I would like a copy of the following publications: |
|
Concrete Pressure Pipe (ACPPA)
This informational pamphlet provides a brief look at early water supply systems and the development of modern designs for concrete pressure pipe. The pamphlet also offers an overview of national standards for the design, manufacture and installation of concrete pressure pipe as developed by the Standards Council of the American Water Works Association (AWWA). |
|
External Protection of Concrete Cylinder Pipe (ACPPA)
This educational booklet provides a brief look at four types of concrete cylinder pipe available within the marketplace — prestressed concrete embedded-cylinder pipe, prestressed concrete lined-cylinder pipe, bar-wrapped concrete cylinder pipe and reinforced concrete cylinder pipe. The booklet also offers an overview of appropriate protective measures for adverse environments, including high chloride, high sulfate, stray currents, long-term atmospheric exposure and severe acid conditions. |

Lessons Learned from Iron Pipe (ACPPA)
This technical report is the first in a series of six publications documenting real-life examples of corrosion-induced pipe wall perforation in water and wastewater systems using ductile iron pipe (DIP). The case histories depicted in this report represent experience with DIP after 5 to 26 years of service in soils with resistivities ranging from 84 to 220,000 ohm-centimeters. |
|
Lessons Learned from Iron Pipe - Volume 2 (ACPPA)
This technical report is the second in a series of six publications documenting real-life examples of corrosion-induced pipe wall perforation in water and wastewater systems using ductile iron pipe (DIP). The case histories depicted in this report represent experience with DIP after 7 to 30 years of service in soils with resistivities ranging from 187 to more than One Million ohm-centimeters. |
|
Lessons Learned from Iron Pipe - Volume 3 (ACPPA)
This technical report is the third in a series of six publications documenting real-life examples of corrosion-induced pipe wall perforation in water and wastewater systems using ductile iron pipe (DIP). The case histories depicted in this report represent experience with DIP after 16 to 35 years of service in soils with resistivities ranging from 770 to 6400 ohm-centimeters. |
|
Lessons Learned from Iron Pipe - Volume 4 (ACPPA)
This technical report is the fourth in a series of six publications documenting real-life examples of corrosion-induced pipe wall perforation in water and wastewater systems using ductile iron pipe (DIP). The case histories depicted in this report include examples of DIP corrosion on mains (20 to 35 years old) having only factory-applied asphaltic coating or polyethylene encasement. |
|
Lessons Learned from Iron Pipe - Volume 5 (ACPPA)
This technical report is the fifth in a series of six publications documenting real-life examples of corrosion-induced pipe wall perforation in water and wastewater systems using ductile iron pipe (DIP). The case histories depicted in this report represent DIP corrosion incidents in virtually all geographic regions of the United States and Canada. |
|
Lessons Learned from Iron Pipe - Volume 6 (ACPPA)
This technical report is the last in a series of six publications documenting real-life examples of corrosion-induced pipe wall perforation in water and wastewater systems using ductile iron pipe (DIP). Relying upon data presented in the first five volumes in the series, the report details the development of formulas for estimating the time to penetration of DIP. The formulas can be used to estimate the life expectancy of a DIP main in a given soil environment. |

Improving Prestressing Wire Reliability in Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe (Richard O. Lewis)
Originally published in Materials Performance magazine in July 2002, this article discusses improvements in the manufacture and quality assurance of wire used for prestressing concrete pipe. Wire drawing practices and starting rod properties can yield prestressing wire that has unacceptable sensitivity to hydrogen embrittlement (HE). The article reviews the evolution of a methodology to ensure that prestressing wire for PCCP has a very low susceptibility to HE. |
|
Analysis of Ductile Iron Corrosion Data from Operating Mains (Michael J. Szeliga)
Originally published in Materials Performance magazine in February 2007, this article discusses independent corrosion evaluations of ductile iron pipe (DIP). Included are evaluations of the extent of corrosion on DIP in various soil environments, the effectiveness of polyethylene encasement for corrosion control, the effectiveness of standard factory-applied asphaltic coating for corrosion control and the effectiveness of the 10-point Soil Test Evaluation Method in predicting corrosion activity on DIP. |
|
Concrete Pressure Pipe: The Transmission Workhorse (Chuck Carden & Joe A. Dysard, II)
Originally published in Opflow magazine in January 2005, this article provides a brief look at the history of concrete pressure pipe in water transmission systems and the development of AWWA standards for manufacturing concrete pressure pipe. The article also discusses the role of the American Concrete Pressure Pipe Association in maintaining quality through its third-party Compliance Audit and Certification Program conducted by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance, a leading global business assurance company. |
|
Quality and Performance of Prestressing Wire for Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe (Richard O. Lewis)
This technical report provides a brief history of prestressed concrete pressure pipe (PCCP) and prestressing wire and the development of applicable manufacturing standards for both products. The report also reviews and discusses the evolution of prestressing wire from the 1940's to the present, and the impact of wire properties on the performance of PCCP manufactured and installed in the United States during the past 60 years. |
