Plastics pipes and fittings — Preparation of test piece assemblies between a polyethylene (PE) pipe and an electrofusion fitting
塑料管件和配件 - 聚乙烯(Pe)管和电熔接头之间的试件组件的制备
This document specifies a method for the preparation of test pieces assembled from polyethylene (PE) pipes or spigot-ended fittings and electrofusion fittings (e.g. socket fittings such as couplers, or saddles).
The assembly criteria specified include parameters such as ambient temperature, fusion conditions, fitting and pipe dimensions, pipe configuration (coiled or straight pipe), taking into account the limiting service conditions specified by the relevant product standards.
This document can apply to other shapes, e.g. re-rounded pipes, dependent on the manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE For the purpose of this document, PE is understood to be PE, PE-RT or PE-X.
