Itis incorporated into BS 2782 Methods of testing plastics Part 11 Thermoplasties Pipes, fittings and valves, as Method 1127A : 1995, for association with related test methods for plastics materials and plastics piping components. ‘This test method has been prepared for reference by other standards under preparation by CEN for specification of plasties piping systems and components. Ithas been implemented to enable experience of the method to be gained and for use for other fresh applications. Itis also for use for the revision or amendment of other national standards as practicable, but it should not be presumed to apply to any existing standard or specification which contains or makes references to a different test method until that standard/specification has been amended or revised to make reference to this method and adjust any requirements as appropriate. BS 4728 : 1971, which provides for alignment with ISO 1167 where applicable, will be withdrawn when no longer required to support existing national standards for thermoplastics piping systems pending replacement by CEN standards currently under preparation for such piping systems. ‘The principal differences between this method and BS 4728 : 1971 include the following. a) This method allows for the use of air or of another liquid as alternatives to ‘water for the external environment of the test piece. b) For testing without hydrostatic end thrust, this method allows for use of external tie rods as an alternative to an internal coaxial tie rod. ©) The permitted deviations for the constant pressure are reduced from 42 2% wt? % 4) For ‘evaluation’ of pipe and/or fitting materials, this method specifies use of end caps which transmit the end thrust. Such end caps are designated “type a)': those which do not are designated ‘type )'. @) For testing pipes with nominal outside diameter greater than 915 mm a minimum free length of at least 1000 mm is required, not 3d. £) This method also covers the testing of fitting material in the form of injection-moulded pipe, in which ease the minimum free length, excluding the integral closed end, if any, is 140 mim, 4) This method does not include an ‘acceptance test’ (batch test) of the type given in 6.1 of BS 4728 : 1971. 1h) This method gives conditioning times depending on groups of wall thickness, instead of 1 h after attaining the test temperature. 4) This method requires the time for pressurization to be the shortest time practicable between 30 s and 1 hy instead of ‘within 60 s', and hence the ‘imprecise upper limit of pipe sizes which It is practicable to testis considerably extended. 4) This method requires any pipe failiure to be classified as brittle or ductile.

Os227b2 B60 Ml Introduction This standard describes a method for determining the resistance of thermoplastics pipes to constant, internal pressure at constant temperature. It is a method which uses the following conditions: ~ water as the reference liquid inside the pipes, ~ water, air or a specified liquid as the environment outside the pipes. ‘The method can be used for short or long-term tests, at different temperatures. ‘Through interaction with the referring standard, it may be used to determine the time-to-failure at a specified pressure or to test for resistance to internal pressure using a specified ressure/vernperature/time combination. ‘The results obtained can differ depending on whether the environment is air, water or another liquid. For specific tests, particularly where other liquids such as corrosive liquids are used, other test methods may be used. ‘This method may be used to obtain data to establish stresv/time- to-failure graphs at different temperatures, The rules for drawing these graphs are not within the scope of this document. For such purposes attention is drawn to Plastics piping ‘and ducting systems — Thermoplastics pipes — Determination of long-term hydrostatic strength of thermoplastics pipe materials by extrapolation (under preparation at the time of publication of this standard). MM Ub24b65 0522763 277 a 1 Scope ‘This standard specifies a method for determining the resistance of thermoplastics pipes to constant internal water pressure at constant temperature, ‘This standard is applicable to thermoplastics pipes intended for the transport of fluids. 2 Normative references ‘This standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. ‘These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies. PrEN 496 Plastics piping systems — Plastics pipes and fittings — Measurements of dimensions and visual inspection of surfaces 3 Principle After conditioning, test pieces are subjected to a specified constant internal hydrostatic pressure for a specified period of time or until the test piece(s) faiks). ‘Throughout the test, the test pieces are kept in an environment at a specified constant temperature: this is water (‘water-in-water’ test), another liquid (Cwater-in-liquid” test) or air (‘water-in-air' test).

By means of an appropriate system, they shall allow sealing, venting of air and connection to the pressurizing equipment. The constituent material of the end cap shall not have any adverse effect on the pipe under test; e.g. end caps of copper-based alloys shall not be used for testing polypropylene (PP) pipes at temperatures above 100 °C. ‘The end cap shall be one of the following types: type a). Fittings rigidly connected to the test piece Dut not to each other, and hence transmitting the hydrostatic end thrust to the test piece, e.g. as shown in figure 1 or equivalent. They may comprise flanged plates on the ends of a large diameter pipe, optionally fused when flanges, caps, plugs or plates are of the same material as the test pieces; type b). Female parts, made of metal, fitted with joints ensuring sealing onto the external surface of the test piece and connected to one another and hence not transmitting the hydrostatic end thrust to the test piece. They may comprise one ‘or more metal rods, sce figure 1, allowing sufficient longitudinal movement at the ends of the test piece, to avoid buckling due to thermal expansion when the caps are mounted at a lower temperature than the test temperature. Other than toothed grips, any sharp edges which ‘would come into contact with the outside surface of the pipe shall be rounded off.
