Title
Standard Practice for Making Solvent-Cemented Joints with Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) Pipe and Fittings
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Mar 10, 1996
Scope:
This practice describes a procedure for making joints with poly(vinyl
chloride) plastic (PVC)
pipes, both plain ends and fittings, and bell ends, by means of
solvent cements. These procedures
are general ones for PVC piping. In non-pressure applications,
simplified procedures may be used.
Manufacturers should supply specific instructions for their particular
products, if and when it
seems necessary.
The techniques covered are applicable only to PVC pipe, both plain and
bell-end, and fittings of
the same classes as described in Specification D 1784.
Pipe and fittings are manufactured within certain tolerances to
provide for the small variations in
the extrusion, belling, and molding processes and are not to exact
size. A partial list of
standards for PVC pipe, fittings, and cements suitable for use in
making solvent-cemented joints is
given in Appendix X1.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the
standard. The values given in
parentheses are for information only.
The text of this practice 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 practice.
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.
