48、tubing over a critical temperature range for a selected number of cycles while subjected to aninternal pressure. The test provides a measure of resistance to failure due to the combined effects of differential thermal expansionand creep of connections intended for use up to and including 180F (82C).

An immersion system shall consist of two water reservoirs controlled at 60 6 4F (16 6 2C) and 180 64F (82 6 2C) into which the pressurized specimens will be immersed. Either samples are cycled manually using flexibleconnectors or alternately the hot and cold water is cycled over the test specimens automatically and returned to the proper reservoir(Note 2).NOTE 2Au
