Designation:F441/F441M15Standard Specification forChlorinated Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(CPVC)Plastic Pipe,Schedules 40 and 801This standard is issued under the fixed designation F441/F441M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()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 chlorinated poly(vinyl chlo-ride)(CPVC)pipe made in Schedule 40 and 80 sizes andpressure-rated for water(see appendix).Included are criteriafor classifying CPVC plastic pipe materials and CPVC plasticpipe,a system of nomenclature for CPVC plastic pipe,andrequirements and test methods for materials,workmanship,dimensions,sustained pressure,burst pressure,flattening,andextrusion quality.Methods of marking are also given.NOTE1The CPVC pipe covered by this specification was coveredpreviously in Specification D1785.NOTE2The sustained and burst pressure test requirements,and thepressure ratings in the appendix,are calculated from stress values obtainedfrom tests made on pipe 2 in.50 mm and smaller.However,tests onlarger pipe have shown these stress values to be valid.1.2 The products covered by this specification are intendedfor use with the distribution of pressurized liquids only,whichare chemically compatible with the piping materials.Due toinherent hazards associated with testing components and sys-tems with compressed air or other compressed gases somemanufacturers do not allow pneumatic testing of their products.Consult with specific product/component manufacturers fortheir specific testing procedures prior to pneumatic testing.NOTE3Pressurized(compressed)air or other compressed gasescontain large amounts of stored energy which present serious safteyhazards should a system fail for any reason.1.3 The text of this specification references notes,footnotes,and appendixes which provide explanatory material.Thesenotes and footnotes(excluding those in tables and figures)shallnot be considered as requirements of the specification.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.5 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to thetest methods 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.A specific precautionary statement is givenin Note 7.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D618 Practice for Conditioning Plastics for TestingD1598 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-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 120D2122 Test Method for Determining Dimensions of Ther-moplastic Pipe and FittingsD2837 Test Method for Obtaining Hydrostatic Design Basisfor Thermoplastic Pipe Materials or Pressure Design Basisfor Thermoplastic Pipe ProductsF412 Terminology Relating to Plastic Piping Systems2.2 Federal Standard:Fed.Std.No.123 Marking for Shipment(Civil Agencies)31This 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 Aug.1,2015.Published November 2015.Originallyapproved in 1974.Last previous edition approved in 2013 as F441/F441M 131.DOI:10.1520/F0441_F0441M-15.2For 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 2.3 Military Standard:MIL-STD-129 Marking for Shipment and Storage32.4NSF Standards:Standard No.14 for Plastic Piping Components and RelatedMaterials4Standard No.61 for Drinking Water Systems ComponentsHealth Effects43.
