(1.78 mm) it shall be arbitrarily increased to 0.070in. except for sizes 516 in. and smaller, as specified in Table 1. The SD

See Fig. 1.3.2.7.1 DiscussionThe first digit is for chlorine resistance tested in accordance with Test Method F2023.(1) A digit “0” indicates that the PEX tubing either has not been tested for chlorine resistance or that the PEX tubing does notmeet the mini

For PEXtubing with the first digit of the material designation code equal to 1, 3, or 5 the second digit shall be one of the classification digitslisted in Table 2 for the Nominal Exposure Time Period from Table 1 in Test Method F2657 where the decreased average failuretime from 10

For PEX tubing with the first digit of the material designationcode equal to 0, the second digit shall be one of the classification digits from Table 2 for the Nominal Exposure Time Period fromTable 1 of Test Method F2657 where the UV-exposed sam

Thus, this value represents the limit for statistical differentiation in failure times using TestMethod F2023 at the 95% con
