15、 for polythene sheet for use in welded fabrications incorporating low density polythene pipe (BS 1972* and 1973Jy), and low and intermediafe density polythene rod (BS 2919%) and for other purposes. It is based on a draft prepared by the British Plastics Federation. This British Standard was frst pub

16、lished in 1958. In the present revision the requirements in respect of composition have been changed to bring them into line as far as possible with those in BS 1972* and 1973Jy. The opportunity has been taken to express dimensions in metric unh. However, to avoid possilble confusion during the peri

17、od of transition to fuil metric thinking it has been decided that the nominal thickness should be designated using the nominal thickness correspondhg to the old values in inches. A specification for high density polythene sheet is provided in BS 46460. Throughout this standard the name pulythene is

18、used. It should be noted that this name is equivalent to the name polyethylene . * BS 1W2, Polythene pipe (Type 32) for cold water services. t BS 1W3, Polythene pipe (Type 425) for general purposes including chemical and food industry uses, 8 BS 4646, High density polythene sheet for general purpose

21、density not greater than 0.93 g/mi at 20 “C. 2.1.2 For general purpose applications the polythene shall have a melt flow index between 0.1 and 8.0 when tested by Method 10% of BS 2782*. For use in conjunction with polythene pipe complying with BS 19721. or 1973F, or with polythehe rod complying with

22、 BS 29198, the polythene shail be within one of the three following grades, the melt flow index being determined by Method 105C of BS 2782*. (1) Grade X having a melt flow index of 0-21 to 0.49, and a density not (2) Grade Y having a melt flow index of 0.50 to 1.19, and a density not (3) Grade Z hav

23、ing a melt flow index of 1.20 to 25, and a density not NOTE. When used in conjunction with pipe and rod it is essential that the giade of material for the sheet matches in all respects that for the pipe or rod with which it is being used. 2.13 Black compound shall consist of polythene in any one of

24、the grades defined in 2.1.2, in which the foliowing Ingredients shall be uniformly dispersed : (i) Carbon black in such amount that when the compound is tested by Method 405A of BS 2782*, the carbon black content shall be The carbon black shall comply with the following requirements : a.
