Designation:F296912Standard Specification forAcrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene(ABS)IPS DimensionedPressure Pipe1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2969;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.Scope1.1 This specification covers acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene(ABS)IPS dimensioned pressure pipe produced by singleextrusion in standard thermoplastic pipe dimension ratios andpressure rated for water(see Appendix X1).Included arecriteria for classifying ABS plastic pipe materials and ABSplastic pipe,a system of nomenclature for ABS plastic pipe,and requirements and test methods for materials,workmanship,dimensions,sustained pressure,burst pressure,and extrusionquality.Methods of marking are also given.1.2 The products covered by this specification are intendedfor use with the distribution of pressurized liquids,which arechemically compatible with the piping materials.Consult withthe manufacturer and local building codes before use in otherapplications.Due to inherent hazards associated with testingcomponents and systems with compressed air or other com-pressed gases some manufacturers do not allow pneumatictesting of their products.Consult with specific product/component manufacturers for their specific testing proceduresprior to pneumatic testing.NOTE1Pressurized(compressed)air or other compressed gasescontain large amounts of stored energy which present serious safetyhazards should a system fail for any reason.NOTE2Exposure to ultraviolet radiation over a long period of timemay affect the physical properties of ABS pipe.Consult the manufacturerfor recommendations for handling,storage,and installations that are notprotected by insulation.1.3 Pipe meeting the requirements of this standard is notcompatible with DWV fittings.The ABS pipe covered in thisstandard is intended for pressure service and it shall be joinedto pressure fittings.Non-pressure fittings,such as DWV fittingsfrom any material(ABS,PVC,CPVC,etc.)are not acceptablefor pressure applications.1.4 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.1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard.The values given in parentheses are providedfor information purposes only.1.6 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to thetest method portion,Section 7,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 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-ticsD2122 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 ProductsD3965 Classification System and Basis for Specifications forRigid Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene(ABS)Materialsfor Pipe and FittingsF412 Terminology Relating to Plastic Piping Systems2.2 Federal Standard:3Fed.Std.No.123 Marking for Shipment(Civil Agencies)2.3 Military Standard:3MIL-STD-129 Marking for Shipment and Storage1This 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 Aug.1,2012.Published September 2012.DOI:10.1520/F2969-122For 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,Bldg.4 Section D,700Robbins Ave.,Philadelphia,PA 19111-5094,Attn:NPODSCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 2.4 NSF International Standards:4NSF/ANSI Standard No.14 for Plastic Piping Componentsand Related MaterialsNSF/ANSI Standard No.61 for Drinking Water SystemComponentsHealth Effects3.Terminology3.1 GeneralDefinitions are in accordance with Terminol-ogy F412.Abbreviations are in accordance with TerminologyD1600,unless otherwise indicated.The abbreviation foracrylonitrile-butadiene-st
