11、the V-blockholder,and room-temperature conditioning and tests are pre-ferred choices.5.Significance and Use5.1 This practice is used for drafting impact test specifica-tion requirements,and it presupposes no special familiaritywith statistical methods.It provides for specification valuesthat will pa
12、ss acceptable lots with a high degree of certainty.The impact test requirement is intended to discriminate be-tween acceptable materials and manufacturing methods andthose which are not;it is not a simulated service test.6.Procedure6.1 Test thermoplastic pipe or fittings specimens in accor-dance wit
