Full Description

This standard describes polyethylene (PE) pressure pipe and tubing made from material having standard PE code designation PE4710* and intended for use in potable water, reclaimed water, and wastewater service. Polyethylene pipe ranges in nominal size from 3/4 in. (19 mm)? through 3 in. (76 mm) and conforms to the outside-diameter (OD) dimensions of iron pipe size (IPS) or to the inside-diameter (ID) dimensions of IPS pipe. Polyethylene tubing ranges in size from 3/4 in. (19 mm) through 2 in. (51 mm) and conforms to the OD dimensions of copper tube size (CTS). Included in this standard are criteria for classifying PE plastic pipe materials, a system of nomenclature for PE plastic pipe, and requirements and test methods for materials, pipe, and tubing. Methods of marking are also given.

This standard can be referenced when purchasing and receiving PE pressure pipe and tubing for use in potable water, wastewater, and reclaimed water systems. This standard can be used as a guide for manufacturing this type of pressure pipe and tubing. The stipulations of this standard apply when this document has been referenced and then only to 3/4-in. (19-mm) through 3-in. (76-mm) PE pipe and ?-in. (19-mm) through 2-in. (51-mm) tubing for potable water, wastewater, and reclaimed water service.
