Standard Specification for Vitrified Clay Pipe, Extra Strength, Standard Strength, and Perforated

SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes the criteria for acceptance, prior to installation, of extra strength and standard strength vitrified clay pipe and fittings to be used for the conveyance of sewage, industrial wastes, and storm water; and extra strength perforated and standard strength perforated vitrified clay pipe to be used for underdrainage, filter fields, leaching fields, and similar subdrainage installations.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
Note 1—Attention is called to Specification C 425, Test Method C 828, Test Method C 1091, Test Methods C 301, and Terminology C 896.
1.3 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the Test Method portion, 5.2-5.2.3.2 of this standard: 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.
