A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers a procedure for
3、 evaluating the quality of molded poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) plastic pipe fittingsafter exposure to heat.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in eachsystem may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall
4、be used independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish approp
5、riate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.2. Summary of Test Method2.1 A representative sample of the fitting being produced is placed in a thermostatically controlled oven at 302 6 5.4F 1506 3C for 30 min. The acceptability of the fittin
6、g quality, after the required test time, is based or expressed as a percentage ofthe original wall thickness or surface area of the fitting.3. Significance and Use3.1 This test method is applicable to distinguish between properly and improperly molded PVC plastic pipe fittings. It can beused to:3.1.
7、1 Determine whether cold slugs or unfused areas are present (Note 1),3.1.2 Determine the amount of molded-in stress produced by the molding process (Note 2),3.1.3 Reveal contamination, and3.1.4 Show the quality of the weld line.NOTE 1A cold slug is a piece of material that enters the mold at a signi
8、ficantly lower temperature than the rest of the mass.NOTE 2A stress-free part will generally have better properties and higher strength than those with a high degree of stress. Stress-free parts willgenerally react better when exposed to chemicals.4. Apparatus4.1 Circulating Air Oven, thermostatical
9、ly controlled, capable of operating at 302 6 5.4F 150 6 3C such that after insertionof the fittings to be tested the test temperature is regained within 15 min or less. (See Annex A1.)NOTE 3The oven should be vented to the outside of the building.5. Conditioning5.1 A specific conditioning period is
10、not required although the fitting shall be at room temperature. This test can be performedon a particular fitting any time after it has been produced.6. Procedure6.1 Select the fittings to be tested and examine them for the following, making proper notation for the report:6.1.1 The condition and app

17、 a body and branch wall that falls within two different exposure times, two fittings shallbe tested. One will be tested using the lower exposure time, and the other will be tested using the longer exposure time.6.3 Allow the fittings to cool to room temperature naturally in the air. When cool enough
