ASTM D2315-80 (1984) PDF

Full title and description

ASTM D2315-80 (reapproved 1984) — Methods of Testing Laminated‑Wall Bituminized Fiber Pipe. Test procedures and apparatus descriptions for evaluating physical and performance characteristics of multi‑ply, bitumen‑impregnated laminated fiber drain and sewer pipe.

Abstract

This test methods standard specifies procedures for conditioning, sampling and testing laminated‑wall bituminized fiber pipe (laminated/spiral or convolute construction) to determine dimensional tolerances, flattening/deflection resistance, three‑edge‑bearing or crushing strength, absorption and certain chemical/heat resistances used in drainage and sewer applications. It was issued as D2315‑80 and reapproved in 1984.

Scope

The standard covers laboratory test methods for laminated‑wall bituminized fiber pipe used in non‑pressure drainage and sewer systems. Methods include sampling from production or shipments, specimen preparation and tests to determine dimensional compliance, resistance to flattening, three‑edge‑bearing (crushing) strength, water absorption/wafer absorption, boiling/heat resistance and resistance to certain chemicals/kerosene as appropriate for service conditions. These methods are intended to be used in conjunction with ASTM specifications for these pipe products.

Key topics and requirements

• Sampling: selection of lengths/lot sampling rules and condition of specimens prior to testing.
• Dimensional checks: inside diameter, wall thickness and acceptable tolerances.
• Flattening/deflection resistance: test procedure and acceptance criteria for loss of diameter under a prescribed load.
• Three‑edge‑bearing / crushing strength: method to measure load‑bearing capacity (wet and dry conditions where specified).
• Water/wafer absorption and boiling/heat resistance: methods to quantify short‑term moisture and thermal effects on strength.
• Chemical/kerosene resistance: exposure tests and pass/fail criteria for impairment of impregnant or structural integrity.
• References and normative cross‑references to other ASTM pipe specifications and fittings standards for bituminized fiber pipe.

Typical use and users

Used by pipe manufacturers, quality control laboratories, material test laboratories, municipal/public works engineers, spec writers and procurement teams to verify manufacturing conformance and performance characteristics of laminated bituminized fiber drainage and sewer pipe. As a methods standard, it supported enforcement of product specifications and purchase/acceptance testing.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ASTM D2315‑80 (R1984) is a test methods standard titled "Methods of Testing Laminated‑Wall Bituminized Fiber Pipe" that describes laboratory procedures for evaluating performance and physical characteristics of laminated bituminized fiber drain and sewer pipe.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers sampling, specimen preparation and specific tests such as dimensional checks, flattening/deflection tests, three‑edge‑bearing (crushing) strength, moisture/absorption and certain chemical or heat resistance tests relevant to laminated bituminized fiber pipe. These methods were intended to be used with the product specifications for acceptance and quality control.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, independent test laboratories, municipal/public works engineers, specification writers and procurement/QC personnel who need standardized test procedures for bituminized fiber drainage and sewer pipe.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The document is withdrawn (withdrawal recorded circa 1990). Several related ASTM specifications for bituminized fiber pipe were themselves revised, superseded or withdrawn in the 1990s and 2000s; users should consult current ASTM publications or successors (for example later editions of pipe specifications such as D1862 and related documents) for up‑to‑date requirements.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — D2315 was part of a family of ASTM documents addressing bituminized fiber pipe (specifications for homogeneous and laminated pipe, perforated pipe, fittings and installation practices). It is cross‑referenced by and intended to be used alongside those product specifications.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Bituminized fiber pipe; laminated‑wall; drain and sewer pipe; flattening resistance; three‑edge‑bearing (crushing) strength; water absorption; chemical resistance; ASTM test methods.
