Full Description

ISO 6993-1:2006 specifies the requirements for pipes made of high-impact poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-HI) intended to be used for the supply of gaseous fuels through buried pipelines having an operating temperature range of 0 degrees Celsius up to and including +30 degrees Celsius and a maximum operating pressure of 1 bar (100 kPa).

It is applicable only to pipes manufactured from the high-impact PVC materials PVC-A, PVC-CPE and PVC-EPR. The pipes are suitable for those gases not containing potentially damaging components in such concentrations as to impair the properties of the pipe material.
