Designation:F71413Standard Specification forPolyethylene(PE)Plastic Pipe(DR-PR)Based on OutsideDiameter1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F714;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of originaladoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.Anumber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscriptepsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers polyethylene(PE)pipe madein dimensions based on outside diameters of 90 mm(3.500 in.)and larger.1.2 Three standard outside diameter sizing systems aredetailed:one known as the ISO metric system,one known asthe IPS system,and the other known as the DIPS system.See5.2.5 for guidelines for special sizes.1.3 The piping is intended for new construction and inser-tion renewal of old piping systems used for the transport ofwater,municipal sewage,domestic sewage,industrial processliquids,effluents,slurries,etc.,in both pressure and nonpres-sure systems.NOTE1The user should consult the manufacturer to ensure that anydamage to the polyethylene pipe caused by the material being transportedwill not affect the service life beyond limits acceptable to the user.1.4 All pipes produced under this specification are pressure-rated.See Appendix X5 for information on pressure rating.NOTE2References and material descriptions for PE2406,PE3406,PE3408 and materials having a HDB of 1450 psi have been removed fromSpecification F714 due to changes in Specification D3350 and PPI TR-3.For removed designations,refer to previous editions of SpecificationF714,Specification D3350,PPI TR-3 and PPI TR-4.The removal of thesematerials does not affect pipelines that are in service.See Notes 9 and 9.1.5 This specification includes criteria for choice of rawmaterial,together with performance requirements and testmethods for determining conformance with the requirements.1.6 Quality-control measures are to be taken by manufac-turers.See Appendix X4 for general information on qualitycontrol.1.7 In referee decisions,the SI units shall be used formetric-sized pipe and inch-pound units for pipe sized in the IPSsystem(ANSI B36.10)and DIPS system.In all cases,thevalues given in parentheses are provided for information only.1.8 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to thetest methods portion,Section 6,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:2D1238 Test Method for Melt Flow Rates of Thermoplasticsby Extrusion PlastometerD1598 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 FittingsD2290 Test Method for Apparent Hoop Tensile Strength ofPlastic or Reinforced Plastic PipeD2321 Practice for Underground Installation of Thermoplas-tic Pipe for Sewers and Other Gravity-Flow ApplicationsD2412 Test Method for Determination of External LoadingCharacteristics of Plastic Pipe by Parallel-Plate LoadingD2837 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 MaterialsF412 Terminology Relating to Plastic Piping SystemsF585 Guide for Insertion of Flexible Polyethylene Pipe IntoExisting Sewers2.2 ANSI Standard:B36.10 Standard Dimensions of Steel Pipe(IPS)31This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on PlasticPiping Systems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F17.26 on OlefinBased Pipe.Current edition approved June 1,2013.Published June 2013.Originallyapproved in 1981.Last previous edition approved in 2012 as F714 12a.DOI:10.1520/F0714-13.2For 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 American National Standards Institute(ANSI),25 W.43rd St.,4th Floor,New York,NY 10036,http:/www.ansi.org.*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 States1 2.3 ISO Standards:161 Thermoplastic Pipe for the Transport of Fluids-Nomi-nal Outside Diameters and Nominal Pressures43607 Polyethylene Pipe:Tolerances on Outside Diametersand Wall Thicknesses44427 Polyethylene Pipes and Fittings for Water SupplySpecification42.4 Federal Standard:Fed.Std.No.
