Designation:C60185(Reapproved 2015)Standard Test Method forPressure Test on Glass Pipe1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C601;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers hydrostatic pressure testing ofconical end flanged pipe and fittings.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Significance and Use2.1 This test method provides a practical means to assess thestrength of glass pipe under internal positive hydrostaticpressure.Since test pressures are twice-rated values,the testrepresents a stringent evaluation of product strength.3.Apparatus3.1 The apparatus,as illustrated in Fig.1,shall be capable ofthe following:3.1.1 So designed that it can produce a regulated loadingrate of 3 psi(21 kPa)/s.3.1.2 So designed that it can produce hydrostatic pressureup to 500 psi(3.4 MPa).3.1.3 Pipe-end seals and connections to testing apparatusshall be made as shown in Fig.2.4.Sampling4.1 A random sampling of12to 1%(but not less than twopieces)of each size of pipe and fittings shall be made.5.Procedure5.1 Cap the pipe as illustrated in Fig.2,using standardfittings and inserts with blind flanges as end caps.Specify thebolt torque.5.2 Fill the pipe entirely with liquid,with no entrapped air,and place behind a protective shield.Keep both pipe and liquidat room temperature before testing.Use a torsion wrench totighten nuts in stages uniformly all around the flange to bolttorque shown in Table 1.5.3 Fittings,and pipe up to 2 ft(610 mm)in length,may betested in the horizontal position with the flanges resting on thetest table or surface.When testing pipe more than 2 ft in length,suspend it with straps located 12 in.(305 mm)from each flangeconnection.5.4 Pass TestApply the internal pressure at a loading rateof 3 psi(21 kPa)/s,and hold at the test pressure level specifiedin Table 1 for a period not less than 3 min,or more than 5 min.6.Report6.1 Report the following:6.1.1 Sampling percentage,6.1.2 Number,size,and description of each sample tested,6.1.3 Loading rate,maximum pressure attained,and dura-tion at maximum level,and6.1.4 Results of test.7.Precision and Bias7.1 Due to the fail-pass nature of the test,statements onprecision and bias are not applicable.8.Keywords8.1 glass;pipe;pressure1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C14 on Glassand Glass Products and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C14.05 onGlass Pipe.Current edition approved Nov.1,2015.Published November 2015.Originallyapproved in 1967.Last previous edition approved in 2010 as C601 85(2010).DOI:10.1520/C0601-85R15.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 FIG.1 Glass Pipe Standard Pressure TestFIG.2 Glass Process Pipe Standard Pressure TestC601 85(2015)2 ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard.Users of this standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any such patent rights,and the riskof infringement of such rights,are entirely their own responsibility.This standard is subject to revision at any time by the responsible technical committee and must be reviewed every five years andif not revised,either reapproved or withdrawn.Your comments are invited either for revision of this standard or for additional standardsand should be addressed to ASTM International Headquarters.Your comments will receive careful consideration at a meeting of theresponsible technical committee,which you may attend.If you feel that your comments have not received a fair hearing you shouldmake your views known to the ASTM Committee on Standards,at the address shown below.This standard is copyrighted by ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959,United States.Individual reprints(single or multiple copies)of this standard may be obtained by contacting ASTM at the aboveaddress or at 610-832-9585(phone),610-832-9555(fax),or serviceastm.org(e-mail);or through the ASTM website(www.astm.org).Permission rights to photocopy the standard may also be secured from the Copyright Clearance Center,222Rosewood Drive,Danvers,MA 01923,Tel:(978)646-2600;http:/ 1 Specifications for Bolting Torque and
