7.2.6 Stress relaxation in compression

The stress relaxation shall be determined by method A
of ISO 3384:1991 using the small cylindrical test piece
after applying mechanical and thermal conditioning.
Measurements shall be taken after 3 h, 1, 3, 7 days for
the 7 day test and after 3 h, 1, 3, 7, 30, 100 days for
the 100 days test. The best fit straight line shall be
determined by regression analysis using a logarithmic
time scale.
The 7 and 100 days requirements in Table 1 are those
derived from this straight line. The stress relaxation in
compression shall comply with the requirements given
in Table 1 at the following temperatures and times:
7 days at (23 2) 8C; and
100 days at (23 2) 8C.
The test temperature shall be maintained within the
specified tolerance during the whole period of the test
and verified by suitable recording equipment on a
continuous basis.
The 100 days test shall be considered as a type
approval test. The requirements in respect of stress
relaxation per logarithmic decade shall also be
regarded as a type approval requirement.
If a stress relaxation test in compression is impossible,
the stress relaxation shall be carried out in tension
according to annex A (normative) of EN 681-1:1996.
The requirements are the same as for stress relaxation
in compression.
NOTE It depends on the function of the seal in service whether
the test is carried out in compression or in tension.
The ozone resistance of vulcanized rubber sealing

elements which are attached to the pipe or fittings
shall comply with the requirements given in Table 1.
Rubber sealing elements which are protected and
packaged separately up to the time of installation shall

9.3 Buried pipes and fittings
If pipes and fittings are to be buried, additional
corrosion protection will be required. The requirements
for this additional corrosion protection result from the
foundation conditions to be expected and from the
locally valid regulations which have to be taken into
account. In Austria, for example, the local regulations
are standardized (see annex B (informative)).
EN 12068 shall be observed for organic coatings made
of tapes and shrinkable materials for the corrosion
protection of buried or immersed steel pipelines used
in conjunction with cathodic protection.

Annex A (informative)
Third party control
A.1 Method and frequency
Third party control is usually carried out on the
finished product twice a year in every production
plant. The tests to be carried out are listed in Tables
A.1 and A.2. They are carried out by a qualified
inspecting or quality control organization or, in the
case of an inspecting contract, by an accredited test
body.
Before the third party control can begin, the
independent third party carries out a complete type
test, corresponding to clauses 5 to 10 and establishes if
the pipes, fittings and seals meet the requirements of
this standard. If there are any changes to the design,
manufacturing method or material, the type test will be
repeated. The manufacturer should show the report to
the third party on demand. In the case of a continuous
process inspection, the scope and frequency can be
varied by agreement with the third party. After a
successful type test, the third party control is carried
out in accordance with A.1 to A.3.
If inadequate test results are obtained by the third
party, the test will be repeated using the same number
of test pieces that conform to all the requirements of
Tables A.1 and A.2. Defects observed in the factory
production control and immediately eliminated need
not be counted.
A.2 Sampling
The samples are taken from a large stock or from
released production by the tester or accredited
representative of the third party. They represent the
average manufactured product.
Undamaged samples can also be taken from a
wholesaler or, in special cases, from a construction
site.
Products designated as defective by the manufacturer
are only excluded from the sampling when they have
been clearly marked as such and separately stored.
The samples are marked immediately and distinctively.
--`,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
//^:^^#^~^^"~@:^"^:*^@

BSI 07-1999
Not for Resale
Sampling is recorded on file and signed by the person

taking the samples. The file is countersigned by the
foreman or his deputy. The file includes at least the
following details:
manufacturer and production plant;
sample location where appropriate;
designation of the product;
marking of the samples;
place and date;
signatures.
A.3 Documentation
The results of the third party control are written down
in an inspection report that comprises a test certificate
and a visit report.
The inspection report refers to this standard and
includes the following details:
manufacturer and production plant;
designation of the product;
scope, results and evaluation of the factory
production control;
details of sampling where appropriate;
results of the tests carried out by the third party
and comparison with the requirements;
total evaluation;
place and date;
signatures and stamp of the third party.
The documentation from the third party control also
states if the product is legitimate to carry the quality
sign from an accredited quality institute.
Pipes, fittings and seals having undergone a third party
control are marked with the mark of the third party
body.
