Designation:F48014Standard Specification forThermoplastic Well Casing Pipe and Couplings Made inStandard Dimension Ratios(SDR),SCH 40 and SCH 801This standard is issued under the fixed designation F480;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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers water well casing pipe andcouplings made from thermoplastic materials in standarddimension ratios(SDR),SCH 40 and SCH 80.1.2 Specifications are provided for the application of thesematerials to water well and ground water monitoring applica-tions.Flush threaded joint systems are included for screen andcasing used primarily in the construction of ground watermonitoring wells(see Practice D5092).1.3 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.(See IEEE/ASTM SI 10.)NOTE1Certain field conditions may require alternative materials toensure safe long-term use.The user should consult federal,state,and localcodes governing the use of thermoplastic materials for well casing ormonitor pipe.NOTE2This standard specifies dimensional,performance and testrequirements for plumbing and fluid handling applications,but does notaddress venting of combustion gases.1.4 Although the pipe sizes and SDR values listed in thisspecification are generally available,numerous other plasticpipes in Schedule 40 and 80 wall,other SDR values andvarious outside diameters have been used for well casing.Suchproducts are often selected because they fulfill certain needsand Annex A1 includes a list of these Plastic Pipe Well CasingSpecials.1.5 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to thetest method 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:2D618 Practice for Conditioning Plastics for TestingD638 Test Method for Tensile Properties of PlasticsD653 Terminology Relating to Soil,Rock,and ContainedFluidsD1527 Specification for Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene(ABS)Plastic Pipe,Schedules 40 and 80(Withdrawn2013)3D1600 Terminology forAbbreviated Terms Relating to Plas-ticsD1784 Specification for Rigid Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Compounds and Chlorinated Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(CPVC)CompoundsD1785 Specification for Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)PlasticPipe,Schedules 40,80,and 120D1892 Specification for Styrene-Butadiene Molding andExtrusion Materials(Withdrawn 1987)3D1898 Practice for Sampling of Plastics(Withdrawn 1998)3D2122 Test Method for Determining Dimensions of Ther-moplastic Pipe and FittingsD2235 Specification for Solvent Cement for Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene(ABS)Plastic Pipe and FittingsD2241 Specification for Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Pressure-Rated Pipe(SDR Series)D2282 Specification for Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene(ABS)Plastic Pipe(Withdrawn 2006)3D2412 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 Systems1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on PlasticPiping Systems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F17.61 on Water.Current edition approved March 1,2014.Published March 2014.Originallyapproved in 1976.Last previous edition approved in 2012 as F480 12.DOI:10.1520/F0480-14.2For 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.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.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 D2855 Practice for Making Solvent-Cemented Joints withPoly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Pipe and FittingsD3122 Specification for Solvent Cements for Styrene-Rubber(SR)Plastic Pipe and FittingsD3965 Classification System and Basis for Specifications forRigid Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene(ABS)Materialsfor Pipe and FittingsD5092 Practice for Design and Installation of GroundwaterMonitoring WellsF402 Practice fo
