22、This document specifies the dimensions, the method of sampling and the preparation of the test specimens, and also the conditions for performing the peel test perpendicular to the weld in order to determine the peel resistance and the failure behaviour.A peel test can be used in conjunction with oth
23、er tests (e.g. tensile creep, macroscopic examination.) to assess the performance of welded assemblies, made from thermoplastics materials.Peel tests are applicable to overlap welded assemblies made from thermoplastics materials.The Tpeel test as defined in Clause 5 will be used only for assessing w
24、elded sheet assemblies. This test is not applicable to welded test pieces containing sheets of different nominal thickness.The decohesion test as defined in Clause 6 will be used only for assessing electrofusion joints with nominal thickness of pipe/fitting greater than 10 mm.For socket fusion and f
25、or electrofusion socket joints with nominal outside diameter less than or equal to 90 mm, a crush test will be used, as defined in Clause 7.The crush test can also be used for electrofusion joints with outside diameters greater than 90 mm.The crush test for electrofusion saddle joints will be perfor
26、med in accordance with ISO 13955 1.NOTE A decohesion test is also defined in ISO 13954 2.The tests defined in this standard are not intended to be used for assessment and/or qualification of thermoplastic fittings that already have their own requirements, e.g. polyethylene fittings according to EN 1

The tolerance for b shall be 0,5 mm.5.2.2 Preparation of test s
35、pecimensThe time between the end of the welding operations and the start of machining operations, shall be at least 8 h.The welded test specimens shall be cut perpendicular to the welded joint.The test specimens shall be cut with parallel sides as shown in Figure 1.During cutting, heating of the tes
36、t specimen should be avoided.Cutting of the test specimen shall not produce notches.After cutting, a visual examination of the weld should be carried out and any imperfections, as defined in EN 14728 5, recorded.Each test specimen shall be marked so that its original position in the test piece can b

40、ecimen.5.4 Test procedureThe two unwelded ends of the test specimen shall be bent in opposite directions until each end is perpendicular to the weld, to form a Tshaped specimen (see Figure 2) for clamping in the jaws of the 6 BS EN 128144:2018EN 12814-4:2018 (E)test equipment. Inserting the test spe
41、cimen into the test equipment shall not cause cracking at the weld. If it does, the test is invalid.Unless otherwise specified, the test shall be carried out at a room temperature of (23 2) C.The test speeds for some relevant thermoplastic materials are listed in Table 3.Table 3 Tpeel test speeds fo

45、al peel test, such that the resultant peel should be along the length of the fusion interface. Separation of the joint components is taken to completion and the parted surfaces shall be inspected for evidence of ductile and/or brittle failure along the joint interface.6.2 Test specimens6.2.1 Dimensi

47、 test specimen shall not produce notches.After cutting, a visual examination of the weld should be carried out and any imperfections, as defined in EN 14728 5, recorded.Initially, standard test specimens shall be used for the decohesion test. If the joint cannot be broken, using this test specimen,
48、a side grooved test specimen shall be used (see 6.2.2.3).Each test specimen shall be cut from an assembly between a socket and a spigot end of a fitting or a pipe.6.2.2.2 Cutting of test specimensThe conditioned welded assembly shall be cut into parallelsided sections (see Figure 3).8 BS EN 128144:2
