B137 B PACKAGE-17 Consists of: B137.0-17 - Definitions, general requirements, and methods of testing for thermoplastic pressure piping Preface This is the tenth edition of CSA B137.0, Definitions, general requirements, and methods of testing for thermoplastic pressure piping. It supersedes the previous editions published in 2013, 2009, 2005, 2002, 1999, 1993, 1986, 1981, and 1973. This Standard was initially published as part of CSA B137 Series-17, Thermoplastic pressure piping compendium. It was reissued as a stand-alone Standard in January 2019. CSA B137.0 provides requirements and test methods that are common to some or all of the Standards of the CSA B137 series. Wherever possible, individual Standards make reference to the relevant clauses in CSA B137.0. Scope 1.1 This Standard specifies requirements for thermoplastic pressure piping. It includes reference publications, definitions, abbreviations, general requirements for materials, manufactured pipe and fittings, relevant test methods, and marking requirements. Note: The terms "pipe" and "piping", as well as "tube" and "tubing", are used interchangeably in the CSA B137 Series. 1.2 This Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with one of the other Standards in the CSA B137 Series to form a complete Standard for a particular product. 1.3 In this Standard, "shall" is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; "should" is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and "may" is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard. Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.
