Hi all,
Can any one explain me what is the meaning of "2:1 pressure condition or loading condition"? (this term is related to FRP/GRE piping)

If you don't know this stuff, are you sure it's wise to do FRP pipe stress analysis?
FRP is a completely different material in comparison with steel. Also it's much more difficult to get the correct material properties from the supplier.

0:1 condition btw is no hoop stress and full axial stress.

As this forum is (mainly) intended to help people out with the use of CII I guessed you were doing a FRP analysis.
Glad I could help though. :-)
