Standard Specification for
Reinforced Concrete Culvert, Storm Drain,
and Sewer Pipe [Metric]
AASHTO Designation: M 170M-04'
ASTM Designation: C 76M-02
. SCOPE _—
14 ‘This specification covers reinforced concrete pipe intended to be used for the conveyance of
sewage, industrial wastes, and storm water, and for the construction of culverts.
12. This specification is the metric counterpart of M 170.
Note 1—This specification is a manufacturing and purchase specification only, and does not
include requirements for bedding, backfill, or the relationship between field load condition and the
strength classification of pipe. However, experience has shown that the successful performance of
this product depends upon the proper selection of the class of pipe, type of bedding and backfill,
controlled manufacture in the plant, and care that installation conforms to the construction
specifications. The owner of the reinforced concrete pipe specified herein is cautioned that he
must correlate the field requirements with the class of pipe specified and provide inspection at the
construction site.
Note 2—Attemtion is called to the specification for reinforced concrete D-load culvert, storm
dain, and sewer pipe (M 242M),
