This report lists thermoplastic piping materials with a Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI) recommended
Hydrostatic Design Basis (HDB), Strength Design Basis (SDB), Pressure Design Basis (PDB) or
Minimum Required Strength (MRS) rating for thermoplastic piping materials or pipe.
These listings have been established in accordance with PPI TR-3, "Policies and Procedures for Developing
Hydrostatic Design Basis (HDB), Strength Design Basis (SDB), Pressure Design Basis (PDB) or Minimum Required
Strength (MRS) Ratings for Thermoplastic Piping Materials or Pipe”. Copies are available from the PPI website.

In the case of any deviation or circumstance not covered by a specific policy, a disposition will have to be
made by the HSB (Hydrostatic Stress Board) in consultation with the manufacturer.
The Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI) as a service to the industry has prepared this report. Reasonable
efforts are made by PPI, its members and staff to ensure that the required methods, policies,
standards and procedures have been followed and that the presented test data are reliable. PPI
expressly disclaims any warranty, expressed or implied, regarding the HDB, SDB, PDB or MRS
values derived from submitted information, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each product
manufacturer that lists compositions with the Hydrostatic Stress Board does so voluntarily and
with the express agreement that PPI assumes no liability in regard to the lists, and that it will hold
PPI harmless from any claims or liability in connection with its listed pipe compositions. PPI does
not endorse the proprietary products or processes of any manufacturer, and assumes no
responsibility for compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
PPI offers various technical reports, technical notes and statements to assist engineers, code officials,
specifiers, installers and users in proper selection and application of plastics piping. Copies of this report,
as well as other publications, are available for download from PPI on the website www.plasticpipe.org.
This report was first published in September 1967. This update was issued in February 2010.

