Foreword
This foreword is for information only and is not part ofC402.
I. History of Standard. A new pipe material consisting of an intimate mix ture of portland cement and asbestos fibers was introduced to the North American market in 1931 following several years of use in other countries, particularly Italy.
In the ensuing years, this type of pipe gained popularity, and in 1949 AWWA established a committee on standard specifications for asbestos-cement pipe under the chairmanship of S.M. Clarke of Greeley and Hansen, Chicago, 111.
The committee developed a standard for asbestos-cement water pipe, which was approved by the AWWA Board of Directors as a tentative standard, AWWA C400-53T, on May 15, 1953. In 1958, the committee was reactivated as Committee 8340D on Asbestos-Cement Pipe under the chairmanship of Roy H. Ritter of Whit man, Requardt, and Associates, Baltimore, Md., to review several suggested changes and to recommend revisions to the standard. The committee produced a tentative standard adopted by AWWA as C400-64T on Jan. 27, 1964. It was advanced to standard without revision on July 2, 1965.
In early 1968, the committee was reactivated as the Standards Committee on Asbestos-Cement Pipe to review and revise all of the AWWA standards on asbestos-cement pipe. The committee produced a revised standard approved by the Board of Directors on Jan. 31, 1972, and designated as AWWA C400-74, Standard for Asbestos-Cement Pressure Pipe for Water and Other Liquids.
In the winter of 1972--73, the committee was reorganized and enlarged to include representation of national organizations having an interest in the scope of the committee and wishing to participate in the work. The reorganized committee reaffirmed C400-72 without revision and it was presented to the American National Standards Institute and designated as an American National Standard.
In 1975, the committee produced a revised standard approved by the AWWA Board of Directors on Jan. 26, 1975, and designated as AWWA C400-75, Standard for Asbestos-Cement Pressure Pipe, 4 In. Through 24 In., for Water and Other Liquids.
Also on Jan. 26, 1975, the AWWA Board of Directors approved the first edition of this standard designated as AWWA C402-75, Standard for Asbestos-Cement Transmission Pipe, 18 In. Through 42 In., for Water and Other Liquids. This first edition adopted a new system of manufactured pipe-strength classifications, which provided designers with the flexibility to choose among nine standard pipe-strength classifications for each size of transmission pipe. This design capability is of par ticular significance for large-diameter pipeline projects where tailoring of pipe strength to project conditions can produce significant savings in material costs. Such savings can exceed the increased costs necessitated by more detailed design, better control over installation methods, and provisions for surge controls when justified.
The standard was revised in 1977 to provide a more detailed description of aggressive soil and water conditions, redefinition of manufactured lots, and defini tion of the machines to be used for physical testing. AWWA C402-77 was approved by the AWWA Board of Directors on Jan. 30, 1977.
The 1977 edition of the standard was again revised in 1984 to incorporate soft metric equivalents, provide explanations of methods for testing for hydrostatic and crushing requirements, and included appendix A, which described fittings for use
with asbestos-cement transmission pipe. AWWA C402-84 was approved by the AWWA Board of Directors on Jan. 30, 1984.
In 1978, the American Water Works Association issued AWWA Manual M16, Work Practices for Asbestos-Cement Pipe * under the chairmanship of Jeptha A. Wade. This manual was strongly endorsed by the standards committee on asbestoscement pipe, and should be carefully followed in all aspects of asbestos-cement pipe installation.
II. Information Regarding Use of This Standard. II.A General. When ordering pipe covered by this standard, local installation and operating conditions should be considered to determine the classification and type of pipe to specify. Also, certain other items must be specified to describe com pletely the pipe required. It is recommended that, for large-diameter pipeline projects, the purchaser evaluates local installation and operating conditions, operating pressures and surge pressures, trench loads, and surface loads when determining the strength classifica tion to be used. The purchaser is referred to AWWA C403, Standard Practice for the Selection of Asbestos-Cement Transmission and Feeder Main Pipe, Sizes 18 In. Through 42 In.,t for guidance in the design of asbestos-cement pipe to fit individual installa tion and operating conditions, and to AWWA C603, Installation of Asbestos-Cement Pressure Pipe, for guidance in the installation of the pipe. Effective July 21, 1986, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) revised its standards for workplace exposure to airborne asbestos particles. The current standard makes the employer responsible for ensuring that employee exposures to airborne asbestos fiber concentrations do not exceed stringent exposure limits. The OSHA construction standard on asbestos, 29 CFR 1926, prescribes initial air monitoring and other compliance measures. The OSHA requirements apply to the manufacture, shipping, handling, installation, and repair of asbestos-cement pipe and appurtenances. It is recommended that users and prospective users of asbestos-cement pipe familiarize themselves with the current OSHA asbestos work practice standards. II.B Flexural load test. Flexural load tests are not required (Sec. 2.2.1 and Sec. 5.2.3). For large diameters, the wall thicknesses increase to a point at which the flexural strength is not a controlling factor, and therefore, routine testing is not required. II.C Type of pipe. The following criteria are presented for determining the type of pipe to be used under various soil and water conditions. Each condition should be considered separately even though each may exist in combination with others. These criteria are based on exposures within the temperature range of 40-80F (5-28C). For pipe exposures to temperatures beyond these limits, consult the manufacturer for guidance in the installation of the pipe.

