ASTM D3839
This standard provides procedures for the installation of fiberglass pipes in typical soil conditions. Pipes
with diameters up to 144-inches (3,657 mm) and pipe stiffness from 9 to over 72 psi (0.62 to over 5 bar)
can be installed following the guidelines embedded in this practice. Soils are classified into stiffness
classes and corresponding compaction levels recommended to achieve a minimum passive soil modulus
(E’) of 1,000 psi (70 bar). Situations for handling running soils and trench supports are included. This
standard is only applicable for direct buried pipes.
Table 5-11. ASTM Installation Standards for Polyethylene Materials
Specification No. Title Application
ASTM F1606 Standard Practice for Rehabilitation of Existing Sewers
and Conduits with Deformed Polyethylene (PE) Liner
Covers installation of deformed
PE liner meeting ASTM F1533.
ASTM F1606
After cleaning and inspection of the existing pipe, the deformed PE pipe is pulled directly through the
insertion point to the termination point. The pulling force should not exceed the axial strain limits of the
deformed pipe, which is accomplished by limiting the pulling force to a tensile stress of 1,500 psi (103
bar) or 50% of the yield. The steam temperature for reforming is to be between 235 o F and 260 o F, with
pressure starting at 29.2 psi (2 bar) and rising to 40.7 psi (2.8 bar). The reformed pipe is cooled to 100 o F
with the internal pressure increased to 47.7 psi (3.3 bar), while the liner is cooled to ambient temperature.
Acceptance testing includes dimensional checks of the outside diameter and installed wall thickness,
along with flexural and tensile properties of a reformed field sample prepared at the insertion or
termination point. CCTV inspection is also recommended.

Specification No. Title Application
ASTM F1216 Standard Practice for Rehabilitation of Existing Pipelines
and Conduits by the Inversion and Curing of a Resin-
Impregnated Tube Rehabilitation
ASTM F1743 Standard Practice for Rehabilitation of Existing Pipelines
and Conduits by Pulled-in-Place Installation of Cured-in-
Place Thermosetting Resin Pipe (CIPP)
ASTM F2019 Standard Practice for Rehabilitation of Existing Pipelines
and Conduits by the Pulled-in-Place Installation of Glass
Reinforced Plastic (GRP) Cured-in-Place Thermosetting
Resin Pipe (CIPP)
Covers 4–96 inch CIPP inversion
insertion and hot water or steam
cure.
Covers 4–96 inch CIPP pulled in
place insertion, inflation with
calibration hose, and hot water or
steam cure.
Covers 4–48 inch CIPP pulled in
place insertion, air inflation and
steam or UV light cure.
ASTM F1216
This reconstruction process can be used in gravity and pressure applications. The CIPP product is
expected to have the minimum structural properties in Table 5-13. As part of the inspection and
acceptance process, F1216 requires that two samples be prepared for testing, one taken from an
intermediate manhole or at a termination point that has been inverted through a like diameter pipe with a
suitable heat sink, and the second fabricated from material from the tube and the resin/catalyst system and
cured in a clamped mold. Physical property testing includes short-term flexural and tensile properties.
