been prepared by Technical Committee PRI/61 and is the English language version of EN 712:1993 Thermoplastics piping systems — End-load bearing mechanical joints between pressure pipes and fittings — Test method for resistance to pull-out under constant longitudinal force, published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) It is incorporated into BS 2782 Methods of testing plastics — Part 11: Thermoplastics pipes, fittings and valves, as Method 1123H:1995 for association with related test methods for plastics materials and plastics piping components This test method has been prepared for reference by other standards under preparation by CEN for specification of plastics piping systems and components It has been implemented to enable experience of the method to be gained and for use for other fresh applications It is also for use for the revision or amendment of other national standards as practicable, but it should not be presumed to apply to any existing standard or specification which contains or makes reference to a different test method until that standard/specification has been amended or revised to make reference to this method and adjust any requirements as appropriate WARNING This British Standard, which is the English language version of EN 712:1993, does not necessarily detail all the precautions necessary to meet the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 Attention should be paid to any appropriate safety precautions and the method should be operated only by trained personnel A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, the EN title page, pages to and a back cover This standard has been updated (see copyright

(c) BSI EN 712:1993 Foreword This standard was prepared by CEN/TC 155, Plastics piping systems and ducting systems This standard is based on the International Standard ISO 3501:1976 Assembled joints between fittings and polyethylene (PE) pressure pipes — Test of resistance to pull-out, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) It is a modification of ISO 3501:1976 for reasons of applicability to other plastics materials and/or other test conditions and alignment with texts of other standards on test methods The modifications are: — no specific material is mentioned; — no diameter limit is given; — no material-dependent requirements are given; — editorial changes have been introduced The material-dependent parameters and/or performance requirements are incorporated in the system standard(s) concerned No existing European Standard is superseded by this standard This standard is one of a series of standards on test methods which support system standards for plastics piping systems and ducting systems This standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the Commission of the European Communities and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of the EC Directive(s) This standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the Commission of the European Communities and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of the EC Directive(s) This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by May 1994, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by May 1994 The standard was approved and, in accordance with the following CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom © BSI 10-1999 Licensed Copy: Institute Of Technology Tallaght, Institute of Technology, Sun Dec 24 04:30:32 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI EN 712:1993 Scope Procedure This standard specifies a method for checking the ability of assembled end-load bearing mechanical joints (excluding fusion-welded joints) between fittings and pressure pipes to withstand a longitudinal tensile force 5.1 Unless the pull-out force F, or its derivation is otherwise specified by the referring standard, from the dimensions of the pipe, calculate the area of the cross section of the pipe wall, and from this figure calculate the force, F, in newtons, necessary to produce a longitudinal stress of one and a half times the maximum permissible induced hoop stress, Bt, for the material from which the pipe is made, using the following equation: F = 1,5 Ï emBt(dn – em) Principle An assembled joint is subjected to a longitudinal tensile force calculated as a function of the pipe dimensions and the maximum permissible induced hoop stress of the relevant pipe NOTE It is assumed that the following test parameters are set by the standard making reference to this standard: a) the maximum permissible induced hoop stress (Bt (see 5.2) or, if applicable, the relevant basis for establishing the pull-out force F (see 5.1); b) the test temperature T (see 5.2) in degrees Celsius; c) the maximum diameter to which the test method is applicable and requirements set Apparatus 3.1 tensometer, capable of holding the test piece at a constant longitudinal stress or a device by which the calculated force (see clause 5) may be applied to the test piece by means of weights (see Figure 1) In the second case the test piece shall be suspended on a frame with a suitable stirrup at the lower end of the test piece to hold the weights Test piece The test piece shall consist of the fitting to be tested assembled with one or more pieces of pipe of the size and type for which the fitting is designed Each piece of pipe shall be at least 200 mm in length The assembly of the joint shall be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions Pipes and fittings to be assembled shall be at least 24 h old NOTE Certain materials, e.g polybutylene, may require longer periods before test © BSI 10-1999 where Bt dn em is the maximum permissible induced stress, in megapascals, for the relevant pipe, as specified in 5.2; is the nominal outside diameter of the pipe, expressed in millimetres; is the mean wall thickness calculated from six values comprising four positions equally spaced around the circumference of the pipe plus the maximum and the minimum wall thickness Secure the test piece in the apparatus Apply the calculated force, F, gradually over a period of 30 s Hold the test piece in constant tension and at the specified temperature for a period of at least h Inspect the joint(s) for and record any indications of loosening of the joint or partial or complete separation from the fitting by pull-out 5.2 Unless otherwise specified in the referring standard, Bt shall be the maximum permissible induced hoop stress when subjected to water under pressure at (20 ± 2) °C for 50 years Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) a reference to this standard and to the relevant referring standard; b) the identity of the components [fitting, pipe(s)] comprising the joint under test; c) the calculated force F in newtons; d) the test temperature T in degrees Celsius; e) the maximum permissible induced hoop stress, Bt; f) a report of separation of the pipe from the fitting by pull-out, if this occurred, or otherwise a declaration that the joint was not pulled out, together with a report of any signs of loosening of or leakage from the joint, if applicable; g) any factors which may have affected the results, such as any incidents or any operating details not specified in this standard; h) the date of test © BSI 10-1999 Licensed Copy: Institute Of Technology Tallaght, Institute of Technology, Sun Dec 24 04:30:32 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI
