This document also specifies the test parameters for the test methods it references.

In conjunction with other parts of the ISO 22101 series, this document is applicable to PE-sGF pipes, fittings, their joints and joints with components of PE-sGF or other materials, intended to be used under the following conditions:

a)       a maximum allowable operating pressure (PFA) up to and including 25 bar;1)

b)       operating temperature of 20 °C as the reference temperature.

NOTE            For other operating temperatures, guidance is given in ISO/PAS 22101-1:2022, Annex A.

This document is applicable to pipes with an inside diameter of 200 mm to 1 000 mm with integrated socket and spigot fusion joint.
