The work
13、 of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmen
14、tal, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The ma
15、in task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. At
16、tention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

19、n With the increasing use of bimodal polyethylene (PE) materials such as PE 80 and PE 100, more and more PE compounds are appearing on the pipe market accompanied by proposals for butt fusion procedures that often differ for the same materials. The aim of standardization is to encourage the use of s
20、imilar procedures for similar materials. There is a need to examine current practice on a global scale and establish the best procedure(s) for the highest-quality, most reliable and efficient construction of PE butt fusion systems for gas and water distribution.

22、 establishes general principles regarding the procedure used in the construction and quality assessment of butt fusion joints incorporating fittings (ISO 8085-2) and pipes used in the construction of gas (ISO 4437) and water (ISO 4427) distribution systems made with equipment that complies with ISO
23、12176-1 and installed in accordance with ISO/TS 10839, relevant codes of practice, national regulations or industry guidance. Specifically, this International Standard specifies a number of proven butt fusion jointing procedures for pipes and fittings with a wall thickness up to and including 70 mm.
24、 This International Standard takes into consideration the materials and components used, the fusion jointing procedure and equipment and the quality assessment of the completed joint. It can be applied in conjunction with appropriate national regulations and standards. NOTE It is important that pipe
25、 or fitting manufacturers and equipment manufacturers be consulted when undertaking butt fusion jointing of pipes with a wall thickness greater than 70 mm. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

44、or a designated time. Butt fusion joints shall be made by qualified operators using butt fusion jointing machines that secure and precisely align the pipe ends. The training and level of skill of the operator shall be in accordance with the requirements of the jointing procedure. A written jointing
45、procedure, authorized by the pipeline operator, shall be available prior to the construction of a pipeline. The jointing procedure shall include specification of the jointing method, the fusion parameters, the fusion equipment, the jointing conditions, the level of skill of the operator, and the qua
46、lity control methods to be used. Guidelines for quality control are given in Clause 6. Key elements of the jointing process shall include: a) cleaning the pipe or fitting ends, planing unit and heater surfaces; b) clamping the components to be joined (pipe support may be required to ensure proper al
47、ignment and the pipe support may also need to incorporate rollers to reduce drag pressure); c) planing the pipe or fitting ends; d) aligning the pipes or fittings; e) measuring the drag and compensating pressure accordingly; f) melting the pipe or fitting ends; g) jointing the pipe or fitting ends;
48、h) holding the pipe or fitting ends under pressure for the duration of the cooling time in the machine; i) completing the cooling time in machine without pressure or out of machine if required. These key elements are explained in more detail in 4.3 to 4.10. 4.3 Cleaning the pipe or fitting ends, pla
49、ning unit and heater surfaces Before placing them in the machine, clean the inside and outside of the pipe or fittings to be joined by wiping the joint area with a clean lint-free cloth. All foreign matter shall be removed from the jointing area. If the pipe has a protective outer layer, it shall be peeled back far enough so that the pipe can be properly clamped in the fusion machine, unless otherwise specified by the pipe manufacturer. Clean the planing unit and the heater plate surfaces w
