1、Designation: F1668 16 An American National StandardStandard Guide forConstruction Procedures for Buried Plastic Pipe1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1668; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the yea

2、r of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This guide describes installation techniques and consid-erations for open-cut construction of buried pipe.Althou

3、gh thisguide was developed for plastic pipe, the concepts of providingthe appropriate soil support, care in handling, correct joiningtechniques, proper soil compaction methods, and prevention ofinstallation damage may apply to any pipe.1.1.1 Plastic pipe refers to thermoplastic and fiberglass pipe.1

4、.1.2 Thermoplastic pipe refers to pipe fabricated frompolyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), acrylonitrile-butadiene styrene (ABS), cross-linked polyethylene (PEX),chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), or polypropylene (PP).A list of specifications for these products is given in AppendixX2.1.

5、1.3 Fiberglass pipe refers to a glass-fiber-reinforcedthermosetting-resin pipe. A list of ASTM specifications forthese products is given in Appendix X2.NOTE 1Appendix X2 cannot be considered inclusive because theremay be unlisted, recently adopted ASTM specifications for new productsthat may be inst

6、alled using this guide.NOTE 2Only a few of the ASTM specifications listed in Appendix X2include the associated fittings. While this guide applies to the installationof pipe, couplings, and fittings, no attempt was made to list all the possiblefitting specifications that may be used in conjunction wi

7、th the pipespecifications. Consult each specification or manufacturer for appropriatefitting standards.1.1.4 For simplification, the term pipe will be used in thisdocument to mean pipe sections, fittings, and couplings.1.2 This guide contains general construction informationapplicable for plastic pi

8、pe and supplements the installationstandards for the various types of pipe as described in PracticesD2321, D2774, D3839, F690, and Guide F645.NOTE 3This guide is not applicable for gas pipe applications asadditional requirements may apply.1.3 Flexible pipe, such as thermoplastic and fiberglass, aret

9、ypically designed to rely on the stiffness of the soil surround-ing the pipe for support. The contract documents shoulddescribe the requirements of an appropriate soil supportsystem. The construction practices described in this guide canbe instrumental in attaining the required soil stiffness.1.3.1

10、A discussion of the interaction between a buried pipeand the surrounding soil and the importance of attaining propersoil support is in Appendix X1.1.3.2 Following these guidelines will be helpful in prevent-ing local deformations in the pipe.1.4 This guide does not cover underwater installation, pip

11、ethat needs to be supported on piling, perforated pipe used fordrainage, or gas pipelines.1.5 Pipelines through areas described as “expansive soils,”“collapsing soils,” landfills or water-logged land (such asswamps) should be constructed using site-specific installationprocedures and are not discuss

12、ed in this guide.1.6 This guide is not intended to cover all situations.Specific pipe characteristics, fluid transported, local siteconditions, environmental concerns, or manufacturers recom-mendations may require different guidelines.1.7 The construction practices presented in this guide maybe affe

13、cted by the installation requirements of owners, speci-fying organizations, or regulatory agencies for pipelines cross-ing roads and highways, other pipelines or cables, or water-ways such as streams, drainage channels, or floodways.1.8 Culverts or pipe that are used as passages through waterretaini

14、ng embankments (for example, earth dams) may beconstructed using the principles of this guide, if appropriateprovisions are made to prevent water movement along theoutside of the pipe (using impervious soils, cutoff collars, headwalls, etc.).1.9 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as th

15、estandard. The inch-pound units in parentheses are given forinformation only.NOTE 4There is no similar or equivalent ISO standard covering theprimary subject matter of this guide.1.10 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is therespo

16、nsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on Plastic PipingSystems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F

Significance and Use4.1 This guide may be used as a reference of acceptableopen-cut construction practices for the proper installation ofburied fiberglass and thermoplastic pipe. This guide may beused as follows:4.1.1 Installation

41、 contractors have an awareness of the levelof workmanship required and use this information for biddingpurposes and during construction.4.1.2 Construction inspectors have a reference of acceptableinstallation practices.4.1.3 Specification writers may use this guide as a referencein contract document

42、s.4.1.4 Designers may review this information during plan-ning and design for factors to consider in the preparation ofplans and specifications.4.1.5 The owner of the pipeline may use this guide as areference for restoration of proper pipe support and embedmentwhen original construction is disturbed

43、 due to repairs,modifications, or construction of adjacent or crossing pipelinesor cables.4.2 This guide should not be used to replace project speci-fication requirements, manufacturers recommendations,plumbing codes, building codes, or ASTM installationstandards, but may be used to supplement that

44、information.5. Inspection, Handling, and Storage5.1 Load InspectionThe pipe should be packaged orloaded as recommended by the supplier. The receiver of thepipe should be aware of (1) the loading and packagingrequirements for each mode of transportation used; (2) thecontinuance of proper handling in

45、any multiple loading andunloading before arrival; and (3) any transportation incident(wreck). Before unloading, the receiver should examine theload for transportation damage, particularly if the load hasshifted, packaging is broken, or if there are signs of roughtreatment. Damage may also have been

46、caused from overtight-ening tie-down straps or from the tie-down straps not beinglocated at the same point along the pipe barrel where the pipesupports are located. The pipe should be examined for abrasiondue to (1) bells, couplings, or other joint surfaces being incontact with each other or any har

47、d object or surface; and (2)unpadded metal tie-down straps.NOTE 1This drawing is illustrative only. Trench dimensions and slopevary with depth and soil conditions.FIG. 1 Trench Cross Section TerminologyFIG. 2 Pipe TerminologyF1668 1635.2 Pipe InspectionEach load of pipe should be inspectedand invent

48、oried for conformance to product specifications andcontract documents. Pipe markings vary according to ASTMspecification, the type of pipe, and the manufacturer. Ingeneral, these markings include: ASTM specification, pipeclass or pressure designation, cell classification, pipe diameter,date of manuf

49、acture, name or trademark of the manufacturer,and plant identification. In some circumstances, the plantinspectors approval mark may also be required. Pipe intendedfor the conveyance of potable water is evaluated, tested, andcertified for use by an acceptable certifying organization whenrequired by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction. Theseal or mark of the laboratory making the evaluation should beon the pipe. Observe the unloading, uncrating, storage anddistribution of the pipe, as applicable, and inspect each pipesection for damage, such as cu
