ASTM F1545 is the standard specification for plastic lined carbon steel piping systems. It defines type tests and routine inspections to ensure safe and reliable performance in industrial applications.
Type Tests
The standard includes stringent tests such as high temperature test, low temperature test, vacuum test, steam-water cycle test, liner thickness verification, adhesion testing, and chemical resistance evaluation.
Routine Inspections
Visual inspection, spark test at 15 KVDC, and hydro test at 29 Kg/cm² holding for 3 minutes are typically performed on 100% of products as per ASTM F1545.
