This specification covers acrylonitrile-butadi
ene-styrene (ABS) plastic pipe produced by single extrusion or simultaneous multiple coextrusion, in Schedule 40 and 80 sizes and pressure-rated for water. Included are criteria for classifying ABS plastic pipe materials and ABS plastic pipe, a system of nomenclature for ABS plastic pipe, and requirements and test methods for materials, workmanship, dimensions, sustained pressure, burst pressure, and extrusion quality. The pipe shall be homogeneous throughout and free of visible cracks, holes, foreign inclusions, or other defects. It shall be as uniform as commercially practicable in color, opacity, density, and other physical properties. The pipe shall not fail, balloon, burst, or weep upon sustained and burst pressure testing in water.
