ASTM C118M-99

Standard Specification for Concrete Pipe for Irrigation or Drainage (Metric)

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers nonreinforced concrete pipe to be used for the conveyance of irrigation water with working pressures, including hydraulic transients, as shown in Table 1 and for use in drainage.  
1.2 This specification is the SI counterpart of Specification C118.  Note-This specification is for manufacturing and purchase only and does not include requirements for bedding, backfill, installation, or field repairs. The owner is cautioned that he must correlate field conditions with the characteristics of the pipe specified and provide inspection during installation.
