ASTM D 1785 PVC Pipe
Size Charts
Understanding ASTM D 1785 Pipe Size Charts
Introduction
The ASTM D 1785 standard is a crucial document in the realm of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipes, providing specifications for various aspects including dimensions, tolerances, and material properties. These standards play a vital role in ensuring the compatibility and reliability of PVC pipes used in a wide range of applications, from water distribution to industrial processes.
Importance of Standardization
Standardization in PVC pipe manufacturing is imperative for several reasons. It guarantees uniformity in design, construction, and performance, making it easier to source, install, and maintain pipes. Moreover, standardized PVC pipes ensure compatibility with various fittings, valves, and other components, streamlining the assembly process.
Application Areas
ASTM D 1785 compliant PVC pipes find extensive use in various industries, including water supply systems, irrigation, chemical handling, and more. They are recognized for their corrosion resistance, durability, and ease of installation.

A The minimum is the lowest wall thickness of the pipe at any cross section. The maximum permitted wall thickness, at any cross section, is the minimum wall thickness plus the stated tolerance. All tolerances are on the plus side of the minimum requirement.
B These dimensions conform to nominal IPS dimensions, with the exception that Schedule 120 wall thickness for pipe sizes 1⁄2 to 31⁄2in. (12.5 to 87.5 mm), inclusive, are special PVC plastic pipe sizes.
