March Technical Seminar:

Pressure Cast Steel Pipe Design and Performance

Pressure Cast Steel Pipe utilizes a patent-pending manufacturing process that allows higher design stress levels in mortar- or concrete-lined steel cylinders while providing a pipe that is more rugged and less expensive to install when compared to ordinary steel pipe. This technical presentation will include basic manufacturing processes, design procedures, testing, and test results for this new pipe.

Technical Presenter: Richard I. Mueller, P.E.

Richard Mueller is the originator of the design concept for Pressure Cast Steel Pipe. He is President of Ameron International Corporation’s Water Transmission Group, and has 30 years experience in the design and manufacturing of concrete, steel, and fiberglass pipe for municipal applications.
