just got a pipe type 'mpaa' or 'mppa'. what could this be? i believe the last 'A' represents 'arch'

i'm starting to think mppa is metal plate pipe arch. anybody that can verify this would be appreciated

I am not familiar with the term "MPPA" generally you would expect to see something like Structural Plate Pipe Arch or Corrugated Metal Pipe Arch. If the MPPA came from a field crew it might be possible. You would expect that such a pipe would be perhaps 6 to 20 feet high and an larger width. If it is old it might be boiler plate.

thanks for the catalog. we got the terminology from our civil engineer. he just verified 'mppa' as metal plate pipe arch. there was no 'mpaa'.
