9、the flow ofgas through a pipe by the compressing action of a mechanical,hydraulic or pneumatic device. Squeeze-off may be used, asrecommended by the tool or pipe manufacturer, to reduce theflow of gas to an acceptable rate. Under certain conditionscomplete stoppage of flow may be obtained.4. Materia

10、ls and Manufacture4.1 Tools shall be manufactured from materials that havethe structural properties to meet the requirements of thisspecification.5. Other Requirements5.1 Force MechanismThe force mechanism (mechanical,hydraulic or pneumatic) shall provide a force of at least 1.25times the force requ

The most rigid pipe is a function of pipediameter, wall thickness, pipe material and temperature. Thetool manufacturer determines which pipe products his tool issuitable for. Power

13、 density, lowesttemperature) within the range of the tool.5.2.2 Prepare a pipe specimen from this pipe. The specimenlength shall be no less than five times the nominal outsidediameter of the pipe, but in no case less than 12 in. (305 mm).5.2.3 Insert the pipe specimen into the tool. Center thespecim

For each cycle, use a new unsqueezed area ofpipe, at least three pipe diameters from a previous squeeze.5.

18、3 Release ProtectionEach tool shall be built to preventunintentional release in the squeeze mode. A screw-feedmechanism used to apply force in some tools qualifies aspremature release protection if the force can only be removedby unscrewing the mechanism at the 1.25 3 P test load.5.4 Release RateFor

19、 pipe sizes greater than 1 in. (25 mm)IPS, it is recommended3the tool design provide a release rateof 0.5 in./min (12.7 mm/min) or less, as suggested in GuideF1041.5.5 Flow ControlSqueeze-off results in the reduction ofgas flow and in some cases the complete stoppage of gas flow.This specification d

20、oes not specify to what degree of gas flowcontrol is required for any set of squeeze-off conditions.Appendix X1 provides a procedure for evaluating flow control.Other procedures for flow control evaluation may also be used.5.6 GroundingSqueezing and releasing the squeeze ofplastic pipe containing fl

The tool shall include asuitable electrical grounding feature or recommendations forcontrolling electrostatic discharges.NOTE 1Static discharge through pipe wall may occur in some cases ifelectrostatic charges exceed the

22、dielectric strength. Some tool manufac-turers recommend checking the squeeze area for pinhole leaks by soaping.6. Dimensions Mass, and Permissible Variations6.1 Squeeze Bar ConfigurationThe squeeze bars shall beof a size and configuration that compresses the pipe walls toreduce the gas flow, but doe

23、s not damage the pipe. Squeezebars may be configured as round (circular), flat with roundededges, two round bars side by side or any other configurationthat can meet the requirements of this specification (see Fig. 1).For suggested3minimum squeeze bar radii areas, see Table 1.6.2 Over-Squeeze Protec

24、tionThe tool shall have mechani-cal stops to provide over-squeeze protection. These mechanicalstops shall prevent the squeeze bars from reaching a separation(minimum gap) less than 70 % times twice the maximum pipewall thickness as noted in Guide F1041:minimum gap 5 2!0.7! maximum wall thickness!Squ

25、eeze tools designed for more than one size pipe (outsidediameter and wall thickness) shall have adjustable stopsprovided to match the designated pipe sizes for that tool.6.3 Squeeze Bar Guide SpacingThe tool shall have suffi-cient squeeze bar length and spacing between the bar guides toallow the max

26、imum diameter pipe for that tool to be centeredbetween the guides and squeezed to the correct bar stopswithout the squeezed pipe touching the guides.7. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance7.1 The manufacture of these tools shall be in accordancewith good commercial practice to consistently produce to

27、olsthat meet the requirements of this specification.8. Sampling8.1 Use a separate sampling procedure for each differentstyle or size of tool. Select tools at random for testing. The pipeused to evaluate each tool shall be the same as pipe specifiedin 5.2.9. Inspection9.1 A quality control (QC) inspe

28、ction method shall beestablished that will ensure conformance to this specification.Deviations shall be agreed upon between the purchaser and thesupplier as part of the purchase contract.10.

PROCEDURE FOR EVALUATION OF TOOL FLOW CONTROL PERFORMANCEX1.1 Gas Flow Rate:X1.1.1 The gas flow rate through the squeeze-off area of thepipe specimen can be determined when tested as follows:X1.1.1.1 Prepare three randomly selected pipe specimens inaccordanc

35、e with Test Method D1598 except they will beunfilled.X1.1.1.2 Test the specimens in sequence using the toolbeing tested.X1.1.1.3 Set the test specimen in the test apparatus asshown in Fig. X1.1. Locate the tool at the mid-point of thespecimen. Close the squeeze bars to the recommended me-chanical st

36、ops. Wait at least 1 min per inch diameter of thespecimen. Adjust the pressure regulator to give an upstreampressure equal to the maximum line pressure that the tool isdesigned to squeeze-off, or to be the maximum pressure thatthe test pipe is rated for, whichever is less. Test pressures lessthan th

37、e maximum designed for may be used to establishspecific gas flow control rate information as required by the gaspressure pipe system owner, the pipe manufacturer, and thetool manufacturer. Place the rubber hose inside the invertedmeasuring flask and note the time in seconds to displace 60in.3(0.001

38、m3) of water. Calculate the gas flow rate. The gasflow rate can be calculated as follows:Q 5 125/twhere:Q = gas flow rate in cubic feet (meters) per hour, andt = time in seconds to displace 60 in.3(0.001 m3) of water.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights a
