ASTM D3034-21 Type PSM PVC Sewer Pipe and Fittings

Scope:

ASTM D3034-21 test method covers the properties of sewer pipes and fittings. It gives recommendations for the production of better quality pipes by testing them. It ensures the production of pipes and fittings that can help in the non-pressure drainage of sewage and surface water. The pipe size, thickness, stiffness, and strength are determined. 

Procedure:

In ASTM D3034-21 the specimen is manufactured as per the specified measurements, and quality control testing is performed. The resistance, stiffness, and tightness of the pipe are determined. The material is inspected for its quality and improved as per the purchaser’s demand. The retesting helps in getting accurate results. The method also deals with the certification and marking of the pipes.

Specimen Size:

Specimen size should be as per the requirements. The wall thickness variability in any cross-section of the pipe is given with a minimum wall thickness +12 % or less.

Data:

The method covers the certification, sampling, testing, and inspection of the specimen within the set limits. 

Conclusion:

ASTM D3034-21 test method is specifically important for the quality assurance and durability check of pipes and fittings. The pipes suitable for non-pressure drainage are detected and produced through this method.
