Summary of Practice4.1 This practice specifies procedures for preparing samplebutt fusions, preparing test specimens from sample buttfusions, sample and specimen conditioning, and requirementsfor testing sample butt fusions or specimens from sample buttfusi

19、ons in accordance with Test Method D638, Test MethodD1598, and Test Method D1599.4.2 Alternate testing conditions for research, developmentor other purposes are allowed.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice provides requirements for standardizedpreparation of sample butt fusions, preparation of s

20、pecimensfrom sample butt fusions, and conditioning for testing inaccordance with Test Method D638, Test Method D1598,orTest Method D1599. This practice is intended to improve theability to reliably compare test results from multiple parties.6. Sample Butt Fusions6.1 Sample PreparationEach sample but

21、t fusion shall beat least two lengths of PE pipe that are joined together inaccordance with a butt fusion joining procedure that has beenselected by the parties involved. All pipe lengths in the samplebutt fusion shall be the same length plus or minus five percent.The minimum pipe length shall be as

22、 specified in 7.1 or 8.1.2or 9.1.2.6.1.1 Multiple Joint Sample Butt FusionsFor Test MethodD1598 or D1599, sample butt fusions containing multiple buttfusion joints shall be acceptable. The pipe length between buttfusion joints shall be the same length plus or minus five percentand shall not be less

23、than the minimum pipe length specified in8.1.2 or 9.1.2. The overall length of multiple joint sample buttfusions shall not exceed testing equipment capabilities.6.2 Sample butt fusions shall be conditioned to the testtemperature in accordance with Table 1.NOTE 1Butt fusion procedures such as Practic

24、e F2620 require coolingthe fusion joint to ambient temperature before pulling, installation orrough handling. Conditioning in this practice is intended to stabilize testsamples to test temperature. Additional conditioning time may be neces-sary when testing at temperatures significantly above or bel

25、ow 73F(23C), or when samples have been temporarily stored at temperaturessignificantly above or below test temperature.6.3 Each sample butt fusion shall be marked, labeled,tagged or otherwise identified so that information relating tothe sample butt fusion joint such as date, time, operator,location

26、, joining procedure, pipe material, etc., and testingresults will be cross-referenced and documented.6.3.1 Each Test Method D638 tension test specimen shall bemarked, labeled, tagged or otherwise identified so that infor-mation relating to the tension test specimen such as date, time,operator, locat

27、ion, joining procedure, pipe material, etc., andtesting results will be crossreferenced and documented.7. Tension Testing7.1 Tension Test Specimen PreparationPrepare samplebutt fusions in accordance with Section 6 and 7.1.1. Preparetension test specimens from the sample butt fusions in accor-dance w

28、ith 7.1.3-7.1.5 .7.1.1 The minimum pipe length on each side of the buttfusion shall be at least 6-in (152 mm) so that the sample buttfusion is at least 12-in (305 mm) in overall length.7.1.2 For pipe smaller than 1-in (25 mm) outside diameter,each sample butt fusion shall be cut longitudinally in ha

29、lf. Forpipe 1-in (25 mm) outside diameter and larger, each samplebutt fusion shall be cut longitudinally into quadrants.7.1.3 Depending on pipe wall thickness and the Test MethodD638 specimen type, tension test specimens are prepared fromall or parts of the pipe wall. Where wall thickness exceeds th

30、ethickness of the chosen Test Method D638 specimen type, pipewall is machined away to achieve the thickness specified forthe Test Method D638 specimen type.NOTE 2Where the thickness of the Test Method D638 specimen typespans all or most of the pipe wall thickness, equal amounts of inside wallTABLE 1

33、 Type I, II, III, IV or V test specimens in accordancewith Test Method D638.(Note 3) The butt fusion shall be in thecenter of the test specimen gauge length. The center shall behalf the gauge length plus or minus five percent of the gaugelength. Pipe wall curvature shall be ignored.NOTE 3Tension tes

34、t specimens should be the same type. Tensiontesting results from different tension specimen types may not be compa-rable. The specimen type should be determined by agreement among theinvolved parties.7.1.3.2 For pipe wall thickness less than or equal to TestMethod D638 tension specimen thickness, ma

35、chine tension testspecimens using the full wall thickness. Pipe wall curvature inthe gauge area shall be ignored. Machining to remove pipe wallcurvature in the grip area is permissible.7.1.3.3 For pipe wall thickness greater than Test methodD638 tension specimen thickness but less than three timeste

36、nsion specimen thickness, and where the parties have notdetermined a specific wall area such as outside, middle orinside wall for testing, specimens shall be prepared from thecenter of the pipe wall. Machine Type I, II, III, IV or V tensiontest specimens, and for the length of the tension test speci

37、men,remove equal amounts of material from the pipe outsidesurface and the pipe inside surface so that the tension testspecimen gauge area thickness is from the center of the pipewall.7.1.3.4 For pipe wall thickness greater than three timesspecimen thickness, section the pipe wall into one-thirdsecti

38、ons, for example, outer one-third, middle one-third, andinner one-third, and prepare tension test specimens from theouter, middle, and inner pipe wall.NOTE 4Where greater wall thickness and specimen type permit,additional specimens from between the inner and middle wall and frombetween the middle an

39、d outer wall (for example, one-fifth thicknesssections) may be prepared to provide additional data.7.1.4 Tension test specimen machining shall producesmooth surfaces in the gauge length area. Machining toolmarks in the distance between the grips (see Test MethodD638, Fig. 1) shall be parallel to the

40、 long axis of the tensilespecimen. Machining tool marks in the distance between thegrips that are not parallel to the long axis of the tensilespecimen shall be smoothed with abrasive paper (No. 00 orfiner). Finish sanding strokes shall be made in a direction thatis parallel to the long axis of the t

Fusionbead removal during specimen machining shall be acceptable.There shall be no indented printline pipe markings in thetension test specimen gauge area.7.1.5 Fusion beadsThe presence or absence of fusionbeads on tensile specimens shall be by agreement among theparties making

42、 and testing the joints. All tensile specimens fora test set shall be consistent with both, one outside or oneinside, or no fusion beads.7.2 Tension Test Specimen ConditioningTension testspecimens shall be conditioned in air in accordance withPractice D618, Procedure A for not less than 4 hours at t

43、hetesting temperature without regard to humidity, or in water inaccordance with Practice D618, Procedure D for not less thanone hour at the testing temperature.7.3 TestingTension test specimens shall be tested in ac-cordance with Test Method D638. Unless otherwise specified,the test shall be conduct

44、ed at 73F (23C), and the gripseparation rate shall be 2 in/min (50 mm/min). Testing at analternate temperature or grip separation rate shall be byagreement among the parties making and testing the joints.7.3.1 Gauge area measurementMeasure the width andthickness of the tension test specimen in the g

Measurements shall be taken at bothsides of the fusion, excluding fusion beads if present, and thesmaller measurement shall be used to calculate the crosssection of the gauge area. Calculate and record

46、the gauge areacross section by multiplying the minimum width and thicknessmeasurements.7.3.2 Record the load and extension curve of the specimen7.3.3 Record the load and extension at the yield point andthe load and extension at the moment of specimen separation.7.3.3.1 If testing is discontinued bef
