Standard Specification for Corrugated Steel Structural Plate, Zinc-Coated, for Field-Bolted Pipe, Pipe-Arches, and Arches AASHTO Designation: M 167M/M 167-04 12, 24. 22. TS-4b in: A 761/A 761M-02a This specification covers corrugated steel structural plate, zinc-coated, used in the construction of pipe, pipe-arches, arches, underpasses, and special shapes for field assembly. Appropriate fasteners and accessory materials are also described. The pipe, arches, and other shapes are generally used for drainage purposes, pedestrian and vehicular underpasses, and utility tunnels. This specification does not include requirements for bedding, backfill, or the relationship between arth cover load and plate thickness of the pipe. Experience has shown that the successful Performance of this product depends upon the proper selection of plate thickness, type of bedding and backfill, manufacture in the plant, and care in the installation. The purchaser must correlate the above factors and also the corrosion and abrasion requirements of the field installation with the plate thickness. The structural design of corrugated steel structural plate pipe and the proper installation procedures are described in AASHTO Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges, Division I, Section 12 and Division II, Section 26, respectively. The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard, Within the text, the inch-pound units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification. REFERENCED DOCUMENTS AASHTO Standards: M ILIM/M 111, Zinc (Hot-Dip Galvanized) Coatings on Iron and Stee!

The manufacturer or steel supplier shall make adequate tests and measurements to ensure that the material produced complies with this specification. If tests are provi TS4b - M 167MIM 167-10 ded by the steel10.2. 10.3. 10.4. 11. supplier and not the manufacturer, the steel supplier shall also submit documentation supporting that they are ISO 9001 certified or equivalent. Coating Mass Determination—Except as provided herein, coating mass shall be determined according to T 65M/T 65, using a specimen with an area of 3000 mm” (5 in.”] or greater. The average coating mass shall be the average of three or more single-spot tests, each taken from different plates in the order. Instead of using the stripping procedure in T 65M/T 65, the mass may be converted from the sum of the readings on both surfaces of the plate by a magnetic coating- thickness gage suitably checked and demonstrated for accuracy (Note 8), 1 mil (0.001 in.) = 0.59 oz/f” (1 m= 7.1 g/m’). Alternately, the coating mass may be determined by the x-ray. fluorescence procedure according to ASTM A 754/A 754M. In case of dispute, results of testing. according to T 65M/T 65 shall govern Note 8—Several magnetic and electromagnetic types of coating-thickness gages are commercially available and are a satisfactory basis for acceptance when properly calibrated just prior to inspection use, (See ASTM E 376.) ‘Mechanical properties shall be determined on plate prior to corrugating or other fabricating, except tests may be made after fabrication by the purchaser for tensile and yield strengths. Test results, including chemical composition and mechanical properties, shall be maintained by the steel manufacturer or supplier for seven years. Test results for coating mass or other tests, and a copy of the steel manufacturer's or supplier's certified test results for chemical composition and mechanical properties shall be maintained by the fabricator for seven years. Such results shall be made available to the purchaser upon request. REJECTION AND REHEARING Material that fails to conform to the requirements of this specification may be rejected. Rejection should be reported to the manufacturer, supplier, or fabricator promptly and ia writing, In case of dissatisfaction with the results of the test, the manufacturer, supplier, or fabricator may make claim for a rehearing, ~ CERTIFICATION — ‘When specified in the purchase order or contract, a steel manufacturer's or supplier's certification or fabricator’ certification, or both, shall be furnished to the purchaser stating that samples representing each lot have been tested and inspected in accordance with this specification and have been found to meet the requirements for the material described in the order.
