Standard Specification for Corrugated Polyethylene (PE) Pipe and Fittings (Withdrawn 2015)

ABSTRACT
This specification covers the physical and dimensional requirements and associated test methods for corrugated polyethylene (PE) pipe and fittings intended for underground applications, particularly in soil drainage and septic field leach beds, where soil support is given to the flexible walls. Pipe and fittings shall adhere to physical test requirements such as elongation, brittleness, pipe stiffness, and perforations.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers requirements and test methods for materials, marking dimensions, workmanship, elongation, brittleness, pipe stiffness, and perforations for corrugated polyethylene (PE) pipe and fittings in nominal sizes of 3 to 6 in., inclusive.  
1.2 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..Note 1—Along with sizes 3 to 6 in. covered in this specification, sizes 4 to 24 in. are described in Specification F667.  
1.3 The text of this specification references notes and footnotes that provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the specification.  
1.4 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 8, 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.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
This specification covers requirements and test methods for materials, marking dimensions, workmanship, elongation, brittleness, pipe stiffness, and perforations for corrugated polyethylene (PE) pipe and fittings in nominal sizes of 3 to 6 in., inclusive.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee F17 on Plastic Piping Systems, this specification was withdrawn in April 2015 and replaced by F667/F667M Specification for 3 through 24 in. Corrugated Polyethylene Pipe and Fittings.1
