About This Item
ASTM D2513 is the ASTM standard for polyethylene (PE) gas pressure pipe, tubing, and fittings, providing a technical basis for evaluating products used in gas pressure applications. It helps define expectations for material and product performance so buyers, specifiers, and manufacturers can compare items consistently. As a recognized specification, it supports more reliable product selection, quality control, and compliance-focused procurement when PE components are intended for gas service.
Purpose of ASTM D2513
The purpose of this standard is to establish a common specification framework for polyethylene gas pressure pipe, tubing, and fittings. It is used to guide how these products are identified, evaluated, and supplied for gas pressure systems. By setting a shared technical reference, ASTM D2513 helps reduce ambiguity in product requirements and supports more consistent manufacturing and purchasing decisions. It is especially useful when comparing PE components for intended gas-service applications.
Common use cases of ASTM D2513
This standard is commonly used when specifying PE pipe, tubing, and fittings for gas pressure service in distribution or related gas handling systems. It may be referenced by manufacturers, distributors, engineers, inspectors, and procurement teams when reviewing product conformance or preparing purchase documents. ASTM D2513 is also useful in quality assurance workflows where polyethylene gas components need to be checked against a recognized ASTM specification before acceptance or installation.
Why ASTM D2513 matters
ASTM D2513 matters because it gives stakeholders a consistent benchmark for product evaluation and compliance in gas pressure applications. Using a recognized standard can help improve procurement accuracy, support quality control, and reduce the risk of selecting incompatible pipe, tubing, or fittings. It also helps teams communicate technical requirements more clearly across design, sourcing, and inspection activities. For organizations working with PE gas systems, ASTM D2513 offers an important reference for specification-based decision-making.
