Standard Specification for Polyethylene (PE) Gas Pressure Pipe, Tubing, and Fittings

Standard Details

1.1 This specification covers requirements and test methods for material dimensions and tolerances, hydrostatic burst strength, chemical resistance, and rapid crack resistance of polyethylene pipe, tubing, and fittings for use in fuel gas pipelines for direct burial and reliner applications. The pipe and fittings covered by this specification are intended for use in the transmission and distribution of natural gas. Requirements for the qualifying of polyethylene systems for use with liquefied petroleum gas are also covered.

1.1.1 This specification does not cover threaded pipe. Design considerations are discussed in Appendix X1. In-plant quality control programs are specified in Annex A1 and Annex A2.

1.1.2 See Specification F2619/F2619M for polyethylene piping for pressure or non-pressure oil and gas producing applications to convey fluids such as oil, dry or wet gas, multiphase fluids, and non-potable oilfield water.

1.2 The text of this specification references notes, footnotes, and appendixes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the specification.

1.3 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.
