4 Ordering information The following information shall be supplied by the purchaser to the manufacturer. Ductile iron pipes according to EN 545, EN 598 or EN 969 but internally lined in accordance with this document shall be specified in the purchaser’s enquiry and order by reference to this standard, e.g.
— 5 000 m of ductile iron pipe DN 300 according to EN 545, internal TMPO‑lining according to EN 15655‑2; or
— further information about use and handling, if needed. General information on handling, transportation and storage to prevent damage to the TMPO lining is given in Annex C.
5 Technical requirements
5.1 Surface preparation Surface preparation shall be designed in order to reach the required performances specified in this document. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to demonstrate the fitness for purpose of surface preparation technology and to put in place a quality control procedure to ensure the stability of those performances (see 7.1.2).
5.2 Finished TMPO lining
5.2.1 Appearance and continuity The TMPO lining shall be checked in accordance with 7.1.3 and be of: — uniform colour, except the spigot end and the internal socket profile which may be of a different colour and/or different lining material;
— uniform appearance and smoothness except for admissible repairs;
— free of visible defects (pinholes, bubbles, blisters, wrinkles, cracks or voids). Slight superficial variations of colour or brilliance due to repairs or prolonged exposure to sunlight or contact with other pipes are permissible.
5.2.2 Minimum lining thickness When measured in accordance with the method defined in 7.1.4, except on designated zones, the localized minimum thickness shall be greater than 300 μm and the minimum average thickness shall be equal to or greater than 350 μm. For designated zones (see 3.12), localized minimum thickness of 200 μm is permissible.
5.3 Non-porosity When tested in accordance with the test method described in 7.1.8 with a voltage of 1 500 V, the lined body of the component shall be free from porosity i.e. no electrical puncture shall occur. For potable water applications only, one electrical puncture per square meter is accepted. In designated zones, electrical punctures are permitted. Test frequency, see Table A.2. NOTE Small oxide skin dust surface inclusions can generate electrical puncture by crossing the lining. These inclusions are generally isolated in a sound lining. These kind inclusions will not be source of corrosion. By statistical analysis of the occurring electrical punctures, the manufacturer demonstrates the puncture is associated to skin inclusions.
5.4 Pipe ends Spigot end and internal socket profile (see Figure 1) should be coated with one of the following:
— TMPO in accordance with this document;
— epoxy lining in accordance with EN 14901‑1;
— zinc or zinc alloy with finishing layer according to EN 545, EN 598 and EN 969, whichever standard is applicable;
— zinc‑rich paint and epoxy. NOTE Pipe ends are usually specified as designated zones. The manufacturer shall ensure that the joint can be assembled and the lining complies with the intended field of use. The lining thickness shall be checked according to 7.1.5. 5.5 Repairs The repair shall be checked according to 7.1.6. In case of holidays or damage, repairs shall be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s written instructions. Repairs shall fulfill the technical requirements of this document. Fresh surfaces of pipes cut on site shall be protected by appropriate coating material according to the manufacturer’s written instructions.
5.6 Marking All pipes shall be marked legibly and durably according to the pipe standard EN 545, EN 598 or EN 969.BS EN 15655 pdf download.
