CSA Group Plastics pipes and fittings - Preparation of polyethylene (PE) pipe/pipe or pipe/fitting test piece assemblies by butt fusion ISO 11414:2009

ISO 11414:2009 specifies a method for preparing butt-fusion-jointed test piece assemblies between polyethylene (PE) pipes and spigot-ended fittings. ISO 11414:2009 specifies the assembly parameters involved, such as the ambient temperature, joint geometry and fusion parameters, taking into account the service condition limits specified in the relevant product standards, as well as the type of pipe to be used. ISO 11414:2009 is intended to enable the effect of site assembly variables on joint performance to be determined. The fusion-jointing procedures and parameters used in the field can differ from those in ISO 11414:2009, depending on the manufacturer's written procedures and/or local standards.
