1、Designation: A 978/A 978M 08Standard Specification forComposite Ribbed Steel Pipe, Precoated and PolyethyleneLined for Gravity Flow Sanitary Sewers, Storm Sewers, andOther Special Applications1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A 978/A 978M; the number immediately following the desi

2、gnation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers comp

3、osite ribbed steel pipe,precoated and polyethylene lined intended for use for gravityflow sanitary sewers, storm sewers, and other special applica-tions such as water transmission pipe, rehabilitation pipe, slipline pipe, and irrigation pipe where extra corrosion andabrasion resistance are required.

4、 The steel sheet used in thefabrication of the pipe has a polymer coating over a metalliccoating of zinc on both sides. In addition, as the pipe is beingfabricated, the ribs are filled with polyethylene and then apolyethylene liner is extruded onto the interior surface.1.2 The exterior polymer preco

5、ating provides extra protec-tion of the steel against soilside corrosion, in addition to thatprovided by the metallic coating, and also provides a dielectricbarrier for cathodic protection. The interior polymer precoatingprovides an adhesive layer between the galvanized steel andthe polyethylene lin

6、ing. The applied lining provides internalprotection against corrosion, erosion, and abrasion. By fillingthe rib which has a deltoid shape (smaller at the opening in thepipe wall than at the bottom of the rib), the polyethylene ismechanically connected to the pipe wall and the polyethyleneliner is th

7、en thermally bonded to the filled rib.1.3 This specification does not include requirements forbedding, backfill, or the relationship between earth cover loadand sheet thickness of the pipe. Experience has shown that thesuccessful performance of this product depends upon theproper selection of sheet

8、thickness, type of bedding andbackfill, controlled manufacture in the plant, and care in theinstallation. The installation procedure is described in PracticeA 798.1.4 This specification is applicable to orders in eitherinch-pound units as A 978, or in SI units as A 978M.Inch-pound units and SI units

9、 are not necessarily equivalent. SIunits are shown in brackets in the text for clarity, but they arethe applicable values when the material is ordered to A 978M.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the us

10、er of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