NOTES TO THE READER
SOME RULES AND CONDITIONS
1. Processing Techniques: It is stressed that these policies and procedures are for development of
recommended ratings for thermoplastics piping materials or pipe based on test data from good quality
pipes (extruded or molded) made by specific processing techniques. These recommended ratings may
or may not be valid for products made by differing processing techniques.
2. Definitions and Acronyms: Definitions and Acronyms are shown in the next section. The
terminology of this report is in accordance with the definitions given in ASTM Standards D883,
"Standard Definition of Terms Relating to Plastics," and F412, "Standard Terminology Relating to
Plastic Piping Systems”.
3. Adjusting Recommended Ratings for Application-Specific Environments:
HDB/PDB/MRS/SDB recommended ratings issued by PPI are for conditions equivalent to those
under which the test data were obtained, e.g., constant pressure, temperature and specific test
environment. Various industry standards or regulations provide appropriate design factors or design
coefficients to calculate the corresponding maximum allowable operating pressure for the piping
system used in the desired application. Under some conditions, such as pressure cycling, higher
temperature, more aggressive environment, or handling and installation quality, all of which may
significantly reduce pipe durability, a more conservative design factor or design coefficient should be
chosen. More information on design factors and design coefficients is given in PPI TR-9,
"Recommended Design Factors and Design Coefficients for Pressure Applications of Thermoplastic
Pipe Materials". Sustained pressure testing at elevated temperatures used to obtain these
ratings may not be sufficient to fully evaluate either the thermal or oxidative stability
performance of thermoplastic materials or pipe.
4. Product Standards: An HDB/PBD/SDB/MRS recommended rating has been shown, through
both scientific procedures and historical experience, to be a useful indicator of the relative long-term
strength of a thermoplastic material when tested under the conditions set out in test method ASTM
D2837 or ISO 9080. The performance of a material (or a piping product made with that material)
under actual conditions of installation and use is dependent upon a number of other factors and
conditions, which are not addressed in this report. These other factors and conditions are properly
governed by the relevant product standard. The usefulness and adequacy of an
HDB/PDB/SDB/MRS as an indicator of the strength of a material or pipe for use in any particular
application is reflected in its incorporation in the applicable product standard, along with other
appropriate performance parameters for the product and its component material. The
appropriateness of an HDB/PDB/SDB/MRS for a specific application is also determined by the
decision of a private or governmental entity to adopt such a standard as part of its own requirements
for the product. The term “50-year strength value,” as used in ASTM D2837, is a mathematical
extrapolation that is useful in the context of developing an HDB. It does not necessarily constitute a
representation that any material with such a value will perform under actual use conditions for that
period of time.
5. Sunlight (UV) Exposure: These policies do not take into consideration the adequacy of a plastic
composition's protection against sunlight exposure. Manufacturers may include in plastic pipe
compositions suitable ingredients for the protection of properties against possible degradation by
sunlight radiation during normal storage and use. The user should insure that sufficient protection
has been incorporated into the selected piping composition should the application involve extended
sunlight exposure during storage and/or use.
5
6. Recommended Ratings are Formulation Specific: Each HDB/PDB/SDB/MRS issued by PPI is
specific to that particular thermoplastic piping material formulation, including the procedure for
mixing, which is represented by the data submitted to the HSB. Any changes in the mixing
procedure, in the formulation, or in its ingredients, outside those permitted in TR-3 are considered to
result in a new composition, which may have different long-term strength properties. The listed
HDB/PDB/SDB/MRS does not apply to this new composition, unless the changes have been made,
or validated, in accordance with one or more of the policies presented in this report; or have been
ruled upon by the HSB as acceptable based on information provided to the HSB.
7. Resin Changes: An inherent assumption in the development of these policies and procedures is that
the commercial pipe resin will be of equivalent chemical and molecular composition, insofar as these
parameters influence long-term strength and durability, to the resin used in the composition on which
the original long-term data supplied to PPI were obtained. Any modification of the resin composition
is considered to result in a different material from the one on which the original listings were based.
The Chairman of the HSB should be notified of such modifications and the applicable policy
followed to maintain the listing. In the case of a change in manufacturing location of the resin used in
a listed compound, the Chairman of the HSB should be notified and any applicable policy followed to
maintain the listing. Also, in the case of any deviation or circumstance not covered by a specific
policy, a disposition will have to be made by the HSB in consultation with the manufacturer.
8. Disclaimer: While every effort has been made by the Plastics Pipe Institute to assure that these
policies are sound, reasonable and prudent, PPI expressly disclaims any guarantee or warranty
regarding their application. Each manufacturer who lists compositions in accordance with the
procedures in TR-3 does so voluntarily and with the express agreement that PPI assumes no liability
in regard to the listed compositions, and that the manufacturer will hold PPI harmless from any claims
or liability arising in connection with its listed pipe compositions.
9. Manufacturer’s Responsibility: The manufacturer is responsible to insure that his product is
continually manufactured in such a manner as to maintain the long-term strength and durability
consistent with the long-term data supplied to the HSB. In the case of a deviation or circumstance
not covered by a specific policy, a disposition will have to be made by the HSB in consultation with
the manufacturer.
10. Adoption of Policies and Procedures: These policies and procedures have been adopted using
standard letter ballot methods.
11. Interpretations: Questions pertaining to the interpretation of any policies in this report should be
referred to the Chairman of the HSB, Plastics Pipe Institute, 105 Decker Court, Suite 825, Irving, TX
75063.
12. Maximum Temperature for Listings: The maximum temperature for which PPI will list an
HDB/PDB/SDB/MRS for a material in accordance with the policies and procedures in TR-3 is
200oF (93oC). PPI listing for temperatures above 200oF may be requested as a “Special Case” (see
note 13) for consideration by the HSB.
13. Special Case Listings: The policies and procedures in TR-3 are intended to cover
HDB/PDB/SDB/MRS listings for most thermoplastic piping materials. PPI recognizes there may
be unusual cases, issues or circumstances that are not covered in TR-3, and that may justify an
exception to the standard policies. To allow manufacturers an opportunity to have their material(s)
listed by PPI when this occurs, the HSB has provided a “Special Case” system. The manufacturer
may present its “Case” to the HSB at one of their two annual meetings, usually in February and
August, using the approved “Checklist for HSB Submissions” form in TR-3 Appendix A.1. All
information provided to HSB in these special cases will be made available for review only by HSB
members and PPI staff, and will be held by them in strict confidence, in accordance with PPI’s
written confidentiality procedures (available from the HSB Chairman). There is a PPI fee for each
6
special case. You must contact the HSB Chairman well in advance of each meeting to arrange for
your special case. A completed HSB submission form must be received at least two (2) weeks
prior to the HSB meeting to permit HSB consideration at that meeting.

