PLASTICS PIPING SYSTEMS - INJECTION-MOULDED SOCKET FITTINGS FOR SOLVENT-CEMENTED JOINTS FOR PRESSURE PIPING - TEST METHOD FOR RESISTANCE TO A SHORT-TERM INTERNAL HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE
This Malaysian Standard specifies a method for testing the resistance to internal hydrostatic pressure at 20°C of injection-moulded thermoplastics fittings for connecting, by means of solvent cementing, to pressure pipes of the same type of material, having a nominal diameter, dn, less than or equal to 315 mm. This method is intended for testing fittings over a period of the order of 1 h to 10 hat a pressure which is material-dependent and typically several times higher than the nominal pressure of the fitting.
