ASTM D 2241 Document Information:
Title
Standard Specification for Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) Pressure-Rated Pipe (SDR Series)
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Aug 1, 2005
Scope:
This specification covers poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) pipe made in
standard thermoplastic pipe
dimension ratios and pressure rated for water (see appendix). 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.
NOTE 1 - Pressurized (compressed) air or other compressed gases
contain large amounts of stored
energy which present serious safety hazards should a system fail for
any reason.
NOTE 2 - This standard specifies dimensional, performance and test
requirements for plumbing and
fluid handling applications, but does not address venting of
combustion gases.
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 stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the
standard. The values given in
parentheses are for information only.
The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods
portion, Section 8, 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. A specific precautionary statement is given in Note 7.
NOTE 3 - CPVC plastic pipe (SDR-PR), which was formerly included in
this specification, is now
covered by Specification F 442/F 442M.
NOTE 4 - The sustained and burst pressure test requirements, and the
pressure ratings in the
appendix, are calculated from stress values obtained from tests made
on pipe 4 in. (100 mm) and
smaller. However, tests conducted on pipe as large as 24 in. (600 mm)
in diameter have shown these
stress values to be valid for larger diameter PVC pipe.
NOTE 5 - PVC pipe made to this specification is often belled for use
as line pipe. For details of
the solvent cement bell, see Specification D 2672 and for details of
belled elastomeric joints, see
Specifications D 3139 and D 3212.