the grade level. e.g.: E-2 covers data out to at least 2,000 hours, E-8
covers data out to at least 8,000 hours, etc.
Experimental Grade (E) A PPI HSB recommended rating that is valid for a limited duration,
given to those materials covered by data that do not yet comply with the
full requirements of the Standard Grade, but satisfy the applicable
minimum preliminary data requirements that are detailed in TR-3. The
owner of an experimental listing must understand there is a potential
risk in commercial sale of an experimental product in case it does
not meet all the TR-3 requirements for a standard grade.
HDB The term HDB (Hydrostatic Design Basis) refers to the categorized long-
term hydrostatic strength (LTHS) in the circumferential or hoop direction,
for a given set of end use conditions, as established by ASTM Test Method
D 2837, "Standard Test Method for Obtaining Hydrostatic Design Basis
for Thermoplastic Pipe Materials." Hydrostatic Design Basis (HDB) –
one of a series of established stress values (specified in Test Method D
2837) for a plastic compound obtained by categorizing the long-term
hydrostatic strength determined in accordance with ASTM Method D
2837.
Independent listing A listing that has been established by a formulation owner under the
provisions of Part A of TR-3.
LCL
LCL Ratio The ratio of expressed as a percentage. This ratio is a measure of
LTHS
the amount of scatter in the data and must be at least 85%.
LCL Lower Confidence Limit - The lowest value of the LTHS, based on a
statistical analysis of the regression data that can be expected at 100,000
hours.
LTHS Long-term hydrostatic strength - the estimated tensile stress in the wall
of the pipe in the circumferential orientation that when applied
continuously will cause failure of the pipe at 100,000 hours. This is the
intercept of the stress regression line with the 100,000-h coordinate.
9

values for a plastic piping component (multilayer pipe, fitting, valve, etc.)
obtained by categorizing the long-term hydrostatic pressure strength in
accordance with ISO 9080.
MRS The term MRS (Minimum Required Strength) refers to the categorized

Multilayer pipe Multilayer is a type of composite
TYPE 1: A pressure rated pipe having more than one layer (bonded
together) in which at least 60% of the wall thickness is polymeric material
that has an HDB (Hydrostatic Design Basis) or MRS (Minimum Required
Strength), from which the pressure rating of the pipe is determined.
DISCUSSION: An example of this is coextruded plastic pipe with an

outer layer for barrier or color purposes. If this outer layer has the
same HDB/MRS as the bulk wall, the entire wall thickness is used
for pressure calculations; if not, only the bulk wall that has an
HDB/MRS rating is used for pressure calculations.
TYPE 2: A pressure rated pipe having more than one layer (bonded
together) where at least 60% of the wall thickness is polymeric
material, where the pipe pressure rating is determined by pipe size
and pipe wall construction, and this pipe rating is listed by a PDB
(Pressure Design Basis) or MRP (Minimum Required Pressure).
DISCUSSION: An example of this is PEX/AL/PEX pipe.

TYPE 3: non-pressure rated pipe comprising more than one layer in which
at least 60% of the wall thickness is polymeric material.
NOTE: the different layer(s) of multilayer pipe may provide color,
barrier, stiffness or other properties according to the intended
application.
PDB The term PDB (Pressure Design Basis) refers to the categorized long-term
pressure strength for multilayer pipes or other complex piping
components, as established by ASTM Test Method D 2837, "Standard Test
Method for Obtaining Hydrostatic Design Basis for Thermoplastic Pipe
Materials." Pressure Design Basis – one of a series of established
pressure values for a plastic piping component (multilayer pipe, fitting,
valve, etc.) obtained by categorizing the long-term hydrostatic pressure
strength determined in accordance with an industry test method that uses
linear regression analysis. Although ASTM D 2837 does not use
“pressure values”, the PPI Hydrostatic Stress Board uses the principles of
10
ASTM D2837 in plotting log pressure vs. log time to determine a “long-
term hydrostatic pressure strength” and the resulting “Pressure Design
Basis” for multilayer pipe that is listed in PPI TR-4.
PHR Parts by weight of a specified ingredient per hundred parts by weight of the
base resin.
PR Pressure Rating – the estimated maximum pressure that the medium in the
pipe can exert continuously with a high degree of certainty that failure of
the pipe will not occur.
PR = 2 (HDB) x (design factor) / (SDR-1),
SDR = Standard Dimension Ratio
= Average outside diameter / minimum wall thickness

