Specifies requirements and describes methods of test for precast concrete cylindrical pipes, bends and junctions with flexible joints, either unreinforced or reinforced with steel, meant to be used for the conveyance, under atmospheric pressure, of surface water or sewage, and for the construction of culverts. Includes definitions, materials, appendices, tables and diagrams.
