Test Methods8.1 GeneralUnless otherwise stated, test each size offitting. If the fitting end design is

39、 the same for elbows, tees,caps and transition fittings, one such design need only beevaluated, with preference to straight connectors.8.2 ConditioningCondition test specimens at 73.4 63.6F (23 6 2C) for not less than 40 h for specimens 7 mm orunder in thickness and not less than 88 h for specimens

40、over 7mm prior to test in accordance with Practice D618, for thosetests where conditioning is required.8.3 Test ConditionsConduct the tests in the standardlaboratory atmosphere of 73.4 6 3.6F (23 6 2C), unlessotherwise specified in the test methods or in this specification.8.4 Oxidative Stability in

41、 Potable Chlorinated WaterApplicationsThe test shall be conducted in accordance withthe test conditions in Sections 6 through 12 of Test MethodF2023.8.4.1 ProcedureSelect at least six fittings from randomlyselected specimens and assemble each fitting per the fittingmanufacturers written installation

42、 instructions with a mini-mum of 6 in. length of PEX tubing between fittings. Testingshall be performed with12 in. straight connectors.8.4.1.1 Test each assembly at 239F (115C) and 60 psig(4.14 bar).8.4.1.2 Test the assemblies for 3000 h. If the PEX tubingfails outside the area of the tube gripper p

43、rior to 3000 h, replacethe PEX tubing specimen and continue testing of the assembly.Any loss of fluid from the wetted component(s) or failure of thePEX tubing at the tube gripper constitutes a failure. Failure ofnon-wetted components of the fitting does not constitute afailure of the test. The faile

44、d component shall be replaced andthe test continued.8.4.1.3 Once each assembly has reached 3000 h, test thefitting at 73F and 180F in accordance with Test MethodD1599, Procedure B and the Hydrostatic Burst Requirementsof Specification F877. Three fittings shall be tested at eachtemperature. Testing

45、shall be performed with untested PEXtubing. The tested assemblies shall meet the minimum hydro-static burst requirements of Specification F877.8.5 DensityDetermine the density of the fitting PEXcompound in accordance with Test Method D1505 or TestMethod D792. Sample from the fitting wall without rem

46、olding.Perform the test in triplicate from a single fitting.8.6 Degree of CrosslinkingPlace a fitting sample in alathe with automatic feeding. Shave a strip that consists of thefull wall thickness. The strip thickness shall be approximately0.004 in. (0.1 mm) which is obtained by setting the lathefee

47、ding accordingly. Test the specimens in accordance withTest Methods D2765 Method B, with the only deviation: testspecimen preparation. For the purpose of this specification,degree of crosslinking (V) is defined as 100 % minus extractpercent equals V. Perform the test in duplicate from a singlefittin

48、g.NOTE 2This method provides a test method for measuring theaverage degree of crosslinking over the fitting wall thickness. That,however, does not mean that the degree of crosslinking is allowed to varyoutside the limits for the grade in question at any part of the fitting. In caseof disagreement, s

49、trips of the same thickness, 0.004 in. (0.1 mm), can betaken in tangential, axial, or radial direction at any angle section or wallthickness depth, or both, etc. to measure the degree of crosslinking.8.7 Water-hammerSelect one randomly selected fittingand assemble per the fitting manufacturers written installationinstructions with lengths of PEX tubing a minimum of 12 in.long.8.7.1 Hydrostatically pressurize the fitting assembly to 15 65 psig (1.03 6 0.34 bar).8.7.2 Increase the pressure in the system within 0.01 60.005 seconds
