1、Designation: D2152 13 An American National StandardStandard Test Method forAdequacy of Fusion of Extruded Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (PVC)Pipe and Molded Fittings by Acetone Immersion1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2152; the number immediately following the designation indicates the
2、year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of the ad
3、-equacy of fusion of extruded rigid poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)pipe and molded fittings as indicated by reaction to immersionin anhydrous acetone.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard except where instruments are calibrated in SIunits.1.3 This standard does not p
4、urport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Significance and Use3.1 This test method is applicable only for distinguishingbetween inadequately fused and adequately fused PVC. Thedifference between thermally degraded and adequately fusedPVC
6、cannot be detected by this test method. Acetone immer-sion is not a substitute for burst, impact, or other physical orchemical tests on PVC pipe or fittings and it, therefore, shallnot be used as the only test specification for purchasing of PVCpipe and fittings. This test only detects inadequate fu
7、sion anddoes not determine the over-all quality of the PVC pipe orfittings.3.2 This test method is useful in determining whetherinadequate fusion contributed to failure of PVC pipe or fittingsin other physical or chemical tests, or in service.3.3 This test method is useful in evaluating the adequacy
8、 ofPVC fusion obtained in process or materials trials.3.4 This test method determines adequacy of fusion on asingle, relatively small specimen. This test method requires theuse of a hazardous reagent which must be properly handled anddisposed. Therefore, this test method may not be cost-effectiveto

12、 % water by mass (seeFig. X1.1), use fresh acetone or dry the wet acetone with adrying agent. Recheck the density of the fresh or dried acetonebefore using.NOTE 2Wet acetone can be dried by thoroughly agitating it with atleast 15 g of anhydrous calcium sulfate (CaSO4) for each gram of waterpresent.N

18、cetone.6. Sampling6.1 Specimens shall be taken from individual pipe sections,fittings, or remnant portions of pipe or fittings. Specimens shallbe taken from locations which are to be evaluated for adequacyof fusion, or immediately adjacent to them.6.2 The number of individual specimens to be tested
19、andtheir locations shall be chosen to be representative of the pipeor fittings being evaluated for adequacy of fusion.7. Test Specimens7.1 Size of SpecimenSpecimen shall be a size that isconvenient to immerse in the test container but not less than12in. (13 mm) in height. For small diameter pipe, th
20、e specimenshall be a complete circumferential section of the pipe. Forlarge diameter pipe, the specimen shall be a full pipe sectionbut it may be cut into smaller pieces to facilitate testing. Smallmolded parts shall be immersed as a single item. For largemolded fittings, the specimen shall be a com
21、plete circumfer-ential section which may be cut into segments before beingimmersed. If the pipe or fitting to be evaluated has fractured orfragmented in other tests or in service, specimens of any shapeand size may be tested.7.2 Specimen PreparationFor pipe having a wall thick-ness greater than 0.12
22、5 in. (3.2 mm) the wall thickness shall bereduced to allow testing of the entire wall thickness of thespecimen at six or more intervals around the circumference ofone end of the specimen. The mid-wall surface exposed fortesting shall be from the interior wall surface to the exteriorwall surface at a
23、 minimum of 45 degrees from the square cuton the end of the pipe as shown in Fig. 1. Removal shall beeffected by filing, wet sanding, or other means that willminimize localized heating of the surface. It is not necessary toreduce the wall thickness on molded fittings.8. Conditioning8.1 Unless otherw
24、ise specified, condition the specimens inairfor1hat236 2C (73.4 6 3.6F) prior to testing. Thespecimens shall not be conditioned in water because of theeffect water has on the acetone. For referee purposes condi-tioning shall be in accordance with Procedure A of PracticeD618.9. Procedure9.1 Conduct t
25、he tests in a Standard Laboratory Atmosphereof 23 6 2C unless otherwise specified.9.2 Place sufficient dried acetone into the container toensure complete immersion of the specimen.9.3 Place the test specimen in the acetone, seal thecontainer, and do not agitate. Allow specimen to stand im-mersed for
26、 20 min.9.4 After 20 min, remove the specimen from the containerand inspect for signs of attack.9.5 Attack is described as a lifting, raising, or removing, orboth, of any material outside surface, inside surface, ormid-wall, of the specimen. Swelling or softening of the testspecimen shall not be con

Fusion Criteria10.1 At least 50 % attack of the inside, outside, or mid-wallsurface or at least 10 % attack on more than one surface shallbe considered to be indicative of inadequate fusion.11.