V]
The following criteria are referenced as: I. Internal water (Table F.l). ,2. External water (Table F.2). 3. Nonacid soluble sulfates--internal and external (Table F.3). 4. Acid soluble sulfates--internal and external. II. C.l Internal water. Aggressiveness of water transported through asbestoscement pipes is related to the type designation of asbestos-cement pipe suitable for such use in Table F.l. Aggressiveness of water is defined as follows:
(a) Highly aggressive: pH + log (AH) < 10.0
(b) Moderately aggressive: pH + log (AH) = 10.0 through 11.9
(c) Nonaggressive: pH + log (AH) > 12.0
Where:
pH = index of acidity (or alkalinity) of the water--standard pH units A = total alkalinity--mg/L as CaC03 H = calcium hardness--mg/L as CaC03
It should be recognized that water with a pH + log (AH) less than or equal to 10 is a highly aggressive water and would be very corrosive to almost all materials found in a typical water system, including residential plumbing. Such waters should be treated to increase pH or hardness to protect the entire network of materials that make up the system. In the event such water treatment is not to be undertaken, the manufacturer of each item used in the water system should be consulted for recom mendations regarding tire use of the product in an extremely corrosive environment.
NOTE: The expression pH + log (AH) is a modification of the Langelier Index. It has been prepared so that the aggressiveness of the water may be determined easily. A reasonable comparison of the two would be as follows:
Highly aggressive water Moderately aggressive water Nonagressive water
pH + log (AH)
<10.0 10.0 through 11.9
>12.0
Langelier Index
<-2.0 -2.0 through-0.1
>0
II.C.2 External water. Aggressiveness of external water (water within the soil environment) in relation to asbestos-cement pipe is shown in Table F.2.
The guidelines for the use of asbestos-cement pipe in nonsulfate acidic soils are based on minimum pH factors alone. Asbestos-cement pipe may or may not per form satisfactorily in acidic soil environments having pH values below those listed in Table F.2. To determine the suitability of asbestos-cement pipe in soils having lower pH values, each situation should be evaluated individually, taking into con sideration all aspects of soil environment that affect corrosion of asbestos-cement pipe.
II.C.3 Nonacid-soluble sulfates--internal and external. Aggressiveness of non acid- (pH >7.0) soluble sulfates in water and soils is related to the type designation of asbestos-cement pipe suitable for such use, as shown in Table F.3. Sulfate aggressiveness in water and soil can be classified as indicated in Table F.4.
II.C.4 Acid-soluble sulfates--internal and external. Aggressiveness of acid(pH <7.0) soluble sulfate waters and soils to asbestos-cement pipe must be evaluated independently. Acid sulfate soils and waters, whether the acid is inorganic

Sec. 1.4 Affidavit of Compliance
The purchaser's supplemental specifications may require an affidavit of com pliance from the manufacturer, whether factory inspection has been required or not, to the effect that the materials furnished under the purchaser's order comply with all applicable requirements of this standard.
Sec. 1.5 Permeation
The selection of materials is critical for water service and distribution piping in locations where there is likelihood the pipe will be exposed to significant concentra tions of pollutants comprised of low molecular weight petroleum products or organic solvents or their vapors. Research has documented that pipe materials such as polyethylene, polybutylene, polyvinyl chloride, and asbestos cement; and elastomers, such as used in jointing gaskets and packing glands, may be subject to permeation by lower molecular weight organic solvents or petroleum products. If a water pipe must pass through such a contaminated area or an area subject to contamination, consult with the manufacturer regarding permeation of pipe walls, jointing materials, etc., before selecting materials for use in that area.

SECTION 5: INSPECTION, TESTING, AND REJECTION
Sec. 5.1 Inspection
5.1.1 General. Inspection by the purchaser shall not relieve the manufacturer of the responsibility to furnish material, finished pipe, and appurtenances conform ing to the requirements of this standard.
5.1.2 Notification. If inspection by the purchaser is specified, the manufac turer shall notify the purchaser, in advance, of the date, time, and place of testing of the pipe, so that the purchaser may be represented at the test.
5.1.3 Access. The inspector shall have free access to those parts of the manufacturer's plant that are involved in work performed under this standard. The manufacturer shall afford the inspector, without charge, all reasonable facilities for determining whether the pipe meets the requirements of this standard.
5.1.4 Testing. If inspection by the purchaser is specified, the purchaser may, at his or her option, witness any or all tests. The pipe to be tested shall have passed the routine inspection and testing as stated in this standard. The number of tests to be conducted for hydrostatic bursting strength (lot test) and, when required, crush ing strength shall be limited to one test per each 300 standard lengths of each size, type, and classification of pipe on the order. If uncombined calcium hydroxide tests are required, the number of tests will be one test for each size, type, and classifica tion of pipe on the order. The purchaser or his or her authorized inspector may select the pipe to be tested. Retesting and rejection as shown in Sec. 5.3 shall apply.
Sec. 5.2 Physical Test Requirements
5.2.1 Test specimens. All pipes and couplings tested under this standard shall be in a normal, air-dried condition when tested.
5.2.2 Hydrostatic tests. 5.2.2.1 Each standard, random, or short length of pipe and each coupling sleeve shall be subjected to an internal hydrostatic test pressure equivalent to the proof-test pressure indicated in Table 4. Hydrostatic tests shall be conducted in accordance with hydrostatic proof test requirements of the latest edition of ASTM C500. Any pipe length or coupling sleeve showing leakage, sweating, or other defects . shall be rejected. The test pressure shall be maintained for at least 5 s.

