(Specification)Standard Specification for Corrugated Polyethylene Pipe and Fittings for Mine Leachate, Heap Leach Aeration and Other Mining Applications
Standard Specification for Corrugated Polyethylene Pipe and Fittings for Mine Leachate, Heap Leach Aeration and Other Mining Applications
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers requirements and test methods for materials, workmanship, dimensions, perforations, pipe stiffness, elongation, joint separation resistance, quality of extruded polyethylene, brittleness, testing, and marking of corrugated polyethylene (PE) pipe and fittings for mine drainage, leachate collection, heap leach aeration, and transmission pipe. It covers nominal sizes 50 mm (2 in.) to 250 mm (10 in.) in single-wall profile, and 75 mm (3 in.) to 1500 mm (60 in.) in double-wall profile.
1.2 This specification covers single profile wall, annular extruded corrugated polyethylene pipe as depicted in Fig. 1, and double wall, annular extruded corrugated polyethylene pipe as depicted in Fig. 2.

FIG. 2 Typical Double Wall Profile Cross-Section
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to inch-pound units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.4 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Section 9, 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.
