ISO 13953 Polyethylene (PE) Pipe and Fittings - Determination of Tensile Strength and Rupture Mode

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of ISO 13953 testing. This International Standard describes a test method for determining tensile strength and tensile rupture mode. The method is applicable to end-to-end fused joints between PE pipes with a nominal outer diameter of not less than 90 mm.

ISO 13953 is a recognized standard for polyethylene (PE) pipes and fittings. This standard covers a test method to determine the tensile strength and rupture mode of test pieces obtained by joining end-to-end polyethylene pipes and fittings. The test is important to evaluate the strength and integrity of the joint.

The standard provides specific procedures and requirements for performing these tests. It covers aspects such as sample preparation, test conditions and reporting of results.

A test piece machined to yield a section of a PE pipe joint fused end to end is subjected to a tensile stress at a constant rate. As the test piece is loaded into a tensile testing machine, the stress is concentrated along the joint and the ultimate damage occurs near the joint.
