This document specifies the requirements for solid wall pipes with smooth internal and external surfaces, extruded from the same formulation throughout the wall, fittings and the system of unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) piping systems intended for soil and waste discharge applications (low and high temperature):
-   inside buildings (application area code "B");
-   for both inside buildings and buried in ground within the building structure (application area code "BD").

This part of ISO 6259 specifies a method of determining the tensile properties of pipes made of unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), oriented unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-O), chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-C) and high-impact poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-HI), and in particular the following properties:
— the stress at yield;
— the stress and the elongation at break.

This document specifies the characteristics of pipes (mains, sub-mains and laterals) made from polyethylene (PE), intended for the conveyance of water for irrigation, at a water temperature up to 45 °C. NOTE 1 For the effect of water temperature on the maximum operating pressure, see Annex A. This document applies to pipes that will not be subjected to internal pressure for long periods, and not more than 1 500 hours/year. For piping applications with long-term continuous pressure, the ISO 4427 ...view more

This document specifies a test method for determining the leaktightness of elastomeric sealing ring type joints for buried thermoplastics non-pressure piping systems. Unless otherwise specified in the referring standard, the tests are carried out at the following basic test pressures: — p1: internal negative air pressure (partial vacuum); — p2: a low internal hydrostatic pressure; — p3: a higher internal hydrostatic pressure. It also describes the following four test conditions under which the t...view more

This document specifies six test methods for the determination of the initial circumferential tensile wall strength per unit of length of glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics (GRP) pipes. NOTE Another commonly used term for "circumferential tensile strength" is "hoop tensile strength" and the two expressions can be used interchangeably. The burst test (method A) is suitable for all types and sizes of pipes. It is considered the reference method. However, all the methods in this document have ...view more
