Introduction. LA. Background, ‘This standard describes outside diameter (OD) controlled polyethylene (PE) pressure pipe and fittings in diameters ranging from 4 through tion of 65 in. (100-1,650 mm) for use primarily in the construction and rehabi water distribution and transmission systems. ‘This document describes pipes and fittings made from PE materials with standard PE material designation code PE4710. Pipes are classified in accordance with pipe rension ratios (DRs) ranging from 7.0 to 21. The resultant combinations of PEA710 and DRs yield pipe with pressure classes (PCs) ranging from 100 to 335 psig, (690-2,310 kPa) for water, wastewater, and reclaimed water at 80°F (27°C) and lower temperatures. PC ratings are reduced for higher service temperatures. See AWWA M35 for information about the use of PE pipe at higher service temperatures. Consult with the Special Issues section (Sec. IC) about the use of PE pipe with different disinfectant types and concentrations, and refer to AWWA M75 for use of elastomers in waterworks pipes, valves, and fittings. ‘Three standard pipe-diameter systems are described, as follows: iron pipe size (IPS) system (ANSI B36.10).. 2. Inch OD equivalent to ductile-iron pipe OD (DIOD) in accordance with the ductile-iton pipe sizing system (ANSV/AWWA C150/A21.50). 3. Metric OD equivalents. ‘This standard also includes a pros 1. Inch OD in accordance wit jon for speci ing pipe with custom diameters, wall thicknesses, and dimension 1B. History. In 1984, the Standards Committee on Thermoplastic Pressure Pipe appointed a subcommittee to prepare a standard covering 4 in. (100 mm) and larger-diameter polyethylene (PE) pressure pipe and fittings. The first proposed draft was submitted to the Thermoplastic Pressure Pipe Committee by letter ballot in May 1986 ‘The Thermoplastic Pressure Pipe Committee was subsequently dissolved, and its standards responsibilities were divided berween two new AWWA standards committees: the PVC Pressure Pipe and Fittings Committee and the Polyolefin Pressure Pipe and Fittings Committee, The Polyolefin Pressure Pipe and Fittings Committee assumed * American National Standards Institute, 25 West 43rd Suc, Fourth Floor, New York, NY 10036. vil Copyright 2021 American Wier Works Associationthe responsibility for developing this standard in the fall of 1988. The first edition of ANSIAWWA C906 was approved by the AWWA Board of Directors on June 21, 1990. Subsequent editions were approved on June 20, 1999; Jan. 21, 2007; and Jan, 24, 2015. This edition was approved June 10, 2021 LC. Acceptance. In May 1985, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) entered into a cooperative agreement with a consortium led by NSF International (NSF) to develop voluntary third-party consensus standards and a certification program for direct and indirect drinking water additives. Other members of the original consortium included the Water Research Foundation (formerly AwwaRF) and the Conference of State Health and Environmental Managers (COSHEM). AWWA and the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA) joined later. In the United States, authority to regulate products for use in, or in contact with, individual states.! Local agencies may choose to impose requirements more stringent than those required by the state. To evaluate the health effects of products and drinking water additives from such products, state and local drinking water rests wi agencies may use various references, including: 1, Specific policies ofthe state of local agency. 2. Two standards developed under the direction of NSF‘: NSF/ANSI/ CANS 60, Drinking Water ‘Treatment Chemicals—Health Effects, and NSF/ANSI/ CAN 61, Drinking Water System Components—Health Effects. 3. Other references, including AWWA standards, Food Chemicals Codex, Water Chemicals Codes', and other standards considered appropriate by the state or local agency. Various certification organizations may be involved in certifying products in NSF/ANSI/CAN 61. Individual sates or local agencies have authority 10 accept or accredit certification organizations within their jurisdictions. Accreditation of certification organizations may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, Annex A, “Toxicology Review and Evaluation Procedures,” to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 does not stipulate a maximum allowable level (MAL) of a contaminant for substances not regulated by a USEPA final maximum contaminant level (MCL).

