ASTM F771-99
Historical Standard: ASTM F771-99 Standard Specification for Polyethylene (PE) Thermoplastic High-Pressure Irrigation Pipeline Systems
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM F771
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers polyethylene (PE) thermoplastic pipelines used to convey, at rated pressures of 80 to 200 psi, water that is to be used for irrigation purposes. This specification includes criteria for classifying the pipe materials, a system of nomenclature for plastic pipe, requirements for pipe, test methods, joints, fittings, certification, and marking.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard.
1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Section 7, 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.
