3623-085

1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE This standard specifies requirements with respect to the physical, mechanical and dimensional characteristics of ductile-iron pipe intended for use in water pressure piping systems of diameters 75 mm through 1600 mm for bell and spigot-joint pipe and flanged-joint pipe, and diameters 75 mm through 600 mm for mechanical-joint pipe, as well as test methods applying to these types of ductile- iron pipe. NOTES - 1 There are also mechanical-joint fittings of diameters 75 mm through 1200 mm for connecting ductileiron pipe. 2 Refer to Standard NQ 1809-300 for information on the installation of ductile-iron pipe in drinking water systems and wastewater systems. 3 Refer to ANSI/AWWA Standard C110/A21.10 and ANSI/AWWA Standard C153/A21.53 for information on the physical, mechanical and dimensional characteristics of gray cast-iron or ductile-iron fittings for use with ductile-iron pipe. 4 Ductile-iron pipe may carry liquid other than drinking water if provided with a suitable coating or lining. Consult the manufacturer on the subject. This standard is intended for conformity assessment purpose.
