Designation:F128217An American National StandardStandard Specification forPolyethylene/Aluminum/Polyethylene(PE-AL-PE)CompositePressure Pipe1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1282;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 a coextruded polyethylenecomposite pressure pipe with a welded aluminum tube rein-forcement between the inner and outer layers.The inner andouter polyethylene layers are bonded to the aluminum tube bya melt adhesive.Included is a system of nomenclature for thepolyethylene-aluminum-polyethylene(PE-AL-PE)pipes,therequirements and test methods for materials,the dimensionsand strengths of the component tubes and finished pipe,adhesion tests,and the burst and sustained pressure perfor-mance.Also given are the requirements and methods ofmarking.The pipe covered by this specification is intended foruse in potable water distribution systems for residential andcommercial applications,water service,underground irrigationsystems,and radient panel heating systems,baseboard,snow-and ice-melt systems,and gases that are compatible withcomposite pipe and fittings.1.2 This specification relates only to composite pipes incor-porating a welded aluminum tube having both internal andexternal polyethylene layers.The welded aluminium tube iscapable of sustaining internal pressures.Pipes consisting ofmetallic layers not welded together and plastic layers otherthan polyethylene are outside the scope of this specification.1.3 Specifications for connectors for use with pipe meetingthe requirements of this specification are given in Annex A1.1.4 This specification excludes crosslinked polyethylene-aluminum-crosslinked polyethylene pipes(see SpecificationF1281).1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.6 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest methods portion,Section 9,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.1.7 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-ticsD2122 Test Method for Determining Dimensions of Ther-moplastic Pipe and FittingsD2837 Test Method for Obtaining Hydrostatic Design Basisfor Thermoplastic Pipe Materials or Pressure Design Basisfor Thermoplastic Pipe ProductsD3350 Specification for Polyethylene Plastics Pipe and Fit-tings MaterialsE8/E8M Test Methods for Tension Testing of Metallic Ma-terialsF412 Terminology Relating to Plastic Piping SystemsF1281 SpecificationforCrosslinkedPolyethylene/Aluminum/Crosslinked Polyethylene(PEX-AL-PEX)Pressure PipeF1974 SpecificationforMetalInsertFittingsforPolyethylene/Aluminum/Polyethylene and CrosslinkedPolyethylene/Aluminum/Crosslinked Polyethylene Com-posite Pressure Pipe1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on PlasticPiping Systems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F17.11 onComposite.Current edition approved March 15,2017.Published April 2017.Originallyapproved in 1990.Last previous edition approved in 2010 as F1282 10.DOI:10.1520/F1282-17.2For 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 Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 2.2 NSF Standard:Standard No.14 Plastics Piping System Components andRelated Materials3Standard No.61 Drinking Water Sys
