1、Designation: A978/A978M 08 (Reapproved 2013)Standard 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 A978/A978M; the number immediately foll

2、owing the designation 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 specificati

3、on covers composite 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

4、 are required. 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

5、 polymer precoating 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 po

6、lyethylene lining. 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 polyethyl

7、eneliner is then 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 selec

8、tion of sheet thickness, type of bedding andbackfill, controlled manufacture in the plant, and care in theinstallation. The installation procedure is described in PracticeA798/A798M.1.4 This specification is applicable to orders in eitherinch-pound units as A978, or in SI units as A978M. Inch-pound

9、units and SI units are not necessarily equivalent. SI unitsare shown in brackets in the text for clarity, but they are theapplicable values when the material is ordered to A978M.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is therespons

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