ASTM F2764/F2764M-23 PDF

Overview

ASTM F2764/F2764M-23 is the globally recognized standard specification developed by ASTM International for polypropylene (PP) corrugated double and triple wall pipe and fittings, covering nominal inside diameters from 6 inches to 60 inches (150 mm to 1500 mm). This specification sets forth material, manufacturing, performance, and testing requirements to ensure the production of durable and structurally reliable PP piping systems specifically designed for underground non-pressure sanitary sewer applications. Both double wall and triple wall pipe constructions are addressed, and all products must be installed in line with ASTM Practice D2321 for proper underground placement.

Key Topics

• Pipe Types Covered
  • Double wall pipes: Corrugated exterior with a smooth interior liner.
  • Triple wall pipes: Smooth interior and exterior liners with an annular corrugated profile wall in between.
• Material Requirements
  • High-quality polypropylene resins, either colored (with UV stabilizers) or black (with specified carbon black content).
  • Permits manufacturer rework material if it meets all physical property requirements.
• Dimensional and Structural Criteria
  • Covers inside diameters from 6 in. to 60 in. [150 mm to 1500 mm].
  • Specifies minimum inside diameters, wall thickness, and pipe stiffness at 5% deflection.
• Testing and Performance
  • Pipes and fittings must pass standardized tests for impact strength, flattening, creep rupture, and tensile creep modulus.
  • Joint performance and watertightness verified per related ASTM specifications.
• Marking and Quality Assurance
  • Product must be clearly marked with standard designation, dimensions, wall type, manufacturer details, and date of manufacture for traceability.

Applications

ASTM F2764/F2764M-23 pipes and fittings are engineered for underground gravity-flow, non-pressure sanitary sewer systems, offering advantages of strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. Their use is ideal in:

• Municipal and residential sanitary sewage collection systems
• Industrial facilities requiring reliable wastewater conveyance
• Infrastructure projects where long-term material performance and watertight integrity are essential

Double wall and triple wall PP pipes deliver high structural stability and flexibility, beneficial for varied soil and traffic load conditions. This specification’s focus on robust jointing systems ensures watertightness, critical for protecting groundwater and maintaining environmental compliance.
