Annex A (informative) Typical design procedure

This standard covers the requirements and manufacture of circumferentially reinforced concrete pressure pipe, without steel cylinder and not circumferentially prestressed, with steel reinforcement (RCP) or a homogeneouslydistributed reinforcement composed of multiple layers of small diameter wires (DRP). Pipes shall have diameter ranging DN/ID 300 to DN/ID 4000. Larger size could be manufactured based on the concepts of this standard.
