(Practice)Standard Practice for Estimating the Quality of Extruded Poly (Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) Pipe by the Heat Reversion Technique
Standard Practice for Estimating the Quality of Extruded Poly (Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) Pipe by the Heat Reversion Technique
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
This practice is applicable to distinguish between properly and improperly extruded PVC plastic pipe. It can be used to:
Reveal incomplete exsiccation of compound before or during extrusion (Note 1),
Determine the presence of stress in the pipe wall produced by the extrusion process (Note 2),
Determine whether infused areas are present, and
Reveal contamination.
Note 1—Residual moisture in the compound vaporizes at extrusion temperatures and is normally evacuated as it forms vapor. Pockets of moisture trapped in the pipe wall result from incomplete exsiccation of the compound, and may reduce the physical properties of the pipe.
Note 2—Minor residual stress in the pipe will not impair field performance and handleability. High-residual stress has no proven effect on performance, but may impair handleability during installation.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers a procedure for estimating the quality of extruded poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) plastic pipes by observing the reaction of pipe specimens after exposure to hot air in the oven at 180 ± 5°C for 30 min duration.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

specimen to be tested the test temperature is regained within 15 min or less. , thermostatically controlled, capable of operating at
180 6 5°C (356 6 9°F) and capable of meeting the recovery requirement of 4.3.Additionally, the oven must have heat generation
(power) capacity such that the recovery achieved while at a constant oven set point. The air temperature with the oven (that is,
the test temperature) is to be monitored within 3 in. from the outer edge of the test specimen; make assurances that the temperature
does not contact the test specimen.
NOTE 3—The oven should be vented to the outside of the building.
NOTE 4—Monitoring of the test temperature within the oven may require a secondary temperature monitoring device in addition to the temperature
monitoring device within the oven control system.
4. Procedure
4.1 Prepare specimens of pipe 150 mm (6 in.) long or longer with ends cut square so that they stand perpendicular on end when
placed in the oven.
4.1.1 Cut staves from pipes whose size prevents insertion of full round specimens in the oven. Prepare large-diameter pipe
staves so that their lengths parallel to the pipe axis are 150 mm (6 in.) or longer.
4.2 Examine the specimens and note any unusual features such as discoloration, inclusions, or pinholes in the cut edge.
4.3 Place the specimens of whole pipe in the preheated oven so that each specimen stands on end with sufficient separation
between them so that hot air can flow freely between the pipes. Place specimens of pipe staves on the floor of the preheated oven
so that they rest on their longitudinal edges and so that hot air can flow freely around them. Record the time when the air in the
oven directly adjacent to the test specimen recovers to 180°C (356°F). Recovery must occur within 15 min or less. After an
