Ladies and Gents: I've got a project in China where we have been instructed to use the 2006 IBC, IFC etc. For design and engineering purposes all disciplines per contract are to use the presumptuously named US International Codes series.
However, there's always an exception isn't there. Because it's common in China, they want to use coated and wrapped carbon steel pipe for the underground. Even when it was legal, I never liked it because of the leakage potential, maintenance requirements, additional cathodic protection often required, etc. NFPA 13 and 24, permit steel pipe only if specifically listed for underground service. I don't think I've ever seen listed underground steel pipe. If any of you have, please advise. Regardless of whether or not there is such an animal, I may lose the battle since it won't likely be a case where a permit will be denied. Thanks for your help.
