17、T) Committee.1generated from the fitting manufacturers own production, maybe used by the same manufacturer, as long as the fittingsproduced conform to the requirements of this specification.4.3 Heating MechanismThe heat mechanism shall be ofmaterials not detrimental to the performance of the fitting

18、 orthe pipe to which it is intended to be joined.5. Performance Requirements5.1 The following requirements are for electrofusion jointsthat have been joined using the manufacturers recommendedjoining procedures. These requirements must be met by eachelectrofusion joint design, on each size and type

19、of pipematerial for which the manufacturer recommends use of theirfitting. Any revisions to the electrofusion joint design orprocessing by the manufacturer after the initial testing requiresretesting to ensure these requirements can still be met. Fittingsintended for use in the distribution of natur

20、al gas or liquidpetroleum gas shall also meet the requirements of SpecificationF2785.5.1.1 It is not required that each configuration of a fitting betested to meet all of these qualifications (that is, 2 in. mainsaddle joint with multiple outlet configurations offered) as longas the electrofusion jo

21、int design is not altered in the configu-ration differences.NOTE 1It is permissible when accomplishing these tests, to do so onthe highest and lowest dimension ratio of the same pipe material. If inthose tests all performance requirements are met, all dimension ratiosbetween those tested may be cons

22、idered as having met the requirements.These tests do not have to cover the full range of dimension ratiosavailable, only the dimension ratio range on which the manufacturerrecommends his fitting be used.5.2 Pressure Requirements:5.2.1 Minimum Hydraulic Burst PressureThe minimumhydraulic burst pressu

23、re of the test specimen shall not be lessthan that required to produce 3900psi (26.9MPa) fiber stress inthe pipe being used in the test when tested in accordance with9.1. The test equipment, procedures, and failures definitionsshall be as specified in Test Method D1599.5.2.2 Sustained PressureThe fi

24、tting and fused joint shallnot fail when tested in accordance with 9.2.5.3 Tensile Strength Requirements (Coupling Type JointsOnly)The fitting or the pipe to fitting joint made on pipe shallnot fail when tested in accordance with 9.3. Specimens shall besubjected to a tensile stress that causes the p

25、ipe to yield orcauses the pipe to break outside the joint area. Tensile testsmust be made on specimens as joined, not on straps cut fromthe specimen. Yielding must be measured only in the pipe,independent of the fitting or joint.5.4 Impact Resistance (Saddle Type Joints Only)The jointmade on the spe

26、cimen shall not fail when impacted with a forcesufficient to break the body or other portion of the specimen.Tests of 500 ft-lb or higher impact with no failures noted shallbe considered as a “pass” impact test. The device for testingand the methods shall be as defined in Practice F905.5.5 Joint Int

27、egrity Tests(Couplings and Saddle TypeJoints)The joint made on the specimen shall meet therequirements in 9.4 and 9.5 of this specification, when tested inaccordance with 9.4.6. Dimensions, Mass, and Permissible Variations6.1 Dimension shall be measured using Test Method D2122.Dimensions and toleran

28、ces of electrofusion fittings must besuch that heat fusion is possible to outside diameter (OD)controlled PA-12 pipes such as those listed in SpecificationF2785, such that the joints will satisfy the performancerequirements in Section 5.NOTE 2Because of the varying designs for electrofusion fittings

29、, theactual spread of dimensions may be quite different from manufacturer tomanufacturer. A table of dimensions and tolerances encompassing thesedifferences would be meaningless and without value and, therefore, isomitted from this specification.6.2 The manufacturer shall furnish to the user the ele

30、ctricalresistance, critical dimensions, and tolerances of his fittings.This information must include at least the following dimen-sions and tolerances:6.2.1 Coupling inside diameter,6.2.2 Temperature joining limits, and6.2.3 Operating pressure of the fitting.NOTE 3There are other items that fall bey

31、ond the scope of thisspecification which would be of interest to the user for proper applicationof the fittings and is recommended as additional information to befurnished. A few of these are: (1) maximum pipe out of round allowed atjoint area; (2) minimum/maximum pipe SDR capability of the fitting,

32、 and(3) for saddles intended for use on a live main, the maximum allowableline pressure when making the joint.7. Workmanship, Finish and Appearance7.1 The manufacture of these fittings shall be in accordancewith good commercial practice so as to produce fittingsmeeting the requirements of this speci

