This document covers validated design parameters of buried thermoplastics piping
systems for functional and structural design for the following applications: -
pressure (excluding piping systems for gaseous fluids and industrial applications) -
non-pressure The functional design is based on relevant standards and commonly
used practices. Depending on the project parameters the structural design is to be:
- established by long term experience (within certain limitations) - calculated
according to CEN/TR 1295-2 by using thermoplastic pipe material related
properties and design criteria. Since in practice precise details of types of soil and
installation conditions are not always available at the design stage, the choice of
design assumptions is left to the judgement of the designer/specifier. In this
connection this guide can only provide general indications and advice.
