Designation:F2905/F2905M13Standard Specification forBlack Crosslinked Polyethylene(PEX)Line Pipe,Fittingsand Joints For Oil and Gas Producing Applications1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2905/F2905M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers outside diameter controlled,pressure rated,black metric-sized and IPS-sized crosslinkedpolyethylene(PEX)pipe,fittings and joints,made in pipedimension ratios ranging from 6 to 17.Included are require-mentsandtestmethodsformaterial,workmanship,dimensions,burst pressure,hydrostatic sustained pressure,stabilizer functionality,bent-pipe hydrostatic pressure,degreeof crosslinking,and chemical resistance.Requirements for pipeand fittings markings are also given.The pipe,fittings andjoints covered by this specification are intended for pressure ornon-pressure oil and gas producing applications to conveyfluids such as oil,dry or wet gas,gas gathering,multiphasefluids,and non-potable oilfield water.This specification doesnot cover pipe for gas distribution applications.1.2 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.1.3 UnitsThe values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard.Thevalues stated in each system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,each system shall be used independently of the other.Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.NOTE1Metric sized(SI units)pipe should only be joined withcorresponding metric sized fittings,and inch sized pipe should only bejoined with corresponding inch sized fittings.Inch sized fittings should notbe used for metric sized pipe,and metric sized fittings should not be usedfor IPS inch sized pipe.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D618 Practice for Conditioning Plastics for TestingD792 Test Methods for Density and Specific Gravity(Rela-tive Density)of Plastics by DisplacementD1505 Test Method for Density of Plastics by the Density-Gradient TechniqueD1598 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-ticsD1603 Test Method for Carbon Black Content in OlefinPlasticsD2122 Test Method for Determining Dimensions of Ther-moplastic Pipe and FittingsD2290 Test Method for Apparent Hoop Tensile Strength ofPlastic or Reinforced Plastic PipeD2765 Test Methods for Determination of Gel Content andSwell Ratio of Crosslinked Ethylene PlasticsD2837 Test Method for Obtaining Hydrostatic Design Basisfor Thermoplastic Pipe Materials or Pressure Design Basisfor Thermoplastic Pipe ProductsD4218 Test Method for Determination of Carbon BlackContent in Polyethylene Compounds By the Muffle-Furnace TechniqueF412 Terminology Relating to Plastic Piping SystemsF1055 Specification for Electrofusion Type PolyethyleneFittings for Outside Diameter Controlled Polyethyleneand Crosslinked Polyethylene(PEX)Pipe and TubingF1948 Specification for Metallic Mechanical Fittings forUse on Outside Diameter Controlled Thermoplastic GasDistribution Pipe and TubingF2619 Specification for High-Density Polyethylene(PE)Line Pipe1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on PlasticPiping Systems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F17.68 on EnergyPiping Systems.Current edition approved Aug.1,2013.Published September 2013.DOI:10.1520/F2905-132For 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.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 2.2 Federal Standard:3FED-STD-123 Marking for Shipment(Civil Agencies)2.3 Military Standard:3MIL-STD-129 Marking for Shipment and Storage2.4 ISO Standards:4ISO 1167 Thermoplastics pipes,fittings and assemblies forthe conveyance of fluids Determination of the resis-tance to internal pressure Part 1:General method ISOISO 14531-2 Plastics pipes and fittings Crosslinkedpolyethylene(PE-X)pipe systems for the conveyance ofgaseous fuels Metric
