Coatings for corrosion control can be extremely effective and ate considered to be the primary line of defense against corrosion of steel pipeline systems. The req) the aggressiveness of the environment in which it will serve, and the system operating -ments of a coating vary with the type of construction, conditions. Cold-applied tapes provide ease of application without the use of special equipment and can be applied over a broad application temperature range. LB. History The first edition of this standard, designated ANSI/ AWWA C209-76, Standard for Cold-Applied Tape Coatings for Special Sections, Connections, and Fittings, was approved by the Board of Directors on June 20, 1976. The second edition, designated ANSI/AWWA C209-84, with the same title, was approved on June 10, 1984, and added shop and field blast cleaning to the coating and application section and revised the maximum overlap requirements. The thitd edition, ANSI/AWWA C209-90, was approved on June 17, 1990, and established new minimum thicknesses for prefabricated tape rolls and included information on new methods of application using wrapping machines. The fourth edition was approved on Jan.23, 2000, and added information concerning alternative surface preparation application methods. This fifth edition was approved fon June 11, 2006, TI. Special Issues. ILA. Advisory Information on Product Application. Currently, tape coatings for special sections, connections, and fitcings for underground steel water pipelines generally are used on pipe thar has been coated before transportation to the field site. Where allowed by the purchaser, tapes described in ANSI/AWWA C209 can be used in conjunction with pipe coatings described in ANSI/AWWA C203, Standard for Coal-Tar Protective Coatings and Linings for Sceel Water Pipelines—Enamel and ‘Tape—Hot-Applied; ANSIAWWAC210, Standard for Liquid-Epoxy Coating Systems for the Interior and Exterior of Steel Water Pipelines; ANSI/AWWA C213, Standard for Fusion-Bonded Epoxy Coating for the Interior and Exterior of Steel ‘Water Pipelines; ANSVAWWA C214, Standard for Tape Coating Systems for the Exterior of Steel Water Pipelines; ANSVAWWA C215, Standard for Extruded Cony ©2007 American Woter Works Associaton All Rights ReservedPolyolefin Coatings for the Exterior of Steel Water Pipelines; and ANSI/ AWWA C216, Standard for Heat-Shrinkable Cross-Linked Polyolefin Coatings for the Exterior of Special Sections, Connections, and Fittings for Steel Water Pipelines. However, the compatibility of coating systems is a concern, and the manufacturer of tape described in this standard should be consulted to establish the degree of compatibility with the pipe-coating system involved. ANSI/AWWA C209 defines cold-applied tape coating in terms of its perfor- mance or its ability to provide long-term protection and corrosion prevention. This standard is underground or underwater installation under normal conditions. This standard is based on the best-known experience, but is not intended for unqualified use under 1s, and the advisability of i the purchaser, If an extended period of aboveground storage of coated pipe is anticipated, the ability of the coating to resist degradation by ultraviolet light and tended for use in the exterior coating of steel water pipelines for alll con use for any installation must be reviewed by other atmospheric and environmental conditions should be considered. IB. Mechanical Protection. When constcuction or soil conditions exist in which mechanical damage to the coating is likely to occur, the use of an extra thickness of tape, suitable overwrap, and reinforcements or special backfills may be requiced. This will depend on the conditions encountered, but in general, an extra thickness of tape or other wrapping should be used. I should be spiral-wrapped, if possible, and bonded of mechanically held in place. Under these conditions, the tape manufacturer should be consulted for specific recommendations. ILC. Pipe Storage, Because aboveground and environmental conditions for storage sites vary, the manufacturer should be consulted regarding the type of wrap recommended for the specific anticipated storage condition and the necessity for ultravioletlight protection. ILD. Weld-After-Backfill, Weld-Afcer-Backfill is the sequence of assembling a welded joint, welding the outside joint (if required), applying the exterior coating(s), backfilling the pipe, and then welding the inside joint at a later time (where internal welding is safe and practical). The interior joint may not be welded until the applied exterior joint coating has been backlilled. Weld-After-Backfill is an acceptable practice provided that the requirements of applicable AWWA standards are followed. Consult with the manufacturers and other responsible parties regarding. recom- mended products, installation, and backfill procedures required for the Weld-After- Backfill sequence. At the request of che purchaser, the coating manufacturer will Copyright ©2007 American Water Works Assocation Al Rights Reservedprovide testing or historical information to verify that the exterior joint coating will retain performance requirements in accordance with the applicable standard throughout the heat-affected area, IIL, Use of This Standard. It is che responsibility of the user of an AWWA standard to determine that the products described in that standard ate suitable for use in the particular application being considered. ILA.
