UnitedTest ASTM D3034 Internal pressure Test Machine PSM Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) Sewer Pipe and Fittings specification covers requirements and test methods for materials, dimensions, workmanship, flattening resistance, impact resistance, pipe stiffness, extrusion quality, joining systems and a form of marking for type PSM poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) sewer pipe and fittings. The pipe and fittings shall be homogeneous throughout and free from visible cracks, holes, foreign inclusions, or other injurious defects. The socket diameters, socket depth, wall thickness, pipe flattening, impact resistance, pipe stiffness, joint tightness, and extrusion quality shall be tested to meet the requirements prescribed. 

Procedure:

In ASTM D3034 the specimen is manufactured as per the specified measurements, and quality control testing is performed. The resistance, stiffness, and tightness of the pipe are determined. The material is inspected for its quality and improved as per the purchaser’s demand. The retesting helps in getting accurate results. The method also deals with the certification and marking of the pipes.Specimen Size:

Specimen size should be as per the requirements. The wall thickness variability in any cross-section of the pipe is given with a minimum wall thickness +12 % or less.

Data:

The method covers the certification, sampling, testing, and inspection of the specimen within the set limits. 

Conclusion:

ASTM D3034 test method is specifically important for the quality assurance and durability check of pipes and fittings. The pipes suitable for non-pressure drainage are detected and produced through this method.
