PLASTICS PIPING SYSTEMS – CROSSLINKED POLYETHYLENE (PE-X) PIPES – DETERMINATION OF DEGREE OF CROSSLINKING BY SOLVENT EXTRACTION (TS EN 579)

This test specifies a method for determining the degree of crosslinking by solvent extraction of crosslinked polyethylene (PE-X) pipes. This test is applied to pipes made of PE-X that does not contain filler. A test piece is immersed in a certain boiling solvent for a certain period of the time and then the mass of the insoluble part is determined. The degree of crosslinking is the percentage of insoluble material.
