This specification covers rigid plastic compounds intended for use in making nonpressure piping products composed of (1) poly(vinyl chloride) polymer, (2) chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) polymer, or (3) vinyl chloride copolymers, and the necessary compound ingredients. The compounding ingredients may consist of lubricants; stabilizers; nonpoly(vinyl chloride) resin modifiers; colorants or pigments, or both; fibrous or nonfibrous reinforcements; or fillers. The requirements in this specification are intended for the quality control of compounds used to manufacture pipe or fittings intended for nonpressure use. Materials shall be classified according to cell limits: Cell Class 0; Cell Class 1; Cell Class 2; Cell Class 3; Cell Class 4; Cell Class 5; Cell Class 6; Cell Class 7; and Cell Class 8. Conditioning; test conditions; tensile strength and modulus of elasticity; deflection temperature; and impact resistance tests shall be performed to meet the requirements specified.
