Abstract
This specification covers requirements and test methods for materials, dimensions, workmanship, flattening resistance, impact resistance, pipe stiffness, extrusion quality, joining systems and a form of marking for type PSM poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) SDR 51 and SDR 64 sewer pipe and fittings. In the solvent cement joint, the pipe spigot wedges into the tapered socket and the surfaces fuse together. Joints made with pipe and fittings shall show no signs of leakage when tested. The pipe dimensions, fitting dimensions, pipe flattening, impact resistance, pipe stiffness, joint tightness, and extrusion quality shall be tested to meet the requirements prescribed.
