SPECIFICATION RT-1116 Issue 5
4.3.7
Corrosive Effect
The tubing shall be tested for copper mirror corrosion in accordance with ASTM D 2671, Procedure A. The
specimens shall be conditioned for 16 hours at 135 ± 3°C
(275 ± 5°F).
Fluid Resistance
Six specimens, three 6-inch
(150-mm)
tubing specimens, which shall be weighed prior to immersion, and
three tensile specimens prepared and measured in accordance with 4.3.2, shall be immersed for 24 hours in
each of the test fluids listed in Table 3 at the temperature specified. The volume of the fluid shall not be less
than 20 times that of the specimens. After conditioning, all the specimens shall be lightly wiped and air dried
for 30 to 60 minutes at 23 ± 3°C
(73 ± °F).
The three specimens intended for the tensile strength and
elongation tests shall then be tested in accordance with 4.3.2. The other three specimens shall be weighed
before and after immersion and the weight change calculated as a percentage.
REJECTION AND RETEST
Failure of any sample of tubing to comply with any one of the requirements of this specification shall be
cause for rejection of the lot represented. Tubing which has been rejected may be replaced or reworked to
correct the defect and then submitted for acceptance. Before resubmitting, full particulars concerning the
rejection and the action taken to correct the defect shall be furnished to the inspector.
PREPARATION FOR DELIVERY
FORM
Unless otherwise specified, the tubing shall be supplied on spools.
PACKAGING
Packaging shall be in accordance with good commercial practice. The shipping container shall be not less
than 125 pound-test fiberboard.
