Elevated Temperature Test for End Fitting ‘An elevated temperature test procedure in accordance with API SPEC 15S shall be employed to ensure that non-permissible failure modes relating to polymeric components of the pipe do not occur at times between the end of the regression test period and the end of the design life, eg., stress relaxation resulting in loss of grip within the fitting, or liner strain rupture. ‘The manufacturer shall subject test samples, with end fittings or couplers, to a constant pressure survival test, at a temperature in excess of the qualification test temperature, for a test period corresponding to the required lifetime.
