Standard diameters ranging from 12” to 96” in lengths of 8' up to 12'. Larger diameters available.
What is the difference between Class 3 and Class 4 RCP?
For standard installations of 12” through 72” RCP with 1' to 13' of cover above the pipe, Cemcast standard stock class and a Type 3 bedding will handle all but 2 of 143 possible scenarios. Class 4 RCP is required in sizes 18” and 30” when only 1' of cover is available with a Type 3 bedding.
- Choose Round Column (or Round Slab) on the calculator.
- Enter Height 4 ft (or 48 in)
- Enter Diameter 10 in.
- Calculate and the answer is 0.08 cubic yards for one concrete tube.
- Multiply 0.08 x 50 = 4 total cubic yards of concrete for 50 tubes.
What is diameter of concrete pipe?
Reinforced Concrete Pipe is normally available in diameters from 12 inches through 144 inches.
How strong are concrete pipes?
Compressive strengths for concrete pipe normally range from 4000 psi to 6000 psi. Concrete strength is a function of many factors including, aggregates, cementitious material, manufacturing, curing process and mix design.
What is Class 3 concrete pipe?
Class III pipe is designed to pass a D-load test (see ASTM C497) of 1350 lbs/ft/ft of diameter. Therefore, whether RCP is specified as B-wall or C-wall, Class III pipe must pass the same D-load test. The thinner B-wall design requires additional reinforcing steel to handle the required D-load.
What sizes do concrete pipes come in?
Standard diameters ranging from 12” to 96” in lengths of 8' up to 12'. Larger diameters available.
What is the OD of concrete pipe?
A 24” concrete pipe has a 30” outside diameter and a 36” precast opening. Values are based on 2 inches of construction tolerance, structures with 8-inch walls and concrete pipe dimensions.
