1、Designation: F 656 08An American National StandardStandard Specification forPrimers for Use in Solvent Cement Joints of Poly(VinylChloride) (PVC) Plastic Pipe and Fittings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 656; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year o
2、foriginal 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 specification covers requirements for primers foruse
3、 with poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) pipe and fittings that are tobe joined by PVC solvent cements meeting the requirements ofSpecification D 2564.1.2 These primers are used in pressure and nonpressureapplications with plain end pipe and either socket-type fittingsor bell end pipe. These primers prepare
4、 the surface of pipe andfittings before the application of solvent cement. The primerseffect on the set and cure time of the joint is dependent on thecement, pipe size, application method, temperature, and hu-midity.1.3 Aprocedure for using the primer with cement is given inPractice D 2855.1.4 The t
5、ext of this specification references notes, footnotes,and appendixes which provide explanatory material. Thesenotes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shallnot be considered as requirements of the specification.1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the sta
6、ndard. The values given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.6 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to thetest methods portion, Section 6, of this specification: Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibi
7、lity of the userof this standard to establish appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use.2.

Detail Requirements5.1 Dissolving AbilityThe primer shall be capable ofdissolving at least 10 % by weight of PVC resin at 73.4 63.
17、6F (23 6 2C) within 60 min, as specified in 5.1. The PVCresin shall be a resin used to make poly(vinyl chloride)molding or extrusion compound meeting the requirements ofClass 12454-B, as classified in Specification D 1784.5.2 StabilityThe 10 % resin-primer solution mixed inaccordance with 6.1.1 shal
18、l be tested for stability in accordancewith 6.2.6. Test Methods6.1 Dissolving Ability:6.1.1 Weigh 270 g of the primer being tested into a closedmixing container. Weigh out 30 g of PVC resin. Adjust thetemperature of the primer to 73.4 6 3.6F (23 6 2C). Beginmixing the primer, using a laboratory mixe
19、r designed formixing flammable liquids. Add the resin to the primer andcontinue mixing for 60 min at a mixing speed of 1500 r/min orless, using a mixing blade and speed so that the maximumtemperature of the mixture during the mixing period is 90F(32C) or less. After 60 min, turn off the mixer and ad
20、just thetemperature to 73.4 6 3.6F (23 6 2C).6.1.2 Visually observe whether the resin is completelydissolved. The solution shall be smooth, nongrainy, free-flowing, and shall not contain any undissolved resin.6.2 StabilityHold the resin-primer solution at 40F (5C)for 24 h and then observe that (1) t
21、he resin is still completelydissolved, (2) the solution is free flowing, and (3) there are nosigns of stringiness or gelatin structure.7. Retest and Rejection7.1 If the results of any test(s) do not meet the requirementsof this specification, the test(s) shall be conducted again onlyby agreement bet
22、ween the purchaser and the seller. Under suchagreement, minimum requirements shall not be lowered, nortests omitted, substituted, changed, or modified, nor shallspecification limits be changed.
