ASTM D 3517:2026

1.1 This specification covers machine-made fiberglass pipe intended for use in water conveyance systems, which operate at internal gage pressures of 450 psi (3103 kPa) or less. Both glass-fiber-reinforced thermosetting-resin pipe (RTRP) and glass-fiber-reinforced polymer mortar pipe (RPMP) are fiberglass pipes. The standard is suited primarily for pipes to be installed in buried applications, although it is acceptable to be used to the extent applicable for other installations such as, but not limited to, jacking, tunnel lining and slip-lining rehabilitation of existing pipelines. Note 1: For the purposes of this standard, polymer does not include natural polymers. 1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are provided for information purposes only. Included are nominal diameters 8 in. (200 mm) to 156 in. (4000 mm) and standard pipe stiffness classes 18, 36, 46, and 72 psi. However, it is acceptable to apply this standard to the extent applicable to other diameters and pipe stiffnesses. Note 2: There is no known ISO equivalent to this standard. 1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 8 , 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
