28、ordance with TestMethod D2837, excepting that failure data can be obtained from specimens such as the following: tensile bars, plane strain, oractual fitting samples. A material listing in PPI TR-4 document is evidence of compliance with this paragraph for third partycertifying and listing agencies.

30、acturer upon request.NOTE 1Materials in long-term contact with natural gas of line quality and LP gas vapor should be demonstrated not to adversely affect theperformance of the fitting.NOTE 2Materials should have a demonstrated resistance to environmental stress cracking when exposed, under stress,
31、to chemical compoundsencountered in, or external to gas piping systems, and a demonstrated resistance to bacteriological decomposition. Such compounds include, but are notlimited to, ice thawing chemicals, fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides, leak detection fluids, acids, bases and antifreeze solu
32、tions used to thaw frozen lines.The effects of liquid environments, such as antifreeze agents, odorants, and hydrocarbons are known to be deleterious to some plastics, particularly whenunder service conditions.5. Dimensions5.1 The dimensions and tolerances shall be determined by the manufacturer.6.
33、Qualification Requirements6.1 GeneralUnless otherwise specified, each nominal size of fitting shall be tested. Testing of the thickest wall pipe that thefitting is designed to be used with qualifies the use of that fitting with pipe of lesser wall thickness.F1924 1226.1.1 Mechanical joint qualificat
34、ions shall be performed on assembled joints using the fitting manufacturers joining procedure.All mechanical fittings offered by the manufacturer shall be capable of meeting the requirements of this standard when connectingpolyethylene gas piping complying with Specification D2513. To verify the str
35、uctural integrity of the fitting body, representativesamples shall be subjected to the requirements of 6.2.1. It is not the intent of this specification to require testing of all fittingconfigurations, that is, tees, ells, etc., but each mechanical joint design in each size.6.1.2 All mechanical fitt
36、ings described in 3.2 shall have an internal pipe reinforcing tubular insert stiffener that extends at leastunder the seal and gripping device, where used.The saddle portion of saddle-type fittings do not require an internal tubular stiffenerdue to the nature of the connection.6.2 Performance Requir
37、ements:6.2.1 Elevated Temperature Sustained PressureThe fitting, joint or pipe in the area affected by the fitting shall not fail asdefined in Test Method D1598, when tested in accordance with 7.2. The fitting or joint meets this requirement when tested inaccordance with any one of the three conditi

A mechanical joint designed for this categoryexcludes any provisions in the design of the joint to resist any axial pull
