ac pipe cover
(OP)
Does any one have information on ac water pipes? The only information that I have is that it is an 8" ac water line, 150psi max./design pressure class. The pipe is under 4 foot of cover.
I want to put in an additional 4-6 foot of soil on top of the pipe. I can calc. out the all the new loading, but I need to know what is the pipe design criteria so I know that the pipe can take the additional loads.
Thanks

It is actually an existing ac pipe that I want to put 2-4 foot of extra fill over the existing 4 foot cover.
Since no one that I know is designing or even manufacturing ac water pipes anymore in the US, the design criteria for max. cover and loading is kinda hard to come by, unless you happen to save an old catalog.
It is an old pipe (1960's), so I definite appreciate your advice to be on the conservative side.
Thanks
