The 5th Edition of AWWA M11 (AWWA 2017) has been available for over a year and the benefits to engineers have been recognized for the additional value it has created for steel pipe design. There were numerous changes and additions that are intended to clarify important criteria and procedures when designing steel water pipe.
This article will review torque calculations as they apply to AWWA C207 flanges and will discuss the new AWWA web-based interactive tool for performing flange bolt torque calculations.
One of STI/SPFA’s goals with our experts’ design tips is to point out important changes in the new edition of AWWA M11 and to provide background of why such revisions were made. Steel pipe systems have been designed, fabricated, and installed with decades of experience, achieving reliable and long-lasting operational service, while establishing proven safety factors that the engineering community has trusted. This article will discuss changes made to harnessed coupling design and the associated explanatory material included within Appendixes B and C, changes in design to thrust anchor rings, and expansion of the guidance provided with the use of stulling to handle large diameter steel pipe.

The 5th edition of AWWA M11 has been available for a little over a year and the benefits to engineers have been recognized for the value it has for steel pipe design. There were numerous changes and additions that are intended to clarify important design criteria when designing steel water pipe. The nature of engineering design is that the knowledge used to design large facilities is learned and remembered mostly during the work on a project. This series of articles will highlight many of the major changes in the new AWWA M11. The first article in a series will concentrate on outlets in a pipeline. This article, along with the remaining articles, will become useful references for the design of pipeline and treatment plant projects. Read More..
