3、 of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers joints for plastic pipe systemsintended for drain, and gravity sewerage pipe at internal orexternal pressures less than 25-ft head using flexible watertightelastomeric seals. This specification is intended to cover thetest requirements, test methods,
4、 and acceptable materials. Thetest methods described for the joints are not intended to beroