The dimensions and out-of-roundness of the crimp ringafter it has been crimped shall be in accordance with Table 3.10.1.1 Crimping ProcedureTo affix the insert fitting to thetubing with the crimp ring, the crimping procedure shall be asfollows: slide the crimp ri

The crimp ringshall then be positioned on the tubing so the edge of the crimpring is18 in. to14 in. (3.2 to 6.4 mm) from the end of the tube.The jaws

37、of the crimping tool shall be centered over the crimpring and the tool shall be held so that the crimping jaws areapproximately perpendicular to the axis of the barb. The jawsof the crimping tool shall be closed around the crimp ring,compressing the crimp ring onto the tubing. The crimp ringshall no

39、hall be used to the extentpossible as a guide to other conditions.11.2 Test ConditionsConduct the tests in the standardlaboratory atmosphere at 73 6 4F (23 6 2C) and 50 6 5%relative humidity unless otherwise specified in the test methodsor in this specification.11.3 SamplingA sample of the fittings,

40、 crimp rings, andPEX tubing sufficient to determine conformance with thisspecification shall be taken at random.11.4 DimensionsAny randomly selected fitting or fittingsand crimp ring or crimp rings shall be used to determinedimensions. Measurements shall be made in accordance withTest Method D2122.

41、Determine the diameters by makingmeasurements at four locations spaced at approximately 45apart around the circumference.11.5 Burst PressureDetermine the minimum burst pres-sure in accordance with Test Method D1599 on at least sixassemblies for each temperature in Table 1. Leakage orseparation at an

42、y of the joints tested, or from the fitting itself,at less than the minimum burst requirements for the tempera-tures specified in Table 1 shall constitute a failure in this test.11.6 Sustained Hydrostatic PressurePerform the test on atleast six assemblies in accordance with Test Method D1598,except

43、for the following:11.6.1 Test temperature shall be 180 6 4F (82 6 2C).11.6.2 The external test environment shall be air or water.11.6.3 Fill the specimens with water at a temperature of atleast 120F (50C).11.6.4 Leakage or separation at any joint tested at less than1000 h at the sustained pressure a

44、s given in Table 2 shallconstitute failure in this test.11.7 Thermocycling:11.7.1 Summary of Test MethodThis test method describesa pass-fail test for thermally cycling assemblies comprised ofinsert fitting, crimp ring, and PEX tubing over a criticaltemperature range for a selected number of cycles

45、whilesubjected to an internal pressure. The test provides a measureof resistance to failure due to the combined effects of differ-ential thermal expansion and creep of connections intended foruse up to and including 180F (82C).11.7.2 ApparatusA pressure source capable of maintain-ing an internal pre

46、ssure of 100 6 10 psi (690 6 69 kPa) on thespecimens is required. An immersion system shall consist oftwo water reservoirs controlled at 60 6 4F (16 6 2C) and180 6 4F (82 6 2C) into which the pressurized specimenswill be immersed. Either samples are cycled manually usingflexible connectors or altern

47、ately the hot and cold water iscycled over the test specimens automatically and returned tothe proper reservoir (Note 2).NOTE 2Automatic recycling may be accomplished by pumping fromeach reservoir through a delivery system having timer-actuated valves tospecimen troughs having synchronized, timer-ac

48、tuated return drains. Anyautomatic apparatus shall provide for complete immersion of the testspecimen in the water.11.7.3 Specimen AssemblyTest six assemblies. Attach theassemblies to a common manifold in such a way to allowfree-end movement of the tubing. Close this specimen assem-bly with any suit

49、able end closure that will allow free-endmounting and will not leak under the thermocycle conditions,and connect the specimen assembly to the pressure source.11.7.4 ProcedurePressurize the specimen assembly withair to 100 6 10 psi (690 6 69 kPa) and check for leaks.Eliminate any leaks before the thermocycle test is started.Thermally cycle the specimen assembly either manually orautomatically and under a constant internal pressure of 100 610 psi (690 6 69 kPa), alternately between 60 6 4F (16 62C) and 180 6
