This document specifies a test method for determining the compressive creep behaviour of boxes made of thermoplastic materials intended for use in a modular system for non-pressure underground conveyance and storage of surface water.

 

This document specifies a test method for determining the long-term compression strength for a specified period on boxes made of thermoplastics materials for non-pressure underground conveyance and storage of non-potable water. The document is applicable for boxes which maintain their linear behaviour over the specified period.

 

This document gives the definitions and specifies the minimum requirements for injection moulded, extruded and thermoformed thermoplastics cuboid shaped boxes, including integral components, used in underground systems for infiltration, attenuation and storage of surface water (e.g. storm water) and manufactured from polypropylene (PP) or unplasticized polyvinylchloride (PVC-U). Product properties are determined by a combination of material specifications, design and manufacturing process. These boxes are intended for buried underground use, e.g. in landscape, pedestrian or vehicular traffic areas. A box can either be factory assembled, or site assembled from different components. These boxes are intended to be used as elements in a modular system where the manufacturer states in the documentation how the components are assembled to create a complete infiltration, attenuation or storage system. NOTE Non load bearing component(s) can be manufactured by various methods e.g. extrusion, injection moulding, rotational moulding, thermoforming and low-pressure injection moulding.

 

This document specifies definitions and requirements for solid-wall pipes with or without internal skin and smooth internal and external surfaces extruded from the same compound throughout the wall, fittings and the system of polyethylene (PE) piping systems to be intended for use in non-pressure underground drains and sewers for wastewater. NOTE 1 Products complying with this document can also be used in non-pressure underground drains and sewers for surface water. This document is applicable to: a) non-pressure drains and sewers, which are intended to be used buried underground outside the building structure; reflected in the marking of products by “U”; b) non-pressure drains and sewers, which are intended to be used buried underground both outside (application area code “U”) and within the building structure, reflected in the marking of products by “UD”. This document specifies test methods referred to in this document and test parameters. This document is applicable to pipes and fittings with or without an integral socket. This document covers a range of pipe and fitting sizes, stiffness classes, tolerance classes and gives recommendations concerning colours. NOTE 2 It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to make the appropriate selections from these aspects, taking into account their particular requirements and any relevant national regulations and installation practices or codes. In conjunction with CEN/TS 12666-2 [1] it is applicable to PE pipes and fittings, their joints and to joints with components of other plastics and non-plastics materials intended to be used for buried piping systems for non-pressure drains and sewers. The fittings can be manufactured by injection moulding or can be fabricated from pipes and/or mouldings. This document is applicable to PE pipes and fittings for the following types of joints: — elastomeric ring seal joints; — butt fused joints; — electrofusion joints; — mechanical joints. NOTE 3 Pipes, fittings and other components conforming to any of the plastics product standards listed in the Annex D (informative) can be used with pipes and fittings conforming to this document, provided they conform to the requirements for joint dimensions given in Clause 7 and to the requirements of Clause 7 and Table 13.

 

This document specifies test methods for the determination of the carbon black content of polyolefin compositions used for the manufacture of pipes and fittings. This document applies equally to the material for manufacture and to any material taken from a pipe or fitting.

 

This document specifies a test method to determine if a fitting will fail in crushing mode under compression before a predefined percentage deformation of moulded fittings for thermoplastics piping systems and recommends a specification (see annex A). It applies to fittings made from unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), high-impact poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-HI), chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC-C), polyethylene(PE), polypropylene(PP), Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), Poly (vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF),and poly(phenyl sulfone)(PPSU). It can be applied to moulded fittings made from other thermoplastics as well. However, the test conditions should be taken into consideration.

 

In general terms, Miner’s rule is a common approach to calculate how the accumulation of a specific load that varies over time effects the time until failure. This international standard specifies the application of Miner’s rule for calculating the design time until failure of plastics pipes and piping systems of plastics materials under varying, but known, load conditions. Miner’s rule can also be applied reciprocally to calculate the tolerable load levels along a desired design time. This international standard specifies particularly the application of Miner’s rule to calculate stress or pressure regimes, respectively, that are tolerable during a targeted design time for plastics or composite pipes. Further, the application of Miner’s rule on the effect of accumulated damage on polyolefins caused by oxidative attack under varying temperatures and times on the design life is specified. It is necessary to apply Miner's rule to each failure mechanism separately. Thus, for mechanical failure due to internal pressure, other failure mechanisms, such as oxidative or dehydrochlorinative degradative failure mechanisms, are to be neglected (assuming, of course, no interaction). A material may be used only when it is proven to conform to all failure mechanism criteria. NOTE Miner's rule is an empirically based procedure and is only a first approximation to reality.

 

This document compiles a vocabulary of terms, with their definitions, applied in the field of district heating and district cooling systems.

 

This document specifies the characteristics of valves made from polyethylene (PE) for piping systems in the field of the supply of gaseous fuels. NOTE 1 For the purpose of this document the term gaseous fuels include for example natural gas, methane, butane, propane, hydrogen, manufactured gas, biogas, and mixtures of these gases. It is applicable to unidirectional and bi-directional isolating valves with spigot ends or electrofusion sockets intended to be fused with PE pipes or fittings conforming to ISO/DIS 4437-2 and ISO/DIS 4437-3 respectively. Valves made from materials other than PE, designed for the supply of gaseous fuels conforming to the relevant standards can be used in PE piping systems according to ISO 4437 series, provided that they have PE connections for butt fusion or electrofusion ends, including integrated material transition joints, conforming to ISO/DIS 4437-3. It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to in this document. In conjunction with parts 1, 2, 3 and 5 of the ISO/DIS 4437 series, it is applicable to PE valves, their joints and to joints with components of PE and other materials intended to be used under the following conditions: a) a maximum operating pressure, MOP, up to and including 10 bar11 1 bar = 0,1 MPa =105 Pa; 1 MPa = 1 N/mm2. at a reference temperature of 20 °C for design purposes; b) an operating temperature between -20 °C to 40 °C. ISO/DIS 4437 (all parts) covers a range of maximum operating pressures and gives requirements concerning colours. It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to make the appropriate selections from these aspects, taking into account their particular requirements and any relevant national regulations and installation practices or codes. This document covers valve bodies designed for connection with pipes with a nominal outside diameter dn = 400 mm.

 

This document specifies the minimum values for expected strength as a function of time and temperature in the form of reference lines, for use in calculations on crosslinked polyethylene (PE-X) pipes and crosslinked medium density polyethylene (PE-MDX) pipes. NOTE 1 This document is applicable for pipes with the minimum level of crosslinking after production in accordance with Clause 4. NOTE 2 The density range for medium density polyethylene is 926 kg/m3 to 940 kg/m3 in accordance with ISO 17855-1:2014[7].
