11、- Test method for resistance to external blows by the round-the-clock method, published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is incorporated into BS 2782 Methods of testing plastics : Part 11 : Thermoplastics pipes, fittings and valves, as Method 1108C : 1995 for association with
12、related test methods for plastics materials and plastics piping components. This test method has been prepared for reference by other standards under preparation by CEN for specification of plastics piping systems and components. It has been implemented to enable experience of the method to be gaine
13、d, and for use for other fresh applications. It is also for use for the revision or amendment of other national standards as practicable, but it should not be presumed to apply to any existing standard or specification which contains or makes reference to a different test method until that standardi
14、specification has been amended or revised to make reference to this method and adjust any requirements as appropriate. In particular, attention is drawn to the fact that because of e.g. differences in striker geometry, this method is not expected to give identical results to those obtained by refere
15、nce to BS 2782 : Part 11 : Method 1108A : 1989, the use of which should be restricted to its current applications. Pending any related amendment of EN 744 : 1995, attention is drawn to the requirement in clause 6 to use a bath of water and ice for conditioning at O OC, which may inhibit the use of e
16、quipment where the bath liquid temperature is controlled by passage through or past a heat exchanger operating at a lower temperature. Warning note. This British Standard, which is identical with EN 744 : 1995, does not necessarily detail all the precautions necessary to meet the requirements of the
17、 Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. Attention should be paid to any appropriate safety precautions and the method should be operated only by trained personnel. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. I 11 O BSI 1996 CEN EN*44 95 m 3404589 O

According to the CENXENELEC Internal Regulations,
26、the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom. This standard is based on ISO/DIS 3127 : 1992 Unplastici
27、zed polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes for the transport of fluids - Detminution and specvication of resistance to external blows, prepared by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is a modification of ISO/DIS 3127 : 1992 for reasons of applicability to other plastics materials an
28、d/or other test conditions and alignment with texts of other standards on test methods. The modifications are: - no pipe material is mentioned; - test parameters, except those common to all plastics, are omitted; - no material-dependent requirements are given; - editorial changes have been introduce
29、d. The material-dependent parameters and/or performance requirements are incorporated in the system standard(s) concerned. Annex A, which is informative, gives guidance on sampling. No existing European Standard is superseded by this standard. This standard is one of a series of standards on test me
30、thods which support system standards for plastics piping systems and ducting systems. O BSI 1996 - CEN ENa744 95 m 3404589 OLL8915 813 m Type 1 Scope This standard specifies a method for determining the resistance to external blows of thermoplastics pipes with circular cross sections by using the ro
31、und-the-clock method. The method is intended to be applied to isolated batches of pipe. For type testing and audit testing, O OC and/or -20 OC are applicable. NOTE. Pipes made from polypropylene homopolymer (PP-H) which principally can not conform to impact requirements at O OC or lower temperatures
32、 are permitted to be tested at (23 f 2) OC under the condition that PP-H pipes are intended for use for soil and waste discharge and bear an additional marking indicating that they are not to be installed below +5 OC. RS d d, a mm mm 2 Definition For the purposes of this standard, the following defi
33、ni t,ion applies. true impact rate (TIR) The total number of failures divided by the total number of blows, in per cent, as if the whole batch had been tested. NOTE. In practice, test pieces are drawn at random from the batch and the result is only an estimate of the TIR for that batch. 3 Principle
34、Test pieces comprising cut lengths of pipe, representative of a batch or a production run from an extruder, are subjected to blows from a falling weight dropped from a specified height on to specified positions around the circumference of the pipe. The incidence of failure is estimated as the true i
35、mpact rate (TIR) of the batch, or production run, where the maximum value for TIR is 10 %. NOTE 1. The severity of this test method can be adjusted to suit different specification needs by changing the mass of the falling weight and/or by changing the fall height. It is not technically correct to va
36、ry the severity of the test by choosing other values of TIR than that specified in this method. NOTE 2. It should be appreciated that a completely definitive result can only be reached by testing the whole batch, hut in practice a balance is necessary between the statistical possibility of a definit
37、ive result and the cost of further testing. NOTE 3. It is assumed that the following test parameters are set by the standard making reference to this standard: a) the type of striker and striker mass (see b) of clause 4 and item a) of 7.1); b) the drop height for the striker (see d) of clause 4 and
38、7.2, 7.3 andlor 7.4 as applicable); c) the method of sampling (see 5. 1 and c) of clause 9); d) if appropriate, the number of test pieces to be used (see 5.2 and clause 7); e) the test and conditioning temperature and the conditioning medium (see clause ); f) if applicable, any alternative or additi
39、onal criterion for failure (see d) of 7.11.

40、ase it to fall vertically and freely such that the speed of the striker at the moment of hitting the pipe is not less than 95 76 of the theoretical speed; b) striker, having a nose comprising all or part of a hemispherical form combined with a cylindrical stem at least 10 mm long and having dimensio
41、ns conforming to table 1 and figure 2, depending upon the mass of the striker. The mass of the striker, including any associated weights, shall be selected from table 2. Below the stem, the nose shall be of steel with a minimum wall thickness of 5 mm and the striking surface shall be free from imper
42、fections which can influence the results. c) rigid test piece support, consisting of a 120 vee-block at least 200 mm long, positioned so that the axis of the line of fall of the nose of the striker shall intersect the axes of the vee to within f 2,5 mm (see figure i). The support construction shall
43、be sufficiently rigid not to cushion the effect of the impact. d) release mechanism, such that the falling weight can fall from a height which can be adjusted up to at least 2 m, as measured from the top surface of the test piece. d90 I50 190 I *) I *) 1 Not suecified. to allow desim freedom. lhble
