[Current]Installation of ABS pipe systems
Specifies methods for handling, storage, installation, testing and commissioning of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) pipelines conveying liquids, above or below ground, for pressure and non-pressure applications. This Standard is applicable to ABS pipelines carrying liquids under either pressure or gravity flow situations and the components of which comply with, but are not limited to AS/NZS 3518, Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) compounds, pipes and fittings for pressure applications.
