Designation:D224120An American National StandardStandard Specification forPoly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Pressure-Rated Pipe(SDRSeries)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2241;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()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC)pipe made in standard thermoplastic pipe dimension ratios andpressure rated for water(see appendix).Included are criteriafor classifying PVC plastic pipe materials and PVC plasticpipe,a system of nomenclature for PVC plastic pipe,andrequirements and test methods for materials,workmanship,dimensions,sustained pressure,burst pressure,flattening,andextrusion quality.Methods 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 safetyhazards should a system fail for any reason.NOTE2This standard specifies dimensional,performance and testrequirements for plumbing and fluid handling applications,but does notaddress venting of combustion gases.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 standard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.5 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to thetest methods portion,Section 8,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,health,andenvironmental practices and determine the applicability ofregulatory limitations prior to use.A specific precautionarystatement is given in Note 9.NOTE3CPVC plastic pipe(SDR-PR),which was formerly includedin this specification,is now covered by Specification F442/F442M.NOTE4The sustained and burst pressure test requirements,and thepressure ratings in the appendix,are calculated from stress values obtainedfrom tests made on pipe 4 in.(100 mm)and smaller.However,testsconducted on pipe as large as 24 in.(600 mm)in diameter have shownthese stress values to be valid for larger diameter PVC pipe.NOTE5PVC pipe made to this specification is often belled for use asline pipe.For details of the solvent cement bell,see Specification D2672and for details of belled elastomeric joints,see Specifications D3139 andD3212.1.6 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D618 Practice for Conditioning Plastics for TestingD1598 Test Method for Time-to-Failure of Plastic PipeUnder Constant Internal PressureD1599 Test Method for Resistance to Short-Time HydraulicPressure of Plastic Pipe,Tubing,and FittingsD1600 Terminology forAbbreviated Terms Relating to Plas-ticsD1784 Classification System and Basis for Specification forRigid Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Compounds and Chlo-rinated Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(CPVC)CompoundsD2122 Test Method for Determining Dimensions of Ther-moplastic Pipe and FittingsD2152 Test Method for Adequacy of Fusion of ExtrudedPoly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Pipe and Molded Fittings byAcetone Immersion1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on PlasticPiping Systemsand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F17.25 on VinylBased Pipe.Current edition approved Aug.1,2020.Published August 2020.Originallyapproved in 1964.Last previous edition approved in 2015 as D2241 15.DOI:10.1520/D2241-20.2For 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.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Ha
