This research studies the effect of the addition of graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) on the mechanical behaviour of composite pipe materials exposed to hydrothermal ageing, aiming to increase their service life. For this reason, 0.25 wt.% GnPs reinforced and unreinforced filament wound basalt fibre reinforced epoxy composite pipes (BFRPs) were produced. BFRPs were exposed to a hydrothermal ageing process in order to examine the effects of water absorption behaviour on mechanical properties. Hydrothermal ageing processes were carried out by immersing the samples in distilled water at 80°C for different periods such as 15, 30, 45 and 60 days. Following the ASTM standards, the tensile, density and hardness properties of water-exposed GnPs reinforced and unreinforced BFRPs were examined and compared with unexposed specimens. As a result, while water absorption caused a remarkable loss in the mechanical properties of BFRPs, the adverse effects of water absorption on mechanical properties were minimized by the presence of GnPs.
