DIN EN 16296:2013-01 EN 16296:2012 (E) 4 Introduction This European Sta

16、ndard should be used as a reference in drafting of application codes and/or other application standards. It contains a simplified selection of imperfections based on the designations given in EN 14728, Imperfections in thermoplastic welds Classification. Some imperfections according to EN 14728 have

17、 been used directly and some have been grouped together. The basic numerical referencing system from EN 14728 has been used. The purpose of this standard is to define quality levels based on typical imperfections, which might occur in normal fabrication. It may be used within a quality system for th

18、e production of factory welded joints. It provides three sets of dimensional values from which a selection can be made for a particular application. The quality level necessary in each case should be defined by the application standard or the fabricator in conjunction with the user and/or other part

19、ies concerned. The level should be prescribed before the start of production, preferably at the enquiry or order stage. The quality levels given in this standard are intended to provide basic reference data and are not specifically related to any particular application. They refer to the types of we

20、lded joints in a fabrication and not to the complete product or component itself. It is possible, therefore, that different quality levels are applied to individual welded joints in the same product or component. The choice of quality level for any application should take account of design considera

21、tions, subsequent processing, mode of stressing (e.g. static, dynamic), service conditions (e.g. pressure, temperature, environment) and consequences of failure. Economic factors are also important and should include not only the cost of welding but also of inspection, test and repair. Although this

22、 European Standard includes types of imperfections relevant to the processes given in Clause 1, only those which are applicable to the process and application in question need to be considered. Imperfections are quoted in terms of their actual dimensions. However their detection and evaluation may r

23、equire the use of one or more methods of non-destructive testing. It should be noted that the detection and sizing of imperfections is dependent on the inspection methods and the extent of testing specified in the application standard or contract. The need for detection is not the subject of this st

24、andard. This European Standard is directly applicable to visual examination of welds or test specimens. It does not include details of recommended methods of detection and sizing. The indication provided by non-destructive testing should not be used directly for the evaluation of quality levels. The

25、refore, it needs to be supplemented by requirements for examinations, inspection and testing. DIN EN 16296:2013-01 EN 16296:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard provides quality levels for imperfections in thermoplastics welded joints. It applies to material thickness above 2,0 mm. Three qualit

26、y levels are given in order to permit application for a wide range of welded fabrication. They are designated by symbols B, C and D, where B is the most stringent. The quality levels refer to production quality and not to the fitness-for-purpose (see 3.2) of the manufactured product. This European S

27、tandard applies to the following thermoplastic materials: Table 1 Abbreviation Material description ABS Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene plastic ECTFE Ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer FEP Fluorinated ethylene propylene PB Polybutylene PE Polyethylene PFA Perfluoroalkoxy PP-B Polypropylene b

For dated references, only the editio

30、n cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 14728, Imperfections in thermoplastic welds Classification 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply 3.1 quality le

31、vel description of the qualities of a weld on the basis of type and size of selected imperfections 3.2 fitness-for-purpose ability of a product, process or service to serve a defined purpose under specific conditions 4 Quality levels 4.1 Classification Three quality levels are defined as B, C and D

32、in order to permit application for a wide range of welded fabrications (see Table 2). Table 2 Quality levels for weld imperfections Symbol Requirement B Stringent C IntermediateD Moderate The purpose of this standard is to define quality levels based on typical imperfections, which might occur in no

33、rmal fabrications and are classified in EN 14728. It may be used within a quality system for the production of factory welded joints. It provides three sets of dimensional values from which a selection can be made for a particular application. The quality level necessary in each case should be defin

34、ed by the application standard or the fabricator in conjunction with the user and/or other parties concerned. The level should be prescribed before the start of production, preferably at the enquiry or order stage. For specific applications, additional requirements not covered by this standard may n

35、eed to be prescribed. These additional requirements shall be defined as quality level A. DIN EN 16296:2013-01 EN 16296:2012 (E) 7 4.2 Choice of quality level For the choice of the quality level, the following factors, among others, shall be taken into account: mechanical loading (static, dynamic); e

36、nvironment (media, temperature); material properties (ductile, brittle); manufacturing conditions (workshop, construction site, welding in constrained condition); operating conditions; potential danger in the event of failure. 5 Requirements for welded joints The requirements for the above mentioned

37、 quality levels (B, C and D) are listed as follows: Heated tool butt welds: Table 3; Heated tool socket welds: Table 4; Electrofusion welds: Table 5; Hot gas welds: Table 6; Extrusion welds: Table 7; Solvent welds in pipes: Table 8. Different types of imperfection occurring simultaneously at any cro

38、ss-section of the joint may need special consideration and advice should be sought from the product manufacturer. Any two adjacent imperfections separated by a distance smaller than the major dimension of the smaller imperfection shall be considered as a single imperfection. In certain circumstances

39、, it is necessary to machine the completed weld. In this case, the weld shall be examined both before and after machining.
