CORRUGATED METAL PIPE (CSP, CASP, CAP)

Corrugated metal pipe is used extensively in flood control,
drainage and sewer systems because of its economic value,
strength and durability. The pipe is usually fabricated in 20-
foot sections; however, sections in other lengths are
available. The available diameters range from 6 inches to
96 inches and the available wall thicknesses are .052
inches (18 gauge), .064 inches (16 gauge), .079 inches
(14 gauge), .109 inches (12 gauge), .138 inches (10
gauge) and .168 inches (8 gauge). The pitch of the
corrugation is two and two-thirds inches and the depth is
one-half inch. For 6-, 8-, and 10-inch pipe the pitch is one
and one-half inches and the depth is one-fourth inch. (See
detail on this page for definitions of pitch and depth.)

CORRUGATED METAL PIPE-ARCH (CSPA, CASPA,

CAPA)
Corrugated metal pipe-arch performs the same function as
round pipe and is used primarily where there is limited
headroom or cover over the pipe or where the hydraulic
conditions necessitate its use. Corrugated metal pipe-arch,
like corrugated metal pipe, is usually fabricated in 20-foot
sections, although sections of other lengths are available.
The pipe-arch is available in many sizes. The minimum span
x rise is 17 x 13 inches and the maximum is 83 x 57
inches. The available wall thicknesses are .064 inches (16
gauge), .079 inches (14 gauge), .109 inches (12 gauge),
.138 inches (10 gauge), and .168 inches (8 gauge). The
pitch of the corrugations is two and two-thirds inches, and
the depth is one-half inch (see detail on this page for
definitions of pitch and depth).

 SPIRAL RIB PIPE (SRP) PACIFIC
CORRUGATED PIPE CO.
®

Spiral Rib Pipe (SRP) is one of many innovative pipe products developed by
Pacific Corrugated Pipe Company during it's long history in the drainage
industry. This exciting new product was developed in response to the needs
of drainage designers for a pipe product with the hydraulics of smoothwall
pipe plus the many other advantages of corrugated metal pipe.

Pacific Corrugated Pipe Company has developed a variety of rib profiles to

provide the widest range of sizes available in the industry. SRP is available
in sizes of 12 inches through 144 inches in steel and 12 inches through
120 inches in aluminum alloy.

Fabrication: SRP is a flexible metal conduit manufactured from a

continuous strip of galvanized steel, aluminized Type II steel, or aluminum
alloy. Available steel thicknesses are .064 inch, .079 inch, and .109 inch.
Available aluminum thicknesses are .060 inch, .075 inch, and .105 inch.
The coil strip is passed through a forming line which forms the ribs and
prepares the edges. The formed section is then helically wound into pipe
and the edges are joined by mechanical lockseaming.

Hydraulics: In 1983, a series of friction factor tests were conducted on SRP at the Utah Water Research Laboratory
located at Utah State University in Logan, Utah (Hydraulics Program Report No. 83). Tests were conducted on 24-inch
and 36-inch SRP with open ribs and 36-inch SRP with ribs filled. Comparison of the results with ribs filled to open ribs
showed little influence on flow due to the open rib section.

0.463 8/3 1/2

MANNINGS FORMULA: Q= n D S n=0.011

Analysis of the test results and theoretical scaling to larger sizes resulted in a recommended value of n=.011 for use in
Manning’s Formula for all diameters.

SMOOTH WALL ALLOWS LAMINAR FLOW CORRUGATIONS CREATE TURBULENT FLOW

Applications: Spiral Rib Pipe is commonly specified for storm drain, irrigation, and small hydro projects. SRP should
be considered for use on any project where hydraulic efficiency is a design criterion. Tens of millions of feet of SRP are
currently in use worldwide.

TriShield PIPE
TriShield steel ribbed polyethylene pipe is a state of the

film and a polyolefin plastomer liner, both developed by The
Dow Chemical Company specifically for this application.
This lining system has been thoroughly tested and found to
be highly resistant to a variety of chemicals and remarkably
resistant to scour and abrasion. It also exhibits excellent
adhesion and durability in handling and field service. Hydraulics

DRAINAGE PRODUCTS
PERFORATED PIPE
Corrugated metal pipe is available with perforations of varying size and
spacing and is primarily used for groundwater collection or recharge.
Perforated pipe is used in a wide variety of applications including trench
drains, structure underdrains, gas collection, water wells, and dry wells.
Perforated pipe is also used in retention/recharge systems where collected
stormwater is released into the ground through exfiltration. Pipe may be
custom perforated to your specifications or in accordance with AASHTO
M-36.

FLASHBOARD RISERS
Flashboard risers are used to control water levels in ponds, settling basins, canals, and reservoirs.
They are also used as “turnouts” to redirect water from irrigation supply canals.
Short pieces of lumber are stacked in side channels to create a variable height overflow structure.
These structures are custom fabricated to meet specific project requirements. They are available in
a wide range of sizes and metal thicknesses, in steel or aluminum alloy.
