ASTM D2412 Standard Test Method for Determination of External Loading Characteristics of Plastic Pipe by Parallel-Plate Loading

The load-deflection properties of plastic pipe under parallel-plate stress are determined using this test method. Reinforced thermosetting resin pipe (RTRP), reinforced polymer mortar pipe (RPMP), and thermoplastic resin pipe are all covered by this test technique. This test method determines the pipe stiffness, stiffness factor, and load at particular deflections. Between two rigid parallel flat plates, a short pipe is loaded at a regulated rate of approach to each other. Data about the load deflection (of the pipe diameter) are acquired. The associated load and deflection are noted if there is any cracking, crazing, delamination, or rupture.

    Introduction to ASTM D2412

    The plastic pipe’s exterior loading characteristics discovered by this test method are to ascertain the pipe’s rigidity. This depends on the pipe’s dimensions as well as the physical characteristics of the material used to make it.  It is used to ascertain the pipe stiffness and load-deflection characteristics that are utilized in engineering design to contrast the properties of different polymers in pipe form. MaTestLab is one of the best testing service providers, with the best network of testing laboratories in the USA to carry out ASTM D2412 tests for our clients. It is also used to investigate the relationships between the plastic conduit and pipe’s size and deflection characteristics and to gauge the load resistance and deflection at any one of numerous key test-related events, should they transpire.

    ASTM D2412 Test Specimens

    Specimen DetailThe load-deflection properties of plastic pipe under parallel-plate stress are determined using this test method.
    Specimen SizeThe test specimen for thermoplastic pipe must be a length of tubing measuring 6 1⁄8 in. (150 6 3 mm).
    The minimum test specimen length for reinforced thermosetting resin pipe is either 12.0 in. (300 mm) or three times the nominal pipe diameter, whichever is less. 

    ASTM D2412 Test Result

    In conclusion, the load-deflection characteristics of plastic pipes under parallel plate loading can be determined using this test method. It offers crucial insights into the performance and structural behavior of plastic pipes, assisting with material selection, design optimization, and quality assessment. This approach provides information for engineering decisions and ensures the dependability and security of plastic pipe systems in a range of applications by assessing load deflection characteristics.
