Standard Specification for Folded/Formed Poly-(Vinyl Chloride) Pipe Type A for Existing Sewer and Conduit Rehabilitation

1.1 This specification covers requirements and test methods for materials, dimensions, workmanship, flattening resistance, impact resistance, pipe stiffness, extrusion quality, and a form of marking for folded/formed poly-(vinyl chloride) (PVC) pipe for existing sewer and conduit rehabilitation.

1.2 Folded pipe produced to this specification is for use in non-pressure sewer and conduit rehabilitation where the folded PVC pipe is installed into and then expanded to provide a close fit to the wall of the original conduit, forming a new structural pipe-within-a-pipe.

1.3 This specification includes pipe made only from materials specified in Section 6. This specification does not include folded pipe manufactured from reprocessed, recycled, or reclaimed PVC.

1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.5 There is no similar or equivalent ISO Standard.

1.6 The following precautionary statement pertains only to the test method portion, Section 11, 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.
