Причина отмены This practice describes a procedure for the determination of the temperature history of above-ground plastic gas pressure pipe encased in a metallic casing. Such temperature changes may be due to ambient air temperature, or solar exposure, or both.

Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee F17 on Plastic Piping Systems, this practice was withdrawn in November 2017. This standard is being withdrawn without replacement due to its limited use by industry.

Значение и использование

This practice provides a procedure for determining the temperature history of plastic gas pressure pipe encased in metallic casings.

The data obtained are indicative of the temperature attainable within a service riser of a specific design and size in a given geographical location under the climatogical conditions in existence during the test period.

The data obtained can be used within the constraints of 4.2 to design the maximum allowable operating pressures permitted by existing codes.
