1、Designation: F3034 13Standard Specification forBillets made by Winding Molten Extruded Stress-Rated HighDensity Polyethylene (HDPE)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F3034; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of re
2、vision, 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. Scope1.1 This specification covers billets made from stress-ratedhigh-density polyethylene (HDPE) materials
3、.1.2 The billets are manufactured by application of moltenextruded material onto a rotating mandrel to form a monolithicmass. Machining prior to dimensioning is acceptable.NOTE 1Although it is impossible to address all manufacturing detailsrelated to the fabrication of billets in this specification,
4、 successful heatfusion bonding of HDPE is obtained through controlled application ofsufficient heat to cause melting in combination with applied force over aperiod of time.1.3 The billets are intended for fabrication into pipe fittingssuch as flange adapters and reducers.1.4 Requirements for and use
5、 of the fabricated pipe fittingsshall be in accordance with an applicable product specification.This specification for billets does not include requirements foritems fabricated from the billets.1.5 This specification includes thermoplastic pipe materialdesignation codes for selection of appropriate
6、stress-ratedmaterial, together with performance requirements for billetsand test methods for determining conformance with the re-quirements.1.6 Minimum quality control measures are prescribed formanufacturers. See Annex A1 for quality control for billetsconforming to this specification.1.7 The value
7、s stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with i
8、ts use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
