Designation:F89110Standard Specification forCoextruded Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Plastic Pipe With aCellular Core1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F891;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 coextruded poly(vinyl chlo-ride)(PVC)plastic pipe with a cellular core and concentricinner and outer solid layers,and is produced using a multilayercoextrusion die for nonpressure use in three series:an IPSSchedule 40 series;a PS series with an iron pipe size outsidediameter with varying wall thickness as required for pipestiffness of 25,50,and 100;and a sewer and drain series.1.2 The function of this specification is to provide standard-ization of product-technical data and serve as a purchasingguide.1.3 The text of this specification references notes,footnotes,and appendixes which provide explanatory material.The notesand footnotes(excluding those in tables and figures)shall notbe considered as requirements of the specification.NOTE1All the pipe series covered by this specification are permittedto be perforated or belled for joining by solvent cement or belled forjoining by an elastomeric seal(gasket).Because this pipe is ODcontrolled,the inside diameter will vary,and therefore,the pipe ID is notsuitable for use as a socket.(For more information see SpecificationD2672.)NOTE2This standard specifies dimensional,performance and testrequirements for plumbing and fluid handling applications,but does notaddress venting of combustion gases.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.1.5 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.NOTE3Specifications related to this specification are as follows:D2665,D2729,D3034,F512,F758,and F789.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D618 Practice for Conditioning Plastics for TestingD1600 Terminology forAbbreviated Terms Relating to Plas-ticsD2122 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 ImmersionD2321 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 LoadingD2444 Test Method for Determination of the Impact Resis-tance of Thermoplastic Pipe and Fittings by Means of aTup(Falling Weight)D2564 Specification for Solvent Cements for Poly(VinylChloride)(PVC)Plastic Piping SystemsD2665 Specification for Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)PlasticDrain,Waste,and Vent Pipe and FittingsD2672 Specification for Joints for IPS PVC Pipe UsingSolvent CementD2729 Specification for Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)SewerPipe and FittingsD2855 Practice for Making Solvent-Cemented Joints withPoly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Pipe and FittingsD3034 Specification for Type PSM Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Sewer Pipe and FittingsD3212 Specification for Joints for Drain and Sewer PlasticPipes Using Flexible Elastomeric SealsD3311 Specification for Drain,Waste,and Vent(DWV)Plastic Fittings PatternsD4396 Specification for Rigid Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)and Chlorinated Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(CPVC)Com-pounds for Plastic Pipe and Fittings Used in Nonpressure1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on PlasticPiping Systems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F17.25 on VinylBased Pipe.Current edition approved May 1,2010.Published June 2010.Originallyapproved in 1985.Last previous edition approved in 2009 as F891 09.DOI:10.1520/F0891-10.2For 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 States1 Applications(Withdrawn 2015)3F402 Practice for Safe Handling of Solvent Cements,Primers,and Cleaners Used for Joining ThermoplasticPipe and FittingsF412 Terminology Relating to Plastic Piping SystemsF477 Specification for Elastomeric Seals(Gaskets)for Join-ing Plastic PipeF512 Specification for Smooth-Wall Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Conduit and Fittings for Underground InstallationF
