Designation: F 1335 04

An American National Standard

Standard Specication for

Pressure-Rated Composite Pipe and Fittings for Elevated Temperature Service1

This standard is issued under the xed designation F 1335; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

1. Scope 1.1 This specication covers pressure-rated composite pipe and ttings for the transport of hot or cold liquids, beverages, or gases that are compatible with the composite pipe and ttings. 1.2 Composite pipe is produced using a butt welded aluminum pipe as a core, with an extruded inside layer of crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) or polyethylene (PE). An adhesive layer is used to bond the inside layer to the wall of the aluminum pipe. An outer layer of polyethylene (PE) and an adhesive layer are extruded to the outer wall of the aluminum pipe. 1.3 Composite pipe is produced in four congurations and referenced in Fig. 1, as Classes 1, 2, 3, and 4 composite pipe. 1.4 This specication includes compression ttings and compression joints, which are referenced in Fig. 2. Compression ttings as described in this specication are not compatible for gas transportation. Threaded ttings are referenced in Fig. 3. 1.5 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test method portion of this specication: 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. 1.6 The values stated in acceptable SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are provided for information only. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents, therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specication. 2. Referenced Documents 2.1 ASTM Standards: 2

(Nonmandatory Information) X1. CONSTRUCTION

X1.1 The composite pipe is made by a continuous extrusion process with ve layers of three to ve different materials. A solid butt welded aluminum tube with the weld laying parallel to the pipe axis is situated between two polymeric layers. Extruded adhesive coats allow adhesion between the components. A textile webbing may be incorporated in the outside adhesion coat.

X1.2 The pipe section is perfectly homogeneous in the circumference and this process allows unlimited lengths.

X2. PIPE PROPERTIES

X2.1 This composite pipe brings most of the advantages of the plastic to the metallic one and most of the advantages of the metallic one to the plastic one. The aging of such pipe works on the same principle as metallic pipe. This without most of the known inconveniences of those two components. X2.2 The right proportion between malleable aluminum

and polymeric material allows an easy bending, even by hand, the pipe keeping exactly the shape given. This kind of pipe is light although strong, corrosion resistant, and perfectly tight. X2.3 Composite pipe has been successfully and extensively tested by official laboratories. Official labels have been delivered in several countries.
