Several tests have been conducted to characterize the strength reduction of three graphite reinforced plastic (GRP) composite materials as a function of temperature and testing environment. The GRP materials and testing environments were selected to be of maximum relevance to offshore industry. The materials were E-glass fiber reinforcement in matrices of three resins: two epoxies and phenolic. The testing environments were sea water and crude oil condensate at 150 degree C range. It is demonstrated from the results that strength reduction is exhibited predominantly in the matrix of dominated failure mode, though a small but significant strength reduction is also seen in the fiber dominated mode.
