ISO 23711:2003

Elastomeric seals — Requirements for materials for pipe joint seals used in water and drainage applications — Thermoplastic elastomers

Scope

ISO 23711:2003 specifies requirements for materials used for moulded seals made of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) for joints in:
thermoplastic piping systems for non-pressure waste water discharge (intermittent flow at up to 95 °C) inside buildings;thermoplastic piping systems for non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage (continuous flow at up to 45 °C and intermittent flow at up to 95 °C);thermoplastic rainwater piping systems.
General requirements for finished joint seals are also given; any additional requirements called for by the particular application are specified in the relevant product standards taking into account that the performance of pipe joints is a function of the seal material properties, seal geometry and pipe joint design.
