Steel Pipe

Steel Pipe

AWWA steel pipe standards cover the C200 series, addressing both steel material in the pipes themselves and a variety of related materials such as coal tar coatings, cement mortar lining, steel flanges, polyolefin, and liquid epoxy coatings. In addition, the requirements for testing of many other steel pipe fittings, linings, and coatings are specified.
