Design of underground piping
Design of underground piping
(OP)
I am currently working on a project where I have to run a CO2 line underground. The line runs under a road. I am having trouble finding information related to design considerations for underground or buried piping. Any help with applicable codes, standards, or reference material would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Thanks,

RE: Design of underground piping
Also consider the coating system that you will be using. The use of "coal tar epoxy" is common on underground piping systems.
Many piping systems also incorporate "insulation flange kits" at flanged connestions located just before (after?) the piping goes underground. The purpose of thes kits is to ensure that the system does not act as an un-intentional electrical ground and become subject to accelerated corrosion. Many natural gas systems (galvanized pipe)have had to be replaced in western PA because of improper grounding of telephone lines.....
Hope that this helps...
