TS EN ISO 14692-1

TS EN ISO 14692-1 is the part of the GRP piping series that establishes the vocabulary, symbols and core technical concepts used for glass-reinforced plastic piping systems in oil and natural gas service. Such piping is widely valued in offshore and process environments because composite construction can offer corrosion resistance, low weight and suitability for demanding operating conditions.

What this part standard is about

This document brings together the terms and symbols used when specifying, manufacturing, testing and installing piping installations. Its role is primarily to standardize language rather than to set a complete product design package in itself. In practice, that shared terminology helps designers, manufacturers, contractors and operators work from the same definitions in drawings, specifications and project documents.

Why GRP piping needs dedicated vocabulary

Glass-reinforced plastics are composite materials made from reinforcing glass fibres and a polymer matrix. Compared with metallic piping, they introduce different considerations in joints, load response, chemical compatibility, installation practice and service behaviour. Clear terminology therefore matters for identifying parts correctly, describing materials consistently and avoiding ambiguity across offshore fixed and floating facilities.

• Defines the terms and symbols used for GRP piping installations in oil and gas service.
• Applies to offshore applications on both fixed and floating facilities.
• Supports the shared language used in specification, manufacture, testing and installation.
• This listing is Part 1 of the EN ISO 14692 series and is vocabulary-focused.
