Full title and description
Standard Specification for Manufacture of Reinforced Precast Concrete End Sections for Pipe — ASTM C1932-23. This purchasing, manufacturing, and acceptance specification covers reinforced precast concrete end sections for pipe (including flared, sloped, parallel end sections, precast end walls, headwalls, and similar precast end-section products) and sets manufacturing and acceptance provisions to conform to the owner’s requirements.
Abstract
ASTM C1932-23 defines requirements for the manufacture and acceptance of reinforced precast concrete end sections used at pipe outlets and culvert terminations. The standard clarifies product types, measurement units (inch-pound as standard with SI conversions informative), and notes that it is a manufacturing/purchasing specification that does not address bedding, backfill, or installation details.

Scope
The specification covers the manufacture and acceptance criteria for reinforced precast concrete end sections for pipe, including but not limited to flared, sloped, and parallel end sections, precast end walls, and precast headwalls. It is intended as a purchasing and manufacturing standard to ensure product conformity to owner requirements; it explicitly excludes requirements for bedding, backfill, and installation. Inch-pound units are primary; SI conversions are provided for information only.
Key topics and requirements
- Definition and examples of end-section types (flared, sloped, parallel, end walls, headwalls).
- Manufacturing and acceptance provisions to meet owner-specified dimensions, reinforcement, and performance.
- Units and measurement: inch-pound are standard; SI values given for information only.
- Notes clarifying exclusion of bedding, backfill, and installation requirements (users must ensure installation conforms to project specs).
- Purchase and procurement guidance: the standard functions as a buying/manufacturing specification to specify form, reinforcement, and acceptance testing as required by the owner.
Typical use and users
Used by civil and structural engineers, spec writers, owners/permit authorities, precast concrete manufacturers, product purchasers, and contractors involved in stormwater, culvert, and drainage design and construction. Typical applications include outlet protections, pipe terminations, headwalls, and precast end-section deliveries where consistent manufacture and acceptance are required.
Related standards
ASTM C1932-23 sits within ASTM Committee C13 product standards and is commonly referenced alongside other precast/concrete manufacturing specifications such as ASTM C1417 (precast reinforced concrete sewer, storm drain, and culvert pipe), ASTM C1504 (precast three-sided structures for culverts and storm drains), and ASTM C478 (precast reinforced concrete manhole sections). These related standards address companion products, design, or manufacturing practices for precast concrete drainage structures.
