Description / Abstract:
This International Standard specifies the characteristics and
requirements for components such as pipes, fittings, and valves
made from one of the following materials intended to be used for
thermoplastics piping systems in the field of industrial
applications above and below ground:
— polybutene (PB);
— polyethylene (PE);
— polyethylene of raised temperature resistance (PE-RT);
— crosslinked polyethylene (PE-X);
— polypropylene (PP).
NOTE 1 Requirements for industrial valves are given in this
International Standard and/or in other standards. Valves are to be
used with components conforming to this International Standard
provided that they conform additionally to the relevant
requirements of this International Standard.
This International Standard is applicable to either PB, PE,
PE-RT, PE-X, or PP pipes, fittings, valves, and their joints and to
joints with components of other plastics and non-plastic materials,
depending on their suitability, intended to be used for the
conveyance of liquid and gaseous fluids as well as solid matter in
fluids for industrial applications such as the following:
— chemical plants;
— industrial sewerage engineering;
— power engineering (cooling and general purpose water);
— mining;
— electroplating and pickling plants;
— semiconductor industry;
— agricultural production plants;
— fire fighting;
— water treatment;
— geothermal.
NOTE 2 Where relevant, national regulations (e.g. water
treatment) are applicable.
Other application areas are permitted if the requirements of
this International Standard and/or applicable national requirements
are fulfilled.
National regulations in respect of fire behaviour and explosion
risk are applicable.
The components have to withstand the mechanical, thermal, and
chemical demands to be expected and have to be resistant to the
fluids to be conveyed.
Characteristics and requirements which are applicable for all
materials (PB, PE, PE-RT, PE-X, or PP) are covered by the relevant
clauses of this International Standard. Those characteristics and
requirements which are dependent on the material are given in the
relevant normative annex for each material (see Table 1).
Components conforming to any of the product standards listed in
the bibliography or with national standards, as applicable, may be
used with components conforming to this International Standard,
provided that they conform to the requirements for joint dimensions
and to the relevant requirements of this International Standard
