    1. Scope

    1.1
    This Standard provides requirements for macrocomposite pipe consisting

    composite pipe. The pipes considered in this Standard are for use in
    potable water supply systems and are pressure-rated for
    1380 kPa (200 psi) at 23°C and/or 1035 kPa (150 psi) at 60°C.

    The Standard includes requirements for materials, quality of work,
    dimensions, thermocycling resistance, sustained pressure performance,

    Notes:
    (1) In developing the hydrostatic design basis for the pipes, in
    accordance with CSA Standard 8737.0, the fibre stress has been replaced
    by pressure.

    (2) The pressure rating of macrocomposite pipes is sensitive to 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. Dimension ratio therefore cannot be
    used, as it is with homogeneous walled pipes, for assessing changes in
    pressure rating with wall thickness variation.

    The values given in SI (metric) units are the standard. The values in
    parentheses are for information only.

    Appendix C
