Designation:D 1527 99(Reapproved 2005)An American National StandardStandard Specification forAcrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene(ABS)Plastic Pipe,Schedules 40 and 801This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 1527;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers acrylonitrile-butadienestyrene(ABS)pipe produced by single extrusion or simultaneousmultiple coextrusion,in Schedule 40 and 80 sizes and pressure-rated for water(see Appendix).Included are criteria forclassifying ABS plastic pipe materials and ABS plastic pipe,asystem of nomenclature forABS plastic pipe,and requirementsand test methods for materials,workmanship,dimensions,sustained pressure,burst pressure,and extrusion quality.Meth-ods of marking are also given.1.2 The products covered by this specification are intendedfor use with the distribution of pressurized liquids only,whichare chemically compatible with the piping materials.Due toinherent hazards associated with testing components and sys-tems with compressed air or other compressed gases somemanufacturers do not allow pneumatic testing of their products.Consult with specific product/component manufacturers fortheir specific testing procedures prior to pneumatic testing.NOTE1Pressurized(compressed)air or other compressed gasescontain large amounts of stored energy which present serious safteyhazards should a system fail for any reason.1.3 The text of this specification references notes,footnotes,and appendixes which provide explanatory material.Thesenotes and footnotes(excluding those in tables and figures)shallnot be considered as requirements of the specification.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard.The values given in parentheses are providedfor information purposes only.1.5 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to thetest method portion,Section 7,of this specification.Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is the responsibility of the userof this standard to establish appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D 618 Practice for Conditioning Plastics for TestingD 1598 Test Method for Time-to-Failure of Plastic PipeUnder Constant Internal PressureD 1599 Test Method for Resistance to Short-Time Hydrau-lic Pressure of Plastic Pipe,Tubing,and FittingsD 1600 Terminology for Abbreviated Terms Relating toPlasticsD 2122 Test Method for Determining Dimensions of Ther-moplastic Pipe and FittingsD 2837 Test Method for Obtaining Hydrostatic DesignBasis for Thermoplastic Pipe Materials or Pressure DesignBasis for Thermoplastic Pipe ProductsD 3965 Specification for Rigid Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene(ABS)Compounds for Pipe and FittingsF 412 Terminology Relating to Plastic Piping Systems2.2Federal Standard:Fed.Std.No.123 Marking for Shipments(Civil Agencies)32.3Military Standard:MIL-STD-129 Marking for Shipment and Storage32.4NSF Standards:Standard No.14 for Plastic Piping Components and RelatedMaterials4Standard No.61 for Drinking Water System ComponentsHealth Effects43.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsDefinitions are in accordance with Termi-nology F 412.Abbreviations are in accordance with Terminol-ogy D 1600,unless otherwise indicated.The abbreviation foracrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene plastic is ABS.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on PlasticPiping Systems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F17.61 on Water.Current edition approved August 1,2005.Published August 2005.Originallyapproved in 1958.Last previous edition approved in 1999 as D 1527 99e1.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from Standardization Documents Order Desk,Bldg.4 Section D,700Robbins Ave.,Philadelphia,PA 19111-5094,Attn:NPODS.4Available from the National Sanitation Foundation,P.O.Box 1468,Ann Arbor,MI 48106.1Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959,United States.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene(ABS)pipe and fittingplasticsplastics containing polymers or blends of polymers,or both,in which the minimum butadiene content is 6%,theminimum acrylonitrile content is 15%,the minimum styreneor substituted styrene content,or both,is 15%,and themaximum content of all other monomers is not more than 5%,an
