ANSI/AWWA C301

Concrete pipe

Standard AWWA C301
Prestressed Concrete Pressure Pipe, Steel-Cylinder Type

AWWA pipe standards are widely used by pipe manufacturers in North America. The AWWA C301 standard specifically covers the manufacture of prestressed concrete pressure pipe with steel-cylinder and wire reinforcement in sizes 16 in. (410 mm) through 144 in. (3 660 mm). Larger sizes have been manufactured based on the concepts presented in this standard. Note that the standard does not cover the design of prestressed concrete pipes.
