1 Scope 1.1 Scope of this Standard This Standard specifies requirements for thermoplastic pressure piping. It includes reference publications, definitions, abbreviations, general requirements for materials and manufactured pipe and fittings, relevant test methods, and marking requirements. Notes: 1) The terms “pipe” and “piping”, as well as “tube” and “tubing”, are used interchangeably in…

1 Scope 1.1 General This Standard covers polyethylene (PE) pipe and tubing, and fittings for use in transporting potable or non-potable water, or other applications such as wastewater forcemains, reclaimed water, conduit, golf or commercial irrigation, or water-based ground source geothermal systems, in either buried or above- ground installations. 1.2 Requirements This Standard specifies…

1 Scope 1.1 General This Standard covers rigid polyvinylchloride (PVC) injection-moulded fittings that have gasketed joints and are intended for use in pressure applications such as water mains, water service piping, process piping, and fire lines. Fittings covered by this Standard are suitable for use with PVC pipes having outside diameter dimensions of cast iron pipe. Only one pressure rating…

1 Scope 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…

1 Scope 1.1 General This Standard covers rigid polyvinylchloride (PVC) pipe and fittings intended for use in pressure applications such as water mains, water service piping, and process piping. The fittings covered by this Standard include moulded, solvent-cemented, gasketed, or threaded fittings, and fittings that have been fabricated for use with any joining method. Notes: 1) Where PVC…

1 Scope 1.1 General This Standard covers socket- and saddle-type polyethylene (PE) electrofusion fittings that are used to join PE pipe where the heat source is an integral part of the fitting. Note: Fittings covered by this Standard are connected to an electrical power source during the fusion process. Power sources, cables, and electrical connections are covered by the Canadian Electrical…

1 Scope 1.1 General This Standard covers polyethylene (PE) pipe, tubing, and fittings for use in gas mains and services, including gathering, transmission, and distribution of fuel gases containing not more than 1% aromatic hydrocarbons. 1.2 Fittings and connections This Standard covers all types of fittings and connections used in plastic gas pipe systems, including a) plastic-to-metal…

1 Scope 1.1 General This Standard specifies requirements for crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) tubing systems that comprise tubing and fittings. Tubing covered by this Standard is made in SDR 9. Systems are pressure rated at three temperatures: 1105 kPa at 23 °C, 690 kPa at 82 °C, and 550 kPa at 93 °C, with a maximum working pressure of 690 kPa at 82 °C. Systems are intended for use in potable…

1 Scope 1.1 General This Standard covers chlorinated polyvinylchloride (CPVC) pipe, tubing, and fittings in the following sizes and uses: a) SDR 11, and Schedules 40 and 80 pipe in pipe sizes whose dimension ratio does not exceed 11, for use in hot- and cold-water distribution systems at a maximum working pressure of 690 kPa and a maximum working temperature of 82 °C; and b) SDR 13.5 and…

1 Scope 1.1 General This Standard covers polyethylene/aluminum/polyethylene (PE-AL-PE) macrocomposite pipe consisting of a welded aluminum tube laminated by a melt adhesive to layers of polyethylene (PE) inside and outside the aluminum tube. The pipes covered in this Standard are pressure rated for 1380 kPa at 23 °C, 1035 kPa at 60 °C, or 690 kPa at 82 °C. Systems are intended for use in…
