1、Designation: F689 97 (Reapproved 2011) An American National StandardStandard Practice forDetermination of the Temperature of Above-Ground PlasticGas Pressure Pipe Within Metallic Casings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F689; the number immediately following the designation indica
2、tes the year of originaladoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscriptepsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice describes a procedure for the
3、determina-tion of the temperature history of above-ground plastic gaspressure pipe encased in a metallic casing. Such temperaturechanges may be due to ambient air temperature, or solarexposure, or both.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in paren
4、theses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priat
5、e safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

16、and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.1wiring shall follow the piping and exit out the horizontalportion of the riser (see Fig. 2).6.4 At least two specimens shall be used at each test site.7. Procedure7.1 Calibrate all thermocouple re
17、corder combinations inaccordance with Method E220.7.2 Install the riser so that the bare thermocouple probelocation is 6 6 1 in. (150 m 6 25 mm) above grade and facingsouth. Install a vertical reflective panel 8 6 1 in. (200 6 25mm) due north of the specimens, facing due south. Thereflective panel s
18、hall be at least 1 ft (300 mm) higher than theexposed height of the specimens and shall extend at least 1 ft(300 mm) beyond the center line of the test specimen in eachhorizontal direction. The panel shall have a matte-whitesurface. A bed of light-colored crushed stone shall be providedextending fro
19、m the reflective panel at least 1 ft (300 mm)beyond the test specimen (see Fig. 2). Connect specimenthermocouples to the continuous chart recorder.7.3 Install the ambient thermocouple apparatus in accor-dance with Fig. 1 within the immediate vicinity of thespecimen and connect it to the continuous c
20、hart recorder. Anoptional fifth thermocouple may be installed 12 in. belowgrade.7.4 Install the solar load panel in the immediate vicinity ofthe specimen facing due south, and inclined at an angle withthe horizontal equal to local latitude. The panel shall be locatedso that it will receive maximum d
21、irect sunlight. Connect thesolar load thermocouple to the continuous chart recorder.7.5 Monitor riser temperatures and compare these data withdaily ambient and solar load readings. These temperaturecomparisons will yield a relationship of solar radiation, cloudcover, thermal induction, and other par
22、ameters. These data canthen be compared with data obtained at other geographiclocations.7.6 Record any abnormal test conditions.7.7 The measurements should be taken during the warmestmonths of the year as determined from local meteorologicalrecords (for example, month with the highest ambient temper
23、a-ture and least amount of cloud cover).FIG. 1 Weather StationFIG. 2 Self-Centering Riser SI EquivalentsF689 97 (2011)27.8 The test data should be compared with the historicalrecords for the ambient temperature and cloud cover to ensurethat the test period was typical for both average ambienttempera
