JIS K 7036:1998 (R2016)

This Standard specifies methods of test for joints with bolted flanges for plastics piping systems of glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics (GRP) for buried and above ground pipelines. This Standard is applicable to the joint and covers methods of test to prove its design. It assumes that the joint either is or is not intended to be subject to the effects of hydrostatic end thrust. This test procedure is applicable to joints for pipes and fittings of all nominal sizes. Tests given in this Standard are applicable for evaluating joints intended for applications conveying liquids at temperatures specified in the referring specification.
