CSA B137.0:20 - Definitions, general requirements, and methods of testing for thermoplastic pressure piping

Preface

This is the eleventh edition of CSA B137.0, Definitions, general requirements, and methods of testing for thermoplastic pressure piping. It supersedes the previous editions published in 2017, 2013, 2009, 2005, 2002, 1999, 1993, 1986, 1981, and 1973.

While earlier editions of this Standard were published as part of the CSA B137 Series, Thermoplastic pressure piping compendium, the tenth edition was reissued as a stand-alone Standard in January 2019. The compendium format has been discontinued.

CSA B137.0 provides requirements and test methods that are common to some or all of the Standards of the CSA B137 series. Wherever possible, individual Standards make reference to the relevant clauses in CSA B137.0.

The major changes in this new edition are

a) Addition of Note 2) to Clause 1.1 for the exclusion of venting of combustion gas applications;

b) Revision to the definition for polypropylene to Clause 3;

c) Clarification of test temperature in Clause 6.6.4.2.2; and

d) Revision to fitting marking requirements in Clause 7.2.1c).

This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.

Scope

1.1

This Standard specifies requirements for thermoplastic pressure piping. It includes reference publications, definitions, abbreviations, general requirements for materials and manufactured pipe and fittings, relevant test methods, and marking requirements.

Notes:

1) The terms pipe and piping, as well as tube and tubing, are used interchangeably in the CSA B137 Series.

2) This Standard does not specify requirements for venting of combustion gases. In Canada, ULC S636 specifies testing and marking requirements for pipe, fittings, and accessories intended for venting of combustion gases. In the United States, UL 1738 specifies testing and marking requirements for pipe, fittings, and accessories intended for venting of combustion gases.

1.2

This Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with one of the other Standards in the CSA B137 Series to form a complete Standard for a particular product.

1.3

In this Standard, shall is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; should is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and may is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard.

Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.

Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.

Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.

1.4

Values are given in SI units. Annex C provides conversion factors for inch-pound (IP) units.

CSA B137.9:20 - Polyethylene/aluminum/polyethylene (PE-AL-PE) composite pressure-pipe systems

Preface

This is the ninth edition of CSA B137.9, Polyethylene/aluminum/polyethylene (PE-AL-PE) composite pressure-pipe systems, which supersedes the previous editions published in 2017, 2013, 2009, 2005, 2002, 1999, 1998, and 1991.

While earlier editions of this Standard were published as part of the CSA B137 Series, Thermoplastic pressure piping compendium, the eighth edition was reissued as a stand-alone Standard in January 2019. The compendium format has been discontinued.

This Standard is to be used with the 2020 edition of CSA B137.0, which provides requirements and test methods that are common to some or all of the Standards of the CSA B137 series.

The major change in this new edition is the addition of B137.0 to Reference Publications in Clause 2.

This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.

Scope

1.1

This Standard covers polyethylene/aluminum/polyethylene (PE-AL-PE) macrocomposite pipe consisting of a welded aluminum tube laminated by a melt adhesive to layers of polyethylene (PE) inside and outside the aluminum tube. The pipes covered in this Standard are pressure rated for 1380 kPa at 23 °C, 1035 kPa at 60 °C, or 690 kPa at 82 °C.

Systems are intended for use in potable water distribution systems or other applications, including municipal water service lines, reclaimed water distribution, radiant panel heating systems, hydronic baseboard heating systems, snow and ice melting systems, building services piping, compressed air distribution, ground source geothermal systems, underground irrigation, and compressed gas distribution (not including fuel gases), provided that the PE-AL-PE systems comply with the applicable code requirements. Residential and commercial systems are included.

Note: The complete structure, consisting of the aluminum, melt adhesive, and layers of PE intimately bonded together, is known as pipe. For the purposes of this Standard, the layer of welded aluminum, or the internal or external layer of PE, is known as a tube. Tubes, intimately bonded together by the melt adhesive, form a pipe.

1.2

The Standard specifies requirements for materials, quality of work, dimensions, thermocycling resistance, sustained pressure performance, delamination resistance, and marking.

Notes:

1) In developing the hydrostatic design basis for PE-AL-PE pipes, in accordance with CSA B137.0, pressure has been substituted for fibre stress.

2) The pressure rating of PE-AL-PE pipes is contingent on the thickness of the aluminum metal reinforcing layer. Pipes having the same dimension ratio but different metal reinforcing layer thicknesses will have different pressure ratings. The dimension ratio therefore cannot be used, as it is with homogeneous walled pipes, to assess changes in pressure rating with wall thickness variation.

1.3

In this Standard, shall is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Standard; should is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and may is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard.

Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.

Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.

Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.
