Fusion-Bonded Polyethylene Coatings for Steel Water Pipe and Fittings
This standard describes the materials and application requirements for factory-applied, fusion-bonded polyethylene (FBPE) coating to the exterior of steel water pipes and fittings.
1.1.1 Maximum temperatures. AWWA steel pipe coating standards are written for and based on the service temperature of potable water. Consult the manufacturer for conditions and limitations.
1.1.2 Conditions not described in this standard. This standard does not discuss the additional materials and procedures that may be required for difficult installation conditions, such as those encountered in the construction of submerged lines, casing pipe, directional drilling pipe, or river crossings. The manufacturer should be consulted for specific recommendations when these conditions exist.
1.1.3 Other substrates. When this standard is referenced for substrates other than carbon steel, the surface preparation methods, application methods and performance data listed in this standard may not be applicable and the coating manufacturer should be consulted.
This standard can be referenced in documents for applying, inspecting, and testing FBPE coating. The requirements of this standard apply when this document has been referenced and then only to FBPE coating used for steel water pipe and fittings.
