MIL-HDBK-1005/7A
7.1.5.2
Concrete Pipe Joints . Concrete pipe joints should be
designed as specified in AWWA standards. The following AWWA
standards are for concrete pipe:
C300
Reinforced Concrete Pressure Pipe, Steel-Cylinder
Type
C301
Prestressed Concrete Pressure Pipe, Steel-
Cylinder Type, for Water and Other Liquids
C302
Reinforced Concrete Pressure Pipe, Non-Cylinder
Type
C303
Concrete Pressure Pipe, Bar-Wrapped, Steel-
Cylinder Type
7.1.5.3
Steel Pipe Joints . Steel pipe joints should be
selected as specified in the following AWWA standards:
C200
Steel Water Pipe - 6 in. and Larger
C206
Field Welding of Steel Water Pipe
C207
Steel Pipe Flanges for Waterworks Service - Sizes
4 in. Through 144 in.
C219
Bolted, Sleeve-Type Couplings for Plain-End Pipe
C221
Fabricated Steel Mechanical Slip-Type Expansion
Joints
AWWA C200 provides general information regarding pipe joints.
a) Rubber-gasketed joints and sleeve-type mechanical
couplings are recommended for general use. The couplings are
useful for the same purposes as listed for cast iron pipe.
b) Welded joints may be used on pipe s which have no
inside coating and for pipes with inside diameter greater than
24 in. with inside coating, where the inside is accessible and
the joints are lined after welding.
c) Flanged joints and clamp-type mechanical
d) Expansion joints of the stuffing box type should
be used at appropriate intervals on pipe with welded joints to
relieve strains, especially for exposed pipe.
