(Specification)Standard Specification for Metric- and Inch-Sized Crosslinked Polyethylene (PEX) Pipe Systems
Standard Specification for Metric- and Inch-Sized Crosslinked Polyethylene (PEX) Pipe Systems
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers performance requirements, test methods, and marking requirements for metric- and inch-sized system components (electrofusion and mechanical fittings) when joined with metric- or inch-sized PEX pipe (Specification F2788) as a system, intended for use up to and including a maximum working temperature of 200°F [93°C ]. The following performance requirements are described for the fittings – 68°F [20°C] hydrostatic strength, 176°F [80°C] hydrostatic strength, short-term internal pressure resistance, resistance to tensile loads, cohesive resistance for electrofusion fittings at both the minimum and maximum recommended temperatures, impact resistance for saddle fittings, and leak tightness and pull out tests for mechanical fittings. The metric- and inch-sized components covered by this specification are intended for the above-ground and buried pressure piping applications, such as industrial & general-purpose pipelines, potable water pipelines, and fire – extinguishing pipelines.
1.2 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.
1.3 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.
Note 1: Suggested hydrostatic design stresses and hydrostatic pressure ratings for pipe 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.
1.4 The following safety hazards 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.

*A Summary of Change
...
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.

1.1 This specification covers performance requirements, test methods, and marking requirements for metric-sized metric- and
inch-sized system components (electrofusion and mechanical fittings) when joined with metric-sized metric- or inch-sized PEX
pipe (Specification F2788) as a system, intended for use up to and including a maximum working temperature of 200°F
(93°C ).[93°C ]. The following performance requirements are described for the fittings – 68°F (20°C)[20°C] hydrostatic strength,
176°F (80°C)[80°C] hydrostatic strength, short-term internal pressure resistance, resistance to tensile loads, cohesive resistance for
electrofusion fittings at both the minimum and maximum recommended temperatures, impact resistance for saddle fittings, and
leak tightness and pull out tests for mechanical fittings. The metric-sized metric- and inch-sized components covered by this
specification are intended for the above-ground and buried pressure piping applications, such as industrial & general-purpose
pipelines, potable water pipelines, and fire – extinguishing pipelines.
1.2 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.
1.3 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI 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 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.
1.3.1 Exception—Except for dimensions, the values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given
in parentheses for nominal sizes are mathematical conversions to inch-pound units that are provided for information only and are
not considered standard.
NOTE 1—Metric sized (SI units) pipe (Specification F2788) should only be joined with corresponding metric sized fittings (such as Specification F2788,
ISO 4427-3 or ISO 15875-3). Inch sized fittings should not be used for metric-sized pipe.
NOTE 1—Suggested hydrostatic design stresses and hydrostatic pressure ratings for pipe 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.
1.4 The following safety hazards 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.
