ASTM D1599 - 14e1
Standard Test Method for Resistance to Short-Time Hydraulic Pressure of Plastic Pipe, Tubing, and Fittings.

This test method establishes the short-time hydraulic failure pressure of thermoplastic or reinforced thermosetting resin pipe, tubing, or fittings. Data obtained by this test method are of use only in predicting the behavior of pipe, tubing, and fittings under conditions of temperature, time, method of loading, and hoop stress similar to those used in the actual test. They are generally not indicative of the long-term strength of thermoplastic or reinforced thermosetting resin pipe, tubing, and fittings.

This test method covers the determination of the resistance of either thermoplastic or reinforced thermosetting resin pipe, tubing, or fittings to hydraulic pressure in a short time period. Procedure A is used to determine burst pressure of a specimen if the mode of failure is to be determined. Procedure B is used to determine that a specimen complies with a minimum burst requirement.

This test method is suitable for establishing laboratory testing requirements for quality control purposes or for procurement specifications.

UnitedTest supply the HYD series Pipeline hydrostatic pressure testing machine, according to ISO 1167, ASTM D1598, ASTM D1599. It’s mainly used to test the plastic pipeline, compound pipeline, such as PP-R, PP-B, PP-A, PVC, PE, PE-X etc. Under a stipulated constant hydrostatic pressure force, keeping provision time; or inside the pipe, apply a constant and rapid hydraulic pressure to make the specimen broken in a short period time, check the max. pressure force, then calculate the ring stress. This tester is necessary equipment for plastic pipe manufacturer.
