ASTM D 3309 REV A Document Information:
Title
Standard Specification for Polybutylene (PB) Plastic Hot- and Cold-Water Distribution Systems
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Sep 10, 1996
Scope:
This specification covers requirements, test methods, and
methods of marking for polybutylene plastic system components
made in one standard dimension ratio and intended for 0.69 MPa
(100 psi) water service up to and including 82°C
(180°F). These components comprise pipe and tubing,
socket-fusion fittings, compression fittings, mechanical
fittings, and plastic-to-metal transition fittings.
Requirements and test methods are included for sustained,
hydrostatic pressure strength, thermocycling resistance, joint
strength, and dimensions and tolerances for pipe and socket
fusion fittings. The components covered by this specification
are intended for use in hot- and cold-water potable water
service and distribution systems and such non-potable water
applications as building services piping, water heating and
cooling systems, fire sprinkler applications, and other
miscellaneous applications involving the transport of water,
ethylene glycol solutions, or other aqueous liquids shown not
to adversely affect PB performance.
The text of this specification references notes, footnotes,
and appendixes which provide explanatory material. These notes
and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not
be considered as requirements of the specification.
The values in SI units are the standard. The values stated in
parentheses are for information only.
NOTE 1 - Suggested hydrostatic design stresses and hydrostatic
pressure ratings for pipe, tubing, and fittings are listed in
Appendix X1. Design, assembly, and installation considerations
are discussed in Appendix X2. An optional performance
qualification and an in-plant quality control program are
recommended in Appendix X3.
The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test
method portion, Section 7, of this specification: 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.
