**Citation:** 49 CFR 193.2115  
**Type / status:** regulation / historical  
**Agency:** Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration  
**Effective:** 1999-10-01  
**Published:** Not stated

Concrete intended for normal use at cryogenic temperatures or for use under § 193.2107(c)(1) may not be used unless:

(a) Materials, measurements, mixing, placing, prestressing, and poststressing of concrete meets generally accepted engineering practices;

(b) Metallic reinforcing, prestressing wire

## Document text

Concrete intended for normal use at cryogenic temperatures or for use under § 193.2107(c)(1) may not be used unless:

(a) Materials, measurements, mixing, placing, prestressing, and poststressing of concrete meets generally accepted engineering practices;

(b) Metallic reinforcing, prestressing wire, structural and nonstructural members used in concrete are acceptable in the installed condition for the temperature and stress levels encountered at design loading conditions; and

(c) Tests for the compressive strength, the coefficient of contraction, an acceptable thermal gradient, and, if applicable, acceptable surface loading to prevent detrimental spalling are performed on the concrete at the lowest temperature for which the concrete is designed or similar test data on these properties are available.
