Description / Abstract:
This specification covers non-asbestos fiber-cement pipe
intended for use in storm-water drainage of highways, airports,
farms, foundations, and other similar drainage systems.
The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to
be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units
are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not
exact equivalents; therefore each system shall be used
independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems
may result in nonconformance with the specification.
NOTE 1—Experience has shown that the successful performance of
this product depends upon the proper selection of the pipe
strength, the type of bedding and backfill, care that the
installation conforms to the construction specifications, and
provision for adequate inspection at the construction site. This
specification does not include requirements for bedding, backfill,
the relationship between field load conditions and the strength
designation of the pipe, or durability. These requirements should
be included in the project specification.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
