Scope

1.1 These test methods cover the testing of asbestos-cement pipe for hydrostatic strength, flexural strength, crushing strength, straightness, and uncombined calcium hydroxide; they are for use in conjunction with the individual product specifications for asbestos-cement pipe.

1.2 Test methods appear in the following sections:

Section
Hydrostatic Pressure Test4
Flexural Test5
Crushing Test6
Straightness Test7
Uncombined Calcium Hydroxide Test8

1.3 Guidelines for internal and external corrosion included in Section 9 serve as an aid in determining the type of pipe which should be specified to maximize service life for a particular application.

1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
