Materials5.1 TubingCrosslinked polyethylene tubing, meeting therequirements of this specification, is primarily defined bymeans of three criteria, namely, (1) nominal density, (2) degreeof crosslinking, and (3) long-term strength tests. There i
42、s astrong correlation between nominal density and results ofshort-term strength tests.5.1.1 Basic MaterialsPEX tubing, exclusive of optionalbarrier layer, shall be made from polyethylene compounds,which have been crosslinked by peroxides,Azo compounds, orsilane compounds in extrusion, or by electron
43、 beam afterextrusion, or by other means such that the tubing meets theperformance requirements of Section 6. For the use tempera-tures that the tubing will be marked for, the materials,procedure for mixing, and the process for crosslinking shallresult in a product with long-term hydrostatic design b

See Appendix X1 for additionalinformation on PPI hydrostatic stress ratings.NOTE 1HDB value
45、s at 73 F (23 C) and 180 F (82 C) may bepublished in PPI TR-4. The HDB at an intermediate temperature, such as120 F (49 C), is determined by arithmetic interpolation.NOTE 2Tubing produced by crosslinking by peroxides, Azocompounds, or silane compounds in extrusion, or by electron beam afterextrusion
46、 have met the requirements of Section 6. There are several otherprocesses for producing crosslinked polyethylene tubing. However, eachprocess must be established as meeting the requirements of this specifi-cation.5.1.2 Barrier LayerA barrier layer to reduce oxygendiffusion is optional for this tubin
47、g. Tubing incorporating anoptional layer shall meet the requirements of 6.14 and 6.15 andall other requirements of this specification.5.1.2.1 Polymeric oxygen barrier layer materials shall becompatible with PEX and meet the requirements of thisspecification.NOTE 3EVOH (Ethylene vinyl alcohol), which
48、 is the typical materialused for the barrier layer, is defined by the mole % ethylene content: lowerethylene content grades have higher oxygen barrier properties.5.1.2.2 Bonding or tie layer(s) material (if present) shall becompatible with both PEX and barrier layer providing forpermanent bonding be
49、tween layers to meet layer adhesionrequirements of 6.14.Abonding/tie layer containing a colorantshall be acceptable.5.1.2.3 All barrier tubing sizes in this specification arepressure rated equivalent to DR of the PEX tubing. Tubing thathas PEX material minimum wall thickness equal to or greaterthan 0.070 in. (1.78 mm) is pressure rated as that DR using thedesign equation (3.2.8), and is marked with that DR. Tubinghaving a barrier layer that has PEX material minimum wallthickness that is less than 0.070 in. (1.78 mm) is pressure
