Designation:F167310Standard Specification forPolyvinylidene Fluoride(PVDF)Corrosive Waste DrainageSystems1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1673;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 specification covers requirements for polyvi-nylidene fluoride drainage systems for corrosive applications.Requirements for material,pipe and fittings are included.Polyvinylidene fluoride includes emulsion/suspension polym-erizationandcopolymersofvinylidenefluoride/hexafluoropropylene produced by either method.1.2 These requirements apply to Schedule 40 and 80 IPS,SDR 32.5,and SDR 21 pipe sizes.Pipe and fittings are to bejoined by heat fusion or mechanical methods using the equip-ment supplied by the manufacturers.1.3 This specification is not intended to provide for inter-changeability between plastic pipe and fittings from differentmanufacturers,but it does allow for transition fittings forjoining one manufacturers product to anothers product,pro-vided the joining technique used is other than heat fusion.1.4 This specification is not for polyvinylidene pressuresystems.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.1.6 Notes and appendixes are not a mandatory part of thisspecification.1.7 The following safety hazard caveat pertains only to thetest method portion,Section 8,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:2D543 Practices for Evaluating the Resistance of Plastics toChemical ReagentsD570 Test Method for Water Absorption of PlasticsD618 Practice for Conditioning Plastics for TestingD883 Terminology Relating to PlasticsD1600 Terminology forAbbreviated Terms Relating to Plas-ticsD2122 Test Method for Determining Dimensions of Ther-moplastic Pipe and FittingsD2321 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)D3222 Specification for Unmodified Poly(Vinylidene Fluo-ride)(PVDF)Molding Extrusion and Coating MaterialsD3311 Specification for Drain,Waste,and Vent(DWV)Plastic Fittings PatternsD5575 Classification System for Copolymers of VinylideneFluoride(VDF)with Other Fluorinated MonomersF412 Terminology Relating to Plastic Piping SystemsF1498 Specification for Taper Pipe Threads 60 for Thermo-plastic Pipe and Fittings2.2 Federal Standard:Fed.Std.No.123 Marking for Shipment32.3 Military Standard:MIL-STD 129 Marking for Shipment and Storage31This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on PlasticPiping Systems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F17.63 on DWV.Current edition approved Aug.1,2010.Published August 2010.Originallyapproved in 1995.Last previous edition approved in 2009 as F1673-04(2009).DOI:10.1520/F1673-10.2For 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.3Available from Standardization Documents Order Desk,DODSSP,Bldg.4,SectionD,700RobbinsAve.,Philadelphia,PA19111-5098,http:/www.dodssp.daps.mil.*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 2.4 Other Standard:Uniform Plumbing Code43.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 Definitions used in this specification are in accordancewith the definitions given in Terminologies D883 and F412 andabbreviations are in accordance with Terminology D1600,unless otherwise indicated.3.1.2 The plumbing terminology used in this specification isin accordance with the definitions given in the UniformPlumbing Code,unless otherwise indicated.4.Classification4.1 GeneralThis specification covers PVDF pipe andfittings made from PVDF or VF/HFP copolymers in Schedule40 and 80 IPS sizes and in SDR 32.5 and SDR 21.4.2 This specification also includes molded fittings and thelarger sizes(8,10,12 in.)of fabricated fittings.5.Materials and Manufacture5.1 Polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF)material for pipe orfittings shall conform to
