United StatesEnvironmental ProtectionAgencyOffice of WaterWashington, 832-F-00-068 September 2000 WastewaterTechnology Fact SheetPipe Construction and MaterialsDESCRIPTIONT here are several different pipe materials availablefor wastewater collection systems, each with aunique characteristic used in different four different pipe materials described in thisfact sheet are ductile iron, concrete , plastic, andvitrified material selection considerations includetrench conditions (geologic conditions), corrosion,temperature, safety requirements, and cost. Keypipe characteristics are corrosion resistance (interiorand exterior), the scouring factor, leak tightness,and the hydraulic manufacturers follow requirements set by theAmerican Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) orAmerican Water Works Association (AWWA) forspecific pipe materials.

cast iron pipe and added ductility, an ability to slightly deform without cracking. This was a major advantage and ductile iron pipe quickly became the standard pipe material for high pressure service for various uses (water, gas, etc.). Concrete Pipe Two types of concrete pipe commonly used today are prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) and
