ASTM F 599 : 1995

CONTAINED IN VOL 08.04, 2001 Describes factory-made PVDC plastic-lined ferrous metal pipe and fittings for corrosive gases and liquids.

1.1 This specification covers factory-made poly(vinylidene chloride) (PVDC) plastic-lined ferrous metal pipe and fittings primarily intended for conveying corrosive liquids and gases. Requirements for materials, workmanship, dimensions, construction, working pressure and temperatures, test methods, and markings are included.

Note 1-This specification does not include products coated with PVDC nor does it define the suitability of PVDC-lined components in chemical environments.

1.2 The values given in parentheses are provided for information purposes only.

1.3 The ferrous piping products shall meet the requirements of the relevant specifications listed in 1.3.1, 1.3.2, and

1.3.3. Nominal sizes from 1 through 8 in. in 125, 150, and 300 psi ratings are covered.

Note 2-The PVDC sealing faces may prevent achievement of the full pressure rating of the ferrous housing. For pressure limitations, the manufacturer should be consulted.
