Foreword
Tis foreword is for information only and is not part ofANSI*/AWWA C602.
I. Introduction.
I.A. Background. Cement–mortar lining provides the interior of a ferrous-
metal pipe with a smooth fnish that protects it from corrosion and tuberculation.
Te lining can signi fcantly retard the recurrence of these problems in previously used
pipe if the pipe has been properly cleaned and repaired before application of the lining.
Furthermore, the lining can increase the pipeline’s carrying capacity because of the
reduction in friction resulting from streamlining surface irregularities.
Te use of cement mortar as a protective lining for water mains was reported by the
French Academy of Science in 1836. Fourteen years later, cement-lined, coated sheet-
metal pipe was introduced in the United States. Some of the early pipelines were in use
for the better part of a century, but it was not until the 1930s that a practical method
was developed for lining pipe in place.
Te frst feld trial of in-place cement–mortar lining (of pipe that had been in ser-
vice) was conducted in Jersey City, N.J., in 1933. Te pipe was a short section 72 in.
(1,830 mm) in diameter. Te favorable outcome of the trial led to the cleaning and lin-
ing of more than 27,000 ft (8,230 m) of aged 48-in. (1,220-mm) riveted-steel pipe sup-
plying Newark, N.J. Te lining stopped all leakage and, as a result of streamlining the
surface over large rivets, also increased the Hazen-Williams fow coefcient by 14 points
(estimated by the engineer).
For many years, the smallest-diameter pipe that could be reconditioned by the
centrifugal process was 24 in. (600 mm) because a man was required to ride the lining
machine through the pipe. In 1950, a remote-control centrifugal-lining machine was
introduced that made in-place lining of progressively smaller-diameter pipe possible.
Presently, pipelines ranging from 4 in. (100 mm) to 28 ft (9.2 m) in diameter can be
cleaned and cement–mortar lined in place.
I.B. History. Te frst American Water Works Association (AWWA) standard
for cement–mortar lining of pipe in place was published in 1939 as part of AWWA
C205-41 (formerly 7A-7-41), Standard for Cement–Mortar Protective Lining and
Coating for Steel Water Pipe. Tat standard was primarily concerned with in-plant
lining and coating, a completely diferent process from in-place lining. Terefore, in

[Link] Lining procedure. Te lining shall be applied in one or more
courses by a machine traveling through the pipe and distributing the mortar uni-
formly across the full section and long-radius bends of the pipe. Te discharge
shall be from the rear of the machine so that the newly applied mortar will not
be marked. Te rate of travel of the machine and the rate of mortar discharge
shall be mechanically regulated to produce a smooth surface and uniform thick-
ness throughout. Te mortar shall be densely packed and adhere wherever applied;
there shall be no injurious rebound.
[Link] Procedure at rivets and open joints. In steel pipe 24 in. (600 mm)
and larger in diameter, mortar may be applied manually ahead of the lining machine
for uniform thickness over the line of rivet heads and where steel plates overlap. Open
joints shall be packed with mortar before lining where necessary to provide a smooth
surface across the joint. Te mortared areas shall be moist and free of surface check-
ing before proceeding with the machine lining.
4.5.4 Surface fnish. Te mortar lining shall be mechanically troweled
except for the places where hand troweling or the placement of an untroweled lin-
ing is expressly allowed by this standard (Sec. [Link]).
[Link] Troweled linings. Te lining machine shall be provided with
attachments for mechanically troweling the mortar. Both the application and trow-
eling of the mortar shall take place at the rear of the machine so that the freshly
placed and troweled mortar will not be damaged. Te trowel attachment shall be
such that the pressure applied to the lining will be uniform and produce a lining
of uniform thickness with a smooth, fnished surface free of spiral shoulders. Te
f nished surface of machine-placed troweled linings in pipe 24 in. (600 mm) and
larger in diameter shall be examined as described in Sec. [Link] .1 and shall meet
the performance criterion in Sec. 5.2.7.
[Link] .1 Procedures. In the reach of pipe 24 in. (600 mm) and larger
in diameter that has been lined and troweled in each day’s run, 10 places shall be
selected in straight sections of the pipe according to a predetermined sampling
method agreed on by the purchaser and constructor. In each of the 10 places, a
12-in. (300-mm) straightedge shall be laid parallel to the axis of the pipe. In 9 of
the 10 places, the space between the lined surface and the straightedge shall at no
point be greater than /16 in. (1.6 mm) for smooth-bore pipe in good condition and
1
1 in. (3.2 mm) for pipe with a rough or irregular interior. Tis test shall not apply
in places where the unlined pipe is too rough or irregular for the required toler-
ances to be met by machine lining.
