scope:

This standard describes grooved and shouldered joints for ductile-iron pipe (DIP), metallic pressure pipe of iron pipe size (IPS), fittings, and other components for water, wastewater, reclaimed water, and other services. The standard describes 4-in. through 36-in. (100-mm through 900-mm) diameter grooved ductile-iron pipe; ¾-in. through 24-in. (19-mm through 600-mm) diameter grooved steel, aluminum, brass, and other metallic pipe of IPS dimensions; and 4-in. through 64-in. (100-mm through 1,600-mm) nominal diameter shouldered ends for ductileiron pipe and metallic pipe. Joint sizes other than those listed are outside the scope of this product standard.

Purpose

The purpose of this standard is to provide the minimum requirements for grooved and shouldered joints, including materials, dimensions, tolerances, inspection, proof of design procedures, markings, and production testing. Grooved and shouldered joints outside of Tables 2-6 shall comply with all the minimum requirements of the general design, materials, inspection, proof of design procedures, markings, and production testing.
