The performance of a material or piping productunder actual conditions of installation and use is dependentupon a number of factors including installati

29、on methods, usepatterns, water quality, nature and magnitude of localizedstresses, and other variables of an actual, operating cold watersupply or service system that are not addressed in this testmethod.

33、Speci-mens shall be allowed to freely expand bi-directionally.7. Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units7.1 SamplingSelect at random, a sufficient amount of pipeto satisfy the specimen requirements of this test method.

34、st Specimen SizeThe recommended minimum pipesize is12 CTS, and common test sizes are12 in. CTS and 4 in.FIG. 1 Pictorial Illustration of Failure TypesF2263 142IPS. The PE pipe specimens shall be 12 to 18 in. (300 to 460mm) in length between fitting closures or between fitting joints.7.2.1 Dimensions

35、 MeasurementMeasure and record thecritical dimensions for pipe and fittings. For pipe, measure theaverage outside diameter and wall-thickness in accordancewith Test Method D2122. For fittings, measure those dimen-sions critical to the function of the joint, as well as minimumbody wall thickness.7.3

36、Testing as a SystemWhen testing PE pipe and relatedsystem components (such as fittings) as a system, the othercomponents shall be attached to the PE pipe in the samemanner as in actual service. For fittings, the particular fittingstyle shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturersinstructi

37、ons or the ASTM specification when applicable.7.4 Minimum Required Test UnitsA minimum of six testunits is required. A test unit is comprised of two or moreindividual time-to-failure data points at the same temperatureand hoop stress condition. Obtaining additional data points ateach temperature/hoo

38、p stress condition will benefit statisticalreliability of the analysis of the resultant data.7.4.1 Test Unit DistributionTime-to-failure data pointsshall be obtained at 2 test hoop stresses at each of a minimumof 3 test temperatures for a minimum of 12 data points. As analternate, obtain time-to-fai

39、lure data for the temperature/hoopstress combinations of the three-temperature matrix of PPITN-16, see Note 3. Hoop stresses shall be separated by a least80 psi (0.55 MPa).NOTE 3When using the PPI TN-16 matrix, Temperature T3, whichrequires testing at only one stress, refers to the lowest test tempe

40、rature.7.4.2 Test Temperature Selection Temperatures of 90C(194F), 80C (176F), and 70C (158F) have been utilized inprior testing of PE, see Note 4.Adjacent test temperatures shallbe separated by at least 18F (10C). Other test temperaturesmay be used, but the maximum test temperature shall notexceed

41、95C (203F).NOTE 4Prior testing indicates that for the test temperatures stated in7.4.2, hoop stresses to yield oxidatively induced Stage II failures withinreasonable testing times are between 360 psi (2.48 MPa) and 480 psi (3.31MPa). For a SDR 9 tube, those hoop stresses correspond to test pressures

42、of 90 psig (620 kPa) to 120 psig (830 kPa). Target lower stresses to yieldStage III failures. If a selected test hoop stress produces Stage I or StageII failures, the stress will need to be reduced to produce all oxidativelyinduced Stage II or all Stage III failures at all temperatures.7.4.2.1 Relat

43、ionship of Internal Pressure to Hoop StressThe hoop stress in the pipe wall is calculated by the followingexpression, commonly known as the ISO equation:2S/P 5 DR 2 1 (1)or2S/P 5 Do/t! 2 1 (2)where:S = stress in the circumferential or hoop direction, psi(MPa),P = internal pressure, psig (kPa),t = mi

48、63 psig (620.69 kPa).9.1.4 Test Fluid Flow RateThe flow rate shall be selectedsuch that the average ORP of the test fluid exiting the testspecimens remains above 825 mV. The same nominal flow rateshall be used for all test specimens. Flow rate shall bemaintained 6 10% of the nominal flow rate.NOTE 5

49、It has been established that, for nominal size12 in. CTS SDR9 tubing, a minimum flow rate of 0.06 usgpm (0.23 LPM), and for 4 in.IPS pipe, a minimum flow rate of 0.125 usgpm (0.47 LPM), meets thisrequirement.NOTE 6The test flow rates are not intended to replicate applicationin-service flow rates. A continuous flow of test fluid is required toreplenish the chlorine consumed in the test. The flow rate is selected tomaintain the oxidative strength (ORP) of the fluid within specification.Different test configurations may require differe
