10、 of corrosiveness The corrosiveness of the sealant shall be tested using copper, copper-zinc alloy, zinc and low carbon steel strips each 75 mm long, 13 mm wide and not less than 0,5 mm thick. Mechanically abrade both faces and the edges of each strip to obtain a uniform finish free from defects. Po
11、lish each strip with emery paper (grade No. 400) and then clean with successive pads of cotton wool until a fresh pad remains unsoiled after use. Wash each strip with acetone and allow it to dry. Use clean forceps for all further handling of the strips. Coat 50 mm of one side of each of two test str
12、ips of the same metal with sealant. Lay one strip, treated side up, on a horizontal surface and place the other with an overlapping of the coated 50 mm directly on top, treated side down. Hold in position with a (200 * 10) g weight. Store the test strips for (336 f 2)h at (20 15) OC and then separat
13、e them - if necessary after warming up. The cleaned surfaces of the test strips shall show no pitting due to the effect of the sealant, but changes in the color and clouding of the polished surfaces shall be acceptable. 6.1.2 Test of effect on seals The effect of the sealant on seals used for interi
14、or gas pipework shall be tested in accordance with 7.6 of EN 549:1994 by assessing the swelling caused by the sealant (instead of pentane) and the behaviour at subsequent drying of specimens made from nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) with an IRHD hardness of 75 * 5 which satisfy the requirements laid
15、down in EN 549:1994. The increase in mass due to swelling shall not exceed 1 O % and the change in hardness shall not exceed 1 O IRHD. The decrease in mass after drying shall not be in excess of 5 % and the change in hardness shall not be in excess of 10 IRHD. This test is not relevant for anaerobic
16、 sealants. 6.1.3 Test of effect on the combustion behaviour of fuel gases To test the effect of the sealant on the combustion behaviour of fuel gases, 100 ml of sealant shall be filled into a Woulf bottle with a capacity of approx. 500 ml. The gas inlet pipe shall run through the central bottle tube
17、 and shall end (5 f 1) mm above the liquid level. The gas outlet pipe shall end at least 50 mm above the liquid level. Air shall be removed from the bottle by purging the bottle with natural gas. Following purging, the pilot of a conventional instantaneous water heater and a thermo- electric flame s
18、upervision device shall be connected to the outlet using a short glass, metal or PTFE tubing and shall be adjusted properly. The length of the pilot flame shall then be measured at a given pressure. Following 72 h of continuous operation at (20 * 5) OC, the function of the pilot and the thermo-elect
19、ric flame supervision device shall be tested and the length of the pilot flame shall be measured. Further the nozzle, the burner, the temperature sensor and the thermo-electric flame supervision device shall be examined for deposits.

The different threads on each pipe section shall be clearly marked to avoid confusion. Remove cutting oi
24、l before assembly by cleaning all threads successively with toluene and acetone in an ultrasonic bath. The steel bars are longitudinally and symmetrically welded on each of 8 sockets with the length of the bars on both sockets sides being the same. The pipe sections bearing the more deeply cut threa
25、d shall be hand assembled with these sockets using hemp, 0,3 g dried for not less than 72 h over silica gel. following the pattern of IS0 7-1 on both ends of the pipe sections in two different To reach an equal leakage rate of both joints of each test assembly the leakage rate of the assemblies shal
26、l first be reduced to about 30 ml/min (1,8 I/h) at a test pressure of 150 mbar by screwing both pipe sections equally deeply into the sockets. After that, one pipe shall be loosened until the leakage rate of the test assembly has risen to 50 ml/min (3 Vh). The end of the steel bar on the socket shal
27、l thereupon be welded to the loosened pipe to fix its position. The second pipe shall then also be loosened to obtain a total leakage rate across the test assembly of (85 * 5) mVmin (5 Vh) and the position of the second pipe shall also be fixed by welding. The overlap between the pipe sections and s
28、ockets shall be about 6 threads. Note 1 The thermal stress to which the assemblies are exposed by the above welding operations shall be minimized and the distance between each pipelbar weld and the socket shall not be less than 60 mm. Note 2 Test assemblies which are not treated by sealant promptly
29、ater preparation shall be stored in a desiccator over silica gel to prevent the hemp from swelling due to the absorption of moisture from ambient air. Page 8 EN 13090:2000 6.2.1.2 Sealing The test assemblies prepared in accordance with 6.2.1.1 shall be treated with the sealant in accordance with the
30、 instructions of the sealant manufacturer. Safety goggles and impervious protective gloves shall be worn when handling the materials and sealing the test assemblies. 6.2.1.2.1 Sealing by the filling method If not otherwise specified by the sealant manufacturer sealing shall be affected as follows. C
31、onnect the 8 test assemblies in two lines of 4 test assemblies using the remaining sockets and PTFE tape according to EN 751 -3 to seal the threaded joints. For sealants applied by complete filling of gas pipework the ends of these two lines are to be fitted with the reducing sockets. With the lines
