History oi Standard
Prestressed-concrete steel-cylinder pipe, as described in this standard, pro vides an optimum utilization of steel and concrete with minimal weight un der given design conditions and gives excellent performance under various internal and external pressure condi tions.
There are two types of prestressedconcrete steel-cylinder pipe: (1) the lined-cylinder type with a core com posed of a steel cylinder lined with con crete and subsequently wire-wrapped directly on the steel cylinder and coated with mortar; and (2) the embeddedcylinder type with a core composed of a steel cylinder encased in concrete and subsequently wire-wrapped on the ex terior concrete surface and coated with concrete or mortar. The lined-cylin der type, which was first used in the US in 1942, is furnished in sizes from 16 to 48 in. The embedded-cylinder type, which was developed later and first installed in 1953, is manufactured in sizes 24 in. and larger.
Both types are designed for the spe cific combination of internal pressure and external load required for the proj ect in accordance with the procedures outlined in the appendices of this standard. Lined-cylinder type is de signed generally for pressures up to 250 psi and embedded-cylinder type, up to 350 psi, but both types have been designed and constructed for substan tially higher pressures.
Prestressed-concrete steel-cylinder pipe is used for transmission mains,
distribution feeder mains, pressure si
phons (including river crossings),
penstocks, industrial pressure lines,
water intake lines, sewer force mains,
and sewer outfall lines. In the manufacture of lined-cyjinder
pipe, the first step is to make and hy draulically test the steel cylinder with joint rings attached. The cylinder is then centrifugally lined with dense con crete to constitute the core. The con crete lining is cured and high-tensile wire is wrapped around the core di rectly on the steel cylinder. For a se lected wire size, the tension and spacing of the wire are controlled to produce a predetermined residual compression in the core to meet design requirements. The wrapped core is then covered with a dense premixed mortar coating about | in. thick, applied by a mechanical im pact method.
In the manufacture of embeddedcylinder pipe, the cylinder and joint rings are constructed and tested in the same manner as for lined-cylinder pipe. The cylinder is encased in concrete by vertical casting and mechanical vibra tion to constitute the core. After cur ing, the wire reinforcement is wound, under tension, in one or more layers around the outside of the concrete core containing the cylinder, instead of di rectly on the cylinder. The exterior coating of premixed mortar or concrete is placed by an impact method or by vertical casting. Embedded-cylinder construction has been found to be su perior for large sizes and for pipe de signed for comparatively high pressures.

Installation of this pipe is covered by AWWA Manual M-9, Installation of Concrete Pipe.
Information Regarding Use of This Standard
When purchasing pipe under the provisions of this standard, the pur chaser shall furnish supplementary specifications to include specific details concerning the following:
1. Standard used; that is, AWWA C301-72
2. Type of pipe, either lined-cylinder pipe or embedded-cylinder pipe (Sec. 1.3)
3. Manner of storage and delivery, if required of the manufacturer
4. Whether there is any internal op erating pressure, transient pressure, ex ternal earth load, or trench bedding condition in excess of that provided for in Sec. 3.2 (Sec. 1.2.8, 1.2.9, 1.4.1, and 1.5.2)
5. Whether pipe may not be sup plied from inventory (Sec. 1.5.1)
6. Whether a tabulated layout sched ule (Sec. 1.5.2) will be required
7. Identification marks required (Sec. 1.6)
8. Whether the purchaser desires to inspect the pipe and fittings at the manufacturer's plant (Sec. 1.7.1)
9. Whether steel test reports (Sec. 1.9.3) and test specimens (Sec. 1.9.4) will be required
10. Whether submission of rubber gasket material test reports (Sec. 1.9.5 and 2.11.8) will be required
11. Whether an affidavit of compli ance (Sec. 1.10) will be required
12. Type of cement required, if there is a preference (Sec. 2.1.1)
13. Whether aggregate samples (Sec. 2.4) will be required
14. Whether submission of manufac turer's design calculations (Sec. 3.2.1) will be required
15. Type of protective coating on ex posed portions of joint rings (Sec. 3.3)
16. Whether submission for approval of details of materials and methods of welding (Sec. 3.5.2) will be required
17. Whether a specific seal coat (Sec. 3.11) will be required
18. Details of fittings (Sec. 4.1) 19. Testing of steel cylinders for fittings (Sec. 4.2 and 4.3) 20. Whether lining and coating of structural-steel connections (Sec. 4.5) will be required
Major Revisions
The major revisions in this edition consist of the following:
1. The title has been changed to re flect the scope of the standard more accurately. The phrase "water pipe" has been changed to "pressure pipe" and the following phrase was added: "For water and other liquids"
2. The entire standard was carefully reviewed and changes were made in most of the sections to improve under standing and readability
3. Use of the standard was improved by the addition of titles to all sections
I
CTD014675
PRESTRESSED CONCRETE PRESSURE PIPE
Vll
4. The scope, which formerly pro vided for pipe sizes from 16 in. to 96 in., was enlarged to provide for sizes from 16 to 144 in.
5. A minimum cylinder thickness of 18 gage is permitted for pipe 48 in. and smaller; and of 16 gage for pipe 54 in. and larger
6. Provision has been made that the minimum design thickness of the core, including the thickness of the cylinder, shall be iV of the design pipe diameter. This provision eliminates the need for Table 3 in the previous edition of AWWA C301. In that table the core thickness for embedded-cylinder pipe larger than 48 in. in diameter was based, for manufacturing reasons, on using the outside form for AWWA C300 pipe of the same diameter to cast the concrete embedment over the steel cylinder.
7. Multiple layers of circumferential reinforcement are expressly provided for in Sec. 3.8. This is necessary when high pressures are involved and the re quired amount of wire cannot be fur nished in one layer because of insuffi cient space
8. The requirements for "ordinary'1 bedding, as specified in Sec. 3.2.2, have been provided. The previous edition specified "ordinary" bedding, but did not define the requirements
9. The extra circumferential wrap of wire required at each end of the core may now be applied at one half the design tension. This will most benefit embedded pipe where the wire anchor age has usually been embedded in the concrete and, at times, has pulled loose at the beginning of the wrapping process
10. The minimum time required for steam curing has been reduced from 32 to 24 hr. The actual time used will depend on temperature, which may vary from 110F to 150F, and other
conditions. This does not relax the concrete strength requirements. The
wrapping with high-tensile wire cannot
begin until the concrete has reached minimum specified seven-day compres
sive strength and the initial compres sion in the concrete shall not exceed 55
per cent of the compressive strength of the concrete at the time of wrapping.

The wire area, tension, and spacing under which the wire is wound and the core thickness shall be varied so that the specific combination of design pressure and earth load will fall on or
under the design curve illustrated in Fig. B (a and b). The resulting design has a transient-load capacity equal to the difference between the design pressure or earth load and the value determined from the extension of the appropriate line for surge pres sure or live load until it intersects the transient-load curve. If surge pressure exceeds 40 per cent of design pressure, or live load (including im pact) exceeds the American Associa tion of State Highway Officials H-20 loading, this greater value should be stated in the supplementary specifica tions.
