3. Terminology
3.1 Definitions—Definitions are in accordance with Termi-
nology F412, and abbreviations are in accordance with Termi-
nology D1600, unless otherwise specified.
3.2 The gas industry terminology used in this specification
is in accordance with ANSI B31.8 or OPS 49 CFR Part 192,
unless otherwise indicated.
3.3 The term pipe used herein refers to both pipe and tubing
unless specifically stated otherwise.
3.4 re-rounding equipment—equipment used to reform the
pipe and permanently reduce ovality to 5 % or less.
3.5 rounding equipment—equipment, devices, clamps, and
so forth, used to temporarily hold the pipe round while
out-of-roundness measurements are made, or a joining proce-
dure (heat fusion, electrofusion, or mechanical) is performed.
3.6 pipe material designated code—the pipe material des-
ignation code shall consist of the abbreviation for the type of
plastic (PE) followed by Arabic numerals which describe the
short term properties in accordance with applicable Specifica-
tion D3350, the hydrostatic design stress for water at 73.4°F
(23°C) in units of 100 psi with any decimal figures dropped.
Where the hydrostatic design stress code contains less than two
figures, a zero is used before the number. Thus, a complete
material designation code shall consist of PE and four figures
for PE materials. For example, PE2708 is a grade PE27
polyethylene with an 800psi design stress for water at 73.4°F
(23°C). The hydrostatic design stresses for gas are not used in
this designation code.

3.7 dimension ratio (DR)—the ratio of pipe diameter to wall
thickness. It is calculated by dividing the specified outside
diameter of the pipe, in inches (mm), by the minimum specified
wall thickness, in inches (mm). The standard dimension ratio
(SDR) is a common numbering system which is derived from
the ANSI preferred number series R 10.
3.8 toe-in—a small reduction of the outside diameter at the
cut end of a length of thermoplastic pipe.
4. Materials
4.1 General—The PE used to make pipe and fittings shall be
PE or reworked PE (see 4.2 and 4.4) and shall have a Plastics
Pipe Institute (PPI) long-term hydrostatic design stress and
hydrostatic design basis rating.
4.2 Rework Material—Clean rework material of the same
commercial designation, generated from the manufacturer’s
own pipe and fitting production shall not be used unless the
pipe and fitting produced meet all the requirements of this
specification. The use of these rework materials shall be
governed by the requirements of 4.3 and PPI TN-30/2006. In
pipe, rework materials shall be limited to a maximum of 30 %
by weight.
NOTE 1—The requirements for rework materials herein are intended to
incorporate prudent specifications to ensure that the potential for contami-
nation in gas piping products, that meet this specification, is reduced to the
extent possible. It is imperative to emphasize that rework materials have
not been identified as the cause of any field failures. The requirements for
rework materials were developed by the consensus of interested parties
including product manufacturers, gas utility companies, and regulatory
agencies.
4.3 Documentation—A documentation system to allow for
traceability of raw materials including percentage and material
classification (or designation, if applicable) of rework materials
used in the manufacture of the pipe product meeting the
requirements of this specification shall exist and be supplied to
the purchaser, if requested.
4.4 Classification—Polyethylene materials suitable for use
in the manufacture of pipe and fittings under this specification
shall meet Table 1 requirements for the applicable pipe
material designation code.
NOTE 2—References and material descriptions for PE 2306, PE 2406,
PE 2606, PE 3306, PE 3406, PE 3408, PE 3608, PE 3710, and PE 4608
have been removed from D2513. Elimination of these materials does not
affect the pipelines that are in service. They can still be used for gas
distribution. The main reason for removing these materials from this
standard is to reflect the current state of the art in PE gas distribution
piping.
4.5 Slow Crack Growth Resistance—Use Test Method
F1473 on compression molded plaques at a stress of 2.4 MPa
based on the unnotched area and a test temperature of 80°C.
Notch depth shall be in accordance with Table 1 in Test
Method F1473. Materials shall meet the Slow Crack Growth
Resistance requirements in Table 1.
4.6 Additive Classes—Polyethylene material compounds
shall meet Specification D3350 code C or E. Code C material
compounds shall have 2 to 3 percent carbon black. Code E
material compounds shall be yellow with UV stabilizer.
4.7 Thermal Stability—The PE material shall contain suffi-
cient antioxidant so that the minimum induction temperature
shall be 428°F (220°C) when tested in accordance with
Specification D3350. The sample shall be representative of the
cross section of the pipe or fittings.
