Scope
1.1
This Standard applies to newly produced non-metallic dip tubes intended for use in water heaters.
1.2
Compliance of a dip tube with this Standard does not imply that such dip tube is acceptable for use in water heaters without supplemental tests with the dip tube installed in the particular water heater design.
1.3
This Standard contains SI (Metric) corresponding to the yard/pound quantities, the purpose being to allow the Standard to be used in SI (Metric) units. (American National Standard for Metric Practice, IEEE/ASTM SI 10, or ISO 80000-1:2009, Quantities and units — Part 1: General, is used as a guide in making metric conversion from yard/pound quantities.) If a value for a measurement and a corresponding value in other units are stated, the first stated value is to be regarded as the requirement. The given corresponding value may be approximate. If a value for a measurement and a corresponding value in other units are both specified as a quoted marking requirement, the first stated unit, or both, are to be provided.
