Plastics piping systems - Glass-reinforced plastics components - Determination of the amounts of constituents using the gravimetric method EN 637:1994

Publication date:   Oct 4, 2000

Scope

This standard specifies a method for the determination of constituent materials of a test sample cut from a glass-reinforced plastics (GRP) component intended for used in a piping system. It includes determination of resin, glass, aggregate and filler contents, and determination of the type and arrangement of the constituent glass layers. Two burning temperatures are given, related to the stability of the glass reinforcement at elevated temperatures. Application to other composite components should be considered in the referring standard.
