The American Concrete Pipe Association (ACPA) has established standard sizes, thickness and weight for concrete pipes following all the appropriate ASTM and AASHTO criteria. These sizes are commonly used in the USA and are readily available from most concrete pipe manufacturers.
Whether handling amounts of waste, accommodating sudden onsets of water runoff and flooding, or carrying water into agricultural sectors to irrigate crops, utilities are the veins beneath a city's concrete surface. One of the most commonly used types of pipe is Reinforced Concrete Pipe, or RCP.
Standard concrete pipe sizes are 18, 15, 12, 10, and 8 inches. The size of a concrete pipe is determined by its diameter. ASTM C76 is a standard for reinforced and non-reinforced concrete pipes.
The Concrete Pipe Design Manual is an indispensable tool to help engineers select the type, size, and strength requirements of pipe. It eliminates the lengthy computations and includes standard installations using the indirect design method.
ASTM or equivalent specifications for reinforced concrete circular, arch, or elliptical pipe have design tables of different strength classifications that give the diameter, wall thickness, compressive strength of the concrete, and the amount of reinforcement required.
Manufacture of Reinforced Concrete Sewer, Storm Drain, and Culvert Pipe for Direct Design: Covers the manufacture and acceptance of precast concrete pipe designed to conform to the owner’s design requirements and to ASCE 15-93 (Direct Design Standard) or an equivalent design specification. ASTM C1433.
Reinforced concrete pipe is normally available in diameters of 12 inch through 144 inch. Application. Reinforced concrete pipe can be used for the following: sanitary sewers. storm drains. culverts. impound overflow conduits. irrigation distribution systems. low pressure sewer force mains. treatment plant piping. outfalls. utility tunnels.
A comparison of the values listed in the tables for equivalent pipe sizes illustrated the hydrau-lic advantage of concrete pipe. Also note the hydraulic efficiency of the elliptical concrete pipe and concrete arch pipe over the corrugated metal pipe arches.
Explore ready-to-ship reinforced concrete pipe dimensions that meet or exceed quality standards and match your exact specifications. See how AmeriTex facilities in Conroe, Seguin, and Gunter can help you review a concrete pipe sizes chart today.
The Design Manual is a companion volume to the Concrete Pipe Handbook. Learn about the various ASTM, AASHTO, FHWA, and state-specific specifications for concrete pipe and box culverts.
