 Inspection and Quality Control

• Each lined pipe and fitting shall
be subjected to a 18,000-volt
electrostatic and/or hydro test-
ing, per ASTM 1545, as part of
the finish inspection. A visible or
audible spark at the probe from
an electrical contact to the housing
or evidence of leakage at a vent
hole indicates the presence of
a defect in the liner and shall
be cause for rejection.
Note: The electrostatic test is standard.
The hydrostatic test is available at
an additional cost
• The sealing surface of the liner
shall be free of any defects that
would impair the sealing effective-
ness. Any imperfection will not
exceed 10% of the flare thickness.
• Wooden end protectors are used
to protect the plastic faces of
flanged pipe and fittings. End
protectors should stay in place
until just prior to installation.
• Flanged pipe and fittings are
labeled with a PSI sticker
located on the wooden end
protectors, which identifies the
plastic liner type, the flange
material, and spool length.
• A colored plastic band is placed on
all pipe and fittings to identify the
PSI material and the liner type on
the exterior of the pipe.
• Plastic caps will
be used to protect
the ends on field
flare product.

Note 1: All vacuum data reflects testing done per ASTM F1545.
Note 2: 1" - 8" fittings meet or exceed pipe liner thickness and vacuum ratings for same size and liner material. Vacuum
ratings for some 10" and larger fittings may have vacuum limitations. Consult factory.
Note 3: Vacuum ratings may not apply for special angle elbows, sight flow indicators and laterals, crosses and eccentric
reducers that are 6" and above. Consult factory.
Note 4: Certain chemicals may affect vacuum ratings. Consult factory.
