2.1 Pipe and tubing furnished under this specification shall be manufactured from compounds in compliance with Section 1.0 above. The dimensional and performance characteristics shall conform to the requirements of the most current version of AWWA C-901 (1/2” through 3”) or C-906 (4” through 65”). Each lot of material shall be tested for melt index, density and % carbon. Upon request, the Manufacturer shall furnish test data.

2.2 Polyethylene fabricated fittings shall be manufactured from polyethylene pipe, sheet stock or molded fittings meeting the material requirements of this specification and all appropriate requirements of AWWA C-901 or AWWA C-906.



October 3, 2012

2.3 Pipe shall be pressure rated using the certified HDB from Section 1.2 and shall be

determined in accordance with the following formula:

Where DR = Dimension Ratio = D/t

P = Internal pressure, psi

S = Long term hydrostatic strength, psi (1,600)

D = Actual outside diameter, inches

t = Minimum wall thickness, inches

DF = Design Factor, dimensionless (0.5 for water @ 73.4ºF)

The Pressure Class (PC) of the polyethylene pipe and fittings shall be specified on the basis of the Working Pressure Rating (WPR) of the water system as defined in AWWA C-906. Recurring pressure surges (RS) are those that occur frequently and are inherent in the design and operation of the system such as normal pump startup or shutdown and normal valve opening and closing. Occasional pressure surges (OS) are those that occur infrequently and are usually the result of a malfunction such as pump seize-up, valve stem or pressure relief valve failure. The WPR shall be the lesser of the following:

(a) WPR = PC (b) WPR = 1.5PC – RS (c) WPR = 2.0PC – OS

The pipe’s DR and WPR shall be as specified by the project design engineer. The WPR as determined above must be equal to or greater than the working pressure of the system.

2.4 Polyethylene fittings, including custom fabrications, shall have the same internal pressure rating as the mating pipe. At the point of fusion, the wall thickness and outside diameter of the fitting shall be in accordance with AWWA C-901 or AWWA C-906 for the same pipe size.

2.5 The pipe Manufacturer’s Quality system shall be certified to be in accordance with ISO

9001:2000.

the Manufacturer’s recommended procedures: Butt fusion, Saddle fusion or Socket fusion.

3.1.2 Upon request, the Manufacturer shall provide fusion training by authorized

personnel or an authorized Representative. The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that personnel have received proper
