1, Scope
L.A. This specification covers chlorinated poly(vinyl chlo-
ride) (CPVC) pipe made in Schedule 40 and 80 sizes and
Dressure-rated for water (see appendix). Included are criteria
for classifying CPVC plastic pipe materials and CPVC plastic
pipe, system of nomenclature for CPVC plastic pipe, and.
Tequirements and test methods for materials, workmanship,
dimensions, sustained pressure, burst pressure, Natening, and
‘extrusion quality. Methods of marking are also given
Nowe 1—The CPVC pipe covered by this specification was covered
peviouly in Speciscaton 1785.

1.2 The products covered by this specification are intended
for use with the dstibuton of pressurized liquids only, which
‘are chemically compatible with the piping materials. Duc to
nteent hazards associated with toting components and sys
tems with compressed air or other compressed gases some
‘manufacturers donot allow paeumati testing oftheir products.
Consult with specific producUcomponent manufacturers for
their specific testing procedures prior to pneumatic testing.

3. Terminology
3.1 Delinisions—Defintions ate in accondance with Term
nology F412, and abbreviations are in accordance with Ter-
tminology D 1600, unless otherwise specified. The abbreviation
for chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) is CPV.
‘32 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:
3.2.1 hydrostatic design seress—the estimated maximum
Aensile stress the material is capable of withstanding continu-
‘ously with a high degree of certainty that failure of the pipe
‘ill not occur, This stress is circumferential when intemal
Iydrostatic water pressure i applied
3.22 pressure rating (PR)—the estimated maximum water
pressure the pipe is capable of withstanding continuously with
[mhigh degre of certainty that failure ofthe pipe will ot occur
3.23 relation benween dimensions, design stress, and pres-
sure rating—The following expression, commonly known as
¢ ISO equation” js used in this specification to relate
dimensions, hydrostatic design stress, and pressure rating
Bye = (Yoin= 1

average outside diameter, in. [mm], and
‘minimum wall thickness, in, [rm].
3.24 standard thermoplastic pipe materials designation
‘eqde—The pipe materials designation code shall consist ofthe
Abbreviation CPVC for the type of plastic, followed by the
‘ASTM type and grade in Arabic numerals and the design stress
Jn units of 100 psi (0.7 MPa) with any decimal figures dropped.
‘When the design stress code contains less than two figures, a
cipher shall be used before the number. Thus a_ complete
Inaterial code shall consist of four letters and four figures for
(CPVC plastic pipe materials (see Section 5).
