Title
Standard Specification for Chlorinated Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (CPVC) Plastic Hot- and Cold-Water Distribution Systems
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Aug 1, 2009
Scope:
This specification covers requirements, test methods, and
methods of marking for chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) plastic
hot- and cold-water distribution system components made in one
standard dimension ratio and intended for water service up to and
including 180°F (82°C). These components comprise pipe and tubing,
socket-type fittings, street fittings, plastic-to-metal transition
fittings, solvent cements, and adhesives. Requirements and methods
of test are included for materials, workmanship, dimensions and
tolerances, hydrostatic sustained pressure strength, and
thermocycling resistance. The components covered by this
specification are intended for use in residential and commercial,
hot and cold, potable water distribution systems.
The products covered by this specification are intended for use
with the distribution of pressurized liquids only, which are
chemically compatible with the piping materials. Due to inherent
hazards associated with testing components and systems with
compressed air or other compressed gases some manufacturers do not
allow pneumatic testing of their products. Consult with specific
product/component manufacturers for their specific testing
procedures prior to pneumatic testing.
NOTE 1—Pressurized (compressed) air or other compressed gases
contain large amounts of stored energy which present serious saftey
hazards should a system fail for any reason.
The text of this specification references notes, footnotes, and
appendixes which provide explanatory material. These notes and
footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be
considered as requirements of the specification.
The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to
be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each
system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall
be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two
systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
NOTE 2—Suggested hydrostatic design stresses and hydrostatic
pressure ratings for pipe, tubing, and fittings are listed in
Appendix X1. Design, assembly, and installation considerations are
discussed in Appendix X2. An optional performance qualification and
an in-plant quality control program are recommended in Appendix
X3.
The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test
method portion, Sections 9 and 10, 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.
*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this
standard.
