Abstract: The success of ihe Plastics Pipe Institute Hydrostatic Stress Committee in administering the rating of plastic pipe compositions using ASTM Method D 2837, Obtaining Hydrostatic Design Basis for Thermoplastic Pipe Materials, has brought and maintained order to the apphcalion of plastic pipe in pressure uses. Based on twenty years of experience with this method, we found, however, that improvements are needed and, in this paper, describe a method which offers several of these needed refinements. This paper describes a method for rating polyethylene plastic piping systems which is being considered by Code and Specification bodies in North America and in Europe. The proposed method shows promise for supplementing ASTM Method D 2837.
