32、 in accordance with 9.4.7.2.4 LengthThe pipe shall be supplied in any lengthagreeable to both the owner and the manufacturer. Length shallnot be less than 99 % of stated quantity when measured inaccordance with 9.5.7.2.5 PerforationsPerforations shall be cleanly cut, placedin the valley of the corru

33、gation rib, and uniformly spaced alongthe length and circumference of the pipe. Pipe connected bybell and spigot joints shall not be perforated in the area of thebells and spigots. Perforations shall be placed in the top 120of the pipe.NOTE 2For heap leach aeration pipe systems, the perforation open

34、area will vary throughout the pipe run to achieve even distribution of theair through the heap leach pile. Some non-perforated pipe is required aspart of the air distribution manifold system.7.2.6 Perforation coversPerforations must be protectedfrom plugging with ore by a cover or hat as shown in Fi

35、g. 2.This cover must permit air the be discharged through theopenings between the corrugation valleys and the cover (or“hat”). The covers are equal in thickness to the pipe couplings,are produced with resins compatible to the pipe, and welded atboth longitudinal ends to the corrugation crests by ext

36、rusionwelding. Perforation covers shall be clearly marked (color,large lettering, numbers) identifying the perforation patternunder it. Spacing of the perforations and covers are determinedby the design engineer (typical 2 meters apart).7.2.7 Crown MarkingThe perforated pipe shall have clearmarking,

37、 such as a stripe, colored spots, etc., identifying thepipe crown centered over the perforations.7.3 Pipe StiffnessThe pipe shall have a minimum pipestiffness at 5 % deflection for single wall and double wall asshown in Table 1, when tested in accordance with 9.7.7.4 BrittlenessPipe and fitting spec

38、imens shall be tested inaccordance with 9.8.FIG. 2 Perforation Location and CoversF2987 12 (2018)37.5 BondThe bond between layers of laminated pipe shallbe strong and uniform. There shall be no separation of layerswhen the pipe is deflected 20 %, in accordance with TestMethod D2412, nor shall it be

39、possible to separate the layerswith the point of a knife when the pipe is in the deflectedcondition.NOTE 3This test may be conducted as a continuation of pipe stiffnesstesting as specified in 9.7.7.6 Fitting Requirements:7.6.1 The fittings shall not reduce or impair the overallintegrity or function

40、of the pipe line.NOTE 4Common corrugated fittings include in-line joint fittings, suchas tees, Ys, reducers, couplers, elbows, and end caps. These fittings areinstalled internally or externally by various methods, such as snap-on,V-insertion, screw-on, or wrap around.NOTE 5Some corrugated fittings w

41、ill not fit all pipe. Only fittingssupplied or recommended by the pipe manufacturer should be used.7.6.2 Joints made with couplers, installed in accordancewith the manufacturers instructions. Pipe joints must bewatertight when tested in accordance with SpecificationD3212.7.6.3 Fitting specimens shal

42、l not crack or split when testedin accordance with 9.8.8. Sampling and Retest8.1 SamplingSamples of pipe and fittings sufficient todetermine conformance with this specification shall be taken atrandom from stock or from the project site by the testingagency. Samples shall be representative of the pr

43、oduct typeunder consideration. A minimum of one sample of sufficientsize to conduct all tests as required in this standard shall betaken for every 1000 meters of pipe length supplied on aproject.8.2 Retest and RejectionIf any test failure occurs, the pipeor fitting may be retested to establish confo

44、rmity. The test shallbe repeated on two additional samples from the same lot orshipment. If either of these two additional samples fail, the pipeor fitting does not comply with this specification.9. Test Methods9.1 Conditioning Test SpecimensCondition the specimenprior to test at 23 + 2 C (73.4 6 3.

45、6 F) and 50 6 5 % relativehumidity for not less than 40 h prior to the test, in accordancewith Procedure A in Practice D618 for those tests whereconditioning is required, unless otherwise specified.9.2 Test ConditionsConduct tests in laboratory atmo-sphere of 23 6 2 C (73.4 6 3.6 F) and 50 6 5 % rel

46、ativehumidity, unless otherwise specified.9.3 Inside DiameterMeasure the inside diameter of three300-mm (1 ft) specimens, with any suitable device accurate to0.8 mm (6132 in.), at two positions, namely, the block seamand 90 from the block seams, and average the six measure-ments.9.4 Minimum Crown an

47、d Liner Wall ThicknessMeasurethe thickness of the crown, valley and liner (when applicable)wall thickness in accordance with Test Method D2122. Eachspecimen shall be cut perpendicular to the seam line of the pipedirectly through a corrugation allowing a plain view of theinner wall 360 degrees around

48、 the circumference in order toobtain a minimum of eight measurements in accordance withTest Method D2122. As an alternative to Test Method D2122,minimum liner thickness is allowed to be determined with theuse of a calibrated ultrasonic thickness gauge.NOTE 6Test Method D2122 also permits the use of

49、alternate mea-surement methods such as ultrasonic gauges.9.5 LengthMeasure pipe with any suitable device accurateto1mmin3m(6132 in. in 10 ft). Make all measurements onthe pipe while it is resting on a relatively flat surface, in astraight line, with no external tensile or compressive forcesexerted on the pipe.9.6 PerforationsMeasure dimensions of perforations on astraight specimen without external forces applied. Linearmeasurements shall be made with an instrument with calibra-tion increments of 0.25 mm (0.01 in.).9.7 Pipe StiffnessSele
