THE PRODUCT
3.1 General
HOBAS® CC-GRP pipe is a flexible, structurally strong, centrifugally cast composite pipe that
is designed to be used in buried and above ground applications for the transport of drinking
water, sewage, sea water, storm water and aggressive chemicals under both pressure and
gravity flow conditions. The pipes and fittings are manufactured under strict quality standards
and are distinguished by their high strength, chemical and corrosion resistance and relatively
low weight.
The “HOBAS® Technical Product Data – Gravity Pipe Systems” provides a more complete
description of the range of pipe and fittings available (Refer to Appendix A).
3.2 Manufacture of the HOBAS® CC-GRP jacking pipes
HOBAS® can design CC-GRP Jacking pipes to meet the different needs of many nonpressure applications (pressure applications omitted from appraisal scope) by varying the
resin, sand and glass proportions, orientation and configuration.
3.2.1 Manufacturing process
HOBAS® CC-GRP is a special compound made of unsaturated polyester resins (UP),
chopped glass and mineral reinforcing agents. These raw materials are progressively fed into
a rotating mould, thus building up the wall structure from its exterior surface.
Raw materials undergo stringent quality inspection and laboratory testing before being
approved for use. They are then stored in special tanks to ensure that sufficient quantities
are available at all times.
Computer-controlled pumps and high-precision metering systems guarantee that the right
amounts of raw materials for the relevant product go to the HOBAS ® Feeder. A 100% control
of production process is assured. Fiberglass Roving stored on spools is chopped to the
required length and added. The feeder then deposits the predefined quantities of raw
materials layer by layer with each pass of the feeder arm in the six-meter-long rotating
mould.
Centrifugal casting is important for the quality of HOBAS® Pipes. The preset mould speed
with centrifugal acceleration of up to 70 g causes the layers to be bonded into a compact,
void free fibre composite. The high compression of the wall layers caused by centrifugal
forces also removes all air bubbles from the wall of the pipe which makes CC-GRP pipe more
resistant to delimitation than manufacturing by filament winding.
Spraying hot water onto the outside of the mould accelerates the polymerization process.
Resin solidification is irreversible as a result of the three-dimensional chemical bonding. GRP
is thus a thermosetting plastic which retains its dimensional stability in any environment.
Cold water is used to cool the mould and after the pipe is removed, finishing includes
trimming and bevelling the pipe ends. Finally a coupling is mounted onto one end of each
pipe.

The HOBAS® Group plants only use approved raw materials from qualified suppliers which
meet detailed specified requirements.
The product standards for pipes – ISO 10639, ISO 10467, EN 1796 and EN 14364 – state
the requirements for GRP (glass reinforced unsaturated polyester resins), irrespective of the
manufacturing process used (e.g. centrifugal casting or filament winding). However, to define
the product properties in more detail, a special quality specification for centrifugally cast GRP
pipes was subsequently introduced which is the MUC-KSP-A2000 by TUV. The requirements
in this quality specification do not contradict the minimum ones given in the latest versions of
the ISO and EN pipe system standards but define requirements over and above them for
ensuring a higher level of quality.
The specification for MUC-KSP-A2000 standard can be downloaded from the WSAA
Members only portal using link provided in Appendix A.

