ASTM D2517-18

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: D2517 − 06 (Reapproved 2011) D2517 − 18 An American National Standard
Standard Specification for
1
Reinforced Epoxy Resin Gas Pressure Pipe and Fittings
This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2517; 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 U.S. Department of Defense.
1. Scope*
1.1 This specification covers requirements and methods of test for materials, dimensions and tolerances, hydrostatic-burst
strength, chemical resistance, and longitudinal tensile properties, for reinforced epoxy resin pipe and fittings for use in gas mains
and services for direct burial and insertion applications. The pipe and fittings covered by this specification are intended for use in
the distribution of natural gas, petroleum fuels (propane–air and propane–butane vapor mixtures), manufactured and mixed gases
where resistance to gas permeation, toughness, resistance to corrosion, aging, and deterioration from water, gas, and gas additives
are required. Methods of marking are also given. Design considerations are discussed in Appendix X1.
1.2 The values in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Section 8, 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 safety, health, and healthenvironmental practices and determine the applicability of
regulatory limitations prior to use.
NOTE 1—There is no known ISO equivalent to this standard.
1.4 A recommended inplant quality control program is given in Appendix X2.
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.
