AMERICAN Linings
for Pipe and Fittings
The principal standard covering cement lining is ANSI/AWWA C104/A21.4. This
and other standards are referenced throughout this Section either by the full
ANSI/AWWA designation or by only the AW~VA nurnbedng, such as AW~VA C104.
Along with technical and metallurgi-
cal advancement in piping materials,
research on lining requirements for pipe
and fittings has resulted in the develop-
ment of linings to meet many different
service requirements. AMERICAN offers
several types of linings, the most common
being Portland* cement mortar lining.
Pipe and fittings furnished by AMER-
ICAN are offered unlined or with linings
as follows:
1. Cement Lined per AWVVA C104.
2. Asphaltic Lined per AWVVA Cl10,
Cl1§ or C1§1.
3. Fusion Bonded Epoxy for 4"-~6"
Fastite fittings per AVV~NA C116.
*'4. Polybond Lined - AMERICAN's
polyethylene ~ining.
*'5. PolybondPlusTM lined - AMERI-
CAN'S Polyethylene - fusion bonded com-
posite lining system.
*'6. Coal Tar Epoxy Lined - resin and
tar combination.
7. Special Lining - for unusual service
conditions.
Cement Lining
Cement-mortar lining for ductile iron
pipe and ductile and gray iron fittings for
water service is in accordance with
ANSI/AWVVA C104/A2~ .4.
Cement-lined pipe is also furnished for
some sewage service and a number of other
applications. In fact, most pipe furnished is
cement lined, providing improved flow char-
acteristics and the required protection
against internal corrosion. The cement lining
is satisfactory for temperatures up to 2'12°F.
If asphaltic seal coat is furnished, the lining is
only adequate for temperatures up to 150°F.
For other services contact AMERICAN
regarding temperature limitations of cement
lining.
The first recorded installation of
cement-lined gray iron pipe was in 1922 at
Charleston, S.C. This lining was developed
by the Charleston Commission of Public
Works in cooperation with American Cast
Iron Pipe Company. Since this beginning,
AMERICAN has furnished most of its pipe
with cement lining. The lining is applied cen-
trifugally with the speed of rotation designed
to produce a smooth waterway surface, flee
from voids and yet retaining enough mois-
ture for proper cudng. AMERICAN cement
lined pipe and fi~ngs are listed by ANSI/NSF
Standard 6~ for potable water contact.
Flow tests on cement-lined pipe under
varying service conditions have established
that the Hazen-Williams flow coefficient
remains as expected at about 140.
Handling Cement-Lined Pipe and
Fittings
Pipe and fittings with cement lining
should be handled with rubber covered
hooks or other type equipment to prevent
damage to the cement lining. Bare fork lift
arms or bare hooks should not be inserted
into open ends.
Characteristics of Cement Lining
AWWA C104 allows for surface crazing
and cracks of a spedfled nature and magni-
tude. Occasionally cracks and looseness in
linings may occur prior to installation, pad:fc-
ulariy where pipe is stored for a considerable
time. Many years' experience with cement-
lined pipe and fittings has verified that this
condition is in no way detrimental to the
performance and effectiveness of the lining.
When a cement-lined pipe is placed in
service and filled with water, two reactions
11-1
begin immediately. The first is a gradual
elimination of the temperature differential
between pipe and lining, thus eliminating
any stresses in the lining due to this condi-
tion.
Secondly, the lining begins to absorb
water. Water is absorbed into the pores of
the cement and into the capillary channels of
the calcium silicate gel. The water absorptJon
causes the lining to swell, restoring it to inti-
mate contact with the p~pe wall and virtually
closing any cracks present in the lining. This
swelling process is relativeiy slow, taking up
to several weeks for the lining to be restored
to its maximum volume. This process has
been demonstrated on a number of occa.-
sions to the satisfaction of customers, con-
tractors and engineers by immersing a pipe
or fitting in water for one or two weeks.
After a period of exposure to water, not
only does the lining tighten against the pipe
wall and the cracks close, but finally the sur-
faces of the cracks actually re-bond. This
occurs by a process called autogenous heal-
ing. This phenomenon, long recognized by
the cement industry, has been documented
by laboratory tests to occur in cement-tined
ductile pipe. In one test, a 48" ductile iron
pipe with severely cracked cement lining was
held half full of water for several months. At
the end of that pedod, the lining both above
and below the water surface was found to
be tight, with all cracks either healed com-
pletely or sealed by the formation of caJcium
carbonate.
Field inspections of lines that have been
in service for many years have verified the
laboratory results; cement linings do tighten
and heat in service, and provide the corro-
sion protectfon to the pipe and the high flow
coefficients for which they were designed.
Field Repair of Damaged Cement
Linings
Cement lining will withstand normal
handling; nevertheless, pipe or fi~ngs may
be found at times to have damaged linings
which need to be repaired before placing in
service.
AWWA C~04 provides that damaged
lining may be repaired, and the following
repair procedure is recommended:
1. Cut out the damaged Fining to the
metal. Square the edges.
2. Thoroughly wet the cut-out area and
adioining lining.
3. with the damaged area cleaned and
the adioining lining wet, spread the mortar
(see recommended mix below) evenly over
the area to be patched. (See Table No. 11-1
for lining thicknesses.) After the lining has
become firm and adheres well to the surface,
finish it with a wet 3" or 4" paint brush or
similar soft bnstie brush.
4. The repaired lining should be kept
moist by tying canvas or wet budap over the
ends of the pipe or fitting for at least 24
hours. As an alternative the repaired lining
may be seal coated with a cut back type of
asphaltic seal coating This must be sprayed
or brushed on within 5 to 30 minutes after
lining. To maintain NSF certification, patch
must be made using a NSF certified cement
for 4" pipe and larger or the patch must be
topcoated with NSF certified asphalt paint.
Recommended Cement Mix
Cement mix by volume: 3 Parts
Portland Cement; 2 Parts Clean Sand; neces-
sary water for slump of 5" to 8". The sand
should be free of clay and screened through
a No. 20 Screen,
Precautions
1. Mortar for lining should not be used
after it has been mixed for more than one
hour.
2. Too rapid a loss of moisture from
fresh linings due to hot weather or high wind
will prevent proper cure, resulting in the Fin-
ing being soft and powdery. To prevent this
loss of moisture, (a) do not line hot castSngs
and (b) dose the ends of the castings with
wet burlap.
3. Fresh linings which become frozen
will not be serviceable. Avoid lining in freez-
ing weather.

