Standard Specification for Polyethylene (PE) Plastic Pipe (DR-PR) Based on Outside Diameter

ABSTRACT
This specification covers polyethylene (PE) pipe made in dimensions based on outside determined range of diameters and larger. The piping is intended for new construction and insertion renewal of old piping systems used for the transport of water, municipal sewage, domestic sewage, industrial process liquids, effluents, slurries, etc., in both pressure and nonpressure systems. Different dimensional properties of pipes like outside diameter, wall thickness, eccentricity, toe-in, and special sizes shall be determined. Physical properties such asdensity, melt index, flexural modulus, tensile strength, slow crack growth resistance, hydrostatic strength, color and UV stabilizer, HDB, and HDS shall determined as well. In order to determine the performance of pipes under pressure the following tests shall be done: short-term pressurization test and elevated temperature sustained pressure test. The pipe shall be homogeneous throughout and essentially uniform in color, opacity, density, and other properties. The inside and outside surfaces shall be semi matte or glossy in appearance (depending on the type of plastic) and free of chalking, sticky, or tacky material. The surfaces shall be free of excessive bloom, that is, slight bloom is acceptable. The pipe walls shall be free of cracks, holes, blisters, voids, foreign inclusion, or other defects that are visible to the naked eye and that may affect the wall integrity. Holes deliberately placed in perforated pipe are acceptable. Bloom or chalking may develop in pipe exposed to direct rays of the sun (ultraviolet radiant energy) for extended periods and, consequently, these requirements do not apply to pipe after extended exposure to direct rays of the sun.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers polyethylene (PE) pipe made in dimensions based on outside diameters of 90 mm (3.500 in.) and larger.  
1.2 Three standard outside diameter sizing systems are detailed: one known as the ISO metric system, one known as the IPS system, and the other known as the DIPS system. See 5.2.5 for guidelines for special sizes.  
1.3 The piping is intended for new construction and insertion renewal of old piping systems used for the transport of water, municipal sewage, domestic sewage, industrial process liquids, effluents, slurries, etc., in both pressure and nonpressure systems.
Note 1: The user should consult the manufacturer to ensure that any damage to the polyethylene pipe caused by the material being transported will not affect the service life beyond limits acceptable to the user.  
1.4 All pipes produced under this specification are pressure-rated. See Appendix X5 for information on pressure rating.
Note 2: References and material descriptions for PE2406, PE3406, PE3408 and materials having a HDB of 1450 psi have been removed from Specification F714 due to changes in Specification D3350 and PPI TR-3. For removed designations, refer to previous editions of Specification F714, Specification D3350, PPI TR-3 and PPI TR-4. The removal of these materials does not affect pipelines that are in service. See Notes 9 and 9.  
1.5 This specification includes criteria for choice of raw material, together with performance requirements and test methods for determining conformance with the requirements.  
1.6 Quality-control measures are to be taken by manufacturers. See Appendix X4 for general information on quality control.  
1.7 In referee decisions, the SI units shall be used for metric-sized pipe and inch-pound units for pipe sized in the IPS system (ANSI B36.10) and DIPS system. In all cases, the values given in parentheses are provided for information only.  
1.8 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 6, 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, health, and env...

