Abstract

This document specifies the physical and mechanical properties of fittings made from unplasticized polyamide (PA-U) in accordance with Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 16486‑1, intended to be buried and used for the supply of gaseous fuels.

It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods to which it refers.

The Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 16486 series is applicable to PA-U piping systems, the components of which are connected by fusion jointing and/or mechanical jointing.

In addition, it lays down dimensional characteristics and requirements for the marking of fittings.

In conjunction with the other parts of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± 16486 series, this document is applicable to PA-U fittings, their joints, joints with components of PA-U and joints with mechanical fittings of other materials, and to the following fitting types:

— fusion fittings (electrofusion fittings and butt fusion fittings), and

— transition fittings.
