Plastics piping systems. Unplasticized poly (vinyl chloride)(PVC-U) pipes. Test method for the resistance to dichloromethane at a specified temperature (DCMT)
This standard specifies a method for determining the resistance of unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) pipes to dichloromethane at a specified temperature (DCMT).
This standard is applicable to PVC-U pipes, irrespective of their use. The method can be used as a rapid means of quality control during manufacture.
NOTE: The temperature of the dichloromethane at which PVC-U shall not be attacked, is specified in the referring standard.
