Back to C217-90: AWWA Standard for Cold-Applied Petrolatum Tape and Petroleum Wax Tape Coatings for the Exterior of Special Sections, Connections, and Fittings for Buried Steel Water Pipelines
This standard establishes minimum requirements for petrolatum tape and petroleum wax tape coatings used on the exterior of steel water pipelines. This standard covers exterior tape coatings that consist of cold-applied petrolatum or petroleum wax primer and saturant petrolatum or petroleum wax tape coatings and their applications to special sections, connections, and fittings to be used with buried or submerged steel water pipelines. Such primers and tapes are not intended for use with exposed steel joints or sections of steel pipe where coatings of cement mortar or concrete have been applied directly onto the bare steel pipe. Exterior tape coatings may be field- or shop-applied according to the provisions of this standard.
