List of references

Specifies the composition, structure, mechanical properties, sizes, testing, marking and appearance requirements of both tubular film for site application and sheet polymeric film for factory application.

This British Standard specifies the composition, structure, mechanical properties, sizes, testing, marking and appearance requirements of both tubular polymeric film for site application and sheet polymeric film for factory application to ductile iron pipes. This British Standard also specifies requirements for the factory application of sheet sleeving and the repair of sleeving before or during installation of the pipeline.
