Question 1

When assembling a push-on joint for Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP) in a water distribution main per AWWA C600, which procedure is required to ensure a watertight seal without damaging the rubber gasket?

Clean the socket and gasket groove, apply approved non-toxic vegetable lubricant to the spigot and gasket, and align pipe before pushing home Apply petroleum-based grease liberally to the gasket and spigot end Heat the bell end with a propane torch to expand the socket prior to inserting the spigot Drive the spigot home using a backhoe bucket directly against the pipe bell without alignment

Correct Answer:

Clean the socket and gasket groove, apply approved non-toxic vegetable lubricant to the spigot and gasket, and align pipe before pushing home

Question 2

According to AWWA C600 standards, what is the minimum hydrostatic test pressure and duration required for newly installed ductile iron water mains?

1.0 times the working pressure for 30 minutes 1.5 times the working pressure at the lowest point (or at least 150 psi) for a minimum duration of 2 hours 1.25 times the maximum operating pressure for 1 hour 2.0 times the system design pressure for 24 hours

Correct Answer:

1.5 times the working pressure at the lowest point (or at least 150 psi) for a minimum duration of 2 hours

Question 3

A contractor is hydrostatically testing a 2,000-foot section of 12-inch nominal diameter ductile iron pipe at a test pressure of 150 psi. Using the AWWA C600 allowable leakage formula L = (S * D * sqrt(P)) / 148,000, what is the maximum allowable leakage rate in gallons per hour (gph)?

0.98 gph 3.45 gph 1.99 gph 5.20 gph

Correct Answer:

1.99 gph

Question 4

A 16-inch water main operating at 100 psi makes a 45-degree horizontal bend. If the total hydrostatic thrust force generated is calculated as 15,400 lbs and the soil bearing capacity is 2,000 pounds per square foot (psf), what is the minimum required bearing area of the concrete thrust block against undisturbed soil?

3.85 sq ft 30.80 sq ft 15.40 sq ft 7.70 sq ft

Correct Answer:

7.70 sq ft

Question 5

In hydraulic network calculations, how does the Hazen-Williams roughness coefficient (C-factor) affect pipe friction head loss?

A higher C-factor represents a smoother interior pipe surface, resulting in lower friction head loss A higher C-factor represents a rougher interior surface, resulting in higher friction head loss The C-factor only applies to open-channel flow and has no effect on pressurized pipes Friction head loss is directly proportional to the square of the C-factor

Correct Answer:

A higher C-factor represents a smoother interior pipe surface, resulting in lower friction head loss