All pipes are subjected to a range of quality control checks including the following:
6.2.2.1 Initial specific ring stiffness - Batch release test
Ref: Clause 5.2.1 of ISO 25780: 2011
The HOBAS® pipe design program provides for an initial ring stiffness value higher than the
minimum stiffness values specified in the relevant ISO standard. Initial stiffness testing is
part of the daily quality control program. First pipe piece for every new project is checked for
stiffness before commencing production.
The initial specific ring stiffness is determined using a special test method, as it cannot be
accurately obtained by calculation using the nominal values for elastic modulus (E) and wall
thickness (e).
Please refer HOBAS® CC-GRP Pipes Features, Tests and Benefits brochure, Chapter 2.
HOBAS provided batch release test results for a typical initial ring stiffness test performed on
test specimens cut from a section DN2000, PN1, SN32000 and DN2000, PN6, SN40000
pipe. For the SN 32000 N/m2, the initial specific ring stiffness, the average of the test results
was 35706 N/m2 and for the PN6, SN40000 N/m2 it was 53787 N/m2 .The values are way
higher than the required SN values, so the results were satisfactory. The batch release test
results detailed in “Summary of qualification tests of HOBAS CC-GRP Pipe System according
to international product standards ISO 10639, ISO 10467 and ISO 25780 for GRP Pipe
Systems” confirms the testing system used and shows the pipe met the ISO standards
requirement, as specified in ISO 25780. This document has been submitted to WSAA and
can be reviewed by contacting the Product Appraisal Manager.
6.2.2.2 Long-term specific Creep Stiffness - Type test
Ref: Clause 5.2.2 of ISO 25780:2011
The long-term specific ring stiffness of HOBAS® CC-GRP pipe is checked using the long-term
creep stiffness method in accordance with ISO 10467:2004 and ISO 10639:2004 by HOBAS®
Engineering GmbH. The documentation for the ongoing long-term tests, initial type tests and
raw material assessments were checked during the audits by TUV SUD.
The long-term ring stiffness tests were performed on various CC-GRP-UP pipes DN 200 –
DN 1400 PN 1 – PN 16 SN 5000 – SN 40000 by independent certification bodies (TÜV, Det
Norske Veritas, Austrian Polymer Institute). Compliance of the long-term ring stiffness with
the requirements was assessed and confirmed according to the most relevant national and
international standards: EN 1796, EN 14364, ISO 10467, ISO 10639, DIN 19565, DIN 16869,
BS 5480, ASTM D3262, ASTM D3517, ASTM D3754, AS 3571, AS 3572.
The creep factors for HOBAS® CC-GRP Pipes resulting from the time-dependent, reversible,
visco-elastic material behaviour were determined and reported. Comparisons between
laboratory tests according to EN 1225 and ISO 10468 and pipes tested after several years in
operation indicate significantly lower creep for buried pipes. Using creep factors for static
calculations determined in the laboratory therefore ensure additional safety, as the decrease
in the specific ring stiffness of the pipe when properly buried is considerably lower than
predicted by the creep test.
Please refer HOBAS® CC-GRP Pipes Features, Tests and Benefits brochure Chapter 2, for
further details.
6.2.2.3 Initial resistance to failure in a deflected condition - Batch release test
Ref: Clause 5.2.3 of ISO 25780:2011
The test procedure used is based on ISO 10466 as nominated in ISO 10467. The QC testing
involves deflecting the samples as shown in the Table 3 below and conducting a visual
inspection for cracks, de-lamination, buckling or failure.

Testing of pipes on a regular basis has shown that pipes produced in the HOBAS factory
meet the initial resistance to failure requirements of the ISO product standards. Where a pipe
fails to comply with this requirement, it is rejected, the cause of failure is identified and
production processes reviewed to prevent recurrence.
6.2.3 Resistance of pressure pipes internal pressure - Type test
Ref: Clause 5.7 of ISO 25780:2011 - (Specifies ISO 15306 test procedure within ISO 10467 and ISO 10639)
The resistance of HOBAS pipes to cyclic internal pressure up to 1 million pressure cycles has
been verified through ongoing testing. The requirements of ISO 10639 and ISO 10467 are
fulfilled.
• Subjecting HOBAS® CC-GRP pipes to 1 million cyclic pressure variations between
(0.75 x PN) and (1.25 x PN) and even 0.75 times (1.5 x PN) and 1.25 times (1.5 x
PN) did not lead to leakage or any signs of failure.
The DN 200 and DN 400 PN 10 as well as the DN 300 PN 16 pipe types show a residual
pressure safety of more than 4 after 1 million cycles between (0.75 x PN) and (1.25 x PN). A
safety factor of 3 was even measured after 1 million cycles between 0.75 times (1.5 x PN)
and 1.25 times (1.5 x PN).
Please refer HOBAS® CC-GRP Pipes Features, Tests and Benefits brochure, Chapter 5 for
details.
6.2.4 Resistance to strain corrosion - Type test
Ref: Clause 5.3 of ISO 25780:2011 - Specifies ISO 10467 test procedure
The test procedure follows the above mentioned standard. The results are used to calculate
the ultimate ring deflection and flexural strain under combined mechanical and chemical
attack.
A series of strain corrosion tests with acidic and alkaline chemicals was conducted on pipes
of different types and manufactured at various production plants to establish the long-term
®
(50, 60, and 100 years) resistance of HOBAS CC-GRP Pipe Systems to acid strain
corrosion.
The results of the various strain corrosion test series are presented in Fig. 36 in HOBAS®
CC-GRP Features, Tests and Benefits brochure. The long-term regressions were calculated
according to method A in EN 705 and ISO 10928 including failure points of all pipes and led
to the following long-term flexural strain at break (Table 14 in HOBAS® CC-GRP Pipes
Features, Tests and Benefits brochure).
The requirements of product standards ISO 10467, EN 14364 and ASTM D3262 are fulfilled
for acidic and alkaline environments.
After more than 12 years of strain corrosion testing, HOBAS® CC-GRP Pipe Systems,
including the standard joint (see also couplings chapter) prove their superior behaviour under
combined mechanical loading and chemical attack. The highly advanced design of the
HOBAS® CC-GRP Pipe System leads to significant advantages compared to other products.
The results of the various strain corrosion test series are presented in HOBAS® CC-GRP
Pipes Features, Tests and Benefits brochure, Chapter 8.

