(Specification)Standard Specification for Chlorinated Poly (Vinyl Chloride) (CPVC) Pipe and Fittings for Chemical Waste Drainage Systems
Standard Specification for Chlorinated Poly (Vinyl Chloride) (CPVC) Pipe and Fittings for Chemical Waste Drainage Systems
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the performance requirements of CPVC pipe, fittings and solvent cements used in chemical waste drainage systems.
1.2 A system is made up of pipe, fittings and solvent cement that meet the requirements of this standard.
Note 1: Consult the manufacturer’s chemical resistance recommendations for chemical waste drainage applications prior to use.
1.3 The text of this specification references notes, footnotes and appendices 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 pressure tests described in this standard are laboratory hydrostatic tests that are intended to verify joint/system integrity. They are not intended for use as field tests of installed systems.
1.5 Due to inherent hazards associated with testing components and systems with compressed air or other compressed gases, no such testing shall be done unless the component manufacturer gives approval in writing.
Note 2: Pressurized (compressed) air or other compressed gases contain large amounts of stored energy, which present serious safety hazards should a system fail for any reason.
1.6 Mechanical joints used for joining pipe and fittings of different materials are provided for in this specification. They include common flanges, couplings, and unions.
1.7 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.
1.8 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.
Note 3: This specification specifies dimensional, performance, and test requirements for fluid handling applications but does not address venting of combustion gases.

8. Test Methods
8.1 Conditioning:
8.1.1 For routine quality control testing, condition the specimens at the room temperature and humidity of the manufacturers
testing facilities for not less than one hour or until the specimens reach room temperature.
8.1.2 For referee purposes, condition and test the specimens before testing, in a standard laboratory atmosphere of 73.4 6 3.6°F
(23 6 2°C) and 50 6 5% relative humidity for not less than 40 hours prior to testing in accordance with Procedure A of Practice
D618.
8.2 CPVC Compound Chemical Resistance—Pipe and fitting materials shall be evaluated in accordance with Test Method D543
practice A, procedures I and II, using the chemicals listed in Table 4. Weight change shall not exceed 2% nor shall apparent tensile
strength change by more than 10 %. In cases where there is a change in the apparent tensile strength greater than 10%, a further
evaluation shall be made after the test specimen is removed from the chemical and conditioned for 72 h. If after 72 h, there is a
minimum of 50% recovery of tensile strength as compared to the unexposed specimen, and that figure is within 610% of the
original tensile strength of the unexposed specimen, the test shall be considered acceptable.
8.3 Solvent Cement Joint Chemical Resistance Integrity Test—Prepare ten pipe test specimens, each having two sections of pipe
connected by a coupling using the manufacturer’s specified solvent cement that is used to join the CPVC chemical waste drainage
