3. BENEFITS

APS manufactures Glass-Reinforced Polyester (GRP) Pipes and fittings using the Continuous Filament
Winding (CFW) process. GRP products are superior to conventional piping materials due to the following
basic features and benefit:

 5. PRODUCTION PROCESS

APS, produces pipe and fittings using the continuous advancing mandrel method where glass filament
reinforcements are wound continuously around a spiral steel band and aluminum beams called a
mandrel. As the cylindrical mandrel rotates at designed speed, raw materials (resin, glass, silica sand) are
machine-fed on it to form the structural wall of the product. The pipe then proceeds into the oven zone for
curing and is cut to proper size by automatic saw units. All settings and feeds are automatically executed
and monitored by an advanced PLC program.

6. QUALITY ASSURANCE

Each individual pipe and sleeve undergo rigorous

series of tests which include visual, hydraulic,
stiffness, hoop tensile, axial tensile and other tests
in accordance with ASTM, AWWA, ISO and
other international material testing standards. The
APS quality control department implements a strict
screening process to ensure that only products
passing the highest quality standards reach our
clients.

To match the pipe specifications shown above, GRP fittings are also available in numerous types, and
deflection angles and combinations to suit different field requirements. For detail dimension of standard
fitting please refer to Appendix B.

Advanced Piping Solutions can produce fittings in all the sizes and different combinations based on the
customer requirements. Some of the standard fittings are:

• Elbows- Different diameters and angles

• Tees- Equal or Unequal Tees of different diameters
• Reducers- Eccentric or Concentric of various diameters
• Flanges- Flanges of various diameters drilled t o International Standard as
per requirements
• Other Fittings- End Caps, Puddle Flanges, Dummy Supports or combination of any
of the above.

10. APPLICABLE STANDARDS

To ensure that GRP pipes and fittings conform to universal specifications, exhibit the highest quality,
performance, they are manufactured in accordance with the following international Standards and others:

• AWWA C950- AWWA Standard for Fiberglass Pressure Pipe

• AWWAM45- Fiberglass Pipe Design

12.2 Stiffness Test

In this test following BS 5480 and ASTM D 2412, a pipe sample from each production batch is tested for
stiffness. The specimen is deflected to a strain level and the crushing force is noted. The results
determine the representative stiffness class of the specimen. Below is a table for minimum required pipe
stiffness as prescribed by ASTM and AWWA Standards:

12.3 Tensile Tests

Samples from each batch is taken to be tested for both axial and circumferential (hoop) tensile strengths.
The specimens are loaded-to-break point using UTM and split disk respectively for axial and hoop tensile
strength. These data are used to determine that axial and hoop tensile strengths of the batch have passed
and exceeded the mandatory international standards requirements. The tables below show the minimum
required values for each indicated pipe nominal sizes:
