	AWWA C900-07 Pressures
	ASTM F679-08 Dimensions

Notes:

PVC dimensions (minimum wall thickness and outside diameter) are per AWWA C900 and AWWA C905. Sewer pipe dimensions are per ASTM D3040 and ASTM F679. IPS sizing is per ASTM D2241. Schedule Sizing is per ASTM D1785.
PVC safe pull stress of 7,000 PSI is based on the published value of 7,000-8,000 PSI for short term tensile strength and a safety factor of 2.5 [Unibell Handbook of PVC, 4th Edition].
PVC and safe pull forces are based on minimum wall thickness and the safe pull stresses as calculated per Note 2.
PVC weights are based on an average of the extruder's recorded weights, if available. If no information available, weight is estimated per PPI TR-7 2000, using average wall thickness and densities of plastics at 73° F.
Maximum Working Pressures are per AWWA C900, AWWA C905, and AWWA C906 at 73° F.
Critical Buckling Pressures are calculated using the Modulus of Elasticity (400,000 PSI), and published Poisson's Ratio [Unibell Handbook of PVC, 4th Edition]. No safety factor is included in the calculation for Critical Buckling Pressures.
Bend Radius calculations are based on the assumption that a fitting or flange is present/to be installed in the bend. The Bend Radius for PVC is calculated using 250 times the outside diameter of the pipe, which includes a safety factor of 2.5 that is specific to bending [Unibell Handbook of PVC, 4th Edition].
