Foreword
The text of EN ISO 13845:2000 has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 155
"Plastics piping systems and ducting systems ", the secretariat of which is held by NNI, in
collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 138 "Plastics pipes, fittings and valves for the
transport of fluids".

This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of
an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2000, and conflicting national
standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2000.

According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,
Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

This standard is based on a new working draft, prepared by the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO). It is recast of the text concerned (ISO/TC138/SC2/N673 revised) without
modification of the technical content.

The material-dependent parameters and/or performance requirements are incorporated in the

System Standard(s) concerned.

This standard is one of a series of standards on test methods which support System Standards
for plastics piping systems and ducting systems.

1 Scope
This standard specifies a method for testing the leaktightness of assemblies of unplasticized
poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) pipes with elastomeric sealing-ring-type socket joints including:

- single sockets of pipes;

- double sockets;
- sockets of fittings.
It is also applicable to elastomeric-sealing-ring-type sockets made of ductile cast iron for use with
PVC-U pressure piping.

2 Principle
A joint assembly as test piece consisting of a PVC-U pipe mounted into a PVC-U socket is
subjected, within a specified temperature range, to a specified internal pressure regime for a
specified test period whilst the pipe is also subject to an angular deflection in the socket. While
under pressure the test piece is monitored for signs of leakage.
NOTE It is assumed that the following test parameters are set by the standard making reference
to this standard:
a) the test pressure and pressure/time regime (see 3.2 and 5.6);
b) the number of test pieces to be used (see 4.2).

3 Apparatus
3.1 Framework, comprising at least two fixing devices, one of which is movable to allow angular
deflection to be applied to the pipe within the socket. A typical arrangement is shown in figure 1.

dn is the nominal outside diameter of the pipe

L is the free length of the pipe section [L = 5dn (min. 500 mm and max. 1500 mm)]
1) is the reference point for measuring and adjusting the angle of deflection
(
·
2°)

Figure 1 — Typical Arrangement for test apparatus

WARNING For safety reasons, adequate measures should be taken in design and operation
of the equipment, especially for large test piece sizes.
Page 4
EN ISO 13845:2000

3.2 A pressure control device, connected to the test piece and capable of applying and
maintaining a variable internal hydrostatic pressure of up to at least twice the nominal pressure of
the PVC-U pipe and joint assembly.

3.3 Pressure measuring device, capable of checking conformity to the specified static pressure
values (see 5.6 and Figure 2).

4 Test pieces

4.1 Preparation
The test piece shall comprise an assembly of a PVC-U pipe section mounted into the socket of
the component to be tested.

The assembly shall be carried out in accordance with the socket manufacturer's instructions.

A pipe of the same nominal pressure as that of the socket shall be used for the test.

The length of the pipe section shall be such that the free length, L, between the socket mouth and
the end-seal is equal to five times the nominal outside diameter, dn, of the pipe with a minimum of
500 mm and a maximum of 1500 mm.
NOTE The mean outside diameter, dem, of the pipe should preferably conform to the minimum
specified value, and the socket dimensions (mean inside diameter, dim, and the diameter of the
groove for housing the sealing ring) should preferably conform to the maximum values stated by the
manufacturer, in order to have dimensions as close as possible to the extreme limits of their relevant
tolerances.

4.2 Number
The number of test pieces shall be as specified in the referring standard.

5 Procedure
5.1 Secure the socket, without any deformation, to the solid framework and align the pipe section
with the axis of the socket.

5.2 By inclining the pipe in the test apparatus, determine the free angle of deflection,
, which the
joint can tolerate without the application of force.

If

2°, firmly anchor the pipe to maintain the deflected pipe in this position for the remainder of
the test.

If
 2°, carry out the test at a deflection of 2° by forcing the pipe to that degree of deflection.

5.3 Fill the test piece with water at a temperature of (20 ± 5) °C and release any trapped air.

5.4 Condition the test piece for a period of at least 20 min to ensure equalisation of temperature.

5.5 While testing in accordance with 5.6:

a) maintain the ambient temperature within ± 5 °C of any temperature between 15 °C and

25 °C;
 Page 5
EN ISO 13845:2000

b) examine the joint during the whole test cycle and record any sign of leakage.
5.6 Unless otherwise specified in the standard referring to this test method, apply the hydrostatic
pressure test regime shown in Figure 2 so that the specified static pressures are maintained
+5
within a permitted deviation of 0 %.

f is the factor to be applied to PN during the test

NOTE The pressure changes need not be at a linear rate.

6 Test report
The test report shall include the following information:

a) a reference to this standard and to the referring standard;

b) the nominal pressure class or S series of the PVC-U pipe and socket used for the test;
c) the angle of deflection,
, used for the test;
d) the ambient temperature during the test;
e) information on the leaktightness of the joint;
f) any factors which may have affected the results, such as any incidents or any operating
details not specified in this standard;
g) the date of test.
