I am interesting to know if there is any criteria to determine or select which FRP piping must be subjected to stress analysis. I mean, which critical conditions has to have the FRP pipe in order to decide that needs to have stress analysis.

I am working in an offshore platform project and we have 12” pipes with operating temperature of not more than 65 C (hot water).

What load cases have to be analyzed for FRP pipes? Where do I can find more information about FRP stress analysis?

Thank you
