1. Scope
1.1 This specification provides minimum requirements for design and fabrication by hand lay-up
(contact molding) or filament winding of glass-fiber reinforced thermoset plastic (RTP) tanks and
equipment for chemical services. It is limited to the design of vessels intended for internal
pressures up to 15.0 psig, plus hydrostatic head imposed by contents, or external pressure (or
both) resultant from operation up to full vacuum or external loading common to buried or pit-
installed tankage. For services above 15 psig, the use of ASME Section X and DuPont
Specification SG102S/PIP VESFG001 is required. For services above 5 psig the use of ASME
RTP-1 and DuPont specification SG102S/PIP VESFG001 is recommended and meets DuPont
best practices. For all lethal service equipment or field fabricated or assembled equipment
the use of RTP-1 and DuPont specification SG102S/PIP VESFG001 is required. All such
equipment shall be stamped. Table 1 gives recommended Standards and Specifications for
various types and configurations of RTP equipment.

2. General
2.1 Basis for design
2.1.1 Operating conditions must reflect both normal and abnormal operations relating
to pressures, temperatures, venting, vessel overflow location, pressure relief, and process
upsets.
2.1.2 In view of the relatively low physical properties of RTP, as compared with metals,
careful consideration must be given to equipment location as related to exposure (wind,
snow, personnel loading, fire, etc), and external mechanical and piping loads.

6.1.5 Mold release agents such as Mylar® polyester film, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), waxes,
or other proprietary products must be removed prior to application of secondary bonds.
6.2 Lay-up
6.1.1 Lay-up of hand lay-up shall be in accordance with SW43S, Tables 2 and 3.
6.2.2 If interruption of laminate build-up is required for exotherm, such interruption is only
permitted between complete phases of laminate construction as in SW43S Tables 2 and 3.
6.2.3 Surfaces exposed to the process shall be resin rich, smooth, and reinforced with
10-mil minimum surfacing veil of the type specified.
6.2.4 Follow with 3 ounces or more of chopped strand mat and resin in two plies of 1-1/2
or four plies of 3/4 oz/ft2 mat. Alternately, with prior DuPont approval, a minimum of two
passes of chopped roving (minimum length 1/2 in.) and resin, may be applied by the spray-
up process. Each pass of chopped roving or ply of chopped strand mat shall be thoroughly
rolled out individually. The nominal thickness, following cure, of 6.2.3 and this section shall
be 100 mils. Glass content of this portion of the laminate shall be 25 to 30 percent
by weight.
6.2.5 For filament wound shells following cure of the liner, a bedding layer of chopped
roving shall be applied at a rate of 1.0 oz/ft2. Subsequent reinforcing shall be resin-
saturated, continuous roving, as needed to satisfy all other requirements of this
specification. Roving shall be wound in a pattern and at a helix angle comparable to that
utilized in making the proof test cylinders, per requirements of 4.1. The roving yield, winding
angle, band width and ends per inch shall be the same as used in the test cylinders. The
glass content shall be a minimum of 65 percent by weight.
6.2.6 For filament wound shells, additional chopped roving and axial reinforcement shall be
applied between winding cycles to provide longitudinal strength to meet requirements
of 4.1.5.
6.6 Manways
6.6.1 All manways and parts of manways shall be made by the fabricator. No manways or
parts of manways shall be purchased by the fabricator.
6.6.2 Manways and covers shall be in accordance with Figure 7A. Gaskets, washers, and
bolting shall be supplied by the fabricator unless otherwise specified.
6.6.3 Laminates surrounding manways which are subject to pressure shall be reinforced
with an annular overlay. The composition of the overlay shall equal the structural portion of
the cut-out laminate. See Figure 7B.
6.6.4 The same reinforcement concept shall apply to shell or head nozzles which are
subject to pressure and exceed 6-inch nominal size.
