BS EN ISO 3459:2022 Plastic piping systems. Mechanical joints between fittings and pressure pipes. Test method for leaktightness under negative pressure
1 Scope
This document specifies two methods of testing for checking the leaktightness of assembled
joints between mechanical fittings and plastic pressure pipes with diameters up to
and including 63 mm. The test applies regardless of the design and material of the
fitting used for jointing plastics pipe.
This test method is not applicable to fusion-welded joints.
