ČSN EN 12201-2

This document specifies the characteristics of pipes made from polyethylene (PE) for buried and above ground applications, intended for the conveyance of water for human consumption, raw water prior to treatment, drains and sewers under pressure, vacuum sewer systems, and water for other purposes, with the exception of industrial application.
The intended uses include sea outfalls, laid in water and pipes suspended below bridges.
For use in contaminated soils special consideration is taken for pipes intended for the transport of water intended for human consumption or raw water prior to treatment.
It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to in this document.
In conjunction with EN 12201-1, EN 12201-3, EN 12201-4 and EN 12201-5, this document is applicable to PE pipes, fitting and valves, their joints and joints with components of PE and other materials intended to be used under the following conditions:
a) allowable operating pressure, PFA, up to 25 bar 1;
b) an operating temperature of 20 °C as a reference temperature.
The EN 12201 series covers a range of allowable operating pressures and gives requirements concerning colours.
This document is applicable to three types of pipes:
- PE pipes (outside diameter dn) including any identification stripes;
- PE pipes with co-extruded layers on either or both the outside and/or inside of the pipe (total outside diameter dn) as specified in Annex B, where all PE layers have the same MRS rating;
- PE pipes (outside diameter dn) with a peelable and contiguous thermoplastics additional layer on the outside of the pipe ("coated pipe") as specified in Annex C.