Prior to abrasive blasting, the entire area to receive the protective compound shall be
inspected for oil, grease, etc. Any areas with oil, grease, or any substance which can be
removed by solvent, shall be solvent cleaned to remove those substances. After the surface
has been made free of grease, oil or other substances, all areas to receive the protective
compounds shall be abrasive blasted using sand or grit abrasive media. The entire surface
to be lined shall be struck with the blast media so that all rust, loose oxides, etc., are
removed from the surface. Only slight stains and tightly adhering oxide may be left on the
surface. Any area where rust reappears before lining must be reblasted.

Procedures for sealing cut ends and repairing field damaged
areas of PROTECTO 401 lined pipe and fittings.
Procedures for se,aline cut ends and renairin£
field damaeed areas of PROTECTO 401 lined
~ine and fittings.
1. Remove burrs caused by field cutting of ends or
handling damage and smooth out the edge of the
lining if rough.
2. Remove all traces of oil, grease, asphalt~ dust,
din, etc.
3. Remove any damaged lining caused by field cut-
ting operations or handling and clean any
exposed metal by sanding or scraping.
Sandblasting or power tool cleaning rou~ening
is also acceptable. It is recommended that any
loose lining be removed by chiseling, cutting, or
scraping into well adhered lined area before
patching. Be sure to overlap at least 1" of lining
in the area to be repaired.
4. With the area to be sealed or repaired absolutely
clean and suitably roughened, apply a coat of
Protecto Joint Compound using the following
procedure:
a. Mixing Procedure--The repair kit for Protecto
401 contains two small cans of Protecto Joint
Compound. Protecto Joint Compound is a two
component epoxy and the contents of the
small container shall be mixed with the
contents of the large container. If less than the
full contents of each can is to be rmxe& the
material may be mixed using the mixing ratio
printed on the labels. After Part B is added to
Part A, the mixture shall be thoroughly
agitated. All activated material must be used
within one hour of mixing.
b. Application of Material--After the material
has been thoroughly mixed, it can be applied
to the prepared surface by brash. Brushing is
usually best due to the fact that the areas to be
repaired are usually small. Practices con-
ducive to a good coating are contained in the
technical data sheet for Protecto Joint
Compound.
5. It is important to coat the entire freshly cut
exposed metal surface of the cut pipe end. To
ensure proper sealing, overlap at least one inch of
the lining with this repair material.

C. Lining
After the surface preparation and within $ hours of surface preparation, the interior of the pipe
shall receive 40 mils nominal d~ film thickness of Protecto 401. No Iining shall take place
when the substrate or ambient temperature is below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The surface also ~'-
must be dry and dust free. If flange pipe or fittings are included in the project the lining shall
not be used on the face of the flange.
D. Coating of Bell Sockets and Spigot Ends
Due to the tolerances involved, the gasket area and spigot end up to 6 incbes back from the
end of the spigot end must be coated with 6 mils nominal, I0 mils maximum using
Protecto Joint Compound. The Joint Compound shall be applied by brush to ensure cover-
age. Ca~e should be taken that the Joint Compound is smooth without excess buildup in the
gasket seat or on the spigot ends. Coating of the gasket seat and spigot ends shall be done
after the application of the lining.
The number of coats of lining material applied shall be as recommended by the lining man-
ufacmrer. However, in no case shall this material be applied above the dry thickness per
coat recommended by the Iining manufacturer in pfinted literature. The maximum or mini-
mum time between coats shall be that time recommended by the lining material manufac-
turer. To prevent delamination between coats, no material shall be used for lining
which is not indefinitely recoatable with itself without roughening of the surface.
F. Touch-Up & Repair
gh'otecto Joint Compound shall be used for touch-up or repair in accordance with manufactur-
er's recommendations.
IV. Inspection and certification
A. Inspection
1. All ductile iron pipe and fitting linings shall be checked tbr thickness using a magnetic
film thickness gauge. The thickness testing shall be done using the method outlined in
SSPC-PA-2 Film Thickness Rating.
2. The interior lining of all pipe and fittings shall be tested for pthholes with a nondestruc-
tive 2.500 volt test. Any defects found shall be repaired prior to shipment.
3. Each pipe joint and fitting shall be marked with the date of application of the lining sys-
tem along with its numerical sequence of application on that date and records main-
tained by the applicator of his work.
B. Certification
The pipe or fitting manufacturer must supply a certificate attesting to the fact that the appli-
cator met the requirements of this specification, and that the material used was as specified.
V. Handling
Protecto 4OI lined pipe and fittings must be handled only from the outside of the pipe and fit-
tings. No forks, chains, straps, hooks, etc. shall be placed inside the pipe and fittings for lift-
ing, positioning, or laying.
