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.
Concrete pipe can be used in virtually any project where storm water, waste water, drainage, telecommunications cabling, or electrical cabling is contained or managed. We have a large selection of RCP/concrete pipe, designed to meet ASTM C-76, ASTM C-443, AASHTO M170, and APWA specifications.
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.
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.
Standard Specification for Reinforced Concrete Culvert, Storm Drain, and Sewer Pipe. NOTE: Odd Sized Pipe (27″, 33″, 45″) will be substituted up to the next available size (30″, 36″, 48″)
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.
Concrete pipes are vital components in various construction projects, offering durability, strength, and versatility. In this article, we will explore the types and classes of concrete pipes, their unique features, standards and their applications.
Concrete Sewer, Storm Drain and Culvert Pipe: Covers non-reinforced concrete pipe intended to be used for the conveyance of sewage, industrial wastes, storm water, and for the construction of culverts in sizes from 4 inches through 36 inches in diameter. ASTM C76.
We manufacture both standard and specially designed reinforced concrete pipe and custom pipe fittings to meet a variety of applications. Standard diameters ranging from 12” to 96” in lengths of 8’ up to 12’. Larger diameters available.
