ASTM D3517

ASTM D3517

Standard ASTM D3517
Specification for "Fiberglass" (Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Thermosetting-Resin) Pressure Pipe

This specification covers machine-made fiberglass pressure pipe, 200 mm [8 in.] to 4000 mm [156 in.], intended for use in water conveyance systems operating at internal gage pressures of 3103 kPa [450 psi] or less. This standard is suited primarily for pipes to be installed in buried applications, although it may be used for other installations such as, but not limited to, jacking, tunnel lining and slip-lining rehabilitation of existing pipelines.
