Compulsory
Plastic
This specification covers poly (vinyl
chloride) (PVC) pipe made in Schedule 40, 80, and 120 sizes and pressure-rated
for water (see Appendix X1). Included are criteria for classifying PVC
plastic pipe materials and PVC plastic pipe, a system of nomenclature for PVC
plastic pipe, and requirements and test methods for materials, workmanship,
dimensions, sustained pressure, burst pressure, flattening, and extrusion
quality. Methods of marking are also given.
The products covered by this specification
are intended for use with the distribution of pressurized liquids only, which
are chemically compatible with the piping materials. Due to inherent hazards
associated with testing components and systems with compressed air or other
compressed gases, some manufacturers do not allow pneumatic testing of their
products. Consult with specific product/component manufacturers for their
specific testing procedures prior to pneumatic testing.
