ASTM F2947/F2947M-21a

Standard Specification for 150 to 1500 mm [6 to 60 in.] Annular Corrugated Profile-Wall Polyethylene (PE) Pipe and Fittings for Sanitary Sewer Applications

ABSTRACT
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 150 to 1500 mm [6 to 60 in.]. The requirements are intended to provide pipe and fittings suitable for underground use for non-pressure sanitary sewer systems. This specification also describes the materials and manufacture, general requirements (workmanship, dimensions and tolerance, pipe stiffness, pipe flattening, pipe impact strength, fittings and joining systems, slow crack growth resistance-pipe, structural design), test methods (referee testing, quality control testing), inspection, rejection and rehearing, certification, markings, packaging, and quality assurance.
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 150 to 1500 mm [6 to 60 in.].  
1.2 The requirements of this specification are intended to provide pipe and fittings suitable for underground use for non-pressure sanitary sewer systems. Pipe and fittings produced in accordance with this specification shall be installed in compliance with Practice D2321.  
1.3 This specification covers pipe and fittings with an interior liner using a corrugated exterior profile (Fig. 1).  
1.4 The products manufactured under this specification use either virgin or recycled (post-industrial or post-consumer) materials in accordance with the requirements specified for each.  
1.5 Units—The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.  
1.6 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Section 7, 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.  
1.7 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.
