ASTM F1947-21A - Standard Practice for Installation of Folded Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) Pipe into Existing Sewers and Conduits

1.1 This practice describes the procedures for the rehabilitation of sewer lines and conduits with nominal diameters between 4 in. and 30 in. (100 mm and 750 mm) by the insertion of folded PVC pipe, which is heated, pressurized, and expanded against the interior surface of the existing pipe with either a mechanical rounding device or steam pressure. The finished formed PVC pipe will be continuous and conform to the existing pipe. This rehabilitation process can be used in a variety of non–pressure applications, such as: sanitary sewers, storm sewers, and process piping.
