ASTM D3034 for Type PSM PVC Sewer Pipe and Fittings

ASTM D3034 test method determines the 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 (PVC) sewer pipe and fittings. The final results of this method are displayed keeping in view the international standards and inch-pound units.

Scope:

ASTM D3034 test method covers the properties of sewer pipes and fittings. It gives recommendations for the production of better quality pipes by testing them. In addition with 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 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 demand. The retesting helps in getting accurate results. This method also deals with the certification and marking of pipes.

Specimen Size:

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

Data:

ASTM D3034 test method includes certification, sampling, testing, and inspection of the specimen within the set limits.

Conclusion:

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