Leak tightness and pressure type tests on HOBAS joints/couplings were carried out in the
material development department. These tests were witnessed by TUV Industrie Service
Germany. The test sequences complied with the requirements of following standards: ISO
8639, EN1119 and based on ASTM D4160.
Type tests comply with ISO, EN and ASTM D4161 requirements. The test series under draw,
hydrostatic and cyclic pressure were positive. No leakage could be observed during the test
with angular deflection and misalignment by shear load. The tests with negative pressure
were positive (0.2 bar absolute pressure), no increase in pressure was detected during the
test period.
The HOBAS® FWC joint meets the compliance requirements of EN 691-1, ISO 8639, EN
1119, and DIN 4060, which ensures that they remain sealed even when deflected and
subjected to externally applied lateral loading and/or internal and external hydrostatic
pressure, or a combination of those loads. The high contact pressure of the seal on the pipe
also may also prevent tree root penetration.

6.2.6 Longitudinal compressive strength
Ref: Clause 5.4 of ISO 25780:2011
Longitudinal compressive test was performed to determine the longitudinal compressive
stress at break for sample DN350 HOBAS CC-GRP jacking pipe. For the DN350 HOBAS CCGRP jacking pipe sample the minimum compressive stress at break is 90 N/mm2. Results
obtained were 145 N/mm2 which is much higher than the minimum, proving the sample fulfils
the requirements of ISO 25780.
6.2.7 Permissible Jacking Forces
Ref: Clause 5.5 ISO 25780:2011
6.2.7.1 General
Permissible jacking forces are calculated to determine the force that can be applied to a pipe
during the jacking operation. Therefore the declared jacking load, ultimate longitudinal load,
the theoretical jacking load (concentric) and the eccentric jacking loads are to be determined.
HOBAS used a DN2000, SN 32000, PN1 Jacking Pipe for these results.
Therefore the theoretical jacking load (Fj) for the jacking pipe sample used was 26,249kN.
Material safety factors (γ) of 1.75 and 3.5 have been used for assessment.
6.2.7.2 Ulitmate Longitudinal Load
The ultimate longitudinal load is the calculated value of the concentric longitudinal load that
the pipe withstands just before it breaks. This calculated value is used to determine the
permissible jacking forces of a jacking pipe.
HOBAS tested a DN2000, SN32000 jacking pipe and calculated its ultimate longitudinal load
to be Fult =26,249 kN.
Therefore the jacking pipe sample tested can withstand a concentric longitudinal load of
26,249kN just before the pipe breaks.
6.2.7.3 Designed Jacking Load and permissible eccentric jacking forces
HOBAS has calculated that the theoretical design jacking load as;
•
Fj,calc = 6549 kN, which gives a Safety Factor of >3.5
HOBAS have calculated the permissible eccentric jacking force on the pipe using the
estimated angular deflection to be;
HOBAS have declared that the permissible eccentric longitudinal force that the system can
withstand during a jacking operation is 6549kN, taking into account the material safety
coefficient (γ 1.75) and the estimated angular deflection.
Permissible jacking forces were calculated using the methods described in Annex C of ISO
25780 using minimum compression stress at break as 90 N/mm²
Fperm = 6549 kN and declared as 6549 kN for sample DN2000, SN32000 Jacking Pipe
6.2.8 Specific initial longitudinal compressive modulus.
Clause 5.6 ISO 25780:2011
HOBAS used a DN2000, SN32000, PN1 Jacking Pipe for these results.
The specific initial longitudinal compressive modulus expressed as Ec,m is the ratio of the
applied stress to the resulting strain below the elastic limit, both measured concurrently
during a short term compression test.
The specific initial longitudinal compressive modulus, Ec,m, is determined by selecting any
point from the performed quality control test data and using strain gauge at the tested
specimens.
COPYRIGHT
WSAA Product Appraisal 1014 Part 3
20
A test piece taken from the pipe wall is compressed, at a uniform rate of strain in the
direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pipe, until failure occurs.
The ratio of the applied stress to the resulting strain below the elastic limit was calculated to
be 113 N/mm2 and is greater than the required 100 N/mm2
6.2.9 Abrasion resistance
Ref: DIN 19565
This appraisal assesses the HOBAS CC-GRP pipe system suitability for sewerage
applications in accordance with ISO 10467. Pipe systems for sewer and pressure sewer
applications can be stressed continuously by mechanical abrasion. In order to determine the
abrasion resistance of HOBAS® CC-GRP Pipe Systems, several Darmstadt rocker tests were
performed. The Darmstadt Rocker test is based on DIN 19565.

