BS ISO 15840:2004

This standard BS ISO 15840:2004 Ships and marine technology. Standard specification for thermosetting resin fibreglass pipe and fittings to be used for marine applications is classified in these ICS categories:

• 47.020.30 Piping systems
• 83.140.30 Plastics pipes and fittings for non fluid use

This International Standard applies to reinforced thermosetting resin pipe systems with nominal diameter (DN) 0 through 1 200 mm and nominal pipe sizes (NPS) 0 through 48, which are to be used in marine piping systems.

Values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. Values given in English units are for information only.

The dimensionless designators DN and NPS have been substituted for traditional terms such as “nominal diameter”, “size”, and “nominal size”.

The following safety hazard caveat pertains to the test methods that are included in this International Standard. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns associated with its use.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS — It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
