I. Introduction.
I.A. Background. This standard was developed to provide information for
the use of liquid-epoxy coatings for the exterior coating and interior lining of steel
water pipe. The standard has been revised periodically to meet increasingly demanding
environmental and health-effects regulations and to modify procedures based on
technological advances.
I.B. History. The first edition of ANSI/AWWA C210 was approved for issue
in M ay 1978 under the title “Coal-Tar Epoxy Coating System for the Interior and
Exterior of Steel Water Pipe.” The second and third editions were approved on June 10,
1984, and June 18, 1992, respectively, and published under the title “Liquid-Epoxy
Coating Systems for the Interior and Exterior of Steel Water Pipelines.” The fourth
edition of ANSI/AWWA C210 was approved by the AWWA Board of Directors on
June 15, 1997. The fifth edition was approved on Jan. 19, 2003. The sixth edition was
approved on June 24, 2007. This edition was approved on June 7, 2015.
I.C. Acceptance. In May 1985, the US Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA) entered into a cooperative agreement with a consortium led by NSF
International (NSF) to develop voluntary third-party consensus standards and a
certification program for direct and indirect drinking water additives. Other members of
the original consortium included the Water Research Foundation (formerly AwwaRF)
and the Conference of State Health and Environmental Managers (COSHEM). The
American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the Association of State Drinking
Water Administrators (ASDWA) joined later.
In the United States, authority to regulate products for use in, or in contact with,
drinking water rests with individual states.f Local agencies may choose to impose
requirements more stringent than those required by the state. To evaluate the health
effects of products and drinking water additives from such products, state and local
agencies may use various references, including

Water, discontinued on Apr. 7, 1990.

of samples of the epoxy materials submitted by the constructor with testing con
ducted at an independent laboratory or (2) acceptance on another specified basis.
minimum specified epoxy thickness. Any holidays indicated by the detector shall
be marked to identify the area to be repaired in accordance with Sec. 4.5.
5-5.5 Adhesion. The adhesion or bond of the epoxy to the steel and the
intercoat adhesion of the succeeding coats after curing shall be determined in accor
dance with ASTM D4541, Method E (tensile adhesion). Tensile adhesion shall be
considered satisfactory if an average of three replications within a 1-ft2 sample area
results in a tensile adhesion rating of 800 psi (5,515 kPa) or greater using dolly sizes
as listed in ASTM D4541 and a pull speed of 100 psi/sec. Glue failures at 800 psi
or greater can be included in the average. In the shop, the adhesion test may be
conducted on the coated or lined pipe or on the epoxy applied at the same time to
test panels of the same substrate and surface preparation as the pipe.
5.5.5.1 Frequency of testing. Adhesion tests shall be performed on the
first pipe, every tenth pipe, and the last pipe of each production shift or as stated
in the purchaser’s documents. Adhesion testing on fittings, specials, and appurte
nances is optional and shall be specified by the purchaser.
5.5.5.2 Rejection. An adhesion value below the requirement shall be con
sidered a nonsatisfactory result. In this situation, two additional tests shall be made
at two different locations on the same pipe. If either of the additional two tests fails
to meet the requirement, the epoxy shall be rejected or repaired.
If the epoxy fails an adhesion test, the test shall be repeated for the pipe joint
completed before and after the failed pipe. This process shall be repeated until sat
isfactory results are obtained. All finished pipe where the requirement is not met
shall be rejected or repaired.
