1、Designation: F610/F610M 10An American National StandardStandard Test Method forEvaluating the Quality of Molded Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (PVC)Plastic Pipe Fittings by the Heat Reversion Technique1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F610/F610M; the number immediately following the designa

2、tion indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers a proced

3、ure for evaluating thequality of molded poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) plastic pipefittings after exposure to heat.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem sh

4、all be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appr

5、o-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Summary of Test Method2.1 A representative sample of the fitting being produced isplaced in a thermostatically controlled oven at 302 6 5.4F150 6 3C for 30 min. The acceptability of the fi

6、tting quality,after the required test time, is based or expressed as apercentage of the original wall thickness or surface area of thefitting.3. Significance and Use3.1 This test method is applicable to distinguish betweenproperly and improperly molded PVC plastic pipe fittings. Itcan be used to:3.1

7、.1 Determine whether cold slugs or unfused areas arepresent (Note 1),3.1.2 Determine the amount of molded-in stress producedby the molding process (Note 2),3.1.3 Reveal contamination, and3.1.4 Show the quality of the weld line.NOTE 1A cold slug is a piece of material that enters the mold at asignifi

8、cantly lower temperature than the rest of the mass.NOTE 2A stress-free part will generally have better properties andhigher strength than those with a high degree of stress. Stress-free partswill generally react better when exposed to chemicals.4. Apparatus4.1 Circulating Air Oven, thermostatically

9、controlled, ca-pable of operating at 302 6 5.4F 150 6 3C such that afterinsertion of the fittings to be tested the test temperature isregained within 15 min or less. (See Annex A1.)NOTE 3The oven should be vented to the outside of the building.5. Conditioning5.1 A specific conditioning period is not

10、 required althoughthe fitting shall be at room temperature. This test can beperformed on a particular fitting any time after it has beenproduced.6. Procedure6.1 Select the fittings to be tested and examine them for thefollowing, making proper notation for the report:6.1.1 The condition and appearanc

11、e of both inner and outersurfaces of the fitting,6.1.2 The condition and appearance of the weld lines andareas adjacent to them,6.1.3 The condition and appearance of the gate and areaadjacent to it, and6.1.4 The condition and appearance of the internal surfaceopposite the gate and gate area.6.2 Plac

12、e the fittings to be tested in the oven so that eachfitting stands on one of its socket entrances and with sufficientseparation between individual specimens so that the hot air canflow freely between them. Record the time when the air in theoven recovers to 302 6 5.4F 150 6 3C. After an additionalti

13、me as indicated in Table 1 at this temperature, remove thefittings, taking care not to distort or otherwise damage them.6.2.1 When the fitting being tested has a body and branchwall that falls within two different exposure times, two fittingsshall be tested. One will be tested using the lower exposu

14、retime, and the other will be tested using the longer exposuretime.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on PlasticPiping Systems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F17.40 on TestMethods.Current edition approved April 15, 2010.

16、e fittings to cool to room temperature naturallyin the air. When cool enough to handle, examine them for thefollowing, making proper notation for the report:6.3.1 The condition and appearance of both inner and outersurfaces of the fitting,6.3.2 The condition and appearance of the weld lines andareas

17、 adjacent to them,6.3.3 The condition and appearance of the gate and areaadjacent to it, and6.3.4 The condition and appearance of the internal surfaceopposite the gate and gate area.7. Interpretation7.1 A suggested interpretation of the results observed isgiven in Appendix X1. Refer to specific prod

18、uct standards fordeviations from this suggested interpretation of results.8. Report8.1 The report shall include the following information:8.1.1 Complete identification of the fitting, including thenominal size, material type and production codes such as partnumber, production date, shift, and machin

19、e number.8.1.2 Condition and appearance of weld line and areaadjacent to weld line before and after test.8.1.3 Condition and appearance of the gate and of the areaopposite the gate on the inner surface before and after the test.8.1.4 Condition and appearance of the outer and innersurfaces before and

20、 after the test.8.1.5 Type and extent of any delamination produced.8.1.6 Extent and location of any peeling produced.8.1.7 Maximum localized reduction of wall thickness ex-pressed as a percentage of the original wall thickness at theimmediately adjacent area.8.1.8 Any other changes attributable to t

21、he test.8.1.9 Date of test.NOTE 4Where cracks appear in the fitting, a 45 angle cut through thefitting at the crack may be made to facilitate examination of the depth ofthe crack.9. Precision and Bias9.1 No statement is made about either the precision or biasof Test Method F610/F 610M for evaluating

22、 the quality of PVCfittings, since the result merely states whether there is conform-ance to the criteria for success specified in the procedure.10.

PLACING OF FITTINGS IN OVENA2.1 When size permits, all specimens shall be placed in

25、 avertical position in the test oven standing on one of its socketentrances.A2.2 When a fitting with a tee configuration is being tested,it shall be placed in the oven on the run of the tee, not on thebranch leg.
