D5813-04 – Standard Test Method Technical Guide
📐 Scope and Application of D5813-04
ASTM D5813-04 (Reapproved 2018) provides the standardized specification for Cured-In-Place Thermosetting Resin Pipe (CIPP) systems. This specification governs pipe with equivalent diameters ranging from 4 through 132 inches (100 to 3353 mm). The primary application is the rehabilitation of existing gravity flow systems designed to convey sanitary sewage, storm water, and certain industrial wastes.
The standard also extends its coverage to manholes, pump stations, wetwells, vaults, and storage tanks where thermosetting resin liners are installed. Per Section 1.3, all values stated in inch-pound units are regarded as the standard, while SI unit conversions are provided for informational purposes only.
⚙️ Mechanical and Chemical Testing Protocols
The specification mandates a rigorous suite of physical and chemical tests to ensure the long-term performance and durability of the CIPP system. Key mechanical tests include ASTM D638 (Tensile Properties of Plastics), ASTM D790 (Flexural Properties), and ASTM D695 (Compressive Properties of Rigid Plastics). For reinforced composite liners, ASTM D3039/D3039M is specified for tensile evaluation.
Chemical resistance is critically assessed using ASTM D543 for general chemical reagent exposure and ASTM D3681 for evaluating resistance in a deflected condition. Installation procedures are governed by Practice F1216 (Inversion and Curing) and Practice F1743 (Pulled-in-Place Installation).
| 🟦 Property Category | 📏 Reference Standard | 🎯 Typical Application / Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tensile Properties (Plastics) | D638 | Evaluates base resin tensile strength and elongation. |
| Tensile Properties (Composites) | D3039/D3039M | Evaluates the tensile properties of the reinforced composite liner. |
| Flexural Properties | D790 | Determines flexural modulus and strength of the cured liner. |
| Compressive Properties | D695 | Measures compressive capacity of rigid plastics. |
| Chemical Resistance | D543 / D3681 | Evaluates resistance to chemical reagents and stress corrosion. |
| Installation Practices | F1216 / F1743 | Defines inversion and pull-in-place CIPP installation procedures. |
💡 Standard Designation Note: The current standard is designated D5813 – 04 (Reapproved 2018). The “04” reflects the year of original adoption or last major revision, while “(2018)” indicates the year of the most recent reapproval.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
🔍 What specific pipe sizes and applications does D5813 cover?
This standard covers CIPP with equivalent diameters from 4 to 132 inches (100 to 3353 mm). The primary application is gravity flow systems for sanitary sewage, storm water, and certain industrial wastes. It is also applicable to manholes, pump stations, wetwells, and vaults.
💡 What are the core physical property tests required?
The standard mandates testing according to ASTM D638 (Tensile Properties of Plastics), D790 (Flexural Properties), and D695 (Compressive Properties of Rigid Plastics). These evaluate the structural integrity of the cured-in-place pipe liner.
⚡ How is chemical resistance evaluated under this standard?
Chemical resistance is evaluated using the procedures outlined in ASTM D543 (Practices for Evaluating the Resistance of Plastics to Chemical Reagents) and ASTM D3681 (Chemical Resistance of Fiberglass Pipe in a Deflected Condition). This ensures the liner can withstand exposure to sewage, storm water, and industrial effluents.
📌 What installation practices are referenced in D5813?
The standard specifically references two key practices: ASTM F1216, which covers the inversion and curing of a resin-impregnated tube, and ASTM F1743, which covers pulled-in-place installation. Both methods are recognized for effective CIPP rehabilitation.
