ASTM D2672-96a(2009)

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
An American National Standard
Designation: D 2672 – 96a (Reapproved 2003)2009)
Standard Specification for
Joints for IPS PVC Pipe Using Solvent Cement
This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2672; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers the socket produced for solvent cement joints on both pressure and non-pressure IPS pipe. It also
covers the testing of the joints on both pressure and non-pressure pipe, and includes requirements for socket dimensions, burst
pressure, and joint tightness tests of the solvent cemented joints. The tests described are not intended for routine quality control,
but rather to evaluate the performance characteristics of the joint.
NOTE 1—On dual marked Schedule 40 DWV and potable water pipe, the socket bells must conform to the dimensional and physical requirements for
pressure socket bells.
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.
1.3The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information
only.
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.
NOTE 2—Changes in ground, water, or air temperature will produce expansion or contraction forces in PVC piping, and these will result in longitudinal
shear stresses in the solvent cement joints. These stresses must be considered in the design and operation of the system.
NOTE 3—See Practice D 618 for information relating to this specification.
1.4 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Section 10, of this specification.Thisstandard
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
standardtoestablishappropriatesafetyandhealthpracticesanddeterminetheapplicabilityofregulatorylimitationspriortouse.

D 2672 – 96a (2003)(2009)
3. Terminology
3.1 Definitions—Definitions are in accordance with Terminology F 412 and abbreviations are in accordance with Terminology
D 1600, unless otherwise specified.
4. Materials
4.1 General—PVC plastics used to make the pipe, which are belled under this specification, are designated in PVC product
standards referencing this standard.
4.2 Solvent cements must conform to the requirements of Specification D 2564.
4.3 Primers must conform to the requirements of Specification F 656.
5. Requirements Requirements
5.1 Bell Socket Dimensions and Tolerances:
5.1.1 Diameters and Length—The diameter, lengths, and tolerances of the bell sockets shall be as shown in Table 1 when
measured in accordance with Test Method D 2122.
5.1.2 Wall Thicknesses—The minimum wall thicknesses of the sockets (bell) shall not be less than 90 % of the minimums
shown for the pressure pipe in the applicable ASTM specification. For non-pressure pipe, the integral socket (bell) shall be
considered satisfactory when formed from pipe which meets the minimum wall thickness requirements of the applicable ASTM
specification when measured in accordance with Test Method D 2122.
5.2 Joint Tests:
5.2.1 Burst Pressure—The minimum burst pressures for pipe and (bell) socket on pressure pipe shall be as given for pressure
pipe in the applicable ASTM specification when determined in accordance with 10.3.
5.2.2 Joint Tightness—The (bell) socket joint on non-pressure pipe shall not leak when tested in accordance with 10.4.
6. Workmanship
6.1 Each socket (bell) is required to be uniform in depth, circular in cross section concentric with the pipe, and to have an end
as square as commercially practicable.
7. Retest and Rejection
7.1 If the results of any test(s) do not meet the requirements of this specification, the test(s) shall be conducted again only by
agreement between the purchaser and the seller. Under such agreement, minimum requirements shall not be lowered, nor tests
omitted, substituted, changed, or modified, nor shall specification limits be changed. If upon retest, failure occurs, the quantity of
product represented by the test(s) does not meet the requirements of this specification.
8. Sampling and Test Specimens
8.1 Take at random a sample of the pipe with (bell) socket sufficient to determine conformance with this specification.
8.1.1 The test specimens for any pressure test shall have at least a part of the marking in their central sections. The central
section is that portion of pipe which is at least one pipe diameter away from an end closure.
