4、, chlo-rinated water. This test method outlines the requirements of apressurized flow-through test system, typical test pressures,test-fluid characteristics, failure type, and data analysis.NOTE 1Other known disinfecting systems (chlorine dioxide, ozone,and chloramines) are also used for protection

5、of potable water. Free-chlorine is the most common disinfectant in use today. A PPI researchproject examined the relative aggressiveness of free chlorine and chloram-ines on PEX pipes, both at the same 4.0 ppm concentration and the sametest temperatures. The results of the testing showed pipe failur

6、e timesapproximately 40% longer when tested with chloramines compared totesting with free chlorine, at the tested conditions. Based on these results,the data suggests that chloramines are less aggressive than free chlorine toPEX pipes.1.2 Guidelines and requirements for test temperatures, testhoop s

7、tresses, and other test criteria have been established byprior testing of PEX tubing produced by the three mostcommon commercial methods of cross-linking: silane, perox-ide, and electron-beam (see Note 2). Other related systemcomponents that typically appear in a PEX hot-and-cold waterdistribution s

8、ystem can be evaluated with the PEX tubing.When testing PEX tubing and fittings as a system, it isrecommended that the anticipated end-use fitting type(s) andmaterial(s) be included in the test circuit since it is known thatsome fitting types and materials can impact failure times.Specimens used sha

The

The performance of a material or piping productunder actual

31、conditions of installation and use is dependentupon a number of factors including installation methods, usepatterns, water quality, nature and magnitude of localizedstresses, and other variables of an actual, operating hot-and-cold water distribution system that are not addressed in this testmethod.

Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units7.1 SamplingSelect at random, a sufficient amount oftubing to satisfy the specimen requirements of this test method.When testing as a system, randomly

39、select a sufficient quantityof fittings.7.2 Test Specimen SizeThe PEX tubing specimens shallbe 12 to 18 in. (300 to 460 mm) in length between fittingclosures or between fitting joints.7.2.1 Dimensions MeasurementMeasure and record thecritical dimensions for tubing and fittings. For tubing, measureth

40、e average outside diameter and wall-thickness in accordancewith Test Method D2122. For fittings, measure those dimen-sions critical to the function of the joint, as well as minimumbody wall thickness.7.3 Testing as a SystemWhen testing PEX tubing andrelated system components (such as fittings) as a

41、system, theother components shall be attached to the PEX tubing in thesame manner as in actual service. For fittings, the particularfitting style shall be installed in accordance with the manufac-turers instructions or theASTM specification when applicable.7.4 Minimum Required Test UnitsA minimum of

42、 six testunits is required. A test unit is comprised of two or moreindividual time-to-failure data points at the same temperatureand hoop stress condition. Statistical reliability of the analysisof the resultant data will be benefited by obtaining additionaldata points at each temperature/hoop stres

43、s condition.7.4.1 Test Unit DistributionTime-to-failure data pointsshall be obtained at 2 test hoop stresses at each of a minimumof 3 test temperatures for a minimum of 12 data points. As analternate, obtain time-to-failure data for the temperature/hoopstress combinations of the three-temperature ma

44、trix of PPITN-16, see Note 3. Hoop stresses shall be separated by a least80 psi (0.55 MPa).NOTE 3When using the PPI TN-16 matrix, Temperature T3, whichrequires testing at only one stress, refers to the lowest test temperature.7.4.2 Test Temperature SelectionTemperatures of 239F(115C), 221F (105C), a

45、nd 203F (95C) have been utilizedin prior testing of PEX, see Note 4. Adjacent test temperaturesshall be separated by at least 18F (10C). Other test tempera-tures may be used, but the maximum test temperature shall notexceed 239F (115C).NOTE 4Prior testing indicates that for the test temperatures sta

46、ted in7.4.2, hoop stresses to yield Stage III failures within reasonable testingtimes are between 160 psi (1.10 MPa) and 400 psi (2.76 MPa). For a trueSDR9 tube, those hoop stresses correspond to test pressures of 40 psig(275.9 kPa) to 100 psig (689.7 kPa). If a selected test hoop stress producesSta

47、ge I or Stage II failures, the stress will need to be reduced to produceStage III failures at all temperatures.7.4.2.1 Relationship of Internal Pressure to Hoop StressThe hoop stress in the tubing wall is calculated by thefollowing expression, commonly known as the ISO equation:2S/P 5 DR 2 1 (1)or2S

48、/P 5 Do/t! 2 1 (2)where:S = stress in the circumferential or hoop direction, psi(MPa),P = internal pressure, psig (kPa),t = minimum wall thickness, in. (mm),DR = dimension ratio, DR, andDo= average outside diameter, in. (mm).8. Calibration and Standardization8.1 Measuring EquipmentAll measuring and