Polyethylene (PE) Plastic Pipe (DR-PR) Based on Outside
Diameter
This standard is issued under the fixed designation F714; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original
adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscript
epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
1. Scope*
1.1 This specification covers polyethylene (PE) pipe made in dimensions based on outside diameters of 90 mm (3.500 in.) and
larger.
1.2 Three standard outside diameter sizing systems are detailed: one known as the ISO metric system, one known as the IPS
system, and the other known as the DIPS system. See 5.2.5 for guidelines for special sizes.
1.3 The piping is intended for new construction and insertion renewal of old piping systems used for the transport of water,
municipal sewage, domestic sewage, industrial process liquids, effluents, slurries, etc., in both pressure and nonpressure systems.
NOTE 1—The user should consult the manufacturer to ensure that any damage to the polyethylene pipe caused by the material being transported will
not affect the service life beyond limits acceptable to the user.
1.4 All pipes produced under this specification are pressure-rated. See Appendix X5 for information on pressure rating.
NOTE 2—References and material descriptions for PE2406, PE3406, PE3408 and materials having a HDB of 1450 psi have been removed from
Specification F714 due to changes in Specification D3350 and PPI TR-3. For removed designations, refer to previous editions of Specification F714,
Specification D3350, PPI TR-3 and PPI TR-4. The removal of these materials does not affect pipelines that are in service. See Notes 9 and 9.
1.5 This specification includes criteria for choice of raw material, together with performance requirements and test methods for
determining conformance with the requirements.
1.6 Quality-control measures are to be taken by manufacturers. See Appendix X4 for general information on quality control.
1.7 In referee decisions, the SI units shall be used for metric-sized pipe and inch-pound units for pipe sized in the IPS system
(ANSI B36.10) and DIPS system. In all cases, the values given in parentheses are provided for information only.
1.8 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 6, 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.

NOTE 3—Hydrostatic design stress (HDS) ratings for PE compounds are in accordance with this specification and are specified in Section 4.
4. Materials
4.1 Polyethylene Compound—Polyethylene compounds suitable for use in the manufacture of pipe under this specification shall
meet thermoplastic materials designation codes PE2708 or PE3608 or PE4608 or PE4710, and shall meet Table 1 requirements
for PE2708 or PE3608 or PE4608 or PE4710, and shall meet thermal stability, brittleness temperature and elongation at break
requirements in accordance with Specification D3350.
4.1.1 Polyethylene compounds suitable for use in the manufacturer of DIPS pipe per Table 2 and Table 3 are identified by
thermoplastic pipe material designation code, and shall be PE4710 or PE3608 in accordance with 4.1, 4.1.2 and 4.2.
4.1.2 Color and Ultraviolet (UV) Stabilization—Per Table 1, polyethylene compounds shall meet Specification D3350code C
or E. In addition, Code C polyethylene compounds shall have 2 to 3 percent carbon black, and Code E polyethylene compounds
shall have sufficient UV stabilizer to protect pipe from deleterious UV exposure effects during unprotected outdoor shipping and
storage for at least eighteen (18) months.
4.2 Potable Water Requirement—When required by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction, products intended for contact
with potable water shall be evaluated, tested, and certified for conformance with NSF/ANSI Standard No. 61 or the health effects
portion of NSF/ANSI Standard No. 14 by an acceptable certifying organization.
4.3 Rework Material—Clean polyethylene compound from the manufacturer’s own pipe production that met 4.1 through 4.1.2
as new compound is suitable for reextrusion into pipe, when blended with new compound of the same thermoplastic pipe material
designation code. Pipe containing rework material shall meet the requirements of this specification.
5. Requirements
5.1 Workmanship—The pipe shall be homogeneous throughout and essentially uniform in color, opacity, density, and other
properties. The inside and outside surfaces shall be semimatte or glossy in appearance (depending on the PE compound) and free
of chalking, sticky, or tacky material. The surfaces shall be free of excessive bloom, that is, slight bloom is acceptable. The pipe
walls shall be free of cracks, holes, blisters, voids, foreign inclusion, or other defects that are visible to the naked eye and that may
affect the wall integrity. Holes deliberately placed in perforated pipe are acceptable. Bloom or chalking may develop in pipe
exposed to direct rays of the sun (ultraviolet radiant energy) for extended periods and, consequently, these requirements do not
apply to pipe after extended exposure to direct rays of the sun.
5.2 Dimensions and Tolerances:
5.2.1 Outside Diameters—These shall be in accordance with Table 2 (inch-pound units), Table 4 (SI units), Table 5 (inch-pound
units) or when measured in accordance with Test Method D2122 at any point not closer than 300 mm (11.8 in.) to the cut end of
a length of pipe. Conditioning to standard temperature without regard to relative humidity is required.
