Use of This Standard Warren, Tetra Tech Inc. Recommended dimensions are shown in Figure 3. Refer to Figure 4.

90 Degree Mitred Bend, ASTM A234 WPB, DN750, AWWA C208

In their latest editions, these documents form a part of this standard to the extent specified within this standard. Many configurations of fittings are possible and alternatives to this standard may be agreed upon between the purchaser and manufacturer.

Accordingly, each user of this standard is responsible for determining that the standard’s provisions are suitable for and compatible with that user’s intended application. The following items should be covered in the purchaser’s specifications: Deletion of alternate Table 3.

Submittal of shop detail and assembly drawings. Minimum dimensions for laterals of equal diameters and suitable for angle 6 of 30″ to 70″ are stated awwaa Table 1.

Refer to Figure 1C. By the early s,both riveted and lock-bar methods were gradually phased out and welding dominated the pipe-making process. In this procedure, the pipe end is miter cut, and then the bell is expanded square with the face of the miter cut see Figure 2B. Refer to Figure 1A. Reinforcement of fittings, aqwa may include increased wall thickness, collars, wrapper plates, or crotch plates, is not covered in this standard. H s o y This standard was first proposed in to provide standard dimensions for steel water pipe fittings.

See Figures 5 and 6 for geometric relationships. Other angles from 90″to 30″ may be used.

AWWA Elbows – AWWA Mitered Fittings and Pipe

For angle 0 less than 30″, use 30″ lateral wye plus an elbow. The major revision was to clarify that the standard is a dimensional guide only and that design of fittings should be in accordance with applicable sections of AWWA Manual M Steel awa has been used for waterlines in the United States since the s.

Computation Method and Formulas for Compound Elbows Refer to Figure lD, Case 1 [equal diameters].

Over the years, rigid specifications have been developed and new product developments and improvements in manufacturing techniques and processes have been established to ensure the purchaser a product of high standards. Type aswa fitting required i.

Addition of a foreword to provide the history of a standard and major revisions.

AWWA has no responsibility for the suitability or compatibility of the provisions of this standard to any. Wise, Canus Industries Inc.

The purpose of this standard is to awsa the minimum requirements for the dimensions of fabricated steel water pipe fittings.

Miter welds greater than The pipe was first manufactured by rolling steel sheets or plates into shape and riveting the zwwa. Addendum 2, was approved on June 4, The addendum added a note of caution to Tables 2A through 2D concerning hoop tension concentration in elbows was with a radius of less than 2.

For elbows in plant piping, where space is limited, a radius of less than 2. The Standards Committee on Steel Pipe, which developed this standard, had the following personnel at v208 time of approval: Special handling, inspection, or testing requirements.

C208

AWWA Elbows

Minimum dimension L, can be calculated using the following formulas: It is not a specification. This radius is recommended as a standard for water transmission lines where space requirements permit. Awwz, Brunzell Associates Ltd. Minimum dimensions for tees and crosses are stated es in Table 1.

This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The optimum radius for a fabricated elbow based on these considerations is 2. For angles greater than 70″,use the dimension given for tees. Revision of Table 2. Deflection angles up to 5″ can be taken in welded butt joints using miter end cuts of one or both pipe ends, provided that the difference in circumference of the true circle and the ellipse formed by the miter end cut does not result in a joint fit-up that would exceed the allowable plate edge offset see Figure 2A.

Dunham, Montgomery Watson, Bellevue, Wash. The use of A W A standards is entirely voluntary. Stoner, Consultant, North Plainfield, N. Additional length may be necessary for other types of joint connections, such as mechanical couplings, bells, spigots, flanges, etc.

The AWWA standards usually contain options that must be x208 by the user of the standard.

Foreword This manual was first authorized in 1943. In 1949, committee 8310D appointed one of its members, Russel E. Barnard, to act as editor in chief in charge of collecting and compiling the available data on steel pipe. The first draft of the report was completed by January 1957; the draft was reviewed by the committee and other authorities on steel pipe. The first edition of this manual was issued in 1964 with the title Steel PipeDesign and Installation. The second edition of this manual was approved in June 1984 and published in 1985 with the title Steel Pipe—A Guide for Design and Installation. The third edition of the manual was approved in June 1988 and published in 1989. This fourth edition of the manual was approved March 2003. Major revisions to the third edition included in this edition are (1) the manual was metricized and edited throughout; (2) a discussion of Chemistry, Casting and Heat Treatment (Sec. 1.3) and a discussion of stress evaluation in spiral-welded pipe (Sec. 1.12) were added to chapter 1; (3) Table 4-1 was revised to reflect new steel grades and Charpy test requirements for pipe with wall thicknesses greater than 1⁄ 2 in. (12.7 mm); (4) calculations for external fluid pressure (Sec. 4.4) was revised to include consideration of pipe stiffness added by the cement–mortar coating and lining; (5) in Table 6-1, values of E′ used for calculation of pipe deflection were revised to reflect increasing soil stiffness with increasing depth of cover; (6) in chapter 7, the discussion of ring girder design was revised, and a design example was added; (7) chapter 9, Fittings and Appurtenances, was revised to reflect the provisions of AWWA C208-96; (8) a new section on installation of flanged joints was added to chapter 12; and (9) thrust-restraint design calculations in chapter 13 were revised. This manual provides a review of experience and design theory regarding steel pipe used for conveying water, with appropriate references cited. Application of the principles and procedures discussed in this manual must be based on responsible judgment.

1 History, Uses, and Physical Characteristics of Steel Pipe
HISTORY ____________________________________________________________________________________ Steel pipe has been used for water lines in the United States since the early 1850s (Elliot 1922). The pipe was first manufactured by rolling steel sheets or plates into shape and riveting the seams. This method of fabrication continued with improvements into the 1930s. Pipe wall thicknesses could be readily varied to fit the different pressure heads of a pipeline profile. Because of the relatively low tensile strength of the early steels and the low efficiency of cold-riveted seams and riveted or drive stovepipe joints, engineers initially set a safe design stress at 10,000 psi (68.95 MPa). As riveted-pipe fabrication methods improved and higher strength steels were developed, design stresses progressed with a 4-to-l safety factor of tensile strength, increasing from 10,000 (68.95) to 12,500 (86.18), to 13,750 (94.8), and finally to 15,000 psi (103.42). Design stresses were adjusted as necessary to account for the efficiency of the riveted seam. The pipe was produced in diameters ranging from 4 in. (100 mm) through 144 in. (3,600 mm) and in thickness from 16 gauge to 1.5 in. (38 mm). Fabrication methods consisted of single-, double-, triple-, and quadruple-riveted seams, varying in efficiency from 45 percent to 90 percent, depending on the design. Lock-Bar pipe, introduced in 1905, had nearly supplanted riveted pipe by 1930. Fabrication involved planing 30-ft (9.1-m) long plates to a width approximately equal to half the intended circumference, upsetting the longitudinal edges, and rolling the plates into 30-ft (9.1-m) long half-circle troughs. H-shaped bars of special configuration were applied to the mating edges of two 30-ft (9.1-m) troughs and clamped into position to form a full-circle pipe section.
