STACKING
It is recommended that pipe to be stored for any extended period of time should not be stacked higher than indicated in the table below. To prevent dirt and debris from entering the pipe, bottom tiers should be kept off the ground on timbers, rails, or concrete supports.
Pipe on succeeding tiers should be alternated -- bell-plain end, plain end-bell, etc. Timbers 100mm x 100mm size should be placed between all tiers, and chocks should be nailed at each end to prevent movement of the pipe. For safety and convenience, each size should be stacked separately. |

Notes:
Stacking heights are limited by practical consideration to a height of approximately 4m for purposes of safety and handling ease.
LOADING
Ductile iron pipe is shipped in truckload or carload lots for freight economies. Tabulated below are practical loading quantities for Fastite® Joint ductile iron cement-lined pipe. Truckload quantities are based on standard 20-ton loading.
Quantities can vary due to changes in joints, classes, ICC tariff, linings, weights, dunnage, other material, or sizes included in loads, etc. Therefore, this table should be used as a guide only. Contact ACIPCO if more exact information is required. |
