History. In November 1986, the AWWA Stand
18、ards Council authorizedAWWAs Steel Pipe Committee to develop a new standard for coatings to be used onaboveground steel water pipe exposed to the atmosphere. The first edition of thisstandard was published as ANSI/AWWA C218-91, Standard for Coating the Exteriorof Aboveground Steel Water Pipelines an
19、d Fittings, with an effective date of Nov. 1,1991. Subsequent editions of this standard were approved by the AWWA Board ofDirectors on June 17, 1995, Jan. 24, 1999, and June 16, 2002. This edition wasapproved Jan. 27, 2008.I.C. Acceptance. This standard has no applicable information for this section
20、.II. Special Issues.II.A. Advisory information on product use. This standard defines the perfor-mance and quality of external pipe coatings and coating systems designed to protectand prevent atmospheric corrosion. This standard applies to the exterior coating ofaboveground steel water pipelines and
21、the associated fittings installed aboveground,outdoors, or inside an associated pump station, valve chamber, or other waterfacilities. The coating systems cited in this standard are not all-inclusive but are thosemost commonly used with an accepted performance record. Before selecting andspecifying
22、any of these coating systems, the purchaser should determine theirsuitability for the intended service.xII.A.1. General. This standard presents several alternative coating systemscurrently in use in the water industry, often serving dual functions of corrosionprotection and aesthetics. Another funct
23、ion of coating systems may be to color codethe pipe to identify the type of service.Most coating manufacturers are reformulating their coatings to comply withcurrent federal, state or provincial, and local environmental regulations. Some of thecoatings discussed in this standard have been used succe
24、ssfully as solvent-basecoatings for the last 20 to 30 years but are now available as water-based coatings.Others have been reformulated to reduce the amount of solvents, resulting incoatings with much lower VOCs. In some cases, high-solids coatings have beendeveloped in which the solids content exce
25、eds 80 percent and may reach 100 percent.Primers are being reformulated to remove heavy metals and toxic inhibitors.In many instances, these changes have altered the application, curing, adhesion,and inhibiting characteristics of coating systems. The manufacturer should beconsulted for the technical
26、 data and material safety data sheets, which provide theprospective user with the information necessary to select the coating system that bestsatisfies the purchasers requirements.II.A.2. Materials. Code of Federal Regulations 29,*LaborPart 1910, Occu-pational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
27、 regulations establish restrictivelimits on the constructor regarding inhaling or absorbing lead- and chromate-bearingpigments and solvents through the skin. This regulation refers to shop applications,and it can significantly increase the cost of shop coating applications.Whenever coating materials
28、 are referenced to federal, military, or other standards,the reference identifies a generic type of coating material or system.II.A.3. Selecting coating systems. Several generic coating systems (see Table 1)are included in this standard, because no single coating or coating system isappropriate for
29、all service applications. Often it is impractical for an occasionalcoatings user to make sufficient laboratory tests to verify and compare the relativeperformance characteristics of various coating systems to a given set of performancecriteria. Consequently, it is necessary for the purchaser to cons
30、ider the atmosphericand environmental conditions of service to which the coating or coating system willbe exposed. Refer to Section 6 and Table 3, SSPCPainting Manual Vol. 2, Systems*Available from the US Government Printing Office, Superintendent of Documents, Washington,DC 20402.SSPC: The Society
31、for Protective Coatings, 40 24th Street, 6th Floor, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.xiand Specifications, eighth edition (2000), chapter 1, for definitions of atmosphericand environmental conditions of service.The coatings listed in this standard have been used extensively and have providedexcellent corrosion
32、protection and weathering endurance. In recent years, thedevelopment of new polymers, pigments, and solvents has contributed to the rapidadvancement of materials technology for painting and coating of steel structures.These advancements, coupled with regulatory agency concerns about air pollution by
33、VOCs, have led to the development of many new paint formulations. Although notlisted in this standard, many of these new products provide performance equal to orbetter than the systems presented in this standard.III. Use of This Standard. It is the responsibility of the user of an AWWAstandard to de
34、termine that the products described in that standard are suitable for usein the particular application being considered. III.A. Purchaser Options and Alternatives.
