10、ummary of Test Method4.1 This test method consists of a description of the groovedtensile test specimen and its use in various environments toobtain the long-term strength capacity for piping materials.Such a controlled environment may be accomplished by, but isnot limited to, immersing the specimen

11、s in a controlled-temperature water bath or circulating-air oven.5. Significance and Use5.1 The data obtained by this test method are useful forestablishing stress versus failure-time relationships in a con-trolled environment. The long-term strength (LTS) is deter-mined primarily for materials used

12、 in molding applications.The LTS categorized in accordance with Table 1 of ASTMD2837 is known as the SDB (strength design basis).NOTE 1These SDB values will be published in PPI TR-4 for materialsused in molding applications only.5.2 The test method can also be used on an experimentalbasis for pipe-g

17、ng applications, it is necessary to establish the stress-failuretime relationships over four or more decades of time (hours) ina controlled environment. Because of the nature of the test andspecimens employed, no single line can adequately representthe data, and therefore the confidence limits shoul

18、d be estab-lished.NOTE 2Some materials may exhibit a nonlinear relationship betweenlog-stress and log-failure time, usually at short failure-times. In suchcases, the 105- hour stress value computed on the basis of short-term testdata may be significantly different than the value obtained when adistr

19、ibution of data points in accordance with Test Method D2837 isevaluated. However, these data may still be useful for quality control orother applications, provided correlation with long-term data has beenestablished.6. Apparatus6.1 Constant-Temperature SystemA reservoir capable ofmaintaining a fluid

20、 bath at a uniform temperature shall be used.If water or other liquid medium is used, agitation is permittedto stabilize the temperature throughout the fluid bath. If an airor other gaseous environment is used, provision shall be madefor adequate circulation. The test may be conducted at 23C(73F) or

21、 other selected temperatures as required and thetemperature tolerance requirements shall be 6 2C (6 3.6F).A typical test setup is shown in Fig. 1.6.2 Loading SystemAny device that is capable of continu-ously applying constant load on the specimen may be used.The device shall be capable of reaching t

22、he test load withoutexceeding it and of holding it within the tolerances shown in6.5 for the duration of the test. A typical loading system isshown in Fig. 2, which utilizes a pressurized cylinder to applyload to the specimen. Other creep load frames can be used,such as those described in Test Metho

23、ds D2990 for tensilecreep. The loading system shall be checked with a load cell thathas a calibration certificate traceable to National Institute forStandards and Technology (NIST).6.3 Load or Pressure GageAload gage or, for use with anair cylinder, a pressure gage that meets the tolerance require-m

24、ents in 6.5 is required.6.4 Timing DeviceThe timing device shall be capable ofmeasuring the time-to-failure with sufficient accuracy to meetthe requirements listed in 6.5.6.5 Time and Force ToleranceWhen added together, thetolerance for the timing device and the tolerance for the forcemeasuring devi

25、ce shall not exceed 6 2%.7. Test Specimen7.1 Test Specimen DimensionsThe shape of the test speci-men is shown in Fig. 3. A round groove is produced along thefull width of the specimen on both sides. The opposing groovesshould be parallel and centered in the specimen to within60.127 mm (0.005 in.). A

26、 specimen that has been used success-fully for polyethylene is shown in Fig. 3. The critical dimen-sions of this specimen are shown below in Table 1.7.1.1 The reduced thickness in the groove shall be measuredat three locations, the center of the groove, and at the edges ofthe specimen. All three mea

27、surements must conform to thedimensions specified in Table 1.7.2 MeasurementsDimensions shall be determined in ac-cordance with Test Method D4703.7.3 Specimen FabricationPlane-strain specimens may befabricated from plaques of materials which are injection-molded, extruded, or compression-molded (for

28、 example, inaccordance with Practice D4703 for compression molding ofpolyethylene). The specimens machined from these plaquesshall be free of voids. Test plaques may also be formed byflattening thick-wall pipe sections. All specimens used for aFIG. 1 Schematic Diagram of Typical Experimental SetupF2

29、018 00 (2010)2particular data set must be prepared in the same manner, that is,all compression-molded or all injection-molded using the samegate configuration.7.3.1 MachiningThe compression-molded or injection-molded sample can be machined to size by milling, and theedges should be smooth and free f

30、rom burrs. The groove shallbe machined in such a way that the groove surface will besmooth, minimizing any machining marks on the groovesurface.A3.175 mm (0.125 in.) radius, 4-flute ball end mill hasbeen used successfully for machining the grooves. Appropriatefixturing is necessary to ensure that th

31、e grooves on both sidesof the specimen coincide with one another. In all machiningoperations, care shall be taken to minimize any heating of thesample.7.3.2 Injection-MoldingSamples may be injection-molded to the appropriate dimensions. In this case the grooveswould be molded-in, as opposed to above

32、, where the sample ismachined from an injection-molded plaque. All specimens in atest lot must be prepared the same way, whether withmolded-in grooves or machined grooves. The location of thegate can affect the material orientation in the sample and thussignificantly affect the results of the testin

33、g.NOTE 3Use of an injection-molded sample may allow study of knitlines and other variables important for pipe fitting applications.8.

38、.9.3 Record the time-to-failure of each specimen. The time-to-failure shall not include periods of time during which thespecimen was under no load. Failure occurs when the twohalves of the specimen separate completely or extension of thegroove section causes the timer to be shut off (approximately12
