PREFACE 序言
This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee on Cross-linked Polyethylene (PE-X) Pipe to supersede AS 2537-1982. It applies to mechanical jointing fittings intended for use with PE-X pipe complying with AS 2492, Cross-linked polyethylene (PE-X) pipe for hot and cold water applications.
本标准由澳大利亚标准委员会针对交联聚乙烯管（PE-X）编制，用于代替AS2537-1982。本标准适用于与符合下列标准要求的PE-X管配合使用的机械连接件：AS 2492 使用冷热水的交联聚乙烯管（PE-X）。
This Standard incorporates Amendment No. 1 (December, 2002). The changes required by the Amendment are indicated in the text by a marginal bar and amendment number against the clause, note, table, figure or part thereof affected.
本标准配合使用修订本No.1的内容（2002年12月）。修订本有变更要求的正文中用边界竖线进行标示，对条款、注释、表格、图形或章节的修订号会对其产生影响。
The objective of this document is to provide a standard specification for use by manufacturers and purchasers of these products.
本标准的目的是向这些产品的制造商和产品购买者提供标准规范。
The terms ?normative? and ?informative? have been used in this Standard to define the application of the appendix to which they apply. A ?normative? appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an ?informative? appendix is only for information and guidance.
本标准使用了术语“规范性”和“参考性”用于表明附件的适用情况，“规范性”附录表示该附录是本标准的一部分，而“参考性”附录仅作参考和指示性使用。

1 SCOPE 1 范围
This Standard specifies requirements for mechanical jointing fittings suitable for use as fixed joints, with cross-linked polyethylene (PE-X) pipes manufactured in accordance with AS 2492.
本标准对用作固定接头，与按照AS 2492标准制造的交联聚乙烯管（PE-X）配合使用的机械连接件规定了详细要求。 NOTES:
备注：
1 Joining cross-linked polyethylene pipe by means of solvent cement is not satisfactory. 以溶剂粘结剂与交联聚乙烯管连接的形式不符合要求。
2 Alternative means for demonstrating compliance with this Standard are given in Appendix A. 附录A给出了另一种符合本标准的示例形式。
