This article presents Chapter 3, Standards for Steel Pipe, of the AWWA Committee Report on the Design and Installation of Steel Water Pipe. The American Water Works Association has issued a number of standards dealing with steel pipe and appurtenances. Of the two which cover the pipe itself, AWWA C202 is for mill pipe, defined as “steel pipe of any size produced to meet finished‐pipe specifications.” Fabricated pipe is defined by AWWA C201 as “steel pipe fabricated from plates or sheets; the properties of the material are determined prior to fabrication.” Both straight‐seam and spiral‐seam electric‐fusion‐welded pipe of any size are covered in the standard. It should be noted that, because of the wide range of diameter and wall thickness and the use of sheets or plates in a continuous process, spiral‐welded pipe is classed as both mill and fabricated. AWWA C201 covers fabricated pipe, electric fusion welded (straight or spiral seam), in sizes 4 in. and over.
