This standard describes the manufacture of circumferentially reinforced
concrete pressure pipe, without a steel cylinder and not prestressed, in sizes from
12 in. to 144 in. (300 mm to 3,660 mm) inclusive and for working pressures
not exceeding 55 psi (380 kPa) and working plus surge pressures not exceeding
a total pressure of 65 psi (450 kPa). This type of pipe is designed for the internal
pressure, external loads, and bedding conditions designated by the purchaser.
Pipe of diameters larger than 144 in. (3,660 mm) have been manufactured based
on the concepts of this standard. This standard does not include requirements
for design, handling, delivery, laying, field testing, or disinfection of pipe. See
AWWA Manual M9, Concrete Pressure Pipe, for information on these topics.
Major revisions made to the standard in this edition
include the following:
a provision that materials shall comply with the requirements of the Safe
Drinking Water Act and other federal regulations has been added (Sec. 4.4);
material provisions for steel for fittings, steel reinforcement, and steel for
joint rings have been modified (Sec. 4.4.6, Sec. 4.4.7, and Sec. 4.4.8);
for design of pipe (Sec. 4.5.2), provisions for radial tension and shear have
been added (Sec. 4.5.2.1);
provisions for joints have been updated (Sec. 4.5.3); and, provisions for concrete cover and reinforcement tolerances have been modified
(Sec. 4.6.4.3).