6.10 Nameplate
The fabricator shall furnish and securely attach a Type 300 series stainless steel, plastic or
laminated paper nameplate which shows the fabricator’s name, year the equipment was built,
DuPont design area (DA) or (EN) number, DuPont specification number, resin code designation,
the design pressure, design temperature, DuPont project number, Dupont order number, and
fabricator’s shop order.
7. Agitated tanks
7.1 Fluid agitation equipment may be used on reinforced plastic tanks. Tank shell stiffening may
be required. See 1.2.
7.2 Where required, baffles shall be installed in accordance with Figure 10.
7.3 Agitation equipment can be supported from a flanged nozzle in the tank head or shell on
structural RTP or in the case of flanged open-top tanks on steel framing as shown schematically
on Figure 11. Weight, horsepower, rpm, dimensions, and arrangement of agitation equipment
must be specified to permit design of all RTP elements.
7.3.1 For heavy agitation equipment, it is preferable to provide a separate steel structure to
support such equipment independent of the RTP vessel.
7.3.2 While a side-entering agitator may be supported on a RTP vessel, special
considerations must be given to attaching the nozzle and agitator support clips.
7.4 Hold-down lugs may be necessary to eliminate the possibility of tank movement.
8. Field joints
8.1 Where the field joining of RTP components is required, the fabricator shall furnish all
necessary materials. Fabrication procedures shall conform to the requirements of this
specification.
8.2 Unless field forces are known to be thoroughly competent in RTP hand lay-up procedures,
a vendor erection supervisor shall be present when field joints are made.
9. Cleaning
9.1 Prior to inspection, all dirt and extraneous materials shall be removed from the equipment
interior. The fabricator shall remove all surface markings, coatings, or contaminants prior to
inspection.
9.2 When equipment must be ready for use without further site cleaning by the purchaser,
special cleaning and sealing requirements must be detailed in the purchase order. For sealed
equipment, positive venting must be provided.
10. Inspection
10.1 DuPont inspection of all products fabricated to this specification is required prior to
shipment, unless expressly waived by DuPont in writing. This includes examination of
laminate cutouts and specimens. For detailed procedure and requirements for visual inspection,
refer to SW26S.
10.2 All field-assembled equipment shall be shop assembled to assure proper fit-up.
Subassemblies shall be numbered and mating flanges or elements shall be match marked to
assure correct alignment and proper field assembly.
10.3 Unless otherwise specified in the purchase requisition, hydrostatic testing in the vendor’s
shop is not required for equipment under 2 psig internal pressure. Hydrostatic testing shall
be carried out after the equipment is installed. Shop and field hydrostatic tests will as a minimum,
consist of filling with water containing a wetting agent and holding for 4 hours. For hydrotests for
tanks with design pressures exceeding 2 psig, the tank shall be completely filled with water and a
liquid filled standpipe applied to the top most nozzle to impose a hydrostatic test pressure equal to
1.1 times the design pressure at the top of the tank. Pneumatic tests for fiberglass equipment are
not allowed. All vessels and equipment shall be designed for liquid filled hydrotests when they
have design pressures above 2 psig. Stresses during hydrotest shall not exceed 20% of the
ultimate tensile strength of the laminate. Vertical vessels may be hydrotested in the horizontal
position as long as the hydrostatic test pressure in all parts of the vessel is at least equal to 1.1
times the design pressure of the vessel in the installed position.
10.4 For tanks designed for external pressures below 2 psig, a shop vacuum test is required at
the design vacuum level or as close as practical to it recognizing that full vacuum pressures are
impossible to achieve in shop conditions. Once the desired vacuum level is achieved, the
vacuum level shall be held for a minimum of 1 hour without more than a 5% increase in pressure.
10.5 If inspection by DuPont is specified in the order, a DuPont Quality Assurance Field
Representative (QAFR) will contact the vendor to schedule inspection visits. If not contacted, the
vendor must notify (by telephone) the inspection agency at least five days before inspection is
required. Unless otherwise indicated in the order, inspection will be by:
