Keeping Standards up-to-date

Australian Standards® are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.

Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.

Detailed information about Australian Standards, drafts, amendments and new projects can
be found by visiting www.standards.org.au

Standards Australia welcomes suggestions for improvements, and encourages readers to

notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Contact us via email at

PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand
Committee PL-006, Polyolefin Pipe Systems. After consultation with stakeholders in both
countries, Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand decided to develop this Standard as
Licensed to Mr Steve BINT on 15 December 2011. 1 user personal user licence only. Storage, distribution or use on network prohibited (10262475).

an Australian Standard rather than an Australian/New Zealand Standard.

This Standard is an adoption with national modifications and has been reproduced from
ISO 9624:1997 Thermoplastics pipes for fluids under pressure—Mating dimensions of flange
adapters and loose backing flanges. The modifications have been made to limit the scope of the
Standard to polyethylene (PE) pipe systems.
The objective of this Standard is to specify the mating dimensions of flange adaptors of
polyethylene (PE) materials and the corresponding dimensions of loose backing flanges to be
used with polyethylene (PE) pipes under pressure.
As this Standard is reproduced from an international Standard, the following applies:
(a) Its number does not appear on each page of text and its identity is shown only on the
cover and title page.
(b) In the source text ‘this International Standard’ should read ‘this Australian Standard’.
(c) A full point substitutes for a comma when referring to a decimal marker.
The term ‘normative’ has been used in this Standard to define the application of the annex to
which it applies. A ‘normative’ annex is an integral part of a Standard.
References to International Standards should be replaced by references to Australian or
Australian/New Zealand Standards, as follows:

II Scope
This International Standard specifies the mating dimensions of flange adaptors of thermoplastic materials and the
corresponding dimensions of loose backing flanges to be used with thermoplastic pipes under pressure.

It applies to flange adaptors and loose backing flanges for use with pipes with nominal outside diameters dn from
16 mm to 1 200 mm and nominal pressures up to 16 bar’) (PN 16).

Tables 2 and 3 specify dimensions for socket fusion systems of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) and
solvent-cemented systems of unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-C)
and acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene (ABS).

Tables 3 to 5 specify dimensions for butt fusion systems of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP).

2 Normative references
The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this
International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to
revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the
possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated below. Members of IEC and IS0 maintain
registers of currently valid International Standards.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this International Standard, the following definitions apply:

3.1 nominal outside diameter, dn: A numerical designation of size which is common to all components in a
thermoplastics piping system other than flanges and components designated by thread size. It is a convenient round
number for reference purposes.
Licensed to Mr Steve BINT on 15 December 2011. 1 user personal user licence only. Storage, distribution or use on network prohibited (10262475).

3.2 nominal diameter (DN): A numerical designation of size of a flange for reference purposes and only loosely
related to manufacturing dimensions.

3.3 nominal pressure (PN):

NOTES
1 The relevant definition of nominal pressure (PN) is given in IS0 161-1 and relates to pipes, fittings (flange adaptors) and com-
ponents made of thermoplastic materials.
2 The nominal pressure of the flange is used to indicate its geometrical requirements.

The maximum admissible operating pressure of the pipeline to which the flange is connected may v‘aw from the nomin ressure
depending upon the operating conditions, particularly in the case of pipelines for gas, chemicals or ind ustrial liq uids.

4 Symbols
For the purposes of this International Standard, the following symbols apply:

dn nominal (outside) diameter of connecting pipe and nominal (inside) diameter of the socket
D outside diameter of loose backing flange
DN size designation of flange
Dl bolt hole diameter
D2 inside diameter of loose backing flange
D3 pitch circle diameter
D4 outside diameter of flange adaptor head
D5 outside diameter of flange adaptor shank
n number of bolt holes

5 Dimensions
5.1 For socket fusion and solvent-cemented systems, the dimensions of the flange adaptor shall conform to those
given in table 1. The dimensions of the loose backing flanges shall conform to those given in table 2 for nominal
pressure PN 10 (see also figure 1).
NOTE - The thickness of the flange adaptor face will be dependent on the material used in the manufacture of the adaptor and
on the nominal pressure for which it is designed.

5.2 For butt fusion systems, the dimensions of the flange adaptors shall conform to those given in table 3. The
dimensions at the loose backing flanges shall conform to those given in table 4 for nominal pressure PN IO and to
those given in table 5 for nominal pressure PN 16 (see also figure 2).
NOTE - The thickness of the flange adaptor face will be dependent on the material used in the manufacture
on the nominal pressure for which it is designed.

5.3 The nominal outside diameter dn of the pipe shall conform to IS0 161-1.
The outside diameter D of the loose backing flange shall conform to IS0 7005-I.

The pitch circle diameter D3 of the bolts shall conform to IS0 7005-I.
The bolt hole diameter Dl shall conform to IS0 273.

The inside diameter D2 of the loose backing flange shall conform to the design of the flange adaptor. In some
applications, values of the inside diameter of the loose backing flange differing from those given in the tables may be
used.

NOTE - The thickness of the loose backing flanges will be dependent on the material used in the manufacture of the flange
and on the nominal pressure (PN) for which it is designed.

Standards Australia is recognized as Australia’s peak non-government national standards body. Standards Australia
also supports excellence in design and innovation through the Australian Design Awards.

Australian Standards®
Committees of experts from industry, governments, consumers and other relevant sectors prepare Australian
Standards. The requirements or recommendations contained in published Standards are a consensus of the views
of representative interests and also take account of comments received from other sources. They reflect the latest
scientific and industry experience. Australian Standards are kept under continuous review after publication and are
updated regularly to take account of changing technology.

International Involvement
Standards Australia is responsible for ensuring the Australian viewpoint is considered in the formulation of
International Standards and that the latest international experience is incorporated in national Standards. This role is
vital in assisting local industry to compete in international markets. Standards Australia represents Australia at both
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
