What is ISO 8533 – Cemented or wrapped joints about ?
ISO 8533 discusses glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics (GRP) pipes and fittings. ISO 8533 specifies methods of testing for cemented or wrapped joints for buried and above ground glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics (GRP) piping systems.
ISO 8533 is only applicable to the joint and covers methods of test to prove its design. ISO 8533 assumes that the joint either is or is not intended to be subject to the effects of hydrostatic end thrust.
Who is ISO 8533 – Cemented or wrapped joints for ?
ISO 8533 on cemented or wrapped joints is useful for:
- Cemented or wrapped joints designers and manufacturers
- Pipe manufacturers
- Designers of plumbing systems
- Quality control system
Why should you use ISO 8533 – Cemented or wrapped joints ?
In a pipework system, pipes and fittings of different nominal pressures and nominal stiffness may be used. A joint may be made between pipes and/or fittings and should be designed such that its performance is equal to or better than the requirements of the pipeline, but not necessarily of the components being joined.
The tests detailed in ISO 8533 inclusive are applicable to cemented or wrapped joints intended to be used in buried or above-ground applications. The bending tests detailed in ISO 8533 can be used to prove the design where joints are either intended to be used in buried applications or are intended to be used in above-ground situations where the tests may be considered appropriate.
The procedure detailed in ISO 8533, these test procedures are applicable to joints for pipes and fittings of all nominal sizes. The tests detailed in ISO 8533 are applicable to joints for pipes and fittings up to and including DN 600. ISO 8533 methods help you to prove the design of your cemented or wrapped joints.
