(Specification)Standard Specification for Ductile Iron Gravity Sewer Pipe
Standard Specification for Ductile Iron Gravity Sewer Pipe
ABSTRACT
This specification covers ductile iron gravity sewer pipe centrifugally cast with push-on joints. This also covers trench load design procedures for both cement-lined pipe and flexible-lined pipe. Maximum depths of cover tables are included for both types of linings. Each pipe shall be subjected to a hydrostatic test and maybe performed either before or after the outside coating and inside coating have been applied, but shall be performed before the application of cement-mortar lining or of a special lining. The standard acceptance tests and additional control tests shall also be performed.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers 4 to 64-in. ductile iron gravity sewer pipe, centrifugally cast, with push-on joints. This specification may be used for pipe with other types of joints, as may be agreed upon at the time of purchase.
1.2 This specification covers trench load design procedures for both cement-lined pipe and flexible-lined pipe. Maximum depth of cover tables are included for both types of linings.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.4 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.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
