What is BS EN 14982 - ring stiffness of riser shafts about?
Thermoplastics are high strength, lightweight materials, have relatively low processing costs, and are relatively easy to manufacture with high volume and precision.
BS EN 14982 is a European Standard that discusses plastics piping and ducting systems.
BS EN 14982 specifies a test method for assessing the initial (short-term) tangential ring stiffness of riser shafts for thermoplastics inspection chambers or manholes.
Note: This is intended as a test of the structural integrity of riser shafts supporting product standards EN 13598-2 and prEN 15229.
Who is BS EN 14982 - ring stiffness of riser shafts for?
BS EN 14982 on ring stiffness of riser shafts for thermoplastics inspection chambers or manholes is useful for:
- Manufacturers of plastics piping and ducting systems
- Product design engineers
- Contractors
- Installers
- Civic authorities
- Certification bodies and advisors
- Administration and services
- Testing laboratories
- The plastics / thermoplastics industry
Why should you use BS EN 14982 - ring stiffness of riser shafts?
Inspection chambers and manholes are required for maintenance of the sewer system and are placed at a junction where several pipes are connected.
BS EN 14982 provides guidance on testing by providing you with details such as apparatus, test pieces, procedure, and also the calculation.
BS EN 14982 walks you through the process of determining the resistance of riser shafts to vertical deformation.
The guidelines in BS EN 14982 help you to ensure that materials used for riser shafts are up to code and function well in the long run.
