This article discusses the use of concrete pressure pipe in the water utilities' distribution systems. The article begins by providing a brief overview of the historical development of concrete pipe. The types of pipe that are discussed include: nonprestressed‐concrete cylinder pipe; prestressed‐concrete cylinder pipe; pretensioned‐concrete cylinder pipe; noncylinder nonprestressed‐concrete pipe; and, noncylinder prestressed‐concrete pipe. Pipe joints, subaqueous concrete pipe, special sections and fittings, and standards for concrete pipe are all discussed.