Special Issues. ILA. Advisory Information on Product Application. ‘This. standard presents criteria related to the manufacture and purchase of polyethylene pressure pipe to be used in the distribution and transmission of potable water, wastewater, and reclaimed. water in either buried or aboveground applications. Pipe provided according to the provisions of this standard may also be suitable for insertion into existing pipelines for rehabilitation and for the trans of other liquids. IB. Design and Installation Information. This standard describes the requirements for the production of pipe and fittings. This standard does not include information about PE pipe design and installation. AWWA M55, PE Pipe—Design and Installation, provides detailed information on polyethylene engineering properties, manufacturing, testing, inspection, hydraulics, pressure rating, external loads, heat fusion and mechanical joining, fittings, transportation, handling, storage, installation (open cut, trenchless, and marine), hydrotesting and commissioning, maintenance and repairs, model specifications, earthquake applications, case studies, and PEA710 pipe data. Purchasers may write specifications that exceed the requirements of this standard to accommodate a specific application. Consultation with PE pipe manufacturers is recommended for applications where the service temperature is greater than 100° (38°C). IC Considerations for HDPE Oxidative Resistance. Consistent with the practice of other pipe and material standards, strength ratings in this standard are not reduced for potential in-service degradation mechanisms such as internal or external corrosion and oxidation. ASTM? F2263 is the mandatory test method used to assess the long-term internal oxidative stability of PE materials in potable water applications based on accelerated testing and modeling. ASTM F2263 was updated in 2014 to reflect how testing is TM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, West Conshohocken, PA 19428. x Copyright 2021 American Wier Works Associationcurrently being performed. ASTM F2263 test results are used to project the relative performance of various PE pipe compounds in chlorinated water applications. ASTM 2263 is a test method and does not include performance criteria for PE tubes. ASTM D3350 was updated in 2014 to provide for the classification of PE resin performance under oxidative conditions. Consistent with ANSVAWWA C901 (2017 and 2021), the materials requirements incorporating ASTM F2263 and 3350 have been added in Sec. 4 For potable water appli ions, the standard specifies PE compounds with oxidative resistance classification CC3, which ensures adequate design life under the vast majority of disinfectant applications where chlorine and chloramine are used as secondary disinfectants as shown in PPLTN-44 and HDPEapp.com. (Nore: This standard does not include consideration of chlorine dioxide as a secondary disinfectant, which is estimated to be used in less than 1 percent of North American utilities. Seek additional guidance from the pipe supplier if chlorine dioxide isthe planned disinfectant practice. See Jana Laboratories, Usage and Effects of Chlorine Dioxide on PEX Plumbing and Water Distribution Systems in North America, prepared for the Plastics Pipe Institute, July 2010.) IIL, Use of This Standard. Ic is the responsibility of the user of an AWWA standard co determine that the products described in that standard are suitable for use in the particular application.

Brittle failure: A pipe failure mode that exhibits no visible material deformation (stretching, clongation, or necking down) in the area of the break. 2. Coextrusion: ‘The process of extruding two or more materials so that the extrudates merge and weld together. See also Extrusion. 3. Cracking: A split or separation of macerial that is exhibited as a surface discontinuity, applicable to Sec. 4.3.8.1. 4, Crazing: Apparent fine cracks at or under the surface, which may be exhibited by visible fine white lines, applicable to Sec. 4.3.8.1. 5. Design factor* (DE): ‘The design factor is used to reduce the hydrostatic design basis (HDB) determined according to ASTM 12837 and PPI'TR-3 to arrive at the hydrostatic design stress (HDS) from which the pressure class (PC) nal tolerances, and other sources of variability that can impact the long-term performance of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe. The design factor used in this standard for PE4710 compounds is 0.63. Nore: The design factor in this standard is not the inverse of the safety is calculated. The design factor accounts for typical process variation, dime factor. The time to failure of HDPE at a particular temperature is related to stress through a power law relationship, i., time to failure increases dramatically with a small reduction in stress. 6. Dimension ratio (DR): ‘The ratio ofa pipe’ specified OD to its specified minimum wall thickness. The average specified outside diameter is used for establishing pipe DR using US customary units. With metric units, the minimum specified outside diameter is used. 7. Ductile failure: A pipe failure mode that exhibits material deformation (stretching, elongation, or necking down) in the area of the break. 8, Extrusion: A process whereby heated or unheated plastic forced through a shaping orifice becomes one continuously formed piece.
