Includedare the requirements for materials, workmanship, burstpressure, sustained pressure, exce
5、ssive temperature andpressure, temperature cycling tests, and markings to be used onthe fittings and rings. The fittings covered by this specificationare intended for use in potable water distribution systems forresidential and commercial applications, water service, under-ground irrigation systems,
6、 and radient panel heating systems,baseboard, snow- and ice-melt systems, and gases that arecompatible with the composite pipe and fittings.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provid
