ASTM F2019-22

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE 4.1 This practice is for use by designers and specifiers, regulatory agencies, owners and inspection organizations who are involved in the rehabilitation of conduits through the use of a resin-impregnated glass fiber tube, pulled in place through an existing pipe or conduit, subsequently inflated and then cured by a designed exposure to UV-light. As for any standard practice, modifications may be required for specific job conditions. SCOPE 1.1 This practice covers the procedures for the reconstruction of pipelines and conduits (4 in. to 72 in. (100 mm to 1830 mm) diameter) by the pulled-in place installation of a resin-impregnated, glass fiber tube into an existing pipe or conduit followed by its inflation with compressed air pressure (see Fig. 1) to expand it firmly against the wall surface of the host structure. The photo-initiated resin system in the tube is then cured by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. When cured, the finished cured-in-place pipe will be a continuous and tight fitting pipe within a pipe. This type of reconstruction process can be used in a variety of gravity flow applications such as sanitary sewers, storm sewers, process piping, electrical conduits, and ventilation systems.

The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
