ASTM D 3034 - Clarification Requested
(OP)
Good day,
Can anyone explain what is meant by "Type PSM" on the ASTM D 3034 standard for Gravity PVC Sewer? Also, does anyone know if this standard relates to Plasticised or Unplasticised PVC?
Thanks for any help you can give.
Regards,
Ria

3.1 Definitions—Definitions are in accordance with Terminology F412, and abbreviations are in accordance with Terminology D1600, unless otherwise specified. The abbreviation of poly(vinyl chloride) plastics is PVC.
3.1.1 The term PSM is not an abbreviation but rather an arbitrary designation for a product having certain dimensions.
PSM = sewer pipe OD
