Specification for poly (vinyl chloride)(PVC) plastic pipe, schedules 40, 80 and 120
GYD 5,500
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.
