This part of ISO 1167 specifies a general test method for determining the resistance to internal hydrostatic pressure at a given temperature of thermoplastics pipes, fittings and piping systems for the transport of fluids.

The method accommodates water-in-water, water-in-air and water-in-liquid tests.
