Industry Guidelines - for
PVC or both PE and PVC
POP101:
PVC PRESSURE PIPES DESIGN FOR DYNAMIC STRESSES
|
|
This guide is intended to assist in the selection of PVC-U, PVC-M and PVC-O pipes in applications involving transient and cyclic operating pressures. Issue 1.3 is currently available.
|
POP101POP102:
SOLVENT CEMENT JOINTING OF PVC PIPE
|
|
In this guide there is a comprehensive series of instructions detailing how to successfully make a solvent cement joint. Prior to those instructions there is an explanation of the correct products and materials that must be used in this process. Issue 1.2 is currently available.
|
POP103:
DEPTH OF ENGAGEMENT FOR PVC PIPES
|
|
The objective of this Guideline is to describe in detail two methods that have been used to determine minimum depth of engagement for PVC pipes with elastomeric seal joints used for either pressure or non-pressure applications. Issue 1.0 is currently available.
This document is supplemented with an Excel spreadsheet demonstrating the calculations.

POP103 CalculationsPOP104:
PVC PIPE EQUIVALENCE
|
|
This guide highlights the areas in which the same class PVC-M or PVC-O pipe is not equivalent to PVC-U pipe and so help the user select the appropriate class. Issue 1.1 is currently available.
|
POP105:
PVC PIPES IN BORE CASINGS
|
|
In this guide there are details of PVC pressure pipe use for other applications such as water bore casings. In this application, PVC pressure pipe is used to form the outside casing of a water bore drilled vertically down into the ground where the loads on the pipe are primarily external. Issue 1.0 is currently available.
|
POP201:
RESISTANCE OF PLASTICS PIPES AND FITTINGS TO WATER AND WASTEWATER CHEMICALS
|
|
This document addresses the resistance of non-metallic pipe and components to chemicals commonly used in water and wastewater systems. Issue 1.0 is currently available.
|
POP202:
PVC AND PE PRESSURE PIPE INSTALLATION ON CURVED ALIGNMENTS
|
|
This document provides general guidance regarding the suitable methods to successfully curve PE and PVC pipe. Issue 1.0 is currently available.
|
POP203:
IDENTIFICATION OF BURIED PIPE SYSTEMS
|
|
This document examines the main forms of pipeline identification and collates the available information of external colour of PVC and PE pipe for buried network infrastructure. It is an informative document only and should not be interpreted as a specification. Issue 1.0 is currently available.
|
POP204:
EXPECTED SERVICE LIFE OF ELASTOMERIC PIPE SEALS
|
|
It is accepted that the expected service life of plastics pipes used in infrastructure work exceeds 100 years. This document considers whether it is reasonable to expect elastomeric seals used in both water and sewerage applications to match this performance. Issue 1.0 is currently available.
|
POP205:
WATER JET CLEANING OF PLASTICS PIPES
|
|
These guidelines have been prepared for the jetting of plastics pipe systems, to provide information based on experience and research, as to the maximum pressures that may be used to avoid damage to plastics pipes in good condition. They do not provide detailed instructions on water jet cleaning procedures, and are not intended to replace the pipe manufacturers’ specific recommendations, which should be sought in the first instance. Issue 1.2 is currently available.
|
POP206:
THERMAL INSULATION OF HOT WATER PIPES FOR PLUMBING APPLICATIONS
|
|
The rate of the heat loss of hot water carried through pipe-work is affected by many factors including the thermal conductivity of the pipe material. This Guideline calculates the R value of the pipe and insulation by taking into account the dimensions and thermal conductivities of the pipe and insulation. The heat transfer coefficients of the water flowing through the pipe and of the air on the outside of the insulation are not considered, and therefore the true heat loss of the system is not defined by the calculated R value. Issue 1.0 is currently available.