5.2.2.2 From each lot that has passed the hydrostatic proof test, a 1-ft (300 mm) or longer length of pipe shall be cut from the unmachined portion of a pipe. The unmachined sample shall withstand the hydrostatic lot test shown in Table 4 when tested in the manner set forth in Sec. 5.2.2.1, except that the test pressure need not be held for 5 s. If inspection by the purchaser has been specified, the length of pipe to be tested may be selected by the inspector.
5.2.3 Flexural testing. No flexural testing is required. 5.2.4 Crushing tests. On lots containing more than 100 lengths of each size and class, one length from each 300 lengths or fraction thereof shall be tested for crushing strength. If inspection by the purchaser has been specified, the length of pipe to be tested may be selected by the inspector. From each selected length, one unmachined section of pipe 1-ft (300-mm) long shall be cut. This section shall be tested for crushing strength in accordance with the three-edge, vee-shaped bearing test listed in the latest edition of ASTM C500. The test section shall not fail until the total load applied meets or exceeds the applicable value shown in Table 2. 5.2.5 Machines for testing. 5.2.5.1 The machine used for the hydrostatic test shall have gaskets that seal the ends of the pipe, coupling, or pipe and coupling with factory-assembled joint, but shall exert no end pressure. Couplings may be hydrostatically tested with a rubber bladder inside the coupling and, if so tested, each coupling shall have sufficient strength to withstand the lot test pressure indicated in Table 4. 5.2.5.2 The machines used for the crushing test shall be substantial and rigid throughout so that the distribution of the load will not be appreciably affected by the deformation or yielding of any part of the machine.
Sec. 5.3 Retests (Physical) and Rejection
5.3.1 Crushing strength. The failure of any specimen tested for crushing strength to support 75 percent of the crushing load required in Table 2 shall be cause for rejection of that portion of the lot of that size, type, and class manufac tured during the same shift as the test specimen. If any specimen tested for crushing strength supports more than 75 percent, but less than 100 percent of the crushing load, two additional pipe sections of the same size, type, and class manufactured during the same shift shall be subjected to the same crushing test. The additional lengths may be selected by the inspector if inspection by the pur chaser has been specified. The failure of one of these additional specimens to meet the full crushing-strength requirement shall be cause for rejection of that portion of the lot of that size, type, and class manufactured during the same shift as the test specimen.
5.3.2 Hydrostatic tests. If any pipe subjected to the hydrostatic tests set forth in Sec. 5.2.2.2 fails to withstand the specified pressure, two additional lengths of the same size and class manufactured during the same shift shall be subjected to the same hydrostatic test. The failure of one of these additional lengths to withstand the specified pressure shall be cause for rejection of that portion of the lot of that size, type, and class manufactured during the same shift as the test lengths.
Sec. 5.4 Test for Uncombined Calcium Hydroxide
The manufacturer shall perform the test for uncombined calcium hydroxide as often as necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements for uncombined cal cium hydroxide in type II pipe. The uncombined calcium hydroxide test shall be conducted in accordance with the requirements of ASTM C500.

Sec. 5.5 Test Records The results of all tests shall be recorded and retained for one year, and shall be
available to the purchaser at the place of manufacture.
SECTION 6: MARKING AND DELIVERY
Sec. 6.1 Marking 6.1.1 Standard and random lengths. The outside surface of each standard or
random length of pipe shall be clearly marked with the trade name, nominal inside diameter, classification, type, date, and shift of manufacture, and the word Trans mission.
6.1.2 Short lengths. The outside surface of each short length of pipe shall be clearly marked on the outside surface with the nominal inside diameter, the clas sification, the letter T to indicate that it has been hydrostatically tested, and the word Transmission.
6.1.3 Couplings. All component parts of each coupling shall be clearly marked for use with the pipe for which they are intended. Each coupling shall also be marked with the letter T to indicate that it has been hydrostatically tested.
6.1.4 Special markings. If factory inspection is made by the purchaser or his or her inspector, each pipe and each coupling shall receive an additional special marking of no more than three letters, as specified by the purchaser.
Sec. 6.2 Preparation for Shipment Unless otherwise specified, all pipe and couplings shall be prepared for stan
dard commercial shipment.
