NACE TM0298-98

This standard test method was prepared by NACE International Task Group T-1G-24 to serve as a guide in the process of evaluating fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) pipe and tubulars for use in oilfield applications. This standard provides a means to evaluate the relative resistance of most FRP tubular products to specific oilfield environments by comparison of apparent tensile strength before and after exposure. This standard may be used by polymer manufacturers, processors, equipment manufacturers, operating companies, or others who desire to compare the resistance of various FRP tubular products to specific oilfield environments. The test methodologies for the determination of apparent tensile strength are similar to those given in ASTM D 2290. If specified test conditions and procedures are followed, data from separate laboratories that use this test method may be compared. The task group knows of no technical organization that has issued a comparable standard test method for materials in oilfield applications.
