Aging The effect on materials exposed to an environment for a period of time. Also, the act of exposing materials to an environment for a period of time. Beam Loading The process of applying a specified force (load) to a piece of pipe that is supported at two points.
Glossary Dimensional Stability The capability of a plastic part to maintain its original shape and dimensions under conditions of use. Filler A relatively inert material added to a plastic to modify its strength, permanence, working properties, or other qualities, or to lower costs. Elasticity The property of a plastic which allows it to return to its original dimensions after deformation.
Glossary Glossary 58 Glossary Hoop Stress The circumferential stress imposed on a pipe wall when exposed to an internal pressure load. Usually expressed in PSI. Modulus A term used to describe the load required to cause a specified percentage of elongation. It is usually expressed in PSI or kilograms per square centimeter. Impact Strength A measure of a plastic part’s ability to withstand the effects of dropping and/or striking. There are two commonly used test methods, Notched Izod and Tup.
Glossary Glossary Pressure Rating The estimated maximum pressure a liquid can exert continuously inside the pipe at which the pipe will not fail. Stress Crack An external or internal crack in a plastic caused by tensile stresses less than its short-time mechanical strength. Primer Solvent used to soften joint surfaces prior to the application of solvent cement. It is usually tinted purple. Thermal Expansion The increase in a length of a plastic part due to a change in temperature.
