Protect Yourself With the Materials You Specify for Pipe Designs
There are several similarities and differences in the requirements for proper installation of reinforced concrete pipe and thermoplastic pipe products. Concrete pipe installations are based on ASTM C1479 and thermoplastic pipe installations are based on ASTM D2321. This presentation will provide a side by side comparison of these two unique specifications and the engineer’s responsibility when choosing between the two.
