scope:

This standard specifies methods of test for cemented-socket-and spigot joints for plastics piping systems of glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics (GRP) for pressure and non-pressure applications. Is only applicable to the joint and covers methods of test to prove its design. The tests detailed in 6.1 to 6.3 inclusive are applicable to cemented socket-and spignot joints for pipes and fittings of all nominal sizes. All tests given in this standard are applicable for evaluating joints intended for applications conveying liquids at temperatures up to and including 50 °C and may be applicable to joints for use at higher temperatures.
