(Specification)Specification for Steel Reinforced Thermoplastic Ribbed Pipe and Fittings for Non-Pressure Drainage and Sewerage
Specification for Steel Reinforced Thermoplastic Ribbed Pipe and Fittings for Non-Pressure Drainage and Sewerage
ABSTRACT
This specification covers requirements and test methods for materials, dimensions, workmanship, impact resistance, pipe stiffness, flattening, buckling, tensile strength of seam, joint systems, perforations, and markings for steel reinforced thermoplastic pipe and fittings. The steel reinforced, spirally formed thermoplastic pipes are intended for use in underground applications where soil provides support for their flexible walls. These pipes will be used for gravity flow and non-pressure applications, such as storm sewers, sanitary sewers, industrial waste applications and drainage pipes. The pipe dimensions, pipe stiffness, flattening, impact resistance, tensile strength of seam, and joint tightness shall be tested to meet the requirements prescribed.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers requirements and test methods for materials, dimensions, workmanship, impact resistance, pipe stiffness, flattening, buckling, tensile strength of seam, joint systems, perforations, and markings for steel reinforced thermoplastic pipe and fittings of nominal sizes 8 in. [200 mm] through 120 in. [3000 mm]. The steel reinforced, spirally formed thermoplastic pipes governed by this standard are intended for use in underground applications where soil provides support for their flexible walls. These pipes will be used for gravity flow and non-pressure applications, such as storm sewers, sanitary sewers, industrial waste applications and drainage pipes.
1.2 Units—The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents: therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
1.3 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 environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 There is no similar or equivalent ISO standard.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Designation: F2562/F2562M − 15 F2562/F2562M − 15 (Reapproved 2019)
Specification for
Steel Reinforced Thermoplastic Ribbed Pipe and Fittings for
Non-Pressure Drainage and Sewerage
This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2562/F2562M; 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 requirements and test methods for materials, dimensions, workmanship, impact resistance, pipe
stiffness, flattening, buckling, tensile strength of seam, joint systems, perforations, and markings for steel reinforced thermoplastic
pipe and fittings of nominal sizes 8 in. [200 mm] through 120 in. [3000 mm]. The steel reinforced, spirally formed thermoplastic
pipes governed by this standard are intended for use in underground applications where soil provides support for their flexible
walls. These pipes will be used for gravity flow and non-pressure applications, such as storm sewers, sanitary sewers, industrial
waste applications and drainage pipes.
1.2 Units—The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text the
SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents: therefore, each system shall be used
independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
1.3 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 environmental practices and determine the applicability of
regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 There is no similar or equivalent ISO standard.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization
established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued
by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

3. Terminology
3.1 Definitions—Definitions used in this specification are in accordance with Terminology F412, unless otherwise noted.
3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:
3.2.1 gravity flow, n—a condition where liquid flow through a piping system results from a downward pipeline slope, but flow
is less than full, except during conditions when the system may become temporarily surcharged in which case, the system is subject
to temporary internal hydrostatic pressure that is limited to piping system joint capabilities.
3.2.2 steel reinforced thermoplastic pipe, n—ribbed thermoplastic pipe with steel reinforcing strips encapsulated within the ribs
(See Fig. 1).
3.2.3 encapsulation thicknesses, n—the thicknesses of the HDPE covering on both sides of the steel reinforcement as well as
the thickness of the closure at the top (outside) of the rib and the thickness of the profile directly under (inside) of the
reinforcement.
3.2.4 wrap width, n—the width the helically wrapped strip covers when measured across the strip, perpendicular to the ribs (See
Fig. 1).
4. Significance and Use
4.1 Steel reinforced thermoplastic pipes are used for underground applications where soil provides support to their flexible
walls. Their main use is for gravity flow and non-pressure drainage of surface water, sanitary sewage and industrial waste.
NOTE 1—Industrial waste disposal lines should be installed only upon the specific approval of the governing code, or other authority, and after
determining the suitability of the product under the anticipated environment, temperature, and other end-use conditions. Users should consult the
manufacturer for the required product information.
4.2 This specification covers pipe products made in various stiffness classes according to Table 1 at 5 % deflection when tested
in accordance with Test Method D2412. The required stiffness class shall be determined by structural design calculations based
on the application of the pipe.
4.3 This specification covers pipe products using the following different joining systems;
4.3.1 Bell and spigot, gasketed type —seal is affected by a gasket compressed between the spigot and bell ends of the pipe.
4.3.2 Internal coupling, sealant type—seal is affected by applying an industrial sealant between the external surface of the
coupling and the internal surface of the pipe.
4.3.3 Other—Where these connections are impractical or undesirable because of space, layout or other requirements, it is
permissible to use joining methods such as flanging, internal coupling (gasketed type), extrusion welding, electro-fusion, butt
fusion, and others. Methods proposed should be evaluated by the engineer for suitability.
