5.5 Lubricants and/or greases
Lubricants and/or greases may be used to assist in joint assembly. The fitting manufacturer shall provide evidence that the lubricant and/or grease shall not have a deleterious effect on the performance ofthe component parts ofthe fittinglikely to be in contact or ofthe connecting piping system.
NOTE Requirements for GAS can be found in EN 377.
6 General characteristics
6.1 Appearance
When viewed without magnification, the internal and external surfaces of fittings shall be smooth, clean and shall have no scoring, cavities and other surface defects to an extent that would prevent conformity to this document.
No component of the fitting shall show any signs of damage, scratches, pitting, bubbles, blisters, inclusions or cracks to an extent that would prevent conformity of the fittings to the requirements of this document.
6.2 Colour
The colour shall conform to the requirements given in the relevant product standards.
For W applications, plastic body material other than black shall be tested in accordance with ISO 7686
the percentage oflight which passes through the wall ofthe fitting shall be less than or equal to 0,2 %.
6.3 Weathering protection
The fitting parts, which are exposed to and affected by weathering, shall be protected against weathering.
6.4 Threads
joints made pressure-tight by the mating of the threads shall conform to ISO 7-1 and fastening pipe threads to ISO 228-1.
NOTE ifan International Standard with the same content as ISO 7-1 exists, e.g. EN 10226-1 and EN 10226-2. conformance may alternatively be considered as acceptable.
6.5 Transition fittings to metal pipes
Where a fitting is connected to a metal pipe, the joint shall fulfil at least the performance requirements of the plastic pipe systems. The fitting part connected to the metal pipe shall fulfil the dimensional requirements of the corresponding metal product standards.
6.6 Combined fittings
Socket fusion ends, spigot ends, electrofusion sockets or others, when included in mechanical fittings, shall conform to the relevant product standards.
6.7 Twisting
The fitting shall not induce twisting of pipes during assembly.
7 Geometrical characteristics
The mechanical fittings shall be manufactured with such dimensions and within such tolerances as will permit their use with pipes conforming to the corresponding product standard.
Stiffeners are recommended for thin wall pipes (e.g. polyethylene pipes) for GAS applications. If stiffeners are used, they shall conform with Annex B.
In order to avoid excessive pressure losses in straight-line fittings, any internal support used in internal/external grip fittings should cause minimal narrowing of the internal cross-section of the fitting. The minimal internal bore diameter shall be stated by the manufacturer in their technical file.
8 Physical characteristics
8.1 Evaluation of the MRS value of the plastic material
For plastic materials intended to be pressure-bearing and subject to continuous stress, either in hoop or tension, determine the a LPL value in accordance with ISO 9080. Data provided by the compound manufacturer maybe taken into account. Classify the material (MRS) in accordance with ISO 12162.
NOTE Plastic materials used to manufacture screw caps, clamping rings and supporting rings do not need to be classified.
8.2 Verification of long-term behaviour of the plastic material
The long-term behaviour of the plastic material of the fitting body shall be verified by a type test either on an injection-moulded pipe or an extruded pipe specimen with an outside diameter, in accordance with the material application, not less than 32 mm, produced in accordance with ISO 1167-2 from the same material as that of the fitting body. In case of dispute, an injection-moulded pipe specimen shall be used. The test pressure for the plastic sample is given in Formula (1):
pr is the test pressure of the sample (bar);
PN is the nominal pressure of the fitting (bar);
is the test stress of the fitting material (MPa);
Cmin is the minimum value of the design coefficient of the fitting material (-).
The test parameters given in Annex C shall be followed, using the test procedure given in ISO 1167-1. No failure shall occur during the test. Data provided by the compound manufacturer may be taken into account.
8.3 Specific material related characteristics of fitting materials
Table 5 shows the minimum characteristics of the fitting materials to be tested. The detailed requirements for parts given in Annex D shall apply.BS ISO 17885 pdf download.
