Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method consists of exposing

19、 specimens ofextruded, molded, or otherwise manufactured pipe or compo-nents (such as fittings, valves, assemblies, etc.) to a constantinternal pressure by a flowing test fluid of controlled tempera-ture and composition, while in a controlled external environ-ment. Time-to-failure and specimen surfa

20、ce temperatureshould be measured during exposure under the test conditions.Unless otherwise specified the internal fluid shall be water andthe external environment will be air.5. Significance and Use5.1 The data obtained by this test method are useful forestablishing pressure, or hoop stress where a

21、pplicable, versusfailure-time relationships, under independently controlled in-ternal and external environments that simulate actual antici-pated product end-use conditions, from which the design basis(DB) for piping products or materials, or both, can be deter-mined. (Refer to Test Method D2837 and

22、 Practice D2992, andAppendix X1 of this test method.)NOTE 3Reference to design basis (DB) in this test method refers tothe hydrostatic design basis (HDB) for material in straight hollowcylindrical shapes where hoop stress can be easily calculated, or is basedon applied pressure design basis (PDB) fo

23、r complex-shaped products orsystems where complex stress fields seriously prohibit the use of hoopstress.5.2 In order to characterize plastics as piping products, it isnecessary to establish the stress-to-rupture-time, or pressure-to-rupture-time relationships over two or more logarithmicdecades of

24、time (hours) within controlled environmental pa-rameters. Because of the nature of the test and specimensemployed, no single line can adequately represent the data.Therefore, the confidence limits should be established.5.3 Results obtained at one set of environmental conditionsshould not be used for

25、 other conditions, except that highertemperature data can be used for a design basis assignment forlower application temperatures, provided that it can be dem-onstrated that the application conditions present a less stringentenvironment. The design basis should be determined for eachspecific plastic

26、 material and each different set of environmentalconstraints. Design and processing can significantly affect thelong-term performance of piping products, and thereforeshould be taken into consideration during any evaluation (seeAppendix X2).5.4 Specimens used must be representative of the pipingprod

27、uct or material under evaluation (see Appendix X2).6.
