10、n a manner that will prevent saggingor bending.Do not store tube in direct sunlight for longperiods.To prevent damage,tubing and fittings should not bestored where the temperature exceeds 130F(54C).X1.2 Inventories of plastic tube should be used on a first-in,first-out basis.X2.JOINTS AND CONNECTION
11、SX2.1 PVC tubing and fittings shall be joined by the solvent-cement method.X2.2 Metal tubing and fittings shall be joined according toAppendix X4.X3.SOLVENT CEMENT JOINTSX3.1 Tube CuttingCut the tube square with the axis,usinga fine-tooth handsaw and a miter box.A rotary cutter may beused if the cut
12、ting blades are specifically designed for cuttingplastic tube in such a way as not to raise a burr or ridge(flare)at the cut end(see Fig.X3.1).Remove all burrs with adeburring tool,knife,file,or abrasive paper.X3.2 Dry Fit TestThe solvent cement joint is designed sothat there will generally be inter
13、ference of the tube wall withthe fitting socket before the tube is fully inserted.Insert thetube into the fitting and check that the interference occurs about13to23of the socket depth(Fig.X3.2).X3.3 CleaningSurfaces to be joined must be cleaned andbe free of dirt,moisture,oil,and other foreign mater
14、ial.If thiscannot be accomplished by wiping with a clean,dry cloth,achemical or mechanical cleaner must be used.If a chemicalcleaner is used,apply with an applicator.(WarningSkincontact with chemical cleaners should be avoided.)X3.4 Application Procedure:X3.4.1 Handling CementKeep the cement can clo
15、sed andin a shady place when not actually in use.Discard the cementwhen an appreciable change in viscosity takes place or at thefirst sign of gelation.The cement should not be thinned.Keepthe applicator immersed in cement between applications.(SeePractice F402 for proper handling procedures.)X3.4.2
16、Application of CementPVC solvent cement is fastdrying,and,therefore,the cement shall be applied as quickly aspossible,consistent with good workmanship(see Fig.X3.3).The surface temperature of the mating surfaces should notexceed 110F(43C)at the time of assembly.X3.4.3 Apply cement lightly but uniformly to the outside ofthe tubing,taking care to keep the use of cement to a minimum.(WarningApplication of cement to fitting socket is notrecommended and can cause drippings or an excess amount ofFIG.X
