1、Designation: F 905 04An American National StandardStandard Practice forQualification of Polyethylene Saddle-Fused Joints1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 905; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the

2、 year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice describes test criteria suitable for qualifi-cation of polyethylene saddle-fused joints. These

3、 tests may beconducted by suppliers or users to qualify saddle-fused jointsin accordance with the requirements found in the Departmentof Transportation (DOT) Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)Title 49, Part 192.283.

11、he requirements of Speci-fication D 2513.4.2 The outlet portion of a saddle fitting shall conform toSpecification D 2683 for socket-fusion outlets or SpecificationD 3261 for butt-fusion outlets.4.3 The radius of the saddle portion of the fitting shall fit thepipe size to which it is intended to be j

12、oined. The surfacecontact area of the saddle portion of the fitting and thethickness of saddle portion shall be sufficient to meet thequalification requirements of this practice.4.4 Qualification tests shall be conducted on all saddlefittings with different base areas. Only the largest outletdiamete

13、r shall be tested per fitting type if base areas are thesame.5. Procedure5.1 General:1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on PlasticPiping Systems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F17.60 on Gas.Current edition approved Sept. 1, 2004. Published September 2004

16、le fitting fused to a polyethylene pipe that has a maximumpressure rating equal to or greater than that for which the gasdistribution system is designed.NOTE 1It is recommended that the Generic Saddle Fusion JoiningProcedure, developed by PPI (TR-41/2002), be used for selected polyeth-ylene gas pipi

17、ng products. While other joining procedures can also beused, the use of this PPI procedure is intended to help DOT expedite thequalification of gas pipeline operators and add some uniformity to theindustry.5.1.2 Allow the saddle-fused joint to cool to room tempera-ture prior to testing.5.1.3 For eac

18、h qualification test, tap the polyethylene pipewith the largest size hole used in the gas distribution system forthat fitting.5.1.4 Quantity of specimens to be tested in each testdescribed in this practice has been omitted due to the variedgoals of users of these tests. When these tests are utilized

19、 forqualification of a joining procedure (Part 192.283), a minimumof six specimens should be evaluated with each test type used.For qualification of a joiner (Part 192.285), a minimum of onespecimen should be evaluated for each test type used. Forqualification of the joint design by the manufacturer

20、, as manytests as are needed may be run, but not less than six of each testtype.5.2 Sustained Pressure Test:5.2.1 The minimum length of unreinforced pipe on bothsides of any saddle fitting shall be equal to three times thediameter of the pipe, but in no case less than 12 in. (305 mm).Test multiple s

21、addle fittings, if desired, on the same pipespecimen as long as they are separated by at least three pipediameters. Make all saddle-fused joints with the pipe at themaximum allowable operating pressure of the gas distributionsystem. If tubing intended to be fused to the outlet of the saddlefitting h

22、as a higher SDR than the pipe, cap the saddle fittingoutlet and do not use the tubing.5.2.2 Test specimens for 1000 h using the equipment,procedures, and failure definition as specified in Test MethodD 1598 at 23C (73F). Hold systems having a hydrostaticdesign basis of 1250 psi (8.6 MPa) at a hoop s

23、tress of 1320 psi(9.1 MPa) based on the actual pipe dimensions. Hold systemshaving a hydrostatic design basis of 1600 psi (11.0 MPa) at ahoop stress of 1600 psi (11.0 MPa) based on the actual pipedimensions.5.3 Impact Resistance Test:5.3.1 Center and fuse the saddle fitting on a piece ofunreinforced

24、 pipe that has a minimum length on both sides ofany saddle fitting equal to three times the diameter of the pipe,but in no case less than 12 in. (305 mm).5.3.1.1 Firmly secure the pipe so that movement does notoccur during impact. Suggested methods of securing the pipeare shown in Fig. 1. Other meth

25、ods for securing the pipe mayalso be used.5.3.2 Drop a weight in a vertical free-fall from a height of atleast 10 in. (250 mm). Position the weight so that it strikes thestack of the saddle fitting 2 in. (50 mm) from the pipe. For largediameter saddle fittings, that is, 3-in. (76-mm) outlet or great

26、er,socket or butt fuse a nipple (whose length is five times theoutside diameter) to the outlet and position the weight so thatit strikes the center of the nipple. Adjust the drop height orweight, or both, until failure occurs in the specimen by eithertearing out the pipe wall, tearing the fitting, o

27、r bending thenipple at least 45 from the horizontal axis. Conduct impactevaluations on large diameter saddle fittings in two ways: (1)with the pipe parallel (axial) to the vertical path of the fallingweight; and (2) with the pipe perpendicular (radial) to the pathof the falling weight. The fused joi

28、nt made between the pipeand saddle fitting shall not fail when impacted with a forcesufficient to break the body or other portion of the specimens.Tests of 500 ftlbf or higher impact with no failures shall beconsidered as “pass.”NOTE 2Specimens that appear to fail at the joint may actually beFIG. 1

Qualification Requirements6.1 Qualification requirements are outlined in DOT CFRTitle 49, Part 192.283.7. Precision and Bias7.1 The impact test

30、 described in this practice is a nonstand-ard test. Reproducibility between test laboratories is notrequired because the end result of this test is qualitative (that is,a type of failure mode), not quantitative. A precision and biasstatement is, therefore, not required for this nonstandard test.8. K