Or
PR = (PDB) (design factor)
Private Listing Manufacturer’s listing that is held privately within PPI and is not
published in PPI TR-4.
SDB Strength Design Basis – one of a series of established stress values
(specified in Test Method D 2837) for a plastic molding compound
obtained by categorizing the long-term strength determined in
accordance with ASTM Test Method F 2018. The term SDB (Strength
Design Basis) refers to the categorized long-term strength for a plastic
molding compound obtained by ASTM F 2018, “Standard Test Method
for Time-to - Failure of Plastics Using Plane Strain Tensile Specimens.”
NOTE: The SDB is used only for a material intended for molding
applications. The SDB shall not be used for pipe applications.
Standard Grade (S) A PPI HSB recommended rating that is valid for a five year period, given
to those materials that comply with the full data requirements of TR-3.
Substantiation A requirement of ASTM D 2513 for PE materials to show that
extrapolation of the 73°F stress regression curve is linear to the 438,000-
hour intercept.
Thermoplastic A plastic that repeatedly can be softened by heating and hardened by
cooling through a temperature range characteristic of the plastic, and that
in the softened state can be shaped by flow into articles by molding or
extrusion.
TR Technical Report
TR-X A PPI Technical Report where 'X' is the number of the report. e.g.: TR-
3/2002 is the 2002 edition of TR-3, "Policies and Procedures for Developing
Hydrostatic Design Basis (HDB), Pressure Design Basis (PDB) and Minimum
Required Strengths (MRS) Ratings for Thermoplastic Piping Materials or Pipe”.
11
UCL Upper Confidence Limit - The highest value of the LTHS, based on a
statistical analysis of the regression data that can be expected at 100,000
h.

PART A - MATERIALS EVALUATED FROM DATA DEVELOPED ON

EXTRUDED PIPE SPECIMENS (HDB) – THESE MATERIALS MAY BE USED
FOR EITHER EXTRUDED PIPE OR MOLDING APPLICATIONS
The tables that follow present PPI recommended HDB's in effect on the date of issue of this report.
Information on subsequently listed materials may be obtained by contacting the Plastics Pipe Institute.
Each table has been divided into dependent listings and independent listings. A resin manufacturer or pipe
manufacturer may have an independent listing in which they provide all the stress rupture data required by
TR-3. A resin manufacturer may transfer their listing to the pipe manufacturer using the protocol in TR-3.
In this case, the pipe manufacturer has a dependent listing.
The listings of HDB's have been sub grouped in accordance with the material's standard pipe material
designation code. In this designation system, which is widely used by major national product standards, the
plastic is identified by its standard abbreviated terminology in accordance with ASTM D 1600, "Standard
Terminology Relating to Abbreviations, Acronyms, and Codes for Terms Relating to Plastics", followed by
a four or five digit number. The first two or three digits, as the case may be, code the material's ASTM
classification (short-term properties) in accordance with the appropriate ASTM standard specification for
that material. The last two digits of this number represent the PPI recommended HDS at 73oF (23oC)
divided by one hundred. Three examples of this pipe material designation code are as follows:
 CPVC 4120 is a chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (the CPVC abbreviation is in accordance with ASTM D
1600) classified as Type 4, Grade 1 (in accordance with ASTM F 441) which has a 2,000 psi maximum
recommended HDS utilizing a 0.5 design factor at 73oF (23oC) for water.
 POM 21110 is a polyoxymethylene (the POM abbreviation is in accordance with ASTM D 1600)
classified as Group 2, Class 1, Grade 1 (in accordance with ASTM D 4181) which has a 1,000 psi
maximum recommended HDS utilizing a 0.5 design factor at 73oF (23oC) for water.
 PE 3408 is a polyethylene (the PE abbreviation is in accordance with ASTM D 1600) classified as a

grade PE 34 with a density cell class of 3 and a slow crack growth cell class of 4 (in accordance with
ASTM D 3350). It has an 800-psi maximum recommended HDS utilizing a 0.5 design factor at 73o
F (23oC) for water.

SECTION II
PIPES WITH PPI RECOMMENDED PRESSURE DESIGN BASIS (PDB)

