ASTM C301-04 - Standard Test Methods for Vitrified Clay Pipe

by ASTM, 1/1/2004

These methods cover the equipment for, and the techniques of, testing vitrified clay pipe prior to installation. Tests using whole pipe determine the resistance to crushing and hydrostatic forces. Tests using pipe fragments measure the amount of water absorption of the pipe body and the quantity of acid-soluble material that may be extracted from it. The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values stated in parentheses are for information only.