32、 fixed vertically the upper ends are then fitted with stopcocks while the lower ends are connected to a pressure vessel. Pour sufficient sealant to fill both lines into the pressure vessel. After closing the pressure vessel the two lines of test assemblies are slowly filled with the sealant under a
33、slight pressure of about 0,2 bar which overcomes the hydrostatic pressure of the sealant in the lines. When the lines have been completely filled with the sealant and the overflow no longer contains any air bubbles close the stopcocks and pressurize the system at the pressure required by the manufac
34、turer for the specified time. After the sealing the pressures shall be released and the lines shall be drained according to the manufactures instructions. Then air shall be passed with a flow rate of (100 * 10) I/h for (120-50) h at a temperature of (20 * 5) OC through both lines. 6.2.1.2.2 Sealing
35、by the spraying method For sealants applied by the spraying method the ends of the two lines of test assemblies (see 6.2.1.2.1) shall be vertically fixed and connected symmetrically by two R 1/* T-fittings to a horizontal connection line with a third T-fitting in the middle. The upper ends of the tw
36、o lines of test assemblies shall be fitted with reducing sockets and closed by stop cocks. The two T-fittings at the lower end of the two lines shall be closed by plugs. The T-fitting in the connection line shall be connected to a S-shaped DN 40 pipework consisting of three horizontal sections of 5
37、m length each, which are connected by two vertical pipes of 0,25 m length and four elbow-fittings (see figure 1). The sealant shall be sprayed into the pipe system at the lower end of the S-shaped pipework according to the manufacturers instruction. An appropriate knock- out vessel to precipitate an
38、y remaining sealant dropplets followed by a filter are used to remove surplus sealant from the gas stream which is then conducted to a hood or vent. After the application the two lines of test assemblies shall be drained - if appropriate - and the residual sealant hardened or cured according to the
39、manufacturers instructions. 6.2.1.2.3 Sealing by wicking or capillary flow For sealants applied from the outside of the threaded joints of gas pipework and which penetrate the threads by wicking or capillary flow the test arrangement for the filling method (6.2.1.2.1) may be used (without the pressu
40、re vessel). It depends on the manufacturers application instructions whether the sealant shall be applied to the test assemblies under gas pressure. If the manufacturer specifies that the sealant can be applied to gas pipework under the normal distribution pressure, then the test assemblies have to
41、be pressurized with nitrogen to 100 mbar during both the sealing procedure and the drying or hardening period specified by the manufacturer. STD-BSI BS EN L3070-ENGL 2000 W Lb24bb7 0883423 421 Page 9 EN 13090:2000 The sealing of the two vertically fixed lines of test joints is performed according to
42、 the manufacturers instructions. However, it is not permissible to turn the lines for the sealing of the lower threaded joints. 6.2.1.3 Soundness test After the two lines of test assemblies have been sealed according to 6.2.1.2 the test assemblies shall carefully be disconnected from each other with
43、out stressing the sealed threaded joints under test and closed by rubber plugs or end caps. Each test assembly is separately tested for leaks under a test pressure of 150 mbar with a device capable of measuring leakage rates of I 2 ml/h. The temperature of the test assembly during the soundness test
44、 shall not vary more than * 0,5 OC to avoid any significant disturbance of the measurement. The temperature influence may be further lessend by inserting a plastic cylinder into the test assemblies. Each specimen shall be deemed to be tight if the leakage rate does not exceed 1 O ml/h at a test pres
45、sure of 150 mbar. If the leakage rate across one specimen is higher than this leakage rate, then said specimen shall not be used for further testing. If the leakage rate across a second specimen is higher than the specified leakage rate, the test shall be deemed to have been failed. In all tests req
46、uired under 6.2.1.3 through 6.2.1.6, no more than one specimen shall leak at a rate higher than 1 O mh. Only for one of 8 test assemblies a leakage rate up to 30 ml/h is permitted throughout all successive tests. All test assemblies shall be successively tested according to 6.2.1.4 to 6.2.1.6. Page
47、10 EN 13090:2000 6.2.1.4 Aging test The test assemblies shall be heated to (50 f 2) OC for 1000 h during which air heated by passage through a heat exchanger inside the oven to (502,) OC shall be passed through the test assemblies at a flow rate of (100 f 10) I/h. The soundness of the test assemblie
48、s shall thereafter be tested in accordance with 6.2.1.3. 6.2.1.5 Test of resistance against gas condensate Following the test of aging resistance in accordance with 6.2.1.4, all test assemblies shall be filled with iso-octane and stored in vertical positions for a period of (72 0,) h at a temperatur
49、e of (20 * 5) OC. After that period, the iso-octane shall be removed from the test assemblies and air shall be passed through the test assemblies at a temperature of (50 * 2) OC for a period of (120 0,) h at a flow rate of (100 I 10) Ih. The soundness of the test assemblies shall then be tested in accordance with 6.2.1.3. 6.2.1.6 Test of vibration resistance Following the test of condensate resistance in accordance with 6.2.1.5, all test assemblies shall be fitted with reducing sockets provided with a DN 15 nipple on which a bearing (ball race) shall be mounted.
