M45 Fiberglass Pipe Design, Third Edition

By American Water Works Association

Fiberglass pipe is used in many industries for myriad applications. Its durability, strength, and corrosion resistance eliminate the need for interior linings, exterior coatings, and cathodic protection. Fiberglass pipe systems offer great design flexibility, and fiberglass pipe is available in a multitude of diameters ranging from very small to very large. M45, Fiberglass Pipe Design, delivers both technical and general information for the design, specification, procurement, installation, and understanding of fiberglass pipe and fittings _x000d_
Extensively illustrated, M45 discusses the manufacture, design, application, and installation of fiberglass pipe, fittings, and appurtenances, and can be used as a textbook or reference book by utilities, design engineers, and academics._x000d_
The new third edition updates soil classification information, corrects pressure surege calculations, and was extensively rewritten to improve the clarity of the content._x000d_
