GOST R 54475-2011 PDF

Full title and description

GOST R 54475-2011 — "Трубы полимерные со структурированной стенкой и фасонные части к ним для систем наружной канализации. Технические условия" (English: Plastics structured-wall pipes and their fittings for sewerage systems outside the buildings. Specifications). This national Russian standard sets technical requirements, dimensions, test methods and marking for structured‑wall (corrugated or otherwise structured) polymer pipes and their fittings intended for non‑pressure underground external sewerage, drainage and stormwater systems.

Abstract

This standard specifies types, materials (polyethylene PE, polypropylene PP, PVC‑U), mechanical and durability requirements (ring stiffness, ring flexibility, impact strength at low temperatures, creep behaviour), dimensions, tolerances, marking and acceptance rules for structured‑wall polymer pipes and associated fittings used in external, non‑pressure sewerage and drainage systems. It harmonises domestic requirements with relevant international practice (references to EN/ISO test methods and EN 13476 series are indicated).

General information

• Status: Active (in force / "Действует").
• Publication date: Introduced into force 01 May 2012 (designation year 2011).
• Publisher: National standards body of the Russian Federation (GOST R / Rosstandart) — adopted as a GOST R technical specification prepared by industry developers.
• ICS / categories: OKS / OCS classifications include 93.030 (external sewerage / civil construction) and related pipeline categories; the document is aligned with construction/pipework classifications.
• Edition / version: Designation year 2011; entered into force 01.05.2012 (first introduction).
• Number of pages: 36 pages (standard text typical length).

Scope

Applies to structured‑wall polymer pipes and fittings made from PE, PP and PVC‑U intended for non‑pressure underground external sewerage systems: household wastewater, drainage, stormwater (rain) sewers and industrial effluent where the pipe material is chemically resistant to the conveyed media. The standard defines permitted types of wall construction (multilayer, hollow‑section, ribbed corrugated, etc.), dimensional series (ID/DN/OD where applicable), joint types (socket and rubber sealing rings), mechanical classes (ring stiffness SN), and service application zones (e.g., buried depth and proximity to buildings).

Key topics and requirements

• Permitted materials and wall constructions (structured‑wall types A and B; multilayer, foam core, ringed or spiral hollow sections).
• Dimensional series and tolerances for diameter, length, wall thickness and socket dimensions.
• Mechanical strength and stiffness requirements: ring stiffness classes (SN values) and acceptance limits.
• Deformation and flexibility tests: ring flexibility at 30% deformation (no cracks, delamination, excessive residual deformation).
• Impact strength requirements at low temperature (e.g., tests at 0 °C) and limits for brittle failure.
• Creep/long‑term deformation limits expressed as creep coefficients (extrapolated to service periods, e.g., 2 years basis in test methods).
• Marking, factory documentation, acceptance rules, required test reports and typical certification/declared conformity documentation.
• Reference to or alignment with international test methods and standards (EN/ISO methods cited for specific tests).

Typical use and users

Used by pipeline designers, civil and municipal engineers, manufacturers of polymer pipes and fittings, procurement specialists, construction contractors for external sewer and drainage works, testing and certification laboratories, and conformity assessment bodies. Typical applications include buried non‑pressure sewer mains, stormwater drains, agricultural and site drainage, and industrial external drainage systems where chemical compatibility and mechanical performance are required.

Related standards

GOST R 54475-2011 is related to and references international standards and methods for testing polymer pipe performance. It is commonly associated with the EN 13476 series (rigid plastics piping systems with structured wall) and with ISO/EN test procedures used to determine ring stiffness, ring flexibility and impact/creep behaviour. Users should also consult national product standards and complementary GOST/technical regulations covering joints, seals and installation practices.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST R 54475-2011 is a Russian national standard specifying technical requirements and test methods for structured‑wall polymer pipes and their fittings used in external (underground, non‑pressure) sewerage and drainage systems.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers types of structured walls, permitted materials (PE, PP, PVC‑U), dimensions and tolerances, mechanical performance (ring stiffness, flexibility, impact resistance), creep behaviour, marking, acceptance rules, and required factory documentation for these pipes and fittings.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, designers and engineers working on external sewerage, drainage and stormwater systems, test laboratories, certification bodies and contractors specifying or supplying polymer structured‑wall pipe systems.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: As of the available registry information the standard is shown as active/in force (introduced 01 May 2012). Users should verify the current status before procurement or design to confirm there has been no later revision or replacement.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It aligns with international product families for structured‑wall rigid plastics piping (for example the EN 13476 series) and should be used together with referenced test method standards when performing conformity testing. It is a stand‑alone GOST R technical specification covering pipes and fittings as a group rather than numbered subsections.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Structured‑wall pipes, corrugated pipes, polymer pipes, sewerage, drainage, fittings, ring stiffness, impact strength, creep, PE, PP, PVC‑U, GOST R 54475-2011.
