11、or endorses the products described in this specification.F2829/F2829M 153APPENDIXES(Nonmandatory Information)X1. APPENDIXX1.1 Hydrostatic design stresses recommended by the Plas-tic Pipe Institute are used to pressure rate PEX plastic pipe.These design stresses are based on the 100,000-h hydrostatic
12、strength of the pipe obtained in accordance with Test MethodD2837. Additional information regarding the method of testand other criteria used in developing these hydrostatic designstresses may be obtained from the Plastics Pipe Institute. SeeTable X1.1 for SDR 9 example.X1.2 Independent methods for
13、determining the hydrostaticdesign stress of fittings have yet to be developed due to thecomplicating effects of fitting geometry. Instead, fittings andassembled systems carry an implied pressure rating equivalentto that of the corresponding pipe on the basis of actualequivalent hydrostatic performan
14、ce of assembled systems forperiods exceeding 10,000 h. The sustained pressure require-ments of 6.2 for fittings tested as assembled systems are basedon stress rupture data for pipe.X1.3 The hydrostatic design stresses are not suitable formaterials that show a negative departure from a straight linep
15、lot of log versus stress versus log time to failure. All of thedata available to date on PEX pipe materials and fittingassemblies, tested in accordance with Test Method D2837,meet this requirement. Experience of the industry indicates thatPEX piping systems made from components meeting therequiremen
16、ts of this specification give satisfactory serviceunder normal conditions at these temperature-pressure ratings.X2. DESIGN, ASSEMBLY, AND INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONSX2.1 AssemblyX2.1.1 Compression-Type Fittings: Assemble in accordancewith the manufacturers instructions. Compression-type fittingsare
17、likely to include inserts and ferrules, or O-rings which forman essential part of the fittings assembly and should not beomitted.X2.1.2 Insert Fittings: A number of techniques have beendeveloped where a fitting is firmly secured to PEX pipe. Thefitting is placed inside the tube and a tool is employe
18、d to crimpa metallic lock ring around the pipe outside diameter adjacentto the fitting. This provides a mechanical lock with the pipebeing wedged securely between the ring and the insert fitting.X2.1.3 Mechanical Fittings: A number of fitting systemshave been developed that can be described as mecha
19、nicalcompression-type joining. They are comprised of fittings thatprovide a seal on the outer surface of PEX pipe. The actualsealing is affected by the following methods:X2.1.3.1 Cold Flaring: Utilize a cold flaring tool, whereinthe pipe outside diameter is expanded mechanically. Theexpanded or flar
20、ed end is then secured between a fitting. Flareconfiguration may vary depending on the particular toolemployed. The flared surface generally serves as the sealingarea between the pipe and fitting.(1) Elastomeric cone with threaded nut.(2) Ferrule with a threaded nut. The above compression-type fitti
21、ngs should be assembled in accordance with themanufacturers recommendations.X2.1.3.2 Electrofusion Fittings: Assemble in accordancewith the manufacturers instructions. For applications up to140F 60C, electrofusion fittings are made from polyethyl-ene. For higher temperature applications, electrofusi
22、on fittingsare made from a PEX material.X2.1.4 The manufacturer should be consulted regardingauthorized fittings for use with PEX pipe.X2.2 InstallationX2.2.1 Storage and Handling: PEX fittings should be storedunder cover to avoid unnecessary dirt accumulation andlong-term exposure to sunlight. Care
23、 should be used inhandling to ensure that unnecessary abuse, such as dropping onconcrete, nicking or denting, is avoided.X2.2.2 Pressure Testing: A pressure test with water at 100psi 0.69 MPa on the system excluding the hot water heater isadvisable to test for fitting leakage.X2.2.3 Soldering in the
24、 Area: Soldered metal fittings shouldnot be made closer than 18 in. 460 mm to an installedplastic-to-metal adapter in the same water line.TABLE X1.1 Hydrostatic Design Stresses and Pressure Ratingsfor SDR 9 PEX Pipe for Hot Water Distribution SystemsRatedTemperatureHydrostaticDesign StressPressure R

OPTIONAL PERFORMANCE QUALIFICATION AND IN-PLANT QUALITY-CONTROL PROGRAM FOR PEX PIPINGSYSTEM COMPONENTSX3.1 ScopeX3.1.1 The following program covers performance qualifi-cation
26、 and in-plant quality control for component design andmanufacture respectively to provide reasonable assurance thatPEX components supplied under this specification shall con-sistently meet its requirements.X3.2 Performance QualificationsX3.2.1 Performance qualification tests shall be run initiallyon
27、 each component design, size, and formulation in accordancewith the requirements of this specification. The test resultsshall be independently certified and shall be made available tothe purchaser on request.X3.3 In-Plant Quality ControlX3.3.1 MaterialThe pipe material shall be PEX asdefined in Sect
28、ion 4 of this specification. The manufacturershall so certify.X3.3.2 Quality-Control TestingPipe and fitting quality-control tests shall be run for each extrusion line or mold cavityin accordance with the requirements of this specification at afrequency agreed upon between the purchaser and the manu
29、-facturer. The program outlined in Table X3.1 is recommended.The test results shall be recorded and filed for inspection onrequest. Should a component fail to meet the specification inany test, production should be sampled back to the previousacceptable test result and tested to determine which comp
30、o-nents produced in the interim do not meet the requirement.Components that do not meet the requirements of this specifi-cation shall be rejected.
