ASTM F1216-16  Standard Practice for Rehabilitation of Existing Pipelines and Conduits by the Inversion and Curing of a Resin-Impregnated Tube  

(Standards can be purchased online at www.astm.org )

Summary – Significance and Use

This practice is for use by designers, regulatory agencies, owners, and inspection organizations who are involved in the rehabilitation of conduits through the use of a resin-impregnated tube inverted through the existing conduit. As for any practice, modifications may be required for specific job conditions.

1. Scope

1.1 This practice describes the procedures for the reconstruction of pipelines and conduits (4 to 108-in. diameter) by the installation of a resin-impregnated, flexible tube which is inverted into the existing conduit by use of a hydrostatic head or air pressure. The resin is cured by circulating hot water or introducing controlled steam within the tube. When cured, the finished pipe will be continuous and tight-fitting. This reconstruction process can be used in a variety of gravity and pressure applications such as sanitary sewers, storm sewers, process piping, electrical conduits, and ventilation systems.

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.3 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 

ASTM F1743-17 Standard Practice for Rehabilitation of Existing Pipelines and Conduits by Pulled-in-Place Installation of Cured-in-Place Thermosetting Resin Pipe (CIPP)

(Standards can be purchased online at www.astm.org )

Summary – Significance and Use

This practice is for use by designers, regulatory agencies, owners, and inspection organizations who are involved in the rehabilitation of conduits through the use of a resin-impregnated fabric tube pulled-in-place through an existing conduit and secondarily inflated through the inversion of a calibration hose. Modifications may be required for specific job conditions.

1. Scope

1.1 This practice describes the procedures for the reconstruction of pipelines and conduits (4 to 96 in. (10 to 244 cm) diameter) by the pulled-in-place installation of a resin-impregnated, flexible fabric tube into an existing conduit and secondarily inflated through the inversion of a calibration hose by the use of a hydrostatic head or air pressure (see Fig. 1). The resin is cured by circulating hot water or by the introduction of controlled steam into the tube. When cured, the finished cured-in-place pipe will be continuous and tight-fitting. This reconstruction process may be used in a variety of gravity and pressure applications such as sanitary sewers, storm sewers, process piping, electrical conduits, and ventilation systems.

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for informational purposes only.

Note 1-There are no ISO standards covering the primary subject matter of this practice.

1.3 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

AWWA Standard M28 (3rd Edition) – Cleaning and Lining Water Mains

This operations manual provides guidance on selecting the best water-main rehabilitation techniques for your water distribution system. Step-by-step guidance, including costing, is included for the following methods:

Cleaning: flushing, cable-attached devices, pigs and other fluid-propelled cleaning devices, and power boring devices.
Lining: cement-mortar lining, epoxy lining, conventional slip-lining, close-fit slip-lining, and cured-in-place lining techniques.
Replacement: Trenchless pipe replacement using pipe-bursting technology.

It is the sole responsibility of the contractor – the customer to obtain accurate data for input in the calculator. All calculations, data and product specification reviewed should be reviewed and stamped by a licensed professional engineer.
