When tested according to 5.4.2.2 the maximum total carbon level on internal surfaces shall not exceed
2
1,0 mg/dm .
4.4.2.2 Resistance to dezincification
This requirement only applies where a fitting is declared to be resistant to dezincification.
The resistance to dezincification of alloy fittings can be obtained by the correct material selection and
processing of that material.
Alloys containing 15 % or less zinc provide a good resistance to dezincification and do not need to be
tested.
Representative material samples, prior to machining, shall be tested. When tested according to 5.4.2.3,
the mean and maximum depth of dezincification in any direction shall be expressed in µm and shall
meet the acceptance criteria listed below for resistance to dezincification:
— for grade A: maximum 200 µm;
— for grade B: mean not to exceed 200 µm and maximum not to exceed 400 µm.
If any of the test pieces do not meet the criteria for the chosen grade, a second lot of test samples from
the same batch shall be selected and the test repeated. If any of the second lot of test pieces fails, then
the batch represented shall be deemed not to conform to the requirements of this document.
If the user needs to heat a dezincification resistant alloy fitting to a temperature exceeding 550 °C for
example for brazing, advice should be sought from the manufacturer.
4.5 Dimensional tolerances of diameters to achieve reliable capillary flow
In order to achieve the capillary flow of a solder or brazing alloy when making a connection, the
