ASTM F714-10

This document is not anASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of anASTM 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.

1. Scope*
1.1 This specification covers polyethylene (PE) pipe made in dimensions based on outside diameters of 90 mm (3.500 in.) and
larger.
1.2 Three standard outside diameter sizing systems are detailed: one known as the ISO metric system, one known as the IPS
system, and the other known as the DIPS system. See 5.2.5 for guidelines for special sizes.
1.3 The piping is intended for new construction and insertion renewal of old piping systems used for the transport of water,
municipal sewage, domestic sewage, industrial process liquids, effluents, slurries, etc., in both pressure and nonpressure systems.
NOTE 1—The user should consult the manufacturer to ensure that any damage to the polyethylene pipe caused by the material being transported will
not affect the service life beyond limits acceptable to the user.
1.4 All pipes produced under this specification are pressure-rated. See Appendix X5 for information on pressure rating.
NOTE 2—References and material descriptions for PE2406, PE3406, PE3408 and materials having a HDB of 1450 psi have been removed from
Specification F714 due to changes in Specification D3350 and PPI TR-3. For removed designations, refer to previous editions of Specification F714,
Specification D3350, PPI TR-3 and PPI TR-4. The removal of these materials does not affect pipelines that are in service. See Notes 9 and 10.
1.5 This specification includes criteria for choice of raw material, together with performance requirements and test methods for
determining conformance with the requirements.
1.6 Quality-control measures are to be taken by manufacturers. See Appendix X4 for general information on quality control.
1.7 In referee decisions, the SI units shall be used for metric-sized pipe and inch-pound units for pipe sized in the IPS system
(ANSI B36.10) and DIPS system. In all cases, the values given in parentheses are provided for information only.
1.8 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 6, 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.
