Designation: F 1545 – 97 (Reapproved 2003) An American National Standard
Standard Specification for
Plastic-Lined Ferrous Metal Pipe, Fittings, and Flanges1
This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 1545; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers factory-made plastic-lined fer-
rous metal pipe, fittings, and flanges intended primarily for
conveying corrosive fluids. Requirements for materials, work-
manship, dimensions, design, fabrication, working pressure
and temperatures, test methods, qualification requirements, and
markings are included.
1.1.1 This specification does not define the suitability of
different liner materials to various chemical and operating
environments. Refer to the manufacturer’s chemical resistance
data for suitability recommendations.
1.1.2 This specification does not include products coated
with plastics.
1.2 This specification covers plastic-lined pipe, flanges, and
fittings as listed in Table 1. Pressure limitations shall be in
accordance with ANSI/ASME B16 Standards, except reduced
pressure limitations may be established by the manufacturer,
considering both pressure and temperature limitations of the
ferrous metal housing and the sealing ability of the liner.
NOTE 1—In this specification, propylene plastics cover those materials
defined as both polypropylene plastics and propylene plastics in Termi-
nology F 412. Both materials are identified as “PP” on the product. Note
that this is at variance with Terminology D 1600, where “PP” is the
abbreviation for polypropylene.
1.3 The plastic-lined flanged pipe and fitting assemblies are
limited to temperatures shown in Table 2. End users should
consult with manufacturers as to the likely result of using a
particular lined piping component at temperatures below the
rated minimum.
NOTE 2—The temperature limitations are based on noncorrosive test
conditions. Use in specific aggressive environments may alter temperature
limitations. In such instances, specific temperature limits shall be estab-
lished by mutual agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer.
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded
as the standard. The values given in parentheses are provided
for information only.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-
priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-
bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.

pable of meeting the qualification requirements specified in
Section 6.
5.5.2 Inspection—Each spool and fitting, prior to shipment,
shall be hydrostatically or electrostatically tested in accordance
with Section 7 and shall subsequently be inspected visually to
verify conformance to the requirements of 5.4.
6. Test Methods
6.1 High-Temperature Test:
6.1.1 Cycle representative production samples of lined pipe
and fittings in an oven from room temperature to the test
temperature of the liner type (Table 9) to determine the ability
of the lined components to withstand heat aging and tempera-
ture cycling. Test a minimum of two pipe spools, tees, and 90°
elbows in each size.
6.1.2 Procedure—Install companion flanges at the manufac-
turer’s recommended torque value, and affix a thermocouple in
the ferrous housing to measure the temperature. Pipe spools
shall be at least 3 ft (1 m) long. After 3 h in an oven at the test
temperature (Table 9) as indicated by the thermocouple, air
cool the lined components to 122°F (50°C) maximum. Repeat
this test for a total of three cycles.
6.1.3 Inspection—Inspect lined pipe and fittings after each
cycle for distortion or cracks in the lining. At the completion of
the third cycle, subject tested specimens to the hydrostatic or
electrostatic test described in Section 7.
6.2 Low-Temperature Test:
6.2.1 After the high-temperature test, subject the same parts
used for 6.1 to a cold test at 0°F (−18°C) for a minimum of 48
h. New parts may also be used.
6.2.2 Procedure—Install companion flanges at the manufac-
turer’s recommended torque value, and affix a thermocouple to
the ferrous housing to measure the temperature. Pipe spools
shall be at least 3 ft (1 m) long. After 48 h at or below 0°F
(−18°C), as indicated by the thermocouple, allow the parts to
warm to a minimum of 60°F (16°C).
6.2.3 Inspection—Inspect lined pipe and fittings for distor-
tion or cracks in the lining. Subject tested specimens in the
hydrostatic or electrostatic test described in Section 7.
