Thermal Cycling Testing for Thermoplastic Pipes

Accredited Testing Laboratory For ISO 15874 and MS 2286 

Thermal Cycling Test for Thermoplastic Pipe


Thermal cycling test is the most important performance test for hot and cold water piping system. To conduct the test all parts of the piping system will be involved, such as pipes, fittings, joints and welds.

Thermal cycling test can verify the quality of design of the parts, raw materials, manufacturing procedure and installation process.  As a result of differences in the characteristic of thermal expansion, thermal cycling test will loosen mechanical joints after repetitive changes in temperature.  

There are various thermoplastic piping materials which are currently used by building industry for internal cold and hot piping system and their characteristics and joining are different as well. 

ISO 15874 and MS 2286

ISO 15874 and MS 2286 are two standards that currently followed by PPR pipes and fittings manufacturers as quality reference. MS 2286 is Malaysia Standard that adopted from ISO 15874.

PPR pipes working pressure is classified in the standards with "S" series and Design Pressure. This pressure rating system is differs from the Nominal Pressure (PN) which is traditionally used by the manufacturers. Nevertheless, both rating systems can be found  and relationship are shown in most manufacturers' product catalogue. 


Thermal Cycling Test

Among the many tests specified in ISO 15874 and MS 2286 that require the PPR pipes and fittings to be tested as separate components as well as joined as a single test assembly for the Joint Test.

Being one of the test specified in the Standards, Thermal Cycling Testing is one of the most tedious, complicated and time consuming test. The assembly system are subjected to temperature 90°C for 15 minutes and 20°C  for another 15 minutes alternately, for the total of 5000 cycles or 2,500 hours to complete. The system under test is set to a constant design pressure. 
The pipe system is deemed to pass the test if there is no leaks observed.

Accredited Test Laboratory For Thermal Cycling Test

TestLabs laboratory is equipped with comprehensive testing facility to perform thermal cycling test for wide range of thermoplastic pipes and fittings.
​
We conduct the test for all diameters and design pressure and/or in accordance to SIRIM certification requirement. Our test report is recognised by SIRM QAS as part of the product certification requirement.
