ASTM F1734-19<\/h3>\n

Historical Standard: Standard Practice for Qualification of a Combination of Squeeze Tool, Pipe, and Squeeze-Off Procedures to Avoid Long-Term Damage in Polyethylene (PE) Gas Pipe<\/h4>\n
\n

ASTM F1734<\/h4>\n

Scope<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

1.1<\/span> This practice covers qualifying a combination of a squeeze tool, a polyethylene gas pipe, and a squeeze-off procedure to avoid long-term damage in polyethylene gas pipe. Qualifying is conducted by examining the inside and outside surfaces of pipe specimens at and near the squeeze to determine the existence of features indicative of long-term damage. If indicative features are absent, sustained pressure testing in accordance with Specification D2513<\/span> is conducted to confirm the viability of the squeeze-off process. For assistance with specimen examination, an Adjunct, ADJF17342<\/span><\/span>, is available from ASTM.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

1.2<\/span> This practice is appropriate for any combination of squeeze tool, PE gas pipe and squeeze-off procedure, and is particularly appropriate for pre-1975 Polyethylene (PE) pipe, and for pipe sizes of 8 in. or above, because of a greater possibility of long-term damage.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

1.3<\/span> This practice is for use by squeeze-tool manufacturers, pipe manufacturers and gas utilities to qualify squeeze tools made in accordance with Specification F1563<\/span>; and squeeze-off procedures in accordance with Guide F1041<\/span> with pipe manufactured in accordance with Specification D2513<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

1.4<\/span> Governing codes and project specifications should be consulted. Nothing in this practice should be construed as recommending practices or systems at variance with governing codes and project specifications.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

1.5<\/span> Where applicable in this guide, \u201cpipe\u201d shall mean \u201cpipe and tubing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

1.6<\/span> Units\u2014<\/span>The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

1.7<\/span> 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.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

1.8<\/span> 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.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
