scope:

This standard covers grooved and shouldered joints for ductile-iron pipe, metallic pressure pipe of iron pipe size, and fittings and other components for water service. The standard covers 4-in. through 24-in. (100-mm through 600-mm) diameter grooved ductile-iron pipe; 3/4-in. through 24-in. (19-mm through 600-mm) diameter grooved steel, aluminum, brass, and other metallic pipe of iron pipe size (IPS) dimensions; and 4-in. through 64-in. (100-mm through 1,600-mm) diameter shouldered ends for ductile-iron pipe and metallic pipe of IPS dimensions.

Purpose

The purpose of this standard is to provide the water industry with the minimum requirements for grooved and shouldered joints, including materials, dimensions, tolerances, finishes, tests, and testing procedures.

Application

This standard can be referenced in specifications for purchasing and receiving pressure pipe, fittings, and other components composed of ductile-iron, steel, and non-ferrous metals for water supply service. The stipulations of this standard apply when this document has been referenced and then only to grooved and shouldered joints for water
