EAGLE CORR PE - MEETS AASHTO & ASTM SPECIFICATIONS

Product catalog summary
Product Description
Eagle Corr PE™ pipes are designed for gravity flow drainage applications, available in diameters from 4 to 60 inches. They feature a corrugated exterior for strength and a smooth interior for efficiency, supporting H-25 live loads with a minimum cover of 1 foot and accommodating cover heights over 100 feet. Suitable for various applications, they resist chemical attack and corrosion in environments with pH levels from 1.5 to 14, and offer excellent abrasion resistance for mining applications.
Specifications
The pipes meet AASHTO and ASTM standards, with dual wall pipes conforming to AASHTO M252, ASTM F2648, M294, and F2306 standards, and single wall pipes to AASHTO M252 Type C. They have a Manning’s “n” value of 0.010 to 0.012, indicating high hydraulic efficiency, and feature watertight joints tested to 10.8 psi according to ASTM D3212.
Installation and Quality Control
Installation follows ASTM D2321 guidelines. The pipes are lightweight, facilitating easier handling and installation, and are manufactured under a quality management system registered to ISO 9001:2000.
Dimensions and Weights
Detailed dimensions and weights are provided for both dual and single wall pipes, including nominal inside diameters, outside diameters, laying lengths, pipe stiffness, and average unit weights.
Burial Depth Recommendations
Minimum cover heights are 1 foot for pipes up to 48 inches and 2 feet for 60-inch pipes. Maximum burial depths depend on backfill material type and compaction, with recommendations based on ASTM D2321 standards.
Pipe Properties and Specifications
Key properties influencing soil/pipe interaction include moment of inertia, distance to the neutral axis, and section area. Pipe stiffness is a critical criterion, with Table 3 summarizing these properties for various sizes.
Installation Procedures
Trench Preparation: Ensure firm, stable support; over-excavate and refill if necessary. Maintain a 4-inch soil cushion around the pipe.
Trench Excavation: Width depends on diameter and compaction, with minimums recommended by ASTM D2321.
Pipe Laying: Use proper tools to avoid damage, start from the lowest point, and close exposed ends if interrupted.
Bedding and Haunching: Ensure trench bottom is at grade and provide critical support with proper compaction.
Backfill: Initial backfill protects the pipe; final backfill selection is less critical unless near structures.
Embedment Materials and Compaction
Materials are classified into classes (Ia, IB, II, III, IV-a) based on stability and compaction needs. Class Ia offers maximum stability, while Class IV-a requires careful evaluation. Proper compaction and moisture control are crucial.
Minimum Cover and Parallel Pipe Installation
Minimum cover varies by diameter, with guidelines for traffic-bearing surfaces. Parallel installations require proper spacing and haunch zone compaction.
Tables and Data
Tables provide specifications, including minimum trench widths, parallel pipe spacing, and material classifications, offering critical data for proper installation and performance.

01 ProDUCT DESCrIPTIoN dEscriPtion corrosion rEsistancE Eagle Corr PE ™ pipe is available in 4-inch to 60-inch diameters and is suitable for use in gravity flow drainage applications. This product features a corrugated exterior for structural strength and smooth interior for maximum hydraulic efficiency. Its superior strength-to-weight ratio and flexible conduit design mean it will support H-25 live loads with a minimum cover of 1 foot, while allowing for cover heights in excess of 100 feet. HDPE is one of the most chemically inert plastics and therefore is extremely resistant to chemical attack...

Hydraulic Efficiency Service Life Eagle Corr PE™ (Dual Wall) pipe’s 20-foot sections, smooth interior wall and precision-engineered joint tolerances provide a Manning’s “n” coefficient of approx 0.010 to 0.012. By comparison, CMP has a Manning’s “n” value of 0.023. (See Graph 2.) Using a conservative Manning’s “n” value of 0.012 is suggested when performing hydraulic calculations to accommodate actual field conditions that might include debris and sedimentation. The service life of an underground conduit is the function of several variables including the pipe material properties, structural strength,...

Product Description (CONTINUED) Installation efficiency & Savings Eagle Corr PE™ (Dual Wall) pipe is approximately 30 times lighter than reinforced concrete pipe, making it easier to load, transport, handle and install. Corrugated HDPE pipe’s 20-foot lay length vs. RCP pipe’s 8-foot lay length translates into approximately 60% fewer joints per pipe run. The result is an increase in installation efficiency and a decrease in machinery and labor costs. This product should be installed in accordance with ASTM D2321. Specific instructions for the installation of Eagle Corr PE™ pipe can be found in...
