ISO 13478:2007 Thermoplastics pipes for the conveyance of fluids - Determination of resistance to rapid crack propagation (RCP) - Full-scale test (FST)

ISO 13478:2007
Scope
This International Standard specifies a full-scale test (FST) method for determining the arrest or propagation
of a crack initiated in a thermoplastics pipe at a specified temperature and internal pressure. The method is
also suitable for the determination of defined critical pressure, critical stress and critical temperature
parameters.
It is applicable to the assessment of the performance of thermoplastics pipes intended for the supply of gases
or liquids. In the latter case, air could also be present in the pipe.
