This Standard contains basic requirements for products covered by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL)under its Follow-Up Service fo
25、r this category within the limitations given below and in the Scope sectionof this Standard. These requirements are based upon sound engineering principles, research, records oftests and field experience, and an appreciation of the problems of manufacture, installation, and usederived from consultat
26、ion with and information obtained from manufacturers, users, inspection authorities,and others having specialized experience. They are subject to revision as further experience andinvestigation may show is necessary or desirable.B. The observance of the requirements of this Standard by a manufacture
27、r is one of the conditions of thecontinued coverage of the manufacturers product.C. A product which complies with the text of this Standard will not necessarily be judged to comply withthe Standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to have other features which impair the level ofsafety conte
28、mplated by these requirements.D. A product employing materials or having forms of construction which conflict with specific requirementsof the Standard cannot be judged to comply with the Standard. A product employing materials or havingforms of construction not addressed by this Standard may be exa
29、mined and tested according to the intentof the requirements and, if found to meet the intent of this Standard, may be judged to comply with theStandard.E. UL, in performing its functions in accordance with its objectives, does not assume or undertake todischarge any responsibility of the manufacture
30、r or any other party. The opinions and findings of ULrepresent its professional judgment given with due consideration to the necessary limitations of practicaloperation and state of the art at the time the Standard is processed. UL shall not be responsible to anyonefor the use of or reliance upon th
31、is Standard by anyone. UL shall not incur any obligation or liability fordamages, including consequential damages, arising out of or in connection with the use, interpretation of,or reliance upon this Standard.F. Many tests required by the Standards of UL are inherently hazardous and adequate safegu
32、ards forpersonnel and property shall be employed in conducting such tests.MAY 24, 2001UL 17134INTRODUCTION1 Scope1.1 These requirements cover glass-fiber-reinforced, thermosetting-resin pipe (RTRP) andglass-fiber-reinforced, plastic-mortar pipe (RPMP), and their couplings. The pipe is for use in und
33、ergroundfire service systems and connections to such systems.1.2 Pipe covered by these requirements is designated as Class 100, 150, 200, 250, or greater for ratedworking pressures of 100, 150, 200, 250 psig (0.69, 1.03, 1.38, and 1.72 MPa), or higher, respectively,and has a nominal inside diameter
34、of 4 to 60 inches.1.3 Requirements for the installation and use of RTRP and RPMP pressure pipe and couplings arespecified in the Standard for the Installation of Private Fire Service Mains and their Appurtenances,ANSI/NFPA No. 24, and the Standard Practice for Underground Installation of “Fiberglass
35、”(Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Thermosetting-Resin Pipe), ASTM D3839.1.4 A product that contains features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or differentfrom those covered by the requirements in this standard, and that involves a risk of fire or of electric shockor injury to persons s
36、hall be evaluated using appropriate additional component and end-productrequirements to maintain the level of safety as originally anticipated by the intent of this standard. Aproduct whose features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems conflict with specificrequirements or provisions
37、of this standard does not comply with this standard. Revision of requirementsshall be proposed and adopted in conformance with the methods employed for development, revision, andimplementation of this standard.2 Units of Measurement2.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement. Values in
38、 parentheses are explanatory orapproximate information.3 Undated Reference3.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall beinterpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard.MAY 24, 2001 UL 1713 54 Glossary4.1 For the purpose
39、 of this standard, the following definitions apply.4.2 EPOXY RESIN (THERMOSETTING) A polymer containing two or more three-membered ringsconsisting of one oxygen and two carbon atoms, which is cured by cross-linking with an amine oranhydride hardener with or without heat, catalyst, or both.4.3 GLASS
40、FIBERS (STRUCTURAL WALL) A commercial grade of E glass filaments the binder andsizing of which is compatible with the impregnating resin.4.4 LINER A filled or unfilled thermoplastic- or thermosetting-resin layer, nonreinforced or reinforced,forming the interior surface of the pipe.4.5 PRESSURE CLASS
41、 The working pressure of a specified pipe for water service at a specifiedmaximum operating temperature.4.6 POLYESTER RESIN (THERMOSETTING) A polymer with two or more ester groups andcontaining ethylenic unsaturation, dissolved in a reactive diluent with vinyl unsaturation, that is cured bycross-lin
42、king by means of a free-radical initiated curing mechanism, such as peroxide catalyst and heat.4.7 RPMP A tubular product containing glass-fiber reinforcement and aggregate embedded in orsurrounded by cured, thermosetting epoxy or polyester resin. The composite structure may containgranular or plate
43、let fillers, thixotropes, pigments, or dyes. Liner and coating materials includethermoplastic or thermosetting resins.4.8 RTRP A tubular product containing glass-fiber reinforcement embedded in or surrounded bycured, thermosetting epoxy or polyester resin. The composite structure may contain thixotr
