This Malaysian Standard specifies requirements for materials, workmanship, dimensions and burst pressure for chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-C) Schedule 40 socket-type pipe fittings.
The products covered by this standard are intended for use with the distribution of pressurised liquids only, which are chemically compatible with the piping materials.
NOTES:
1. Due to inherent hazards associated with testing components and systems with compressed air or other compressed gases, some manufacturers do not allow pneumatic testing of their products. Consult with specific product/component manufacturers for their specific testing procedures prior to pneumatic testing.
2. Pressurised (compressed) air or other compressed gases contain large amounts of stored energy, which present serious safety hazards should a system fail for any reason.