AND MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATINGS (PR) ESTABLISHED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH PPI TR-3 (ASTM D 2837).
This Section lists recommendations for the Pressure Design Basis (PDB) for composite pipes and pipes
of multilayer construction consisting essentially of two layers of thermoplastic material that sandwich a
thin layer of metallic reinforcement. Because the longer-term strength of pipes of such construction is
determined not only by the properties of each of the materials used but also by the specific
combination of materials and layer thicknesses, this Section differs from Section I in two important
respects:
 The long-term strength recommendations are presented in terms of a pressure design basis (PDB)
which represents the pipe’s estimated long-term hydrostatic pressure strength; and
 Each PDB recommendation is specific to the particular wall construction and pipe diameter that
are represented by the data upon which the PDB recommendation was established.
The PDB is the categorized estimated long-term hydrostatic pressure strength of a pipe. The
procedures for the estimating of the long-term hydrostatic pressure strength, and for its categorization
into preferred values, are the same as those used in Section I for the establishing of a material’s
hydrostatic design basis (HDB).
The maximum pipe pressure ratings (PR’s) are obtained by multiplying the PDB by a 0.5 design factor.
The design factor is intended to take into consideration all the variables and degree of safety involved
on a particular application. The 0.5 value is without consideration to conditions such as aggressive
environments, cyclic stressing, localized stress concentrations, and temperature fluctuations which were
not present in the testing of the pipes but which could significantly affect long-term durability. Smaller
design factors (effectively, larger safety factors) should be considered to compensate for conditions not
adequately represented by the test protocol upon which the PDB’s have been established. The pipe
manufacturer, appropriate pipe standards and codes, and relevant technical information should be
consulted for guidance.
The PDB’s listed in this Section have been developed under the same PPI TR-3 protocol as is used for
the establishing of the HDB’s that are listed in Section I of this report. The use of this protocol,
including the use of ASTM method D 2837, was deemed as appropriate for each of the listed pipe
constructions because their pressure versus time-to-rupture behavior exhibits the same kind of
regression with duration of loading as is exhibited by thermoplastic pipes of homogenous wall
construction. The Hydrostatic Stress Board excludes wall constructions that cannot be evaluated and
analyzed in accordance with ASTM D 2837 from consideration.
Experimental listings are also allowed.
There are indications that the long-term strength of a pipe of multilayer construction could be
expressed as some function of the tensile strength properties and relative thickness of each of the
separate material layers (Reference #1 and #2). Should this be confirmed for any of the listed material
combinations, then the recommended strength for each such combination will be reported in terms of
a material strength (i.e., and HDB), rather than a pipe strength (a PDB).

SECTION III
MATERIALS WITH PPI RECOMMENDED MINIMUM REQUIRED

STRENGTH (MRS) AND CATEGORIZED REQUIRED STRENGTH (CRS)
ESTABLISHED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ISO 9080 AND ISO 12162.
For classification purposes, the MRS is determined using ISO 9080 and the ISO 12162 standard
conditions of 20C (68F). The CRS (, t) is the Categorized Required Strength value of lpl
determined and categorized for the selected temperature () and required time (t) in accordance with
ISO 9080 using the 3 or 4 coefficient stress rupture/time equation. These CRS (, t) values are listed
in Table III.B.1. This current listing approach is under review by the Hydrostatic Stress Board.
The reader is advised that the MRS and CRS(θ, t) values listed in TR-4 represent an approximation of
the likelihood that pipe specimens produced from these materials will not fail when placed in service
and utilized in conjunction with the appropriate design coefficients. HDB values as determined in
accordance with TR-3 policies include a stress reduction factor (design factor) to arrive at a
recommended HDS. MRS and CRS(θ, t) designations, as determined in accordance with ISO 9080, do
not include any stress reduction factors (design coefficients) that are required prior to its application for
an intended service. As such, it is the responsibility of the design engineer to determine the appropriate
design coefficients for the particular application when using MRS and CRS(θ, t). The reader is advised
to consult the owner of the material designation for specifics regarding interpretation or use of the
MRS and CRS(θ, t) values listed in TR-4.

TABLE III.B.1 - CRS (, t)
The CRS (, t) is the categorized value of the ISO 9080 lpl for a material at a temperature of  (C)
and a time of t years, using the extrapolation limits of ISO 9080. This current listing approach is under
review by the Hydrostatic Stress Board
The reader is advised that the MRS and CRS(θ, t) values listed in TR-4 represent an approximation of
the likelihood that pipe specimens produced from these materials will not fail when placed in service
and utilized in conjunction with the appropriate design coefficients. HDB values as determined in
accordance with TR-3 policies include a stress reduction factor (design factor) to arrive at a
recommended HDS. MRS and CRS(θ, t) designations, as determined in accordance with ISO 9080, do
not include any stress reduction factors (design coefficients) that are required prior to its application for
an intended service. As such, it is the responsibility of the design engineer to determine the appropriate
design coefficients for the particular application when using MRS and CRS(θ, t). The reader is advised
to consult the owner of the material designation for specifics regarding interpretation or use of the
MRS and CRS(θ, t) values listed in TR-4.
