ASTM F2618-21

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: F2618 − 19 F2618 − 21 An American National Standard
Standard Specification for
Chlorinated Poly (Vinyl Chloride) (CPVC) Pipe and Fittings
1
for Chemical Waste Drainage Systems
This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2618; 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*
1.1 This specification covers the performance requirements of CPVC pipe, fittings and solvent cements used in chemical waste
drainage systems.
1.2 A system is made up of pipe, fittings and solvent cement that meet the requirements of this standard.
NOTE 1—Consult the manufacturer’s chemical resistance recommendations for chemical waste drainage applications prior to use.
1.3 The text of this specification references notes, footnotes and appendices that provide explanatory material. These notes and
footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the specification.
1.4 The pressure tests described in this standard are laboratory hydrostatic tests that are intended to verify joint/system integrity.
They are not intended for use as field tests of installed systems.
1.5 Due to inherent hazards associated with testing components and systems with compressed air or other compressed gases, no
such testing shall be done unless the component manufacturer gives approval in writing.
NOTE 2—Pressurized (compressed) air or other compressed gases contain large amounts of stored energy, which present serious safety hazards should
a system fail for any reason.
1.6 Mechanical joints used for joining pipe and fittings of different materials are provided for in this specification. They include
common flanges, couplings, and unions.
1.7 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 3—This specification specifies dimensional, performance, and test requirements for fluid handling applications but does not address venting of
combustion gases.
1.8 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of
regulatory limitations prior to use.
