Abstract
A pre-stressed concrete pipe is made by casting a concrete pipe inside a metal cylinder and then being pre-stressed by injecting solidifying compound under pressure into the boundary between the metal cylinder and concrete pipe, and includes a pair of end rings within the metal cylinder, each having a metal ring with an annular groove and an elastic band having a curved end to provide a rounded corner on the concrete pipe. After the solidifying compound is solidified, the concrete pipe retains the compression increasing its strength to withstand pressure, and moments caused by external loads. The pre-stressed concrete pipe further includes a bell ring mounted at one end and a spigot ring having a gasket ring at the other end. A bell clamp is mounted on the bell ring.