33、fication.7.2 The fittings shall be homogeneous throughout, exceptwhere a heating coil or electrical connectors are incorporated,and free of cracks, holes, foreign inclusions, or injuriousdefects such as gouges, dents, cuts, etc. The fittings shall be asuniform as commercially practicable in opacity,

34、 density, andother physical properties. Any heating coils, connecting cables,connectors, and related electrical power source shall be de-signed to prevent electrical shock to the user.8. Specimen Preparation8.1 Conditioning:8.1.1 Unless otherwise specified, condition the specimens(pipe and fittings)

35、 prior to joining at the minimum pipetemperature allowable for fusion as recommended by themanufacturer, for not less than 16 h and make the fusion jointat that temperature for those tests where conditioning isrequired.8.1.2 Unless otherwise specified, condition the specimens(pipe and fittings) prio

36、r to joining at the maximum pipetemperature allowable for fusion as recommended by themanufacturer, for not less than 16 h and make the fusion jointat that temperature for those tests where conditioning isrequired.8.1.3 Unless otherwise specified, condition the fittings priorto joining at ambient te

37、mperature and the pipe at the minimumtemperature allowable for fusion as recommended by theF2767 182manufacturer, for not less than 16 h and make the fusion jointat the minimum pipe temperature for those tests where condi-tioning is required8.2 Test ConditionsConduct the tests at the StandardLaborat

38、ory Temperature of 23 6 2 C (73.4 6 3.6 F) unlessotherwise specified.8.3 Preparation of Specimens for Testing:8.3.1 Prepare test specimens so that the minimum length ofunreinforced pipe on one side of any fitting is equal to threetimes the diameter of the pipe, but in no case less than 12 in.(304 mm

39、). It is permissible to test multiple fittings togetherprovided they are separated by a minimum distance equal tothree times the diameter of the pipe, but in no case less than 12in. (304 mm).8.3.2 Fuse all fitting outlets with the appropriate size pipein accordance with the manufacturers recommended

40、 proce-dures.8.3.3 All saddle fusion joint specimens conditioned as in8.1.2 and destined for quick burst testing as in 9.1 andsustained pressure testing as in 9.2, are to be joined with thepipe at no less than maximum allowable operating pressure ofthe pipe system or fitting, whichever is lowest, wh

Saddlejoint specimens destined for mechanical/destructive type testssuch as impact as in 5.4 or crush tests

42、 as in 9.4, or specimensconditioned for cold temperature joining as in 8.1.1, may bemade on unpressured pipe specimens.9. Test Methods9.1 Minimum Hydraulic Burst Pressure Test:9.1.1 Select four fittings at random and prepare specimensin accordance with Section 8. From the four specimens,condition tw

43、o specimens each in accordance with 8.1.1 and8.1.2.9.1.2 Test the specimens in accordance with Test MethodD1599.9.1.3 Failure of the fitting or joint shall constitute specimenfailure.9.1.4 Failure of any one of the four specimens shall consti-tute failure of the test. Failure of one of the four spec

44、imenstested is cause for retest of four additional specimens, joined atthe failed specimens joining temperature. Failure of any ofthese four additional specimens constitutes a failure of the test.9.2 Sustained Pressure Test:9.2.1 Select four fittings at random and prepare specimensin accordance with

45、 Section 8 of this specification. From thefour specimens, condition two specimens each in accordancewith 8.1.1 and 8.1.2.9.2.2 Test the specimens in accordance with Test MethodD1598. All tests shall be conducted at 80 6 2 C. Theassemblies are to be subjected to pipe fiber stresses of 1850 psi(12.8 M

46、Pa) for 170 h. Joint specimens shall not fail withinthese time periods. Any failures within these time periods mustbe of the pipe, independent of the fitting or joint and must beof a “brittle” type pipe failure, not “ductile.” If ductile pipefailures occur, reduce the pressure of the test and repeat

47、 until170-h results or pipe brittle failures are achieved.9.2.3 Failure of the fitting or joint shall constitute specimenfailure.9.2.4 Failure of one of the four specimens tested is cause forretest of four additional specimens, joined at the failed-specimens-joining temperature. Failure of any of th

48、ese fouradditional specimens shall constitute a failure of the test.9.3 Tensile Strength Test:9.3.1 Select four fittings at random and prepare specimensin accordance with Section 8.
