3624-135 (2000)

1 PURPOSE AND SCOPe The purpose of this standard is to establish the requirements concerning the characteristics and test methods for unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) [PVC-U] pipe with smooth inside walls, perforated or not, of diameters from 200 mm to 600 mm. This standard applies to smooth outside wall pipe whether single wall extruded pipe or coextruded wall pipe, to dual-wall corrugated pipe and to corrugated open profile pipe either spiral or ring-shaped ribbed. These pipes are used underground to carry gravity flowing liquids such as sewage lines and soil drainage. This standard also applies to fittings* manufactured from sections of smooth outside wall or open profile pipes, of 100 mm in diameter or larger used to join the pipes of this standard together or with pipes as described in Standard NQ 3624-130. NOTE - Upon request from the designer, the manufacturer can provide all the necessary technical data and specifications of the products being considered in the design. * In this standard, the term "fitting" will be used to mean "a fitting manufactured from pipes sections".
