Back to AWWA C217-04 Petrolatum and Petroleum Wax Tape Coatings for the Exterior of Connections and Fittings for Steel Water Pipelines
This standard establishes minimum requirements for cold-applied petrolatum
tape and petroleum wax tape coatings used on the exterior of steel water pipelines.
This standard describes exterior coatings that consist of cold-applied petrolatum
or petroleum wax primer, petrolatum or petroleum wax saturated tape coatings and
their applications to special sections, connections, and fittings to be used with buried
or submerged steel water pipelines. The primers and tapes are not intended for use
with steel joints or sections of steel pipe where coatings of cement mortar or concrete
are applied directly onto the bare steel pipe. These coatings may be field- or
shop-applied according to the provisions of this standard. Major revisions made to the standard in this edition
include the following: the
title was changed for simplification;
the word "visual" was added in Sec. 4.3.4.; and,
Sec. 5.3.2 requirements were changed to reference rejected coating
materials.
