ASTM D1599-99

Standard Test Method for Resistance to Short-Time Hydraulic Failure Pressure of Plastic Pipe, Tubing, and Fittings

SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the hydraulic pressure that produces failure of either thermoplastic or reinforced thermosetting resin pipe, tubing, or fittings in a short time period.  
1.2 This test method is suitable for establishing laboratory testing requirements for quality control purposes or for procurement specifications.
1.3 The values given in parentheses are provided for information purposes only.  
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of whoever uses this standard to consult and establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.>
