(or mm), andR = standard dimension ratio, SDR.3.2.4 standard dimension ratio (SDR)the ratio of outsidediameter to wall thickness. For PE-RT-tubing, it is calculatedby div

Tubing Classification4.1 GeneralThis specification covers one PE-RT tubingmaterial
23、in one standard dimension ratio, 9.0, and havingpressure ratings for water at 73F and 180F and optionally at140F. The pressure ratings decrease as the temperature isincreased.4.2 Standard Thermoplastic Pipe Dimension Ratio (SDR)This specification covers PE-RT tubing in one standarddimension ratio (S
24、DR 9) and nominal tubing sizes (NTS) from18 in. through 6 in. with a maximum continuous use tempera-ture that shall be 180F (82.2C). The pressure ratings areuniform for all nominal tubing sizes.5. Materials5.1 GeneralThe plastic used to make tubing shall bevirgin plastic or reworked plastic, as spec
25、ified in 5.3, and shallhave Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI) long-term hydrostatic designstress and pressure ratings at 73F and 180F. The ratings at140F are an optional standard.5.2 Barrier LayersPE-RT tubing may incorporate an op-tional interior wall, mid wall or outer wall layer or a combi-nation of
26、such layers of non-PE-RT material for the expresspurpose of providing gas barrier properties to the pipe. Thetubing shall meet the minimum wall thickness requirements ofthis standard without using the barrier layer thickness in thedeterminations. PE-RT tubing with a barrier layer within thewall of t
27、he tubing (neither exterior layer nor interior layer)shall demonstrate a hydrostatic design stress (HDS) ratingequivalent to that of PE-RT tubing without a barrier layer. Thisdetermination shall be made in accordance with policies no lessrestrictive than those of the PPI HSB and meet the require-men

34、esistancePE-RT tubing shall have a mini-mum extrapolated time-to-failure of 50 years when tested andevaluated in accordance with 7.7.6.6 Bent TubePE-RT tubing, up to and including 1 in.nominal diameter, can be installed bent by the techniquedescribed in Appendix X3 provided the following requirement
35、sare met. Bent tubing, with a radius of 6 times the outsidediameter and consisting of a continuous bend length inducingnot less than 90 angle, shall meet the 180F (82.2C)minimum hydrostatic sustained pressure strength requirementsshown in Table 5 when tested in accordance with 7.8. The bendlength an
36、d bend angle is kept throughout the testing period byrigid secures immediately outside the bend. The minimum testduration shall be 1000 h without failure.NOTE 1PE-RT tubing, larger than 1 in. nominal diameter, is typicallyinstalled as main distribution lines and is installed in straight runs. Fittin
37、gsare used when a change in direction of 90 or greater and a bend radius ofless than 6 times the outside diameter is needed. The test procedures in 6.6are intended to evaluate PE-RT tubing installed in tight bend applicationsin accordance with the procedure in Appendix X3. This applicationapplies to
38、 tubing up to and including 1 in. nominal diameter only.7. Test Methods7.1 ConditioningCondition the specimens at 73.4 6 3.6F(23 6 2C) and 50 6 5 % relative humidity for not less than 40h prior to test in accordance with Procedure A of PracticeD618, for those tests where conditioning is required. In
39、 casesof disagreement, the tolerances shall be 61.8F (61C) and62 % relative humidity.7.2 Test ConditionsConduct the test in the standard labo-ratory atmosphere of 73.4 6 3.6F (23 6 2C) and 50 6 5%relative humidity, unless otherwise specified in the test meth-ods or in this specification. In cases of
40、 disagreement, thetolerances shall be 61.8F (61C) and 62 % relative humid-ity.7.3 SamplingA sufficient quantity of tubing, as agreedupon by the purchaser and the seller, shall be selected andtested to determine conformance with this specification. In thecase of no prior agreement, random samples sel
41、ected by thetesting laboratory shall be deemed adequate.7.3.1 Test SpecimensUnless otherwise specified in thisstandard or as agreed upon by the purchaser and the seller, thequantity and size of the specimens to be tested shall be asspecified by the test method referred to in this standard.7.4 Dimens
42、ions and TolerancesUse any length of tubingto determine the dimensions. Measure in accordance with TestMethod D2122.7.4.1 Outside DiameterMeasure the outside diameter ofthe tubing in accordance with Test Method D2122. The refereemethod of measurement is to be by circumferential wrap tape.The toleran
43、ce for out-of-roundness shall apply only to tubingprior to shipment. Averaging micrometer or vernier calipermeasurements, four (4) maximum and minimum diametermeasurements at any cross section, may be used for qualitycontrol checks if desired.7.4.2 Wall ThicknessMake micrometer measurements ofthe wa
44、ll thickness in accordance with Test Method D2122 todetermine the maximum and minimum values. Measure thewall thickness at both ends of the tubing to the nearest 0.001 in.(0.025 mm).7.5 Sustained Pressure TestSelect the test specimens atrandom. Test six specimens as per Test Method D1598 in waterat
45、73F (23C) and 180F (82.2C) as shown in Table 5.Iftheoptional 140F rating is desired, perform an additional test at140F (60C) in accordance with Table 5. Each specimen oftubing shall be at least five times the nominal diameter inlength and not less than 12 in. (25 cm) or more than 3.0 ft (91cm) betwe
46、en end closures. Maintain the specimens at thepressures indicated for the appropriate temperatures for aperiod of 1000 h. Failure of two of the six specimens tested ateither temperature constitutes failure in the test. Failure of oneof six specimens tested at either temperature is cause for retestof
47、 six additional specimens at that temperature. Failure of oneof six specimens tested at either temperature in retest consti-tutes failure in the test. Failure of the tubing shall be defined inaccordance with Test Method D1598.7.6 Burst PressureDetermine the sample complies withthe minimum burst pres
48、sure requirements by testing at leastfive specimens in accordance with Test Method D1599 MethodB.
