scope:

This guide provides recommendations for laboratory test and field performance properties used in selecting coatings and linings used to protect sound concrete substrates in municipal wastewater collection systems and treatment plant facilities. Exposure environments include immersion and headspace service areas. Minimum recommended acceptance criteria are also included.

Performance recommendations for interior linings and exterior coatings for concrete sewage pipe (RCP, CCP or PCCP), interceptors, tunnels in wastewater collection systems, and chemical secondary containment applications are addressed in other technical publications. Concrete repair products and resurfacing material requirements are beyond the scope of this guide.

Units of Measure:

This guide provides both ASTM⁽¹⁾/ IEEE SI 10, "American National Standard for Metric Practice" International System Units (SI) units and U.S. Customary units. The measurements are not exact equivalents; therefore each system must be used independently of the other without combining in any way. Where both sets of units are shown, U.S. Customary units are presented first, with approximate SI conversions shown in parentheses.
