3.3.3 Reversion test

When determined in accordance with AS/NZS 1462.4, the reversion of the pipe shall not
exceed 5.0%, nor shall the pipe show any signs of cracks, cavities or blisters resulting from
the immersion.
3.3.4 High temperature test
When tested at 180°C in accordance with AS/NZS 1462.16, pipes shall not show any splits,
delamination, porosity or inclusions.
NOTE: Absorbed water can affect results and, hence, caution is to be used when applying this test
to pipes that have been stored or used in service.
3.3.5 Fracture toughness test (only applicable to pipes DN 80 and Tmin 4.0 mm)
When tested in accordance with AS/NZS 1462.19, pipes shall exhibit a fracture toughness
(KIc) value of not less than that determined by the following equation:
KIc = 0.09σy . . . 3.3
Where σy is the 15 min yield strength obtained from the testing of pipes in accordance with
AS/NZS 1462.6 or in accordance with AS/NZS 1462.19.
