Has anyone ever heard of this term?
Here is the context
L'interramento della tubazione, misurato tra la generatrice superiore del tubo ed il livello del terreno, deve essere almeno pari a 600 mm.
I take it as the top/upper part of the pipe line - can someone confirm, or give me a better translation/interpretation?

crown of the pipe
I spent a lot of time researching this some time ago. Try googling the term. The term can also be translated as chord when it refers to trusses.
