Old Fiber glass casing pipe(GRP casing 4-1/2" OD)

[metboss]

Hi All,

I would like to ask you for some advice regarding inspection of old GRP pipes (4-1/2") which will be used as Casing in our new oil well service application.
Above casings (200 No's) were received two years ago and stored in our yard with tarpaulin cover. Now, end user is asking us to carry out inspection and clear these casing for well service application. I suppose, these casings were exposed to sunlight/UV and may have lost some physical properties. How can I ensure it? Are there any laboratory tests to be conducted prior to application? I need some advice with code reference.

Thank you.

Metboss, please don't double post like that again. If, as in this case, two disparate specialties comprise the correct audience, please post a single message in one forum, and a link to it in the other. Thanks.
