Plastream complies with all of the performance criteria described in the following test methods.
Plastream has been tested in accordance with the following:
- EN 1979 Determination of the tensile strength of a seam
- EN 744 Test method for resistance to external blows by the round the clock method
- EN 1446 Determination of ring flexibility
- ASTM F2136 Notched constant ligament stress test (NCLS) to determine slow crack growth resistance
- ASTM D1693 Standard test method for environmental stress-cracking of polyethylene plastics
- Environmental exposure
- ASTM F2562 / F2562M-07 Plastream pipe standard, Plastream has achieved its own ASTM standard titled: Specifications for Steel Reinforced Thermoplastic Ribbed Pipe and Fittings for Non-Pressure Drainage and Sewerage. The standard covers pipes from DN 200 to 3000 and pipe stiffness from 100 kPa to 434 kPa.
