ASTM F714-24

Standard Specification for Polyethylene (PE) Plastic Pipe (DR-PR) Based on Outside Diameter

ABSTRACT
This specification covers polyethylene (PE) pipe made in dimensions based on outside determined range of diameters and larger. The piping is intended for new construction and insertion renewal of old piping systems used for the transport of water, municipal sewage, domestic sewage, industrial process liquids, effluents, slurries, etc., in both pressure and nonpressure systems. Different dimensional properties of pipes like outside diameter, wall thickness, eccentricity, toe-in, and special sizes shall be determined. Physical properties such asdensity, melt index, flexural modulus, tensile strength, slow crack growth resistance, hydrostatic strength, color and UV stabilizer, HDB, and HDS shall determined as well. In order to determine the performance of pipes under pressure the following tests shall be done: short-term pressurization test and elevated temperature sustained pressure test. The pipe shall be homogeneous throughout and essentially uniform in color, opacity, density, and other properties. The inside and outside surfaces shall be semi matte or glossy in appearance (depending on the type of plastic) and free of chalking, sticky, or tacky material. The surfaces shall be free of excessive bloom, that is, slight bloom is acceptable. The pipe walls shall be free of cracks, holes, blisters, voids, foreign inclusion, or other defects that are visible to the naked eye and that may affect the wall integrity. Holes deliberately placed in perforated pipe are acceptable. Bloom or chalking may develop in pipe exposed to direct rays of the sun (ultraviolet radiant energy) for extended periods and, consequently, these requirements do not apply to pipe after extended exposure to direct rays of the sun.

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.
Designation: F714 − 22 F714 − 24 An American National Standard
Standard Specification for
Polyethylene (PE) Plastic Pipe (DR-PR) Based on Outside
Diameter
This standard is issued under the fixed designation F714; 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 polyethylene (PE) pipe made in three standard outside diameter sizing systems, based on outside
diameters of DIPS 3, IPS 4, Metric 90 mm and larger. For smaller sizes refer to Specification D3035. See 5.2.5 for guidelines on
special sizes.
1.2 The piping is intended for new construction and insertion renewal of old piping systems used for the transport of water,
municipal sewage, domestic sewage, industrial process liquids, effluents, slurries, etc., in both pressure and nonpressure systems.
NOTE 1—The user should consult the manufacturer to ensure that any mechanical or chemical effects to the polyethylene pipe caused by the material being
transported will not affect the service life beyond limits acceptable to the user. See PPI TR-19 Chemical Resistance of Thermoplastic Piping Materials
for guidance on chemical effects, www.plasticpipe.org
1.3 All pipes produced under this specification are pressure-rated. See Appendix X5 for information on pressure rating.
NOTE 2—References and material descriptions for PE2406, PE3408 and materials having a HDB of 1450 psi have been removed from Specification F714
due to changes in Specification D3350 and PPI TR-3. For removed designations, refer to previous editions of Specification F714, Specification D3350,
PPI TR-3 and PPI TR-4. The removal of these materials does not affect pipelines that are in service. See Note 4 and Note 9.
1.4 This specification includes criteria for choice of raw material, together with performance requirements and test methods for
determining conformance with the requirements.
1.5 Quality-control measures are to be taken by manufacturers. See Appendix X4 for general information on quality control.
1.6 Units—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.
1.7 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 6, 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
1.8 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 specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on Plastic Piping Systems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F17.26 on Olefin Based
Pipe.

