Yes, indeed as said above refer the Code because every pipe manufacturer has to adhere to the prescribed codes. Moreover the Code clearly explains the topic, needed values and everything in regard. The Code to be selected depends upon the region wherein you are working. If there are no region specific codes then you could adopt American Water Works Association(AWWA) Codes and Standards.
