30、pipe material des-ignation code shall consist of the abbreviation for the type ofplastic (PE) followed by Arabic numerals which describe theshort term properties in accordance with applicable Specifica-tion D3350, the hydrostatic design stress for water at 73.4F(23C) in units of 100 psi with any dec
31、imal figures dropped.Where the hydrostatic design stress code contains less than twofigures, a zero is used before the number. Thus, a completematerial designation code shall consist of PE and four figuresfor PE materials. For example, PE2708 is a grade PE27polyethylene with an 800psi design stress
32、for water at 73.4F(23C). The hydrostatic design stresses for gas are not used inthis designation code.4Available from American National Standards Institute (ANSI), 25 W. 43rd St.,4th Floor, New York, NY 10036, http:/www.ansi.org.5Available from Standardization Documents Order Desk, DODSSP, Bldg. 4,S

It is calculated by dividing the s

Materials4.1 GeneralThe PE used to make pipe and fittings shall bePE or reworked PE (see 4.2 and 4.4) and shall have a PlasticsPipe Institute (PPI) long-term hydrostatic design stress andhydrostatic design basis rating.4.2 Rework MaterialClean rework material of th
37、e samecommercial designation, generated from the manufacturersown pipe and fitting production shall not be used unless thepipe and fitting produced meet all the requirements of thisspecification. The use of these rework materials shall begoverned by the requirements of 4.3 and PPI TN-30/2006. Inpipe
38、, rework materials shall be limited to a maximum of 30 %by weight.NOTE 1The requirements for rework materials herein are intended toincorporate prudent specifications to ensure that the potential for contami-nation in gas piping products, that meet this specification, is reduced to theextent possibl
39、e. It is imperative to emphasize that rework materials havenot been identified as the cause of any field failures. The requirements forrework materials were developed by the consensus of interested partiesincluding product manufacturers, gas utility companies, and regulatoryagencies.4.3 Documentatio

42、3406, PE 3408, PE 3608, PE 3710, and PE 4608have been removed from D2513. Elimination of these materials does notaffect the pipelines that are in service. They can still be used for gasdistribution. The main reason for removing these materials from thisstandard is to reflect the current state of the