6.3 Steam-Cold Water Cycling Test:
6.3.1 Subject representative production samples of lined
pipe and fittings to steam-cold water cycling to determine the
ability of the lined components to withstand rapid temperature
changes. Test a minimum of two pipe spools, tees, and 90°
elbows in each size.
6.3.2 Procedure—Assemble lined pipe and fittings with
suitable flanges having provision for the introduction of steam
F 1545 – 97 (2003)
3
air, cold water, and for drainage. Install the flange using the
manufacturer’s recommended torque value. Pipe spool length
shall be 10 ft (3 m) minimum. Mount the sample in such a
manner as to permit complete drainage and venting. Then
subject the sample to 100 consecutive steam-cold-water cycles,
each consisting of the following in the sequence given:
6.3.2.1 Circulate gage saturated steam at the pressure listed
in Table 10 through the sample until the ferrous housing skin
temperature adjacent to the flange at the outlet end of the
sample has not changed more than 5°F (3°C) in 10 min.
6.3.2.2 Close off the steam.
6.3.2.3 Circulate water at a maximum temperature of 77°F
(25°C). Circulate the cooling water until the ferrous housing
skin temperature adjacent to the flange at the outlet end of the
sample measures 122°F (50°C) or lower.
6.3.2.4 Vent and introduce air to purge the sample for a
minimum of 1 min making certain that it is completely drained
of water.
6.3.3 Inspection—There shall be no evidence of leakage
from the venting system or from behind the plastic faces during
the 100 cycles. At the completion of the test, the liner shall
exhibit no buckling or cracking. On PFA, PTFE, and FEP,
formation of water blisters shall not be cause for rejection.
NOTE 7—These surface blisters are formed due to absorption of the
steam vapors by the liner and subsequent condensation in the liner. The
blisters do not adversely affect liner performance.
6.3.4 Subject the lined pipes or fittings to either the hydro-
static test described in Section 7 or, after drying, to the
electrostatic test described in Section 7.
6.4 Vacuum Testing:
6.4.1 Test representative samples of lined pipe and fittings
to determine the vacuum ratings of the lined components. Test
a minimum of two pipe spools, tees, and 90° elbows in each
size. Conduct tests at room temperature, at the manufacturer’s
maximum recommended service temperature, and at one inter-
mediate temperature level. Full vacuum is defined as 29.6 in.
Hg corrected to sea level.
NOTE 8—Vacuum temperature ratings for pipe and fittings are pub-
lished in the manufacturer’s literature.
NOTE 9—The vacuum test is performed on pipe and fittings that have
not been exposed to prior service. Use in specific environments may alter
the vacuum-temperature ratings.
6.4.2 Procedure—For pipe spools, specimen lengths shall
be at least 10 pipe diameters. Install a flange incorporating a
sight glass at one end and a flange suitable for drawing a
vacuum at the other end. Affix a thermocouple to the ferrous
housing to measure the temperature. Heat the specimens
uniformly externally with the sight glass end visible. Begin the
test after the desired ferrous housing temperature has been
reached. Hold a selected initial vacuum level for 8 h, and if no
failure occurs, increase the vacuum by 5 in. Hg. Repeat this
every 8 h until failure or full vacuum is reached. Failure is
defined as any buckling or collapse of the liner. If failure
occurs at the initial vacuum level selected, test a new test
specimen at a lower vacuum level to determine the failure
threshold. The vacuum failure threshold is defined as 1 in. Hg
below that at which failure occurs.
NOTE 10—The external pressure method to simulate higher than full
vacuum can be used to establish the failure threshold when full vacuum is
achieved. With the use of pressure taps, a pressure is applied between the
plastic liner outside diameter and the pipe inside diameter.
6.4.3 The vacuum rating shall be 80 % of the failure
threshold value.
6.4.4 At the test completion and after establishing the
vacuum rating, place a duplicate specimen in an oven at the test
temperature. Apply the rated vacuum to the specimen after the
desired skin temperature has been reached. Achieve the rated
vacuum within 2
