Series of tests were conducted to study the strength reduction of two glass fiber-reinforced plastic (GRP) pipes as a function of temperature and testing environment. The GRP materials and testing environments were selected to be of maximum relevance to the offshore industry. The axial tensile strength of the GRP pipes was significantly reduced at elevated temperatures. The degree of this reduction was dependent on the matrix material and was magnified by sea water absorption. Dissolved CO2 and H2S in the sea water had very little effect on the strength of the pipes.
