ASTM F1483-98 - 10.12.1998
 
1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers requirements for materials, dimensions, sustained pressure, accelerated regression testing, burst pressure, flattening, impact resistance, workmanship, and methods of marking for oriented poly(vinyl chloride) (PVCO) pipe for pressure applications.

1.2 The PVCO pipe shall be joined using elastomeric seals (gaskets). The joint shall meet the requirements of Specification D3139 and the elastomeric seal shall meet the requirements of Specification F477. The PVCO shall not be joined by solvent cementing.

1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values in parentheses are given for information only.

1.4 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Section 8 of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, 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.