The test results show that the abrasion resistance requirements for HOBAS CC-GRP
Systems are fulfilled. The minimum abrasion safety factor is 4.3 after 100,000 cycles, which
is considered to be equivalent to an operational lifetime of 50 years according to DIN 19565.
Even after 200,000 and 500,000 cycles, the reinforced structural layers are still entirely
covered by the liner resin.
®
Ref. HOBAS CC-GRP Pipes Features, Tests and Benefits Ch. 9
Note: The abrasion resistance of individual pipeline materials is difficult to determine because test methods do
not duplicate the varied abrasion conditions found in sewers. Comparative Darmstadt rocker test results often
show performance ratings of plastic pipe materials exceed other harder pipe materials.
6.2.10 Temperature and pressure re-rating
This appraisal assesses the temperature and pressure de-rating of HOBAS® CC-GRP pipe
systems in accordance with ISO 10467. Temperature and pressure re-rating requirements
vary according to the pipeline application and HOBAS ® can provide special resins and rerating for abnormal applications. In general, pipelines carrying liquids up to 35°C and below
require no pressure re-rating, but for temperatures above 35°C it is recommended that the
design be checked by a HOBAS® Application engineer.
6.2.11 Resistance to Ultraviolet degradation
This appraisal assesses the requirement for resistance to ultraviolet degradation of HOBAS
CC-GRP pipe systems, in accordance with ISO 10467. For further information refer to PA
Report 1014 Part 2 (currently being appraised).

Water, Water Corporation of WA, Queensland Urban Utilities etc.
Details of many international GRP Pipe projects have been supplied by Global Pipe. Details
of these projects can be provided upon request.
High-pressure water jetting of sewers and drains is being undertaken in the Australia using
equipment which, under certain circumstances, can damage the internal surface of the pipe.
It is recommended that Operators of high-pressure water jetting equipment comply with
HOBAS guidelines while undertaking water jet cleaning of HOBAS® CC-GRP jacking pipes.
HOBAS has proved its resistance during water jet studies carried out by Department of
Water, Germany. The nozzle impacts did not cause any damage to the pipes.
A report titled “Water jet cleaning” submitted to the Program Manager at WSAA is available
for WSAA members only. Refer to Appendix A for further information.

DISCUSSION
Q.1 What fittings and accessories are available to be used with Jacking pipes?
Ans. It is common to have transition fittings which are used to connect to the start and end of
the pipe to be jacked. Transition fittings may have a filament wound coupling and a stainless
steel coupling where one end joins to the jacking pipe and the other to an open trench pipe.
HOBAS Transition pipes can be supplied such that there is no step between the Jacking pipe
ID and the open trench pipe ID and there is a smooth transition.
Rocker pipes/manhole connectors have spigot/spigot connections and a puddle flange
fabricated onto the pipe. The puddle flange position can be fabricated in accordance with the
pipeline design requirements.
All fittings can be supplied with either the Stainless Steel couplings or GRP filament wound
couplings.
Q.2 What safety factors are used for calculating the allowable Jacking loads on the Superlit
CC-GRP Jacking pipes? Why are the safety factors important?
Ans from HOBAS: Safety factors are intended to account for any eccentric or point loading
that may occur during Jacking. HOBAS uses a safety factor of 1.75 for Relining/sliplining
applications due to the fact that these trenchless applications do not require the pipe to take
a major compressive load. Based on over 30 years of experience as the developer of CCGRP jacking pipe, HOBAS has determined that a safety factor of 3.5 is needed. This high
safety factor is very useful to accommodate ‘unanticipated’ deviations in the jacking
alignment which result in eccentric loads and point loads on the jacking pipe. Experience

dictates that not all bores will be perfectly straight. This may be due to changes in geology
(hard ground to softer ground), inconsistencies in ground conditions (eg boulders in soft
ground), steering or oversteering of the TBM or planned curves. HOBAS determined very
early in their development of CC-GRP jacking pipe that a safety of 1.75 was not adequate.
14
LIFE EXPECTANCY
Global Pipe had engaged GHD for a Durability assessment of HOBAS® pipe, and it infers that
a HOBAS® CC-GRP pipe will have a design life of 100+ years. Long term testing results have
also been extrapolated to 100+ years design life.
Refer to Appendix A for information on how to access a copy of the GHD Report for HOBAS
Pipe Durability Assessment.
In addition the ISO 7509 tested regression characteristics of GRP (as used by HOBAS to
manufacture CC-GRP jacking pipe) together with the long term safety factors applied to the
probability of failure at 50 years at a lower confidence level of 97.5% suggest that the pipe is
likely to perform successfully beyond a 100 year operating life.
