1.1 ,This practice describes procedures for making butt fusion joints with Polyamide 12 (PA12) pipe and fittings by means of heat fusion joining in, but not limited to, a field environment. Procedure A is for environmental temperatures of 40 ,°,F (4 ,°,C) and higher. Procedure B is for site temperatures below 40 ,°,F (4 ,°,C). Other suitable heat fusion joining procedures are available from various sources including pipe and fitting manufacturers. This standard does not purport to address all possible heat fusion joining procedures, or to preclude the use of qualified procedures developed by other parties that have been proved to produce reliable heat fusion joints.
