Overview
EN ISO 15494:2018/A1:2020 is an important amendment to the international standard governing plastics piping systems used in industrial applications. Covering a range of polymer materials including Polybutene (PB), Polyethylene (PE), Polyethylene of Raised Temperature Resistance (PE-RT), Crosslinked Polyethylene (PE-X), and Polypropylene (PP), this standard specifies metric series for components and the system as a whole. It ensures uniformity in specifications and performance requirements to facilitate safety, reliability, and compatibility of pipework in industrial settings.
Developed under the collaboration between ISO/TC 138 and CEN/TC 155, this amendment aligns European national standards with international practices, promoting consistent quality and regulatory compliance across member states.
Key Topics
- Materials Coverage: Detailed specifications and testing requirements for PB, PE, PE-RT, PE-X, and PP piping systems.
- Metric Series Specifications: Defines dimensions, tolerances, and classifications within the metric series to standardize component interchangeability.
- Hydrostatic Strength Curves: Includes updated formulas and minimum required strength curves for crosslinked polyethylene (PE-X), critical for assessing long-term performance under pressure and temperature stresses.
- Temperature Resistance: Emphasizes testing at elevated temperatures, including 110 °C values determined under different conditions (water inside, air outside), essential for applications demanding thermal stability.
- Amendment Details: Modifications affect formulas related to time to failure predictions in hoop stress conditions, improving reliability assessments for pipeline lifespan estimation.
Applications
This standard is specifically tailored for industrial piping systems using plastics, applicable in:
- Chemical processing plants requiring corrosion-resistant piping.
- Food and beverage industry systems needing hygienic, temperature-resistant piping solutions.
- Heating and cooling installations where raised temperature resistance and mechanical durability are essential.
- Water treatment and distribution systems utilizing plastic pipes with standardized dimensions and performance characteristics.
- Manufacturing and production lines employing plastic piping for fluid transport under varied pressure and temperature conditions.
By adhering to EN ISO 15494:2018/A1:2020, industries benefit from:
- Enhanced safety and reduced failure risks in plastic pipe networks.
- Simplified components selection through metric series standardization.
- Improved interoperability of piping system parts across suppliers and manufacturers.
- Assurance of compliance with internationally recognized quality benchmarks.
Related Standards
To complement EN ISO 15494:2018/A1:2020, users should also consider:
