Ductile iron pipes, fittings and accessories - External polyethylene coating for pipes - Requirements and test methods
This European Standard defines the requirements and test methods applicable to factory applied extruded polyethylene coatings for the external corrosion protection of ductile iron pipes conforming to EN 545, EN 598 and EN 969 for use at operating temperatures up to 50 °C.
This European Standard does not cover ductile iron pipes protected with thin PE sleeve. Special works at site like drilling, tapping etc. may influence the corrosion protection properties. Those job steps shall be included in the instructions of pipe saddle and accessory manufacturers and all other essential installation instructions. These instructions are not part of this European Standard.
Rohre, Formstücke und Zubehörteile aus duktilem Gusseisen - Polyethylenumhüllung von Rohren - Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren
Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren fest für werksmäßig aufgebrachte extrudierte Polyethylenumhüllungen für den äußeren Korrosionsschutz von Rohren aus duktilem Gusseisen nach EN 545, EN 598 und EN 969 für die Verwendung bei Betriebstemperaturen bis 50 °C.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für Rohre aus duktilem Gusseisen, die mit einer dünnen PE-Schlauchfolie geschützt sind. Besondere Arbeiten an der Baustelle wie Anbohren, Setzen von Hausanschlussschellen usw. können die Korrosionsschutzeigenschaften der Polyethylenumhüllung beeinflussen. Diese Arbeitsschritte müssen in den Einbauanleitungen der Hersteller von Anbohrschellen und Hausanschlussformstücken und allen wesentlichen Arbeitsanweisungen enthalten sein. Diese Anweisungen sind nicht Bestandteil dieser Europäischen Norm.

La présente Norme européenne définit les exigences et les méthodes d’essai applicables aux revêtements en polyéthylène extrudés appliqués en usine pour protéger de la corrosion extérieure les tuyaux en fonte ductile conformes à l’EN 545, l’EN 598 et l’EN 969 et destinés à être utilisés à des températures de fonctionnement allant jusqu’à 50° C.
La présente Norme européenne ne traite pas des tuyaux en fonte ductile protégés par une manche en PE de faible épaisseur. Des travaux particuliers effectués à la pose, tels que perçage, taraudage, etc., peuvent avoir une incidence sur les propriétés de protection contre la corrosion. Ces étapes doivent figurer dans les instructions des fabricants de selles et d’accessoires de tuyaux ainsi que dans toutes les autres instructions d’installation indispensables. Ces instructions ne font pas partie de la présente Norme européenne.

The uncoated spigot length “a” depends on the type of joint. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to define the
appropriate uncoated length for each type of joint.
The front end of sockets may be uncoated on a length “b” depending on the application method (see Annex B):
