Draft Details

1.1 General

This Standard covers molecularly oriented polyvinylchloride (PVCO) pipe intended for use in pressure applications such as water mains, sewer force mains, and process piping.

Note: This Standard does not address chemical compatibility between PVCO pipe and process fluids. Where PVCO pipe is to be used in non-water applications, the manufacturer should be consulted.

1.2 Joining method

PVCO complying with this Standard is not suitable for solvent cementing and is intended to be joined by gasketed joints.

1.3 Requirements

This Standard specifies requirements for materials, quality of work, dimensions, markings, hydrostatic sustained pressure, extrusion, impact resistance, and quality for PVCO pipe.