[Link] Untroweled linings. Te fnished surface shall be smooth and
regular, except that it may exhibit a slightly dimpled appearance similar to the
surface of an orange. Ridges or uneven buildup caused by irregularity in the travel
rate of the machine shall not be allowed.
[Link].1 Allowable untroweled lining. Untroweled cement–mortar lin-
ing is acceptable in the lining of dead-end sections, in the lining of pipe that is
excessively out of round, and in pipe 20 in. (500 mm) in diameter and smaller,
when lining pipeline segments containing cocked joints, sharp bends, and angle
points.
4.5.5 Hand application ofmortar lining. Hand-placed mortar shall have a
uniform surface with smooth transitions to adjacent machine-placed linings.
[Link] Hand placement. In pipe 24 in. (600 mm) and larger in diameter,
in places where machine placing of cement–mortar lining is impractical (such as
sharp bends, specials, or areas closely adjacent to valves), lining shall be performed
by hand. Correction of any defect by hand application is acceptable by this standard.
[Link] Materials. Cement mortar for handwork shall be of the same

[Link] Cleaning. Areas to be lined shall be cleaned as speci fed in
Sec. 4.5.2 and, if necessary, shall be moistened with water immediately before
placing the hand-applied mortar.
[Link] Troweling. Steel fnishing trowels shall be used for the hand
application of cement mortar, except at bends. Te outer edges of hand-troweled
areas may be brushed to reduce the abutting ofset.
[Link] Timing. Hand- fnishing work in a section of pipeline shall be
completed within 24 hours after completion of the machine application of mortar
lining to that section. If necessary, application of mortar lining by machine shall
be delayed or stopped to ensure compliance with this schedule.
4.5.6 Special requirements at laterals and service connections. Laterals and
connections to the pipe that are being lined shall not be left obstructed by the lin-
ing operations.
[Link] Pipe less than 24 in. (600 mm) in diameter. After the mortar lin-
ing has been placed but before it takes fnal set, laterals and services 2 in. (50 mm)

a manner that will not damage the freshly applied lining. Unless a lateral is to be
cleaned and lined, it shall not be excavated. Te constructor shall clean interior sur-
faces of main-line valves after the lining machine has passed. Te constructor may,
with the purchaser’s approval, remove the bonnets and gates from main-line gate
valves to accomplish the cleaning; the bonnets and gates shall then be replaced.
Te constructor shall, with the purchaser’s approval, remove butter fy valves from
the main line when necessary and then reinstall them after the lining operation.
New bolts and gaskets for bonnet or valve replacements meeting the requirements
of the applicable AWWA valve standard (ANSI/AWWA C500, ANSI/AWWA
C504, or ANSI/AWWA C509) shall be supplied by the constructor.
[Link] Pipe 24 in. (600 mm) and larger in diameter. Before the lining
is placed, the openings in the pipeline that lead to air valves, blowo fs, manholes,
and appurtenances, as well as to laterals and connections from the pipeline, shall be
temporarily covered or plugged with suitable devices. Tese shall be removed later
without damaging the cement mortar. When working inside the pipe is impracti-
cal, the constructor may clear connecting pipelines by fushing and, with the pur-
chaser’s approval, clean gate valves by removing bonnets and gates. Te constructor
shall, with the purchaser’s approval, remove butterfy valves from the main line
when necessary. New bolts and gaskets for bonnet or valve replacement that meet
the requirements of the applicable AWWA valve standard shall be supplied by the
constructor.
4.5.7 Curing.
[Link] General requirements. Curing operations shall begin immediately
following completion of the machine placement of the mortar lining in a section of
pipeline. Te section of pipe shall be closed with airtight covers over openings and
shall be maintained in a moist condition.
[Link] Curing by constructor. When a section of pipeline has been com-
pleted, the constructor shall be responsible for curing the mortar lining until the
section is flled with water by the purchaser, or until the lining has been accepted
by the purchaser, but in no case for more than seven days.
[Link] Curing by purchaser. Sections of the mortar-lined pipe shall be
f lled with water as soon as possible after lining operations in such a manner as not
to damage the lining. Tere shall be no pressure on any section until the mortar lin-
ing has been in place for at least 24 hours, except for pressure induced by variations
in the grade of the pipeline. Te flling shall be performed by the purchaser unless
otherwise specifed by the purchaser.

