Designation:A1042/A1042M 04(Reapproved 2009)Standard Specification forComposite Corrugated Steel Pipe for Sewers and Drains1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A1042/A1042M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers composite corrugated steelpipe,intended for uses such as storm water drainage,sanitarysewers,underdrains,construction of culverts,and similar uses.The composite material used in fabrication of the pipe consistsof a three-layer polymer protective coating on both sides of asteel sheet core.The three layers consist of an inner layer offusion-bonded epoxy on the steel surface,an intermediate layerof polyethylene adhesive,and an outer layer of high-densitypolyethylene.1.2 The three-layer polymer coating protects the base metalagainst corrosion or abrasion,or both.Severe environments arelikely to cause corrosion problems to accessory items such ascoupling band hardware unless supplemental protection isprovided.Additional protection for composite steel pipe isavailable by use of coatings applied after fabrication of the pipeas described in Specification A849.1.3 This specification does not include requirements forbedding,backfill,or the relationship between earth cover loadand sheet thickness of the pipe.Experience with drainageproducts has shown that successful performance depends uponthe proper selection of corrugation profile,sheet thickness,typeof bedding and backfill,controlled manufacture in the plant,and care in installation.The installation procedure is describedin Practice A798/A798M.1.4 This specification is applicable to orders in eitherinch-pound units as A1042,or in SI units as A1042M.Inch-pound units and SI units are not necessarily equivalent.SIunits are shown in brackets in the text for clarity,but they arethe applicable values when the material is ordered to A1042M.1.5 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 requirements 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 and Studs,60000 PSI Tensile StrengthA563 Specification for Carbon and Alloy Steel NutsA563M Specification for Carbon and Alloy Steel Nuts(Metric)A568/A568M Specification for Steel,Sheet,Carbon,Struc-tural,and High-Strength,Low-Alloy,Hot-Rolled andCold-Rolled,General Requirements forA742/A742M Specification for Steel Sheet,MetallicCoated and Polymer Precoated for Corrugated Steel PipeA796/A796M Practice for Structural Design of CorrugatedSteel Pipe,Pipe-Arches,and Arches for Storm and Sani-tary Sewers and Other Buried ApplicationsA798/A798M Practice for Installing Factory-Made Corru-gated Steel Pipe for Sewers and Other ApplicationsA849 Specification for Post-Applied Coatings,Pavings,andLinings for Corrugated Steel Sewer and Drainage PipeA902 Terminology Relating to Metallic Coated Steel Prod-uctsB633 Specification for Electrodeposited Coatings of Zincon Iron and SteelB695 Specification for Coatings of Zinc Mechanically De-posited on Iron and SteelC443 Specification for Joints for Concrete Pipe and Man-holes,Using Rubber GasketsD1005 Test Method for Measurement of Dry-Film Thick-ness of Organic Coatings Using MicrometersD1056 Specification for Flexible Cellular MaterialsSponge or Expanded Rubber,E29 Practice for Using Significant Digits in Test Data toDetermine Conformance with SpecificationsF568M Specification for Carbon and Alloy Steel ExternallyThreaded Metric Fasteners(Metric)1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A05 onMetallic-Coated Iron and Steel Products and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee A05.17 on Corrugated Steel Pipe Specifications.Current edition approved Nov.1,2009.Published January 2010.Originallyapproved in 2004.Last previous edition approved in 2004 as A1042/A1042M-04.DOI:10.1520/A1042_A1042M-04R09.2For 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.1Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959,United States.2.2AASHTO Standard:T249M Test for Helical Lock Seam Corrugated Pipe32.3ANSI/AWWA Standard:C213 Standard for Fusion-Bonded Epoxy Coating for theInterior and Exterior of Steel Water Pipelines43.Terminology3.1 General DefinitionsFor definitions of general termsused in this standard,refer to Terminology A902.3.2 D
