This specification covers perforated concrete pipe intended to be used for underdrainage. Pipe manufactured to this specification shall be of two classes, Type 1 and Type 2, describing two arrangements of perforations for pipe manufactured to the standard specifications for plain or reinforced concrete pipe, and their classifications. The acceptability of the pipe shall be determined by the results of all applicable tests prescribed for the type and class of pipe specified. The joints shall be of such design and the ends of the concrete pipe sections so formed that the pipe can be laid together to make a continuous line of pipe.

1.1 This specification covers perforated concrete pipe intended to be used for underdrainage.
