Title
Standard Specification for Crosslinked Polyethylene (PEX) Tubing
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Aug 1, 2009
Scope:
This specification covers crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) tubing
that incorporates an optional polymeric inner, middle or outer
layer and that is outside diameter controlled, made in nominal SDR9
tubing dimension ratios except were noted, and pressure rated for
water at three temperatures (see Appendix X1). Included are
requirements and test methods for material, workmanship,
dimensions, burst pressure, hydrostatic sustained pressure,
excessive temperature pressure, excessive temperature-pressure,
environmental stress cracking, stabilizer functionality, bent-tube
hydrostatic pressure, oxidative stability in potable chlorinated
water, and degree of crosslinking. Requirements for tubing markings
are also given.
The text of this specification references notes, footnotes, and
appendixes which provide explanatory material. These notes and
footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be
considered as requirements of the specification.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as
standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical
conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and
are not considered standard.
The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test
methods portion, Section 7, of this specification: This
standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if
any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user
of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health
practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to use.
*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this
standard.
