Scope of standard

This specification covers the requirements and methods of tests
for corrugated polypropylene (PP) pipe, couplings, and fittings for
use in surface and subsurface drainage application.

Nominal sizes of 300 to 1500 mm (12 to 60 in.) are included.

Materials, workmanship, dimensions, pipe stiffness,
environmental stress crack resistance, joining systems,
brittleness, and form of markings are specified.

Corrugated polypropylene pipe is intended for surface and
subsurface drainage applications where soil provides support to its
flexible walls. Its major use is to collect or convey drainage
water by open gravity flow, as culverts, storm drains, sewers, etc.
This standard does not cover applications which require
polypropylene pipe over 600 mm (24 in.) with a minimum pipe
stiffness over 314 kPa (46 psi) and low-pressure watertight joints
(7.6 m (25 ft) of constant head), such as required in sanitary
sewer applications.

This specification does not include requirements for bedding,
backfill, or earth cover load. Successful performance of this
product depends upon proper type of bedding and backfill, and care
in installation. The structural design of thermoplastic pipe and
the proper installation procedures are given in the AASHTO LRFD
Bridge Design Specifications
, Section 12, and AASHTO LRFD
Bridge Construction Specifications
, Section 30, respectively.
Upon request of the user or engineer, the manufacturer shall
provide profile wall section detail required for a full engineering
evaluation.

The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.
Within the text the U. S. Customary Units are shown in parentheses
and may not be exact equivalents.

The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test
method portion, Section 9.4 of this specification: This
standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if
any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user
of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health
practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to use.
