Test method

Standard environment

If there is no special requirement, according to GB According to the provisions of 2918, the sample should be placed in an environment with a temperature of 23¡À2¡æ and a relative humidity of 45%~55% for at least 24 hours, and the test should be carried out in this environment.

Appearance inspection

Visually inspect the product from 300~500mm under natural light, and measure the length with a steel tape measure.

Dimension measurement

Use a vernier caliper with an accuracy of 0.02mm to measure the two perpendicular outer diameters of the same section, and take the arithmetic mean as the outer diameter of the section. The inner diameter is passed by the deadweight of a steel plug gauge. The plug gauge shape is shown in Figure 2 and the dimension table 4.

Flatness test

Take 3 specimens of 200mm in length. Before the test, use a vernier caliper with an accuracy of 0.02mm to measure the outer diameter of the specimen. Then place the specimen on the steel plane of the test device. At the same time, place a 50mm¡Á50mm¡Á50mm steel body in the middle of the specimen (see Figure 3). Apply pressure to the specimen at a uniform speed within 30s to reach the specified value of 450N. Keep it for 1min and read the data. Calculate the pipe diameter change rate according to (2) and take the arithmetic mean of the test results of the 3 specimens.

Where: ¦Å¡ª¡ªpipe diameter change rate, %;

D¡ª¡ªsample outer diameter before the test, mm;

D1¡ª¡ªminimum outer diameter of the same part of the specimen after the test, mm.

After the external pressure is eliminated for 1min, use a vernier caliper with an accuracy of 0.02mm to measure the minimum outer diameter of the same part. Calculate the pipe diameter elastic recovery change rate according to (3) and take the arithmetic mean of the test results of the 3 specimens.

Where: ¦Â¡ª¡ªelastic recovery change rate of pipe diameter, %;

D¡ª¡ªouter diameter of the sample before the test, mm;

D2¡ª¡ªminimum outer diameter of the same part of the sample after elastic recovery of the pipe diameter, mm.

Heat deformation test

Take 3 samples with a length of 12 times the outer diameter of the pipe, fix them on the device shown in Figure 4, place them at 60¡À2¡æ, keep them for 24 hours, and then use a steel plug gauge to inspect them. The shape of the plug gauge is shown in Figure 2, and the size is shown in Table 5. The plug gauge is qualified if it passes the deadweight test.

Normal temperature bending test

Take 3 specimens with a length of 12 times the outer diameter of the pipe. Bend the specimens left and right once as shown in Figure 5 and keep them for 5 minutes. Use the plug gauge specified in Article 5.5 for inspection. The plug gauge is qualified if it passes the deadweight test.

Low-temperature bending test

Place the qualified samples of the normal-temperature bending test at -15¡À2¡æ for 2h, and then test them according to the test method in Article 5.6. Each sample should be completed within 30s.

Low-temperature impact test

Take 12 samples of 200mm length, place them at 60¡À2¡æ for 240h, and then place them at -15¡À2¡æ for 2h. Take them out one by one and complete an impact within 10s according to the equipment shown in Figure 6. Lift the drop hammer and observe whether the sample has cracks. More than 9 of the 12 samples are qualified if they do not crack. The free-fall impact height is 150mm. The drop hammer mass is shown in Table 6.
