polyethylene inside and outside the aluminum tube. The Standard also
provides requirements for fittings (connectors) for use with this
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.

accordance with CSA Standard 8737.0, the fibre stress has been replaced
by pressure.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.
