Test temperature tolerance ±4 °F (±2 °C). Test pressure tolerance ± 5 psi (±35 kPa); test pressure hoop stress values are rounded to the nearest 5 psi or 5 kPa. Note:
Table 1 conditions are based on PE validation requirements per PPI TR-3 with Condition 6 being 85 % of Condition 1 test pressure hoop stress and six times greater
minimum average time before failure. Conditions 2 through 5 are linear stress and time interpolations between Conditions 1 and 6. The intent of multiple conditions is to
maintain equivalent performance criteria, but provide for retest in the event of ductile failure. The test pressure hoop stress levels for Conditions 2-5 are linear interpolations
for arbitrarily chosen time increments. An equivalent performance requirement, however, may be determined by arbitrarily choosing a test pressure hoop stress between
Conditions 1 and 6 and linearly interpolating the minimum average time before failure. For example for PE3710 and PE4710 material, at 670 psi test pressure hoop stress,
the minimum average time before failure would be 927 hours (200 + (750 – 670) · ((1200 – 200) / (750 – 640)) = 927).

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

Committee F17 has identified the location of selected changes to this standard since the last issue (F714–21)
that may impact the use of this standard. (Approved May 1, 2021.)

(1) Moved color requirements (previous 9.2) from Marking

section to Materials section 4.1.2 and clarified use of colors.