new compound is suitable for reextrusion into pipe, when blended with new compound of the same thermoplastic pipe material
designation code and the same or greater oxidative resistance classification. Pipe containing rework material shall meet the
requirements of this specification.
5. Requirements
5.1 Workmanship—The pipe shall be homogeneous throughout and essentially uniform in color, opacity, density, and other
properties. The inside and outside surfaces shall be semimatte or glossy in appearance (depending on the PE compound) and free
of chalking, sticky, or tacky material. The surfaces shall be free of excessive bloom, that is, slight bloom is acceptable. The pipe
walls shall be free of cracks, holes, blisters, voids, foreign inclusion, or other defects that are visible to the naked eye and that may
affect the wall integrity. Holes deliberately placed in perforated pipe are acceptable. Bloom or chalking may develop in pipe
exposed to direct rays of the sun (ultraviolet radiant energy) for extended periods and, consequently, these requirements do not
apply to pipe after extended exposure to direct rays of the sun.
5.2 Dimensions and Tolerances:
5.2.1 Outside Diameters—These shall be in accordance with Table 2, Table 4, or Table 6 when measured in accordance with Test
Method D2122 at any point not closer than 300 mm (11.8 in.) to the cut end of a length of pipe. Conditioning to standard
temperature without regard to relative humidity is required.
5.2.2 Wall Thicknesses—The minimum thicknesses shall be in accordance with Table 3, Table 5, or Table 7 when measured in
accordance with Test Method D2122. Conditioning to standard temperature without regard to relative humidity is required.
5.2.3 Eccentricity—The wall thickness variability as measured and calculated in accordance with Test Method D2122 in any
diametrical cross section of the pipe shall not exceed 12 %.
5.2.4 Toe-In—When measured in accordance with 5.2.1, the outside diameter at the cut end of the pipe shall not be more than
1.5 % smaller than the undistorted outside diameter. Measurement of the undistorted outside diameter shall be made no closer than
1.5 pipe diameters or 11.8 in. (300 mm), whichever distance is less, from the cut end of the pipe. Undistorted outside diameter
shall meet specifications in Table 2, Table 4, or Table 6.
5.2.5 Special Sizes—Where existing system conditions or special local requirements make other diameters or dimension ratios
necessary, other sizes or dimension ratios, or both, shall be acceptable for engineered applications when mutually agreed upon by
the customer and the manufacturer, if the pipe is manufactured from plastic compounds meeting the material requirements of this
specification, and the strength and design requirements are calculated on the same basis as those used in this specification. For
diameters not shown in Table 2, Table 4, or Table 6, the tolerance shall be the same percentage as that used in the corresponding
table for the next smaller listed size. Minimum wall thicknesses for DRs not shown in Table 3, Table 5, or Table 7 or shall be

determined by dividing the average outside diameter by the DR and rounding to three decimal places for inch sized pipes or two
decimal places for metric sized pipes, and the tolerance shall comply with 5.2.3.
5.3 Pressure Test Performance—All pipe shall meet the requirements of 5.3.2 and either 5.3.1 or 5.4.
NOTE 5—The requirements of 5.3.1 and 5.3.2 are for laboratory proof-testing only and should not be interpreted as applicable to in situ testing for
acceptance of installed systems. See appropriate installation and leak testing standards or manufacturer’s recommendations for field testing procedure.
5.3.1 Short-Term Pressurization—Quick burst or non-failure testing shall be conducted per 5.3.1.1 or 5.3.1.2. Test pressure shall
be determined per 3.2.1 except that S shall be the prescribed hoop stress value, and P shall be test pressure.
5.3.1.1 Quick Burst—For pipe nominal 12 in. (315 mm) and smaller diameter, rupture shall be ductile when tested in accordance
with 6.1. The minimum hoop stress shall be 2520 psi (17.4 MPa) for Table 1 density cell 2 materials and 2900 psi (20.0 MPa) for
Table 1 density cell 3 and 4 materials.
5.3.1.2 Non-Failure—When raised to test pressure and held at test pressure for five (5) seconds, pipe shall not rupture, leak, nor
exhibit localized deformation when tested in accordance with 6.1 at a test pressure determined using 2500 psi hoop stress for Table
1 density cell 2 materials, and 3200 psi hoop stress for Table 1 density cell 3 and 4 materials.
5.3.2 Elevated Temperature Sustained Pressure—Elevated-temperature sustained-pressure test for each Table 1 polyethylene pipe
material (material designation) used in production at the facility shall be conducted twice annually per 6.2.
NOTE 6—Elevated temperature sustained pressure tests are intended to verify extrusion processing and are conducted in accordance with the manufacture’s
quality program. See Appendix X4.
5.3.2.1 Passing results are (1) non-failure for all three specimens at a time equal to or greater than the Table 8 “minimum average
time before failure”, or (2) not more than one ductile specimen failure and the average time before failure for all three specimens
shall be greater than the specified “minimum average time before failure” for the selected Table 8 Condition. If more than one
ductile failure occurs before the Table 8 “minimum average time before failure”, it is permissible to conduct one retest at a Table
8 Condition of lower stress and longer minimum average time before failure for the material designation except that for Table 8
Condition 6 no retest is permissible. Brittle failure of any specimen in the test sample when tested at Table 8 Condition 1 through
6 constitutes failure to meet this requirement and no retest is allowed.

5.3.2.2 Provision for retest (if needed)—The retest sample shall be three specimens of the same pipe or tubing size and material
designation from the same time frame as the test sample per 6.2. For the retest, any specimen failure before the “minimum average
time before failure” at the retest condition of lower stress and longer minimum average time before failure constitutes failure to
meet this requirement.
5.4 Apparent Tensile Strength at Yield—For pipe nominal 3-in. (90-mm) diameter and larger, Short-Term Pressurization
requirement, 5.3.1, may be replaced by the apparent tensile strength at yield requirement, 5.4. The minimum apparent tensile
strength at yield when determined in accordance with 6.3 shall be 2520 psi (17.4 MPa) for Table 1 density cell 2 materials and
2900 (20.0 MPa) for Table 1 density cell 3 and 4 materials.