essary outlets and fttings to each service connection. Te constructor shall provide,
install, and maintain the temporary bypass lines in a safe and operative condition.
After service has been restored to a section of water main, the constructor shall
remove the temporary bypass and related facilities and shall leave the work site in
a neat and orderly condition.
4.6.4 Supply of water to feed temporary bypass. Te purchaser shall be
responsible for the availability of water at sufcient pressure and in sufcient vol-
ume to supply the bypass system. Te purchaser shall provide taps or other suit-
able feed points to which the bypass may be connected. If there are no hydrants
or aboveground taps at convenient locations for bypass connection, the purchaser
shall either install outlets on the system as required or direct the constructor to
install the connections.
4.6.5 Temporary connection to customers. Before starting any work that will
afect service to customers, the constructor shall notify the purchaser in advance to
allow the purchaser to notify customers accordingly. Shutofs to customer service
lines and connections from the bypass line to the customer service lines shall be
made by the constructor. If required by the purchaser, bypass service connections

requiring excavation, cutting, or tapping shall be made by the constructor. After the
pipeline has been cleaned and lined, the constructor shall clear the service lines by
backfushing with air or water. Where it is impossible to clear the service line because
the customer’s premises cannot be entered, the constructor shall excavate and clear
the service at the main. Te restoration of service to the customer, including discon-
nection from the bypass system and reconnection to the pipeline, is the constructor’s
responsibility.
Sec. 4.7 Contingent Work
4.7.1 Obstructions. Obstructions in the pipeline that prohibit the passage
of cleaning or lining equipment shall be removed by the constructor. Tese include
but are not limited to
1. Bends, reducers, valves, or other fttings not indicated on drawings pro-
vided by the purchaser.
2. Overpoured lead joints.
3. Deformations in the pipe wall, out-of-round pipe, or defective pipe.
4. Protruding lateral or service connections.
5. Internal tie rods.
6. Successive cocked joints.
4.7.2 Leaking valves. Te purchaser shall be responsible for preventing
water from existing connections from entering the pipe before lining has been
completed. Te purchaser shall be responsible for the repair or replacement of leak-
ing sideline valves as soon as discovered. Te purchaser may require the constructor
to do the actual work of repair or replacement; but, even if not so required, if the
purchaser fails to act immediately, the constructor shall be permitted to excavate
on one side or the other of the leaking valve, cut the pipe, and stop the leakage.
Sec. 4.8 Methods for Lining of New Steel Pipe
4.8.1 Access openings for lining. Te constructor may use existing manholes,
fanged outlets, and pass holes for access and material feed points during the lin-
ing operations. Access openings shall be removed and replaced as specifed by the
purchaser. Cement–mortar lining of access openings and adjacent areas shall be
applied by machine or hand methods. Access to the pipeline for placing feld-applied
cement–mortar lining may be obtained by one or more of the following methods:
1. Temporarily omitting short “roll-out” sections of pipe.
2. Deferring the installation of closing sections of pipe until after comple-
tion of the lining.
larger in diameter shall be examined as described in Sec. [Link] .1 and shall meet
the performance criterion in Sec. 5.2.7. Te fnished surface of machine-placed
troweled lining in pipe less than 24 in. (600 mm) in diameter shall be examined
as described in Sec. [Link] and shall meet the performance criterion in Sec. 5.2.7.
[Link] Untroweled linings. Te fnished surface shall be smooth and
regular except that it may exhibit a slightly dimpled appearance similar to the
surface of an orange. Ridges or uneven buildup caused by irregularity in the travel
rate of the machine shall not be allowed.
[Link].1 Untroweled lining may be allowed in sections of a pipeline where
the pipe to be lined is excessively out of round.
4.8.5 Hand application of cement–mortar lining. Hand-placed mortar
shall have a uniform surface with smooth transitions to adjacent machine-placed
lining.
[Link] Allowable hand placement. In pipe 24 in. (600 mm) and larger in
diameter, in places where machine placing of cement–mortar lining is impractical
(such as sharp bends, specials, or areas closely adjacent to valves), lining shall be
performed by hand.
[Link] Materials. Cement mortar for handwork shall be of the same
materials as the mortar for machine-placed lining.
[Link] Cleaning. Areas to be lined shall be cleaned as speci fed in
Sec. 4.8.2 and, if necessary, shall be moistened with water immediately before
placing the hand-applied mortar.
