Title
Standard Specification for Performance of Piping and Tubing Mechanically Attached Fittings
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Jun 10, 1999
Scope:
This specification establishes the performance characteristics
required for mechanically attached
fittings (MAFs) for use in piping and tubing systems. These fittings
directly attach to pipe or
tube by mechanical deformation of the pipe or tube or fitting, or a
combination thereof, creating a
seal and a restrained joint. The seal may be created via the
mechanical deformation or created
independently. Successful completion of the tests described
constitutes completion of the technical
portion of the qualification process.
Supplementary requirements are provided for use when additional
testing or inspection is desired.
These shall apply only when specified in part or whole by the
purchaser in the order. Unless
otherwise specified, U.S. Navy contracts shall invoke the
supplementary requirements in whole.
Unless specific MAF types are specified, the term "MAF" shall apply to
all types described herein.
The tests specified in Section 13 and described in Annex A1 and
Supplementary Requirements are
applicable only to ascertain the performance characteristics of MAFs.
These tests are not intended
for use in the evaluation of non-MAF products.
A fire performance test is specified in Supplementary Requirement S7.
This test provides general
guidelines to determine the responsiveness of MAFs when subjected to
fire. This test should not be
considered for use to evaluate non-MAF products.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The
values given in parentheses
are for information only.
The following safety hazards caveat applies only to the tests listed
in Section 13 and the tests
described in the Supplementary Section and the Annex of this
specification: This standard does not
purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with
its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate
safety and health practices
and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to
use.
