Abstract

Details characteristics and test methods required for pipes and fittings of unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) structured-wall piping systems. They can be used for non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage systems with pipes of smooth internal and external surfaces, designated as Type B. A range of pipe and fitting sizes are covered, as well as materials, pipe constructions, stiffness classes, application classes, and tolerance classes.
