ASTM F412-01ae1

Standard Terminology Relating to Plastic Piping Systems

SCOPE
1.1 This terminology is a compilation of definitions of technical terms used in the plastic piping industry. Terms that are generally understood or adequately defined in other readily available sources are not included.  
1.2 When a term is used in an ASTM document for which Committee F17 is responsible it is included only when judged, after review, by Subcommittee F17.94 to be a generally usable term.  
1.3 Definitions that are identical to those published by other ASTM committees or other standards organizations are identified with the committee number (for example, D-20) or with the abbreviation of the name of the organization (for example, IUPAC International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry).  
1.4 A definition is a single sentence with additional information included in notes.