4.8 Hydrostatic Design Basis (HDB) Substantiation —The
HDB for PE materials at 73°F (23°C) shall be substantiated to
be linear to 50 years as per Test Method D2837, Section 5.7.
NOTE 3—The long-term hydrostatic strength at 50 years in accordance
with Test Method D2837 is not to be used for any pressure rating
calculations. The MAOP is still calculated using the HDB obtained from
Test Method D2837 long-term hydrostatic strength at 100 000 h. PE
compounds with a thermoplastic pipe material designation code of PE
2708 and PE 4710 as well as those compounds denoted in PPI TR-4 with
an asterisk (*) meet the substantiation requirement of Test Method D2837.
4.9 Resistance to Rapid Crack Propagation (RCP) for
Material —The PE material classification (formulation) used in
the manufacture of pipe and fittings under this specification
shall be tested for resistance to failure by RCP in accordance
with the procedures set forth in ISO 13477 (S4 Test) or ISO
13478 (Full Scale Test (FST)). The data obtained shall be made
available upon request without limitations on disclosure, and
shall not subsequently be subject to disclosure limitations when
used by others. The values obtained are applicable to all pipes
with the wall thickness of the pipe tested and all thinner wall
pipes. In case of conflict, the RCP results of ISO 13478 shall
apply.
NOTE 4—While S4 or FST testing of any combination of outside
diameter and SDR is permitted in fulfillment of the requirement for testing

PE material resistance to RCP, S4 testing of SDR 9 or SDR 11 PE pipe
specimens is currently the most common industry practice.
NOTE 5—Caution should be exercised in applying the RCP test results
obtained on one SDR or DR of pipe across a series of pipe SDR’s or DR’s
produced from the same PE material classification (formulation). Indus-
trial research to clarify the relationships between FST and S4 testing is
ongoing at this time, particularly as it relates to the applicability of RCP
test results obtained on one SDR or DR of pipe to other SDR’s or DR’s of
pipe produced from the same PE material classification (formulation).
Consult the resin manufacturer regarding the applicability of RCP test
results across diameters or SDR’s, or both. Additional information
regarding the use of RCP data is presented in ISO 4437.
4.10 UV Resistance—PE materials shall be Code C or E as
defined in Specification D3350. Code C material shall contain
2 to 3 percent well dispersed carbon black, and due to the
absorptive properties of the carbon black, is considered to be
stabilized against deterioration from unprotected exposure to
UV for not less than 10 years. Code E material shall be
stabilized and protected against deterioration from unprotected
UV exposure for not less than 3 years.
4.10.1 PE compounds designated as Code C containing 2 to
3% carbon black shall be considered stabilized against dete-
rioration for not less than 10 years without the need for
additional testing.
4.10.2 PE compounds designated as Code E shall be con-
sidered stabilized against deterioration from unprotected expo-
sure to UV for not less than 3 years when meeting the
following criteria following exposure to actual outdoor (natural
sunlight) weathering for up to 3 years in accordance with
Practice D1435 or accelerated weathering in accordance with
Practice D2565 and Practice G155 for the equivalent of at least
3 years natural sunlight: (a) all tensile bar specimens tested in
accordance with Test Method D638 shall have an elongation at
break value greater than 400% indicating the equivalency of
the PE material before and after UV exposure against the
elongation at break requirement in Specification D3350; and
(b) all tensile bar specimens tested in accordance with Test
Method D638 shall retain a minimum of 50% of their original
elongation at break values. Test data shall be made available
from the manufacturer upon request.
NOTE 6—Studies have shown HDPE exposed to Xenon Arc via Practice
G155-A Cycle 1 give approximately 4.4 times the acceleration to outdoor
Florida exposure. Therefore approximately 2000 hours Xenon Arc testing
would equal about 1-year outdoor exposure in Florida or 2-years in
southern Canada.
NOTE 7—The determination for UV resistance is often based on
measuring the ductility properties of the pipe material exposed to artificial
weathering. These requirements and test methods are based on expected
UV exposure levels in North America. Alternate requirements and
alternate determination methods may be appropriate in other regions of the
world. As an example ISO 4437 standard requires a minimum resistance
to an accumulation of 3.6GJ for non-black polyethylene materials.
4.11 Qualification for LPG Service—Materials that qualify
for natural gas service and that carry a recommended HDB for
140°F in accordance with 5.6, also qualify for LPG service
without the need for further testing.
NOTE 8—The terms LPG and LPG gas are synonymous and only apply
to a particular kind of fuel gas. For compositions and properties of LPG
gases see NFPA 58, Appendix B.
