THERMOPLASTICS PIPES AND FITTINGS - VICAT SOFTENING TEMPERATURE – PART 2 : TEST CONDITIONS FOR UNPLASTICIZED POLY(VINYL CHLORIDE) (PVC-U) OR CHLORINATED POLY(VINYL CHLORIDE) (PVC-C) PIPES AND FITTINGS AND FOR HIGH IMPACT RESISTANCE POLY(VINYL CHLORIDE) (PVC-HI) PIPES (ISO 2507-2:1995, IDT)
This Malaysian Standard specifies the particular test conditions for determining the Vicat softening temperature (VST) of unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) or chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-C) pipes and fittings and of high impact resistance poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-H) pipes. lt also gives, for information, the corresponding basic specifications. NOTE 1: The general test method for determining the Vicat softening temperature of thermoplastics pipes and fittings is given in ISO 2507-1.
