Standard Specification for Cured-In-Place Thermosetting Resin Sewer Piping Systems

ABSTRACT
This specification covers cured-in-place thermosetting resin pipe (CIPP) with a certain measurement, equivalent diameter, for use in gravity flow systems in conveying sanitary sewage, storm water, and certain industrial wastes. This specification is suited for the evaluation and testing of materials used in the rehabilitation of existing pipes by the installation and cure of a resin-impregnated fabric liner. CIPP are classified into three types: Type I which is designed to provide chemical resistance and prevent exfiltration; Type II which is installed in a partially deteriorated existing pipe or structure and is designed to provide chemical resistance, prevent exfiltration and infiltration, and support the external hydrostatic loads due to groundwater only (and internal vacuum, where applicable), since the soil and live loads can be supported by the original conduit or structure; and Type III which is Installed in a fully deteriorated existing pipe or structure and designed to provide chemical resistance, prevent exfiltration and infiltration, and support all external hydraulic, soil, and live loads acting on the original conduit or structure. CIPP also are classified into three grades: Grade 1 as thermosetting polyester resin, Grade 2 as thermosetting polyester resin, and Grade 3 as thermosetting epoxy resin. Properties of CIPP materials such as diameter, wall thickness, chemical resistance, flexural strength, and tensile strength shall be determined by subjecting them to different tests.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers cured-in-place thermosetting resin pipe (CIPP), 4 through 132-in. (100 through 3353-mm) equivalent diameter, for use in gravity flow systems for conveying sanitary sewage, storm water, and certain industrial wastes. This specification is suited for the evaluation and testing of materials used in the rehabilitation of existing pipes by the installation and cure of a resin-impregnated fabric liner.  
1.2 This specification can also be extended to cover manholes, pump stations, wetwells, vaults, storage tanks, and other similar structures where a cured in place liner using thermosetting resin is applicable.  
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
Note 1: There are no ISO standards covering the primary subject matter of this specification.  
1.4 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 8, of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Overview

ASTM D5813-04(2018) is the internationally recognized standard specification for Cured-In-Place Thermosetting Resin Sewer Piping Systems (CIPP), published by ASTM International. This standard defines requirements for the manufacture, materials, and performance of CIPP systems, which are widely used for rehabilitation of existing sewer, storm water, and certain industrial waste pipes. CIPP technology involves the installation and curing of a resin-impregnated fabric liner within an existing conduit, extending the life and functionality of underground piping systems without the need for excavation or removal.

Applicability includes gravity flow systems with equivalent diameters between 4 and 132 inches (100–3353 mm), as well as structural rehabilitation of manholes, pump stations, vaults, storage tanks, and similar structures. The standard is essential for specifying the minimum physical, chemical, and mechanical attributes required for CIPP to ensure long-term performance in challenging underground environments.

Key Topics

  • Types and Grades of CIPP

    • Type I: Provides chemical resistance and prevents exfiltration.
    • Type II: Adds prevention of infiltration and supports external hydrostatic loads, suitable for partially deteriorated pipes.
    • Type III: Designed for fully deteriorated pipes, supporting all external hydraulic, soil, and live loads, while providing chemical resistance and preventing exfiltration and infiltration.
    • Grade 1 & 2: Thermosetting polyester resin (with grade differentiation outlined by manufacturers).
    • Grade 3: Thermosetting epoxy resin.
  • Material and Performance Requirements

    • Specified wall thickness, diameter, and length to ensure structural integrity.
    • Required chemical resistance, especially for use in sanitary sewers and industrial environments.
    • Minimum tensile and flexural strength, essential for quality control and long-term pipeline stability.
  • Testing and Quality Assurance

    • Comprehensive guidelines for sampling, dimensional verification, mechanical testing (tensile, flexural), and chemical resistance.
    • Specific practices for installing and sampling CIPP, referencing related ASTM standards for plastic pipes and composites.
  • Workmanship and Installation

    • Requirements for defect-free installations: CIPP must be free of dry spots, lifts, or delamination.
    • Defined repair and replacement protocols if installation defects are detected.

Applications

ASTM D5813 is widely adopted for the rehabilitation of aging or deteriorated underground piping in municipal, industrial, and stormwater systems. Key practical applications include:

  • Trenchless Pipeline Rehabilitation: Allows cities and contractors to restore pipeline integrity without disruptive excavation.
  • Sanitary Sewer Repairs: Ensures continued safe conveyance of municipal wastewater while preventing leakage and groundwater intrusion.
  • Industrial and Storm Water Systems: Used where chemical resistance and containment of industrial waste or stormwater are critical.
  • Structural Upgrades: Enables repair and reinforcement of not only pipelines but also associated underground structures (manholes, wetwells, vaults).

Implementing CIPP solutions following ASTM D5813 improves service life, minimizes maintenance needs, and reduces costs by preserving existing infrastructure.

Related Standards

For comprehensive pipeline and CIPP system evaluations, ASTM D5813 should be used in conjunction with related ASTM standards, including:

  • ASTM D543 – Practices for Evaluating the Resistance of Plastics to Chemical Reagents
  • ASTM D638 – Test Method for Tensile Properties of Plastics
  • ASTM D790 – Test Methods for Flexural Properties of Plastics and Electrical Insulating Materials
  • ASTM D3567 – Practice for Determining Dimensions of “Fiberglass” Pipe and Fittings
  • ASTM F1216 – Practice for Rehabilitation of Existing Pipelines and Conduits by the Inversion and Curing of a Resin-Impregnated Tube
  • ASTM F1743 – Practice for Rehabilitation of Existing Pipelines and Conduits by Pulled-in-Place Installation of CIPP

These standards provide additional guidance for material selection, quality control, installation procedures, and performance verification, ensuring that cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) solutions meet rigorous durability and safety requirements in demanding underground installations.
