ASTM F2306/F2306M-05

Standard Specification for 12 to 60 in. [300 to 1500 mm] Annular Corrugated Profile-Wall Polyethylene (PE) Pipe and Fittings for Gravity-Flow Storm Sewer and Subsurface Drainage Applications

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers requirements and test methods for annular, corrugated profile wall polyethylene pipe and fittings with an interior liner. The nominal inside diameters covered are 12 to 60 in. [300 to 1500 mm].
1.2 The requirements of this specification are intended to provide pipe and fittings suitable for underground use for gravity-flow storm sewer and subsurface drainage systems.Note 1
Pipe and fittings produced in accordance with this specification shall be installed in compliance with Practice D 2321.
1.3 This specification covers pipe and fittings with an interior liner using a corrugated exterior profile ().
1.4 UnitsThe 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.
The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Section , 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.
