ASTM WK36629

(What is a Work Item? / How to Input to a Work Item)

Work Item: ASTM WK36629 - Revision of F876 - 10e1 Standard Specification for Crosslinked Polyethylene (PEX) Tubing


Active Standard: F876 - 13

Developed by Subcommittee: F17.26 | Committee F17 Home | Contact Staff Manager



1. Rationale

Project 26-11-06 will clarify the test protocol to be used for UV resistance classification of materials having a chlorine resistance rating. It appears that the current wording of clause 3.2.7.2 can be misinterpreted with unintended consequences with regard to the chlorine resistance rating. This revision does not reflect any change in the requirements.
