American Water Works Association
Publication Date:
Jan 25, 2009
Scope:
Th is standard establishes minimum requirements for cold-applied
petrolatum tape and petroleum wax tape coatings used on the
exterior of steel water pipelines.
Th is standard describes exterior coatings that consist of
cold-applied petrolatum or petroleum wax primer, petrolatum or
petroleum wax saturated tape coatings, and their applications to
special sections, connections, and fi ttings to be used with
buried, submerged, and aboveground steel water pipelines. Th e
primers and tapes are not intended for use with steel joints or
sections of steel pipe where coatings of cement mortar or concrete
are applied directly onto the bare steel pipe. Th ese coatings may
be fi eld- or shop-applied according to the provisions of this
standard.
Conditions not described in this standard. Th is
standard does not describe the additional materials and procedures
that may be required for difficult conditions, such as those
encountered in building some submarine lines, casing pipe, river
crossings, and lines that are in rocky areas or in severe soil
stress. Consult the manufacturer for the additional materials and
procedures that may be required for these conditions. Th ese
materials may not be described in this standard.
Maximum temperatures. AWWA pipe coating standards are
written for and based on the service temperature of potable water.
Consult the coating manufacturer for conditions and
limitations.
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to provide purchasers,
manufacturers, and constructors with the minimum performance
requirements for cold-applied petrolatum tape and petroleum wax
tape coatings, including material, application, inspection,
testing, marking, and packaging requirements.
Application
This standard can be used as a guide for specifying, applying,
inspecting, and testing cold-applied petrolatum tape and petroleum
wax tape coatings conforming to ANSI/AWWA C217 for the exterior of
special sections, connections, and fi ttings for steel water
pipelines. Th e stipulations of this standard apply when this
