What is the applicable Code related to design analysis for RTP pipe (Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipe)? Is this different from FRP pipe? Is it orthotropic or isotropic?

Thanks & Warm Regards,

I made some searches and I think ASME NM.1 is the applicable code for this type of material. Is there a future plan to include this Code in pipe stress software?

NM.1 is in the c2 backlog.
