ASTM D2290: Standard Test Method for Apparent Hoop Tensile Strength of Plastic or Reinforced Plastic Pipe

This test method covers the determination of the comparative apparent tensile strength of most plastic products utilizing a split disk or ring segment test fixture, when tested under defined conditions of pretreatment, temperature, humidity, and test machine speed. This test method is applicable to reinforced-thermosetting resin pipe regardless of fabrication method. This test method also is applicable to extruded and molded thermoplastic pipe.

Procedure A is used for reinforced-thermosetting resin pipe; Procedure B is used for thermoplastic pipe of any size; Procedure C is used for thermoplastic pipe with nominal diameter of 41/2 in. (110 mm) and greater. Procedure D is used for polyethylene pipe with a nominal diameter of 14 in. (350 mm) and greater and preferably having wall thickness 1 in. (25 mm) and greater. Procedure E is used for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe with a nominal diameter of 14 in. (350 mm) and greater and having wall thickness 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) and greater.

Application of ASTM D2290 in industries: 

It is used by any industry in construction, water management, and oil and gas, which is

to ensure the mechanical performance of plastic pipes, especially their hoop tensile

strength, thus ensuring durability and enduring stress in real applications.

What Materials need be tested with ASTM D2290? 

It tests thermoplastic and thermoset materials, including PVC, HDPE, and FRP, for

strength under hoop stresses. Their performance in handling inner fluid pressures

without failure or excessive deformation is ensured.
