Describes the characteristics of solid-wall pipes made from unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) for piping systems intended for water supply and for buried and above-ground drainage and sewerage under pressure.

This part of ISO1452 specifies the characteristics of solid-wall pipes made from unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) for piping systems intended for water supply and for buried and above-ground drainage and sewerage under pressure. It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to in this part of ISO1452. In conjunction with ISO1452-1 and ISO1452-5, it is applicable to extruded PVC-U pipes without a socket and pipes with a socket (integral or not), intended to be used for the following: water mains and services buried in the ground; conveyance of water above ground for both outside and inside buildings; buried and above-ground drainage and sewerage under pressure. It is applicable to piping systems intended for the supply of water under pressure up to and including 25°C (cold water) intended for human consumption and for general purposes as well as for waste water under pressure. This part of ISO1452 specifies pipes for the conveyance of water and waste water up to and including 45°C. For temperatures between 25°C and 45°C, FigureA.1 applies. NOTE1 The producer and the end-user can come to agreement on the possibilities of use for temperatures above 45°C on a case-by-case basis. This part of ISO1452 specifies a range of pipe sizes and pressure classes, and gives requirements concerning colours. NOTE2 It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to make the appropriate selections from these aspects, taking into account their particular requirements and any relevant national regulations and installation practices or codes.