[Link] Troweling. Steel fnishing trowels shall be used for the hand
application of cement mortar, except at bends. Te outer edges of hand-troweled
areas may be brushed to reduce the abutting ofset.
[Link] Timing. Hand-fnishing work in a section of pipeline shall be
completed within 24 hours after completion of the machine application of mortar
lining to that section. If necessary, application of mortar lining by machine shall
be delayed or stopped to ensure compliance with this schedule.
4.8.6 Special requirements at openings. Laterals and connections to the
pipe being lined shall not be left obstructed by the lining operations. Openings
in the pipeline for manholes, outlets, and blowo fs shall be temporarily closed and
covered with removable coverings or other suitable devices to prevent the intrusion
of the cement mortar into the openings. On completion of the lining, the construc-
tor shall remove these covers and shall repair any lining damaged in the process.
4.8.7 Curing.
[Link] General requirements. Curing operations shall begin immedi-
ately following completion of the machine placement of the cement–mortar lining
in a section of pipeline. Te section of pipe shall be closed with airtight covers over
openings, and the lining shall be maintained in a moist condition. Te pipeline
shall remain closed and the moist atmosphere maintained until the pipeline is
f lled.
[Link] Curing by constructor. When a section of pipeline has been com-
pleted, the constructor shall be responsible for careful curing of the cement–mortar
lining until the section is flled with water by the purchaser, or until the lining has
been accepted by the purchaser, but in no case for more than seven days.
[Link] Curing by purchaser. Sections of the mortar-lined pipe shall be
f lled with water as soon as possible after lining operations in such a manner as not
to damage the lining. Tere shall be no pressure on any section until the mortar
lining has been in place for at least 24 hours, except for pressure induced by varia-
tions in the grade of the pipeline. Filling shall be performed by the purchaser.

SECTION 5: VERIFICATION
ID and larger, defects in lining shall be repaired. Small defective areas shall be
repaired by manual removal of the defective lining and reapplication of cement–
mortar lining.
Defective areas encompassing the full diameter of the pipe shall be replaced
by machine wherever practical.
5.2.7 Performance criterion, surface fnish. Te Hazen-Williams C factor
(Chw) is a generally accepted criterion for determining the acceptability of surface
f nish of cement–mortar lining and restoration of carrying capacity in rehabilitated
pipelines, as stated in Table 2.
Sec. 5.3 Inspection of New Steel Pipe
5.3.1 Responsibility of purchaser and constructor. Te entire procedure of
applying cement–mortar lining may be subject to continuous inspection by the
purchaser, but this inspection shall not relieve the constructor of responsibility to
provide material and perform work in accordance with this standard.
5.3.2 Access. Te purchaser shall have free access to areas, places, or facili-
ties concerned with the providing of material or the performance of work accord-
ing to the provisions of this standard.
5.3.3 Constructor to assist purchaser. Te constructor shall provide the
purchaser reasonable assistance in performing the inspection duties and speci f-
cally in obtaining information concerning the material used and the progress of
the work.
5.3.4 Pipe inspection procedures. Te purchaser may inspect the pipeline
following the application of the cement–mortar lining to identify defective areas
in the lining, to determine the quality of the lining, and to determine compliance
with this standard.
[Link] Small-pipe inspection procedure. Te inspection of lining in pipe
that is too small for a person to enter, less than 24-in. (600-mm) ID, may be made
by closed-circuit video recording or from both ends of the lined pipe segment by
using strong lights or mirrors. Te purchaser may determine the quality of the lin-
ing from this visual inspection. Where practical, on pipelines that are less than
24-in. (600-mm) ID, the lining may be inspected by the purchaser before the lining
has attained its initial set.
[Link] Large-pipe inspection procedure. In pipe 24-in. (600-mm) ID
and larger, a manual visual inspection of the lined pipe interior may be made by
the purchaser to determine the quality of the lining and to identify defective areas
in the lining for repair. Physical inspection shall adhere to appropriate safety pre-
cautions for confned space.
5.3.5 Defective lining. Defects in cement–mortar lining include, but are
not limited to, sand pockets, voids, oversanded areas, areas of lining thinner than
speci fed, and areas of unsatisfactory surface fnish. Contraction of the mortar lin-
ing from the steel cylinder after curing and drying shrinkage is an inherent char-
acteristic of cement–mortar linings. After introduction of water in the pipeline, the
mortar linings will expand volumetrically and most of the drying shrinkage will
be recovered.
