Specification
1. Scope
2. References
3. Outside diameters of pipe
4. Pressure ratings
5. Stress ratings
6. Wall thickness of pressure pipe
Tables
1. Outside diameters of pipe
2. Pressure ratings and colour marking
3. Design circumferential working stresses
4. Calculated minimum wall thickness for pipe series
Gives outside diameters, maximum working pressures and stress ratings of circular pipes of thermoplastics materials, regardless of composition or method of manufacture or utilisation. Also gives a mathematically derived series of minimum wall thicknesses dependent on relationship between design stress rating and pressure rating.
