Designation:F167411Standard Test Method forJoint Restraint Products for Use with PVC Pipe1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1674;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 test method describes a procedure for qualifyingthe performance of joint restraint products for use on PVCpressure pipe systems by evaluating the effect of the jointrestraint product on the performance characteristics of PVCpipe during cyclic pressure tests and static pressure tests.ThePVC pipe property values referenced in this test method are forthe 12454 compound as described in Specification D1784 anda 4,000 HDB shall be obtained by categorizing the LTHS inaccordance with Table 1 in Test Method D2837.That includes,but is not limited to,pipe produced in accordance with thefollowing standards:Specifications D1785 and D2241,AWWAC900,and AWWA C905.1.2 This test method determines the short-term performanceof a joint restraint product on PVC pipe,which involves thetesting of restrained joint test sections to the minimum burstpressure requirements of the pipe to determine quick burstperformance.1.3 This test method determines the long-term effect of ajoint restraint product on PVC pipe,which involves the testingof restrained joint test sections to the sustained pressurerequirements of the pipe for a period of 1000 h.1.4 This test method addresses restraint products that arerated at the full pressure capacity of the PVC pipe on whichthey are used.There are joint restraint devices available that arenot rated at the full pressure capacity of the pipe.While thoseproducts have proven acceptable and useful in the marketplace,this test method does not apply to those products.1.5 This test method determines the performance of a jointrestraint product on PVC pipe subjected to cyclic pressuresurges.The performance is compared to the baseline perfor-mance of pipe without joint restraint products established byHerbert W.Vinson.21.6 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard.The values in parentheses are for informationpurposes only.1.7 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:3D1784 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 120D2241 Specification for Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Pressure-Rated Pipe(SDR Series)D2837 Test Method for Obtaining Hydrostatic Design Basisfor Thermoplastic Pipe Materials or Pressure Design Basisfor Thermoplastic Pipe ProductsF412 Terminology Relating to Plastic Piping Systems2.2 AWWA Standards:AWWA C900 Polyvinyl Chloride(PVC)Pressure Pipe andFabricated Fittings,4 In.through 12 In.(100 mm through300 mm),for Water Distribution4AWWA C905 Polyvinyl Chloride(PVC)Pressure Pipe andFabricated Fittings Pipe,Nominal Diameters 14 In.through 48 In.(350 mm through 1,200 mm),for WaterTransmission and Distribution43.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsDefinitions are in accordance with Termi-nology F412 unless otherwise specified.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 base hoop stressthe minimum hoop stress duringcyclic testing;the base hoop stress shall be one half the peakhoop stress.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on PlasticPiping Systems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F17.20 on Joining.Current edition approved April 1,2011.Published April 2011.Originallyapproved in 1996.Last previous edition approved in 2005 as F167405.DOI:10.1520/F1674-11.2Vinson,Herbert W.,Response of PVC Pipe to Large,Repetitive PressureSurges,International Conference on Underground Plastic Pipe,American Societyof Civil Engineers,New York,NY,1981,p.491.3For 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.4Available from American Water Works Association(AWWA),6666 W.QuincyAve.,Denver,CO 80235,http:/www.awwa.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 3.2.2 base pressurethe internal pressure required toachieve the base hoop stress in the pipe wall.3.2.3 cyclean increase in the internal pressure in a cyclicpressure test specimen from the base pressure to the peakpressure,followe
