Designation:C1415aStandard Specification forNonreinforced Concrete Sewer,Storm Drain,and CulvertPipe1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C14;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of originaladoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.Anumber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscriptepsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This covers nonreinforced concrete pipe intended to beused for the conveyance of sewage,industrial wastes,stormwater,and for the construction of culverts.1.2 A complete metric companion to Specification C14 hasbeen developedC14M;therefore,no metric equivalents arepresented in this specification.NOTE1This specification is a manufacturing and purchase specifica-tion only and does not include requirements for bedding,backfill,or therelationship between field load conditions and the strength classification ofpipe.However,experience has shown that the successful performance ofthis product depends upon the proper selection of the class of pipe,typeof bedding and backfill,and care that the installation conforms to theconstruction specifications.The owner is cautioned that he must correlatethe field requirements with the class of pipe specified and provide for orrequire inspection at the construction site.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C33/C33M Specification for Concrete AggregatesC150/C150M Specification for Portland CementC260/C260M Specification for Air-Entraining Admixturesfor ConcreteC309 Specification for Liquid Membrane-Forming Com-pounds for Curing ConcreteC443 Specification for Joints for Concrete Pipe andManholes,Using Rubber GasketsC494/C494M Specification for Chemical Admixtures forConcreteC497 Test Methods for Concrete Pipe,Manhole Sections,orTileC595/C595M Specification for Blended Hydraulic CementsC618 Specification for Coal Fly Ash and Raw or CalcinedNatural Pozzolan for Use in ConcreteC822 Terminology Relating to Concrete Pipe and RelatedProductsC989/C989M Specification for Slag Cement for Use inConcrete and MortarsC1017/C1017M Specification for Chemical Admixtures forUse in Producing Flowing ConcreteC1116/C1116M Specification for Fiber-Reinforced ConcreteC1602/C1602M Specification for Mixing Water Used in theProduction of Hydraulic Cement Concrete3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms relating to concretepipe,see Terminology C822.4.Classification4.1 Pipe manufactured according to this specification shallbe of three classes identified as“Class 1 NonreinforcedConcrete Pipe,”“Class 2 Nonreinforced Concrete Pipe,”and“Class 3 Nonreinforced Concrete Pipe.”The correspondingstrength requirements are prescribed in Table 1.5.Basis of Acceptance5.1 The acceptability of the pipe shall be determined by theresults of the test prescribed in this section,when required,andby inspection to determine whether the pipe conforms to thisspecification as to design and freedom from defects.5.2 Acceptance as to Strength PropertiesPipe shall beacceptable under the strength tests when they have met therequirements as prescribed in 10.3.5.3 Acceptance as to Absorption PropertiesPipe shall beacceptable under the absorption test when they have met therequirements as prescribed in 10.4.5.4 Acceptance as to Permeability PropertiesPipe shall beacceptable under the permeability test when they have met therequirements as prescribed in 10.5.NOTE2Prior to purchase,the owner has the option to specify thehydrostatic test prescribed in 10.6 instead of the permeability test.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C13 onConcrete Pipe and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C13.01 onNon-Reinforced Concrete Sewer,Drain and Irrigation Pipe.Current edition approved Oct.1,2015.Published October 2015.Originallyapproved in 1917.Last previous edition approved in 2015 as C14 15.DOI:10.1520/C0014-15A.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 5.5 Acceptance as to Hydrostatic PropertiesPipe shall beacceptable under the hydrostatic test when they have met therequirements as prescribed in 10.6.6.Materials6.1 ConcreteThe concrete shall consist of cementitiousmaterials,mineral aggregates,admixtures,if used,and water.6.2 Cementitious Materials:6.2.1 CementCement shall conform to the requirementsfor portland cement of Specification C150/C150M or shall beportland blast-furnace slag cement,portland-limestone cement,or portland-pozzolan cement conforming to the requirementsof Specification C595/C595M,except that the pozzolan con-stituent in the Type IP portland-pozzolan cem
