Designation:F2619/F2619M13Standard Specification forHigh-Density Polyethylene(PE)Line Pipe1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2619/F2619M;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.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers requirements and test methodsfor high-density polyethylene(PE)materials,pipe and fittingsfor pressure or non-pressure oil and gas producing applicationsto convey fluids such as oil,dry or wet gas,multiphase fluids,and non-potable oilfield water.This specification does notcover pipe for gas distribution applications.1.1.1 For the purposes of this specification,high-densitypolyethylene material is Specification D3350 density cellclassification 3 or higher.This specification does not covermaterials having Specification D3350 density cell classificationless than 3 such as medium or low density polyethylenematerials.1.1.2 See Specification D2513 for polyethylene pipe andfittings intended for use in the distribution of natural gas,or foruse with liquefied petroleum gas.1.2 UnitsThe values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard.Thevalues stated in each system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,each system shall be used independently of the other.Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.1.3 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:2D638 Test Method for Tensile Properties of PlasticsD1238 Test Method for Melt Flow Rates of Thermoplasticsby Extrusion PlastometerD1598 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-ticsD1603 Test Method for Carbon Black Content in OlefinPlasticsD2122 Test Method for Determining Dimensions of Ther-moplastic Pipe and FittingsD2290 Test Method for Apparent Hoop Tensile Strength ofPlastic or Reinforced Plastic PipeD2513 Specification for Polyethylene(PE)Gas PressurePipe,Tubing,and FittingsD2683 Specification for Socket-Type Polyethylene Fittingsfor Outside Diameter-Controlled Polyethylene Pipe andTubingD2837 Test Method for Obtaining Hydrostatic Design Basisfor Thermoplastic Pipe Materials or Pressure Design Basisfor Thermoplastic Pipe ProductsD3261 Specification for Butt Heat Fusion Polyethylene(PE)Plastic Fittings for Polyethylene(PE)Plastic Pipe andTubingD3350 Specification for Polyethylene Plastics Pipe and Fit-tings MaterialsD4218 Test Method for Determination of Carbon BlackContent in Polyethylene Compounds By the Muffle-Furnace TechniqueF412 Terminology Relating to Plastic Piping SystemsF1055 Specification for Electrofusion Type PolyethyleneFittings for Outside Diameter Controlled Polyethyleneand Crosslinked Polyethylene(PEX)Pipe and TubingF1473 Test Method for Notch Tensile Test to Measure theResistance to Slow Crack Growth of Polyethylene Pipesand ResinsF1973 Specification for Factory Assembled Anodeless Ris-ers and Transition Fittings in Polyethylene(PE)andPolyamide 11(PA11)and Polyamide 12(PA12)Fuel GasDistribution Systems1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on PlasticPiping Systems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F17.68 on EnergyPiping Systems.Current edition approved Dec.1,2013.Published January 2014.originallyapproved in 2007.Last previous edition approved in 2011 as F2619/F2619M11.DOI:10.1520/F2619_F2619M-13.2For 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 F2206 Specification for Fabricated Fittings of Butt-FusedPolyethylene(PE)2.2 Other Documents:CFR 49 Part 192 Transportation of Natural and Other Gas byPipeline:Minimum Federal Safety Standards3Federal Register Vol.71,No.50,March 15,20063CSA Z662 Oil and Gas Pipeline Systems4FED-STD-123G Federal Standard Marking for Shipment(Civil Agencies)Military Standard 129P Standard PracticeMilitary Mark-ing for Shipment and StoragePPI TR-3 Policies and Procedures for Developing Hydro-static Design Basis(HDB),Pressure Design Basis(PDB),Strength Design Basis(SDB),and Minimum RequiredStrength(MRS)Ratings f
