tensile strength of glass-reinforced thermosetting plastic (GRP) pipes. To match a setup to this test, talk with our team.
What EN 1394 Covers
The test loads a GRP pipe ring so that the wall is stressed in the hoop direction, giving the apparent initial circumferential tensile strength. This governs the pressure capacity of GRP pipe.
How the Test Is Run
A ring cut from the pipe is loaded to strain the wall circumferentially until failure, and the strength is calculated from the load and wall geometry.
Reading the Designation
Cited as EN 1394 with its year. Confirm the edition and ring dimensions.
Preparing Specimens
Accurate ring width and clean edges keep the result valid. To set up GRP pipe ring testing, request a quote.
