Scope

This document specifies a method for the evaluation of the ductility of the fusion joint interface of assemblies of polyethylene (PE) pipe and electrofusion saddles, intended for the conveyance of fluids.
NOTE            The applicability of this method depends upon the design of the saddle. If not applicable, the strip-bend test according to ISO 21751[1] is considered an alternative.
