18、 F412, and abbreviations are in accordance with Termi-nology D1600, unless otherwise specified.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 assemblythe joint between a fitting and a length ofpipe.3.2.2 PEX-AL-PEX pipecomposite pipe produced by co-extrusion or extrusion of layers of polye

19、thylene/aluminum/polyethylene bonded together with a melt adhesive and cross-linked by irradiation or chemical means in combination heatand moisture.3.2.3 pipe hoop stressfor simplicity the value of the hoopstress quoted assumes a homogeneous wall. Local values ofstress will vary with the different

20、layers (see 3.2.3.1).3.2.3.1 DiscussionThick walled plastic pipes producedfrom one material have hoop stresses that vary through thewall, and are usually described by the Lame Theory. Thecomposite nature of the PEX-AL-PEX pipe, composed ofmaterials with very different Youngs Modulus values, will, on

21、pressurization, not have a uniform stress distribution throughthe thickness of the wall of the pipe. The PEX-AL-PEX pipeshave a hoop stress distribution that differs substantially fromboth the thick and thin walled pipe cases.4. Pipe Classification4.1 Pipe DiameterThe PEX-AL-PEX pipes are classified

22、by the outside diameter.4.2 Pipe Dimension RatioThe concept of dimension ratiois not relevant to PEX-AL-PEX composite pipes, and cannotbe used to relate pressure rating with total wall thickness.5. Materials5.1 GeneralThe PEX-AL-PEX pipe is composed of onemetallic layer, two layers of polymeric adhe

23、sive, and twolayers of crosslinked polyethylene. For pipe made to thisspecification the constituent materials must meet the followingrequirements:5.2 AluminumThe aluminum shall have a thickness asspecified in Table 1. The material shall have minimum elon-gations and ultimate tensile strengths of 20

28、st methods in thisspecification cover PEX-AL-PEX pipes. Tests on the indi-vidual layers that comprise this composite pipe are outside thescope of this specification.

Test Methods D2765 defines gel content(see Note 2).NOTE 1The gel test is one of several methods capable of indicatingthe degree of crosslinking. The different methods for as

42、sessing degree ofcrosslinking do not necessarily agree, so conformity to this specificationrequires degree of crosslinking to be determined in accordance with 9.7only.7.
