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.
Designation: F1606 − 05 (2014) F1606 − 19
Standard Practice for
Rehabilitation of Existing Sewers and Conduits with
1
Deformed Polyethylene (PE) Liner
This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1606; 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.
1. Scope Scope*
1.1 This practice covers the requirements for the installation of deformed polyethylene (PE) liner for pipeline rehabilitation.
1.2 This practice describes a method by which the PE liner may be installed with little or no excavation.
1.3 This practice applies to the rehabilitation of 3 to 18- in. 18 in. (76 to 457-mm)457 mm) diameter pipe in terms of installation.
The specifier determines what DR is used based on conditions of the specific application.
1.4 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 safety, health, and healthenvironmental practices and determine the
applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.5 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.
