What is ISO 19892 - Resistance test of joints for thermoplastics piping systems about?
ISO 19892 is the international standard on plastic piping systems that discusses an assembly of pipes and fittings that is subjected to water pressure cycling between two positive pressure limits, maintained at a specified temperature and inspected for leakage.
ISO 19892 specifies a method for testing the resistance of joints to pressure cycling.
NOTE: ISO 19892 is applicable to piping systems based on thermoplastic pipes intended to be used in hot and cold-water applications.
Who is ISO 19892 - Resistance test of joints for thermoplastics piping systems for?
ISO 19892 on plastics piping systems is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of pipeline components and pipelines
- Manufacturers and suppliers of plastics
- Personnel of water supply systems
- Manufacturers of thermoplastic polymers
Why should you use ISO 19892 - Resistance test of joints for thermoplastics piping systems?
A plastic pipe is a tubular section, or hollow cylinder, made of plastic used mainly to convey substances that can flow—liquids and gases (fluids).
ISO 19892 provides the apparatus requirements and an assembly of pipes and fittings capable of measuring the water pressure and temperature.
ISO 19892 specifies the preparation of test pieces, the number and conditioning of pipes and fittings to check leakage and resistance of joints to pressure cycling.
ISO 19892 guides you through the test procedure and report on the measured pressure, temperature, and test time of plastics piping systems for hot and cold water.
Furthermore, ISO 19892 allows you to manufacture and test plastic pipes ensuring leakages and resistance of joints to pressure cycling for flexible and reliable use in the commercial and industrial sector. In this way, you will achieve higher efficiency, high test reliability and long-life performance of plastic pipes ensuring resistance to corrosion, chemicals and microbial attacks hence cheaper to install and maintain.
