ASTM C 668 Document Information:
Title
Standard Specification for Asbestos-Cement Transmission Pipe
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Sep 10, 1998
Scope:
This specification covers asbestos-cement transmission pipe intended
for use in transmission
systems that carry fluids under pressure. A transmission system
consists of pipe lines which convey
fluids from their source to a point of distribution or discharge. The
system is characterized by
relatively steady flow and few appurtenances, thereby permitting
reasonable hydraulic analysis,
including surge analysis.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The
values given in parentheses
are for information only.
NOTE 1 - This specification is issued for product standardization and
purchasing purposes only, and
does not include requirements for installation or the relationships
between operating conditions
and the strength characteristics of the various classifications of
pipe. The purchaser is cautioned
that he must correlate installation and operating conditions with the
specified characteristics of
the pipe.
Warning - Breathing of asbestos dust is hazardous. Asbestos and
asbestos products present
demonstrated health risks for users and for those with whom they come
into contact. In addition to
other precautions, when working with asbestos-cement products,
minimize the dust that results. For
information on the safe use of chrysoltile asbestos, refer to "Safe
Use of Chrysotile Asbestos: A
Manual on Preventive and Control Measures."(Footnote 2)
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use. See 1.3
for a specific hazard warning.
