Standard Specification for Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyethylene (PE-GF) Spiral Wound Large Diameter Pipe

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers requirements and test methods for materials, dimensions, workmanship, joining systems, and marking for large diameter, 12 in. [300 mm] and larger, inside diameter controlled glass fiber reinforced polyethylene (PE-GF) spiral wound pipe with electrofusion joints. The piping is intended for new construction and renewal of existing piping systems used for the transport of water, slurries, municipal sewage, domestic sewage, effluents, etc., in pressure systems.
Note 1: Pipe produced to this specification should be installed in accordance with Practice D2774 or F1668, where applicable, and with the manufacturer’s recommendations.  
1.2 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents: therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.  
1.3 All pipes produced under this specification are pressure-rated.  
1.4 This specification includes criteria for choice of raw material and test methods for evaluation of raw material, together with performance requirements and test methods for determining conformance with the requirements.  
1.5 In referee decisions, the SI units shall be used for metric-sized pipe and inch-pound units for pipe sized per ANSI (ANSI B 36.10).  
1.6 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.  
1.7 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 F2720/F2720M-20 sets the standard specification for glass fiber reinforced polyethylene (PE-GF) spiral wound large diameter pipes with electrofusion joints. Developed by ASTM International, this specification addresses the requirements for materials, dimensions, joining systems, marking, and testing for pipes with a controlled inside diameter of 12 inches (300 mm) and larger. The pipes are designed for use in the construction and rehabilitation of pressurized piping systems for transporting water, slurries, sewage, effluents, and similar fluids.

Key Topics

  • Materials & Construction
    • Specifies PE-GF composite structure for high strength and durability.
    • Covers the use of short glass fiber reinforcements within polyethylene.
    • Ensures materials, including colorants and additives, meet performance tests for density, tensile strength, and hydrostatic design basis.
  • Dimensions
    • Provides detailed size and wall thickness requirements for both inch and metric-based systems, ensuring compatibility and standardization.
    • Out-of-roundness and laying length specifications support consistent pipe quality and ease of installation.
  • Joining System
    • Details requirements for electrofusion joints, either as integral bell/spigot ends or couplings, promoting reliable, leak-proof connections during installation.
  • Testing & Quality Assurance
    • Mandates various test methods (such as ASTM D638 for tensile properties, D790 for flexural properties) to verify compliance.
    • Includes sustained pressure tests at ambient and elevated temperatures to assess performance in real-world conditions.
    • Sets forth inspection, marking, and sampling procedures for verifiable quality assurance.

Applications

Glass fiber reinforced polyethylene spiral wound pipes compliant with ASTM F2720/F2720M-20 offer significant advantages for a range of infrastructure and industrial projects:

  • Municipal Water and Sewage Systems
    • Transport of potable water, greywater, municipal sewage, and stormwater.
  • Industrial Slurries & Effluent Management
    • Suitable for conveying abrasive slurries and industrial effluents in pressure systems thanks to enhanced strength and chemical resistance.
  • Infrastructure Rehabilitation
    • Ideal for the renewal and relining of existing underground or above-ground pipes, minimizing disruption and enabling cost-effective upgrades.
  • Large-Scale Civil Engineering Projects
    • Reliable choice for gravity and low-pressure drainage of surface water in tunnels, highways, and urban environments.

Key benefits include:

  • Corrosion resistance, extending lifespan compared to traditional materials.
  • High strength-to-weight ratio, facilitating easier handling and lowering installation costs.
  • Flexible installation, including underground, above-ground, and trenchless methods.

Related Standards

Several referenced standards intersect with or support ASTM F2720/F2720M-20, ensuring harmonization across the industry and facilitating compliance with international best practices:

  • ASTM D2774: Practice for Underground Installation of Thermoplastic Pressure Piping
  • ASTM F1668: Guide for Construction Procedures for Buried Plastic Pipe
  • ASTM D638: Test Method for Tensile Properties of Plastics
  • ASTM D790: Test Methods for Flexural Properties of Plastics
  • ASTM D792: Test Methods for Density and Specific Gravity of Plastics
  • ASTM D2122: Test Method for Determining Dimensions of Thermoplastic Pipe and Fittings
  • ASTM D3895: Test Method for Oxidative-Induction Time of Polyolefins
  • ASTM F1290: Practice for Electrofusion Joining Polyolefin Pipe and Fittings
  • ANSI B36.10: Standard Dimensions of Steel Pipe
  • ISO 13479: Polyolefin pipes - Determination of resistance to slow crack growth

Organizations and engineers specifying glass fiber reinforced PE pipes should reference these standards for design, installation, and quality control parameters.


ASTM F2720/F2720M-20 is a critical resource for manufacturers, designers, and contractors aiming to deliver durable, high-performing PE-GF spiral wound pipe infrastructure in water, wastewater, and industrial pipeline projects. Proper application of this standard ensures regulatory compliance, safety, and long-term system reliability.
