[Current]Modified PVC (PVC-M) pipes for pressure applications
This Standard specifies requirements for pipes, integral joints and post-formed bends of PVC-M for the conveyance of water and wastewater under pressure. The pipes are intended for installation below ground, and above ground where they are not exposed to direct sunlight.
