Description
This European Standard specifies the characteristics of fittings made from polyethylene (PE 100 and PE 80) intended for the conveyance of water for human consumption, raw water prior to treatment, drainage and sewerage under pressure, vacuum sewer systems, and water for other purposes.
It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to in this standard.
In conjunction with Parts 1, 2, 4 and 5 of EN 12201, it is applicable to PE fittings, their joints and to joints with components of PE and other materials intended to be used under the following conditions:
- a) allowable operating pressure, PFA, up to 25 bar 1)
- b) an operating temperature of 20 °C as a reference temperature;
- c) buried in the ground;
- d) sea outfalls;
- e) laid in water;
- f) above ground, including pipes suspended below bridges.
NOTE 2 For applications operating at constant temperature greater than 20 °C and up to 40 °C, see Annex A of EN 12201‑1:2011.
Scope
These fittings can be of the following types:
a) fusion fittings;
- electrofusion fittings;
- spigot end fittings (for butt fusion using heated tools and electrofusion socket fusion);
- socket fusion fittings (see Annex A);
b) mechanical fittings;
- compression fittings;
- flanged fittings;
c) fabricated fittings (see Annex B).
