Abstract

Burst tests have been performed on the glass fiber-reinforced (GFR) thermoset pipes before and after exposure to natural and accelerated environmental conditions. The main objective of this study was to explore the effects of long-term natural outdoor and artificial accelerated environmental conditions on the burst resistance of the vinyl-based and epoxy-based GFR filament wound thermoset pipes which are targeted for use in crude oil transportation. The pipes were exposed to natural outdoor and accelerated dry heat conditions. The results show that these environments did not produce any noticeable degradation in the hydrostatic burst resistance of the pipes up to 24 months of natural exposure and up to 10,000 h of dry heat exposure.
