What is BS EN 17150 – Plastics piping systems about?
BS EN 17150 is a European standard that discusses the plastic piping systems for non-pressure underground conveyance and storage of non-potable water. Plastic pipe is used for the conveyance of drinking water, wastewater, chemicals, heating fluid and cooling fluids, foodstuffs, etc.
BS EN 17150 specifies a method for determining short-term compression strength on boxes made of thermoplastic materials for non-pressure underground conveyance and storage of non-potable water.
Who is BS EN 17150 – Plastic piping systems for?
BS EN 17150 on plastics piping systems is applicable to:
- Manufacturing of plastics pipes
- Suppliers and dealers for plastic pipes
- Civil engineers
- Contractors
Why should you use BS EN 17150 – Plastic piping systems?
Plastic pipe is used for the conveyance of drinking water, wastewater, chemicals, heating fluid and cooling fluids, foodstuffs, ultra-pure liquids, slurries, gases, compressed air, irrigation, plastic pressure pipe systems, and vacuum system applications.
BS EN 17150 describes the principle of where the test is carried out to find the short-term compression strength of boxes. The test sample is compressed in one direction between two parallel stiff plates, either at a constant load rate or at a constant displacement rate.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 17150, you can achieve precision in terms of product functionality. In this manner, you can deliver products that are reliable and durable and consistently meet and exceed the quality requirements.
