Full title and description

Standard Specification for 3 in. to 30 in. (75 mm to 750 mm) Polypropylene (PP) Corrugated Single Wall Pipe and Fittings (ASTM F3219-24). Specifies material, dimensional, performance, and workmanship requirements and test methods for single-wall corrugated polypropylene pipe and fittings intended for non‑pressure gravity drainage and leach-field applications.

Abstract

ASTM F3219-24 establishes minimum requirements and test procedures for single-wall corrugated PP pipe and fittings in nominal sizes 3 in. through 30 in. (75 mm through 750 mm). The standard covers PP compound properties, nominal inside diameters and tolerances, wall profiles, mechanical performance tests (elongation, brittleness, stiffness, impact/creep as applicable), joining and fitting requirements, markings, sampling/retest, certification, packaging, installation guidance, and quality assurance for non‑pressure gravity applications such as land drainage, roads, foundations, agricultural drainage, landfill and leach field effluent disposal.

Scope

This specification applies to single-wall annular/corrugated polypropylene pipe and fittings with nominal inside diameters from 3 in. to 30 in. (75 mm to 750 mm) intended for non‑pressure, gravity-flow, soil‑tight joint installations. It is intended for subsurface and surface drainage and effluent disposal use where watertight joints are not required unless specifically requested; when watertight joints are specified they should comply with appropriate joint standards (for example those meeting internal/external pressure testing and gasket requirements). The standard does not address all safety or regulatory considerations; users must determine applicability and follow applicable installation practices and local requirements.

Key topics and requirements

• Nominal sizes covered: 3 in. through 30 in. (75 mm–750 mm) and associated inside diameter tolerances and nominal pipe sizing.
• Material requirements and minimum properties for polypropylene compounds used to manufacture corrugated single‑wall pipe.
• Dimensional and workmanship requirements for corrugation geometry, waterway, and profile consistency.
• Mechanical and physical test methods and acceptance criteria (examples: elongation, brittleness/impact resistance, pipe stiffness, long‑term strength/creep where applicable).
• Fitting and joining system requirements, including description of acceptable joint types and note on watertight joint options that can be specified to meet internal/external pressure criteria and gasket standards.
• Marking, labeling, sampling and retest procedures, certification and reporting expectations, packaging, and factory quality‑assurance provisions.
• Installation references and recommendations for non‑pressure gravity applications (installation practice and acceptance typically coordinate with established installation standards).

Typical use and users

Used by pipe manufacturers, product engineers, civil/transportation and drainage design engineers, specifiers, contractors, municipal/public works departments, utilities, and procurement teams for stormwater drainage, subsurface drainage, leach‑field effluent disposal, agricultural drainage, road and foundation drainage, and landfill site drainage where single‑wall corrugated PP pipe is appropriate for non‑pressure applications.
