1.1 This practice covers recommended installation techniques for aluminum and stainless steel jacketing for thermal and acoustic pipe insulation operating at either above or below ambient temperatures and in both indoor and outdoor locations. This practice applies to materials manufactured in...

1.1 The gel content of pipe and tubing produced from crosslinked polyethylene plastics as described in Specification F876 and other pipe or tubing standards is determined by extracting with solvents such as xylenes. A test method for quantitative determination of gel content is...

This specification covers requirements and test methods for material dimensions and tolerances, hydrostatic burst strength, chemical resistance, and impact resistance of PEX pipe and tubing for use in fuel gas mains and services for direct burial applications. Requirements cover workmanship,...

1.1 This specification2 covers the requirements for seamless copper and copper alloy tubing on which the external or internal surface, or both, has been modified by a cold-forming process to produce an integral enhanced surface for improved heat transfer. 1.2 The tubes are typically used in...

This specification establishes the performance characteristics required for mechanically attached fittings (MAFs) for use in piping and tubing systems. These fittings directly attach to pipe or tube by mechanical deformation of the pipe or tube or fitting, or a combination thereof, creating...

This specification covers crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) tubing that is outside diameter controlled, made in standard thermoplastic tubing dimension ratios, and pressure rated for water at three temperatures. This specification covers one PEX tubing material in one standard...

1.1 This specification2 covers a group of general requirements that, unless otherwise specified in an individual specification, shall apply to the ASTM product specifications noted below. 1.2 In the case of conflict between a requirement of a product specification and a requirement of this...

1.1 This specification establishes requirements for polyethylene of raised temperature (PE-RT) plastic hot- and cold-water tubing and distribution systems components made in one standard dimension ratio and intended for 100 psig (6.9 bar) water service up to and including a maximum working...

1.1 This specification covers grades of seamless, welded, and heavily cold worked welded austenitic and ferritic/austenitic stainless steel sanitary tubing intended for use in the dairy and food industry and having special surface finishes. Pharmaceutical quality may be requested, as a...

1.1 This specification covers requirements for PVC pipe and tubing for use only to maintain or repair existing PVC gas piping. This specification covers requirements for fittings for use to maintain or repair existing PVC gas piping. 1.1.1 In-plant quality control programs are specified in...

This specification covers the requirements and test procedures for materials, dimensions, hydrostatic burst strength, chemical resistance, peeling strength, adhesion strength, and tensile strength properties for cured-in-place (CIP) pipe liners installed into existing metallic gas pipes for...

1.1 This specification covers cold expansion fittings and cross-linked (PEX) reinforcing rings for use with cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) plastic tubing in nominal tubing sizes of 3/8 , 1/2 , 5/8 , 3/4 , 1, 11/4 , 11/2 , 2, 21/2 , and 3 in. that meet the requirements of...

1.1 This specification covers plastic press insert fittings with factory assembled stainless steel press sleeves incorporating 3 view holes and a tool locator ring. These fittings are for use with cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) tubing in nominal sizes 3/8 , 1/2 , 3/4 , 1, 11/4 , 11/2 , and...

1.1 This specification establishes requirements for sulfone plastic insert fittings and copper crimp rings for three sizes (1/2 , 3/4 , and 1) of cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) tubing that meet the requirements for Specification F876 or F3253, and polyethylene of raised temperature (PE-RT)...

This specification covers polyethylene (PE) tubing pressure-rated for water. Included here are criteria for classifying PE plastic tubing materials and PE plastic tubing, and requirements and test methods for materials, workmanship, dimensions, bond strength, carbon black,...

This specification covers the requirements, test methods, and markings for crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) tubing with a polymeric oxygen barrier layer, made in one standard dimension ratio (SDR 9), and distribution system components intended for hydronic heating and cooling applications up...

1.1 This practice covers aid for the equipment manufacturer, the installer, the oil supplier and the operator in coordinating their efforts towards obtaining and maintaining clean petroleum fluid hydraulic systems. Of necessity, this practice is generalized due to variations in the type of...

1.1 This specification establishes requirements for polyethylene of raised temperature (PE-RT) plastic hot- and cold-water tubing and distribution systems components made in one standard dimension ratio and intended for 100 psig (6.9 bar) water service up to and including a maximum working...
