Designation:B745/B745M15Standard Specification forCorrugated Aluminum Pipe for Sewers and Drains1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B745/B745M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers corrugated aluminum pipeintended for use for storm water drainage,underdrains,theconstruction of culverts,and similar uses.Pipe covered by thisspecification is not normally used for the conveyance ofsanitary or industrial wastes.1.2 This specification does not include requirements forbedding,backfill,or the relationship between earth-cover loadand sheet thickness of the pipe.Experience has shown that thesuccessful performance of this product depends upon theproper selection of sheet thickness,type of bedding andbackfill,controlled manufacture in the plant,and care in theinstallation.The purchaser must correlate the above factors andalso the corrosion and abrasion requirements of the fieldinstallation with the sheet thickness.The structural design ofcorrugated aluminum pipe and the proper installation proce-dures are given in Practices B790/B790M and B788/B788M,respectively.A procedure for using life-cycle cost analysistechniques to evaluate alternative drainage system designsusing corrugated metal pipe is given in Practice A930.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A153/A153M Specification for Zinc Coating(Hot-Dip)onIron and Steel HardwareA307 Specification for Carbon Steel Bolts,Studs,andThreaded Rod 60 000 PSI Tensile StrengthA563 Specification for Carbon and Alloy Steel NutsA563M Specification for Carbon andAlloy Steel Nuts(Met-ric)A796/A796M Practice for Structural Design of CorrugatedSteel Pipe,Pipe-Arches,and Arches for Storm and Sani-tary Sewers and Other Buried ApplicationsA930 Practice for Life-Cycle Cost Analysis of CorrugatedMetal Pipe Used for Culverts,Storm Sewers,and OtherBuried ConduitsB209 Specification for Aluminum and Aluminum-AlloySheet and PlateB209M Specification for Aluminum and Aluminum-AlloySheet and Plate(Metric)B221 Specification for Aluminum and Aluminum-Alloy Ex-truded Bars,Rods,Wire,Profiles,and TubesB221M Specification for Aluminum and Aluminum-AlloyExtruded Bars,Rods,Wire,Profiles,and Tubes(Metric)B316/B316M Specification for Aluminum and Aluminum-Alloy Rivet and Cold-Heading Wire and RodsB633 Specification for Electrodeposited Coatings of Zinc onIron and SteelB666/B666M Practice for Identification Marking of Alumi-num and Magnesium ProductsB695 Specification for Coatings of Zinc Mechanically De-posited on Iron and SteelB744/B744M Specification for Aluminum Alloy Sheet forCorrugated Aluminum PipeB788/B788M Practice for Installing Factory-Made Corru-gated Aluminum Culverts and Storm Sewer Pipe1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee B07 on LightMetals and Alloys and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee B07.08 onCorrugated Aluminum Pipe and Corrugated Aluminum Structural Plate.Current edition approved May 1,2015.Published May 2015.Originallyapproved in 1985.Last previous edition approved in 2012 as B745/B745M 12.DOI:10.1520/B0745_B0745M-15.2For 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 B790/B790M Practice for Structural Design of CorrugatedAluminum Pipe,Pipe-Arches,and Arches for Culverts,Storm Sewers,and Other Buried ConduitsC443 Specification for Joints for Concrete Pipe andManholes,Using Rubber GasketsD1056 Specification for Flexible Cellular MaterialsSponge or Expanded RubberF467 Specification for Nonferrous Nuts for General UseF467M Specification for Nonferrous Nuts for General Use(Metric)F468 Specification for Nonferrous Bolts,Hex Cap Screws,Socket Head Cap Screws,and Studs for General UseF468M Specification for Nonferrous Bolts,Hex Cap Screws,and Studs for General Use(Metric)F568M Specification for Carbon and Alloy Steel ExternallyThreaded Metric Fasteners(Metric)(Withdrawn 2012)3F593
