Crystallisation A fter extrusion or moulding, PB undergoes a crystalline phase transition (usually called ageing) be fore it develops its final properties The minimum required transition time depends on temperature and product characteristics The same final material per formance is obtained once completion o f crystalline phase transition is achieved, irrespective o f transition conditions For quality control purposes, there fore, test specimens shall be taken immediately a fter processing and be conditioned in accordance with recommendations obtained from the compound supplier prior to testing The crystalline phase transition is dependent on time and temperature For guidance, a minimum time o f five days for PB-H and one day for PB-R should be allowed at 23 °C unless accelerated ageing is performed NOTE The crystalline phase transition can be considerably accelerated upon applying higher hydrostatic pressure of approx kbar to kbar Accelerated ageing at higher pressure can be accepted if test results can be proven reproducible and equal to those obtained at atmospheric pressure Because o f the slow crystallization, trans formation and shrinkage which takes places a fter PB-H and PB-R plastics are cooled from the melt, physical testing should be delayed a fter extrusion or moulding until this morphological transition is complete Reprocessable material The use of the manufacturer’s own reprocessable material obtained during the product and works testing of products conforming to this document is permitted in addition to the use of virgin material Reprocessable material obtained from external sources and recyclable material shall not be used System performance requirements Pipes forming to ISO 15876-2 and fittings forming to ISO 15876-3, or other types o f fittings used, when jointed together, shall be tested in accordance with ISO 15876-5 Pipes and fittings shall have the same application class for use as a system For combinations o f pipes and
