This document specifies procedures suitable for the analysis of data which, when converted into logarithms of the values, have either a normal or a skewed distribution. It is intended for use with test methods and referring standards for glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics (GRP) pipes or fittings for the analysis of properties as a function of time. However, it can also be used for the analysis of other data. Two methods are specified, which are used depending on the nature of the data. Extrapolation using these techniques typically extends a trend from data gathered over a period of approximately 10 000 h to a prediction of the property at 50 years, which is the typical maximum extrapolation time. This document only addresses the analysis of data. The test procedures for collecting the data, the number of samples required and the time period over which data are collected are covered by the referring standards and/or test methods. Clause 6 discusses how the data analysis methods are applied to product testing and design.

This document describes phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) of polyethylene electrofusion (EF) socket joints used for the conveyance of fluids. This document provides a test whereby the presence of imperfections such as voids, wire dislocation, misalignment, pipe under-penetration, particulate contamination and lack of fusion in electrofusion socket joints can be detected. The technique is only applicable to polyethylene electrofusion socket fittings without a barrier to ultrasonic waves. This document also provides requirements for procedure qualification and guidance for personnel qualifications, which are essential for the application of this test technique. This document covers the test equipment, the preparation and performance of the test, the assessment of indications and the reporting for polyethylene EF joints. Acceptance criteria are not covered in this document. NOTE 1 At the time of publication, experience only exists in the use of PAUT for polyethylene (PE80 and PE100) electrofusion socket joint sizes between 90 mm and 710 mm (SDR 11 and 17).[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] NOTE 2 Interlaboratory testing has shown that PAUT is a viable method for enhancing the integrity assessment of electrofusion joints.[8][15][16] NOTE 3 This document does not apply to the detection of unscraped pipe. Such detection can be achieved by simple visual testing, provided mechanical scraping tools are employed. NOTE 4 PAUT techniques for cold fusion detection are known to be available. However further research verification and experience are needed to transfer the technique into an ISO International Standard. This document does not provide any information regarding the detection of cold fusions.

This document specifies methods for determining the ring creep properties for glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics (GRP) pipes. Properties include the creep factor and the long-term specific creep stiffness. Testing is performed under either wet (total immersion in water) or dry conditions.
Dry creep testing is typically performed for the assessment and control of raw material consistency. Wet creep testing is typically undertaken to determine the long-term creep performance in simulated use conditions.

This document specifies two test methods (method A and method B) for determining the longitudinal tensile properties of glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics (GRP) pipes. The properties which can be determined are: — the longitudinal tensile strength, and — the percentage ultimate elongation. Method A uses, for the test piece(s), a longitudinal strip cut from a pipe. Method B uses a specified length of the full cross-section of the pipe. Method A is applicable to pipes with a nominal size of DN 50 or greater with circumferentially-wound filaments, with or without chopped glass and/or woven rovings and/or fillers, and to centrifugally-cast pipes. It is applicable to pipes with helically wound filaments with a nominal size of DN 200 or greater. Method B is applicable to all types of GRP pipe. It is usually used for pipes with a nominal size up to and including DN 150. Results from one method are not necessarily equal to the results derived from any of the alternative methods. However, all methods have equal validity. Annex A describes additional considerations for method B that have been found useful for the testing of thin-walled helically-wound pipes and can be used to supplement the basic text. NOTE This document does not address the determination of longitudinal tensile modulus. Due to the multi-layer construction of many GRP pipes, the accurate measurement of strain, necessary for modulus determination, can be very difficult. If it is desired to determine longitudinal modulus, see ISO 527-4 and/or ISO 527-5.

This document specifies two general test methods, Method A and Method B, to be used for the determination of the impact properties of unnotched and notched specimens cut from thermoplastics pipes for the transport of fluids. — Method A: unnotched method, for unnotched specimens cut from thermoplastics pipes for the transport of fluids. — Method B: notched method, for specimens cut from thermoplastics pipes for the transport of fluids, into which a notch has been machined. The use of Method A or Method B is determined by the relevant product standards. This document is not intended as a reference test method for the determination of the impact strength of pipes. ISO 3127, relating to the determination of the impact strength of pipes by means of a falling mass, is the reference test method. However, this document can be used for scientific research, materials testing or the examination of pipe when it is not possible to take measurements in accordance with the reference method. This document can be applied to either isolated batches or continuous production of pipe.

This document gives the definitions and specifies the minimum requirements for injection moulded and thermoformed thermoplastics corrugated arch-shaped chambers, including integral components, used in underground systems for retention, detention, transportation and storage of non-potable water (e.g. storm water) and manufactured from polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP). These chambers are intended for buried underground use in one horizontal layer, e.g. in landscape, pedestrian or vehicular traffic areas. In the case of retention and detention systems, the main purpose of the chambers is to retain water, for later infiltration in the ground or for later use in non-potable applications (irrigation, cleaning, sanitary facilities, etc.) or to detain water during a storm, transferring it in a controlled way to the public storm water network. Applications include commercial, residential, agricultural and highway drainage, including installation under parking lots and roadways. Product performance is determined by a combination of material specification, product design and manufacturing process. These chambers are intended to be used as elements in a modular system where the manufacturer has provided a clearly documented method specifying how the components are assembled to create a complete retention, detention, storage or transportation system.
