ASTM F1533
The renewal process involves installing a deformed PE liner into an existing pipeline and then reforming
the liner with heat and pressure to fit tightly to the bore of the original pipeline. PE pipe used for a liner
under this specification shall be PE 2406 or PE 3408 (ASTM D3350), with a Plastic Pipe Institute (PPI)
recommended HDB of 1,250 or 1,600 psi (86 or 110 bar), respectively. Nominal pipe diameters range
from 3 to 18 inches (75 to 450 mm), with a DR range of 17 to 32.5. Other non-standard sizes are also
covered providing the materials meet the minimum requirements in this standard. Typical QC test
requirements include outside diameter and wall thickness checks, tensile strength, tensile elongation, and
flexural modulus. Environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR) is a qualification test, with level 3 of
ASTM D3350 as a minimum.
ASTM D2239 or ASTM D3035
Pipe meeting these standards would be suitable for inline replacement of a sewer force main by the
sliplining method, providing the reduction in flow capacity can be accommodated.
CIPP Materials
The following ASTM standards in Table 5-3 cover CIPP materials used for renewal.

ASTM D5813
Three types and two grades of CIPP liners are described in this standard. The type of liners range from
those designed to only provide chemical resistance and prevent exfiltration (Class I) to those designed for
use in either a partially deteriorated (Class II) or a fully deteriorated pipe (Class III). The grades are
distinguished by whether the tube is impregnated with polyester resin (Grade 1) or an epoxy resin (Grade
2). ASTM D5813 also has two chemical resistance requirements. The one requirement stipulates that
samples shall be capable of exposure for one year to five different chemical solutions (1% nitric acid, 5%
sulfuric acid, 100% ASTM Fuel C, 100% vegetable oil, 0.1% detergent, and 0.1% soap) and still retain
80% of their flexural modulus. The other requirement is similar to that imposed on glass-reinforced
thermosetting plastic pipes (ASTM D3262 or ASTM D3754) and is commonly referred to as strain
corrosion. For this requirement, samples must be capable of being deflected to meet certain strain
requirements (see Table 2 of D5813) over specific time periods of up to 10,000 hours, while exposed to
1.0 N sulfuric acid (i.e., 5%).
Glass-Reinforced Plastic
The following ASTM standard in Table 5-4 covers FRP/GRP materials used for renewal. ASTM D3754
combines the pressure requirements of ASTM D3517 Fiberglass Pressure Pipe with the chemical
resistance (strain corrosion) requirements of ASTM D3262 Fiberglass Sewer Pipe.
