What is BS EN 14814 - Adhesives used in thermoplastic piping systems about ?
BS EN 14814 is an international standard used for adhesives used for thermoplastic piping systems. BS EN 14814 specifies the requirements and test methods for adhesives used for joining the components of unplasticized poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-C), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and styrene copolymer blends (PVC+SAN) thermoplastic piping systems for fluids under pressure, independent of the application area.
Who is BS EN 14814 - Adhesives used in thermoplastic piping systems for ?
BS EN 14814 on Adhesives for thermoplastic piping systems is useful for:
- Chemical industries
- Constructor of buildings
- Oil and gas refineries
- Manufacturers of pipes
Why should you use BS EN 14814 - Adhesives used in thermoplastic piping systems ?
Adhesives are also known as glue or cement. These adhesives are non-metallic substances applied to one or both surfaces of two separate items that bind them together and resist their separation.
By using BS EN 14814 you can determine the product characteristics of these adhesives used in thermoplastic piping systems and evaluate their performance.
The verification process outlined in BS EN 14814 helps in identifying the dangerous substances contained in adhesives. This results in ensuring the safety of your environment. BS EN 14814 guidelines can help the life of the adhesive and ensure thermoplastic piping systems remains unaffected with exposure to different climatic conditions. By applying BS EN 14814 guidelines, you can manufacture good quality adhesives used for thermoplastic piping systems which helps in transporting fluids from one place to another.
