Foreword

  The symposium on Buried Plastic Pipe Technology was held in Dallas, Texas, on 10-13
Sept. 1990. ASTM Committee F-17 on Plastic Piping Systems and Subcommittee D20.23
on Reinforced Plastic Piping Systems and Chemical Equipment sponsored the symposium
in cooperation with ASTM Committees D-20 on Plastics and D-18 on Soil and Rock, the
Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association, the Fiberglass Pipe Institute, and the Plastics Pipe Institute.
George S. Buczala, Philadelphia Electric Company, and Michael J. Cassady, Battelle Colum-
bus Laboratories, served as co-chairmen of the symposium and co-editors of the resulting
publication.
Acknowledgment
  On behalf of the symposium planning committee, we thank the speakers
for their preparation and participation, the peer reviewers for their time, and
the ASTM Staff for their patience.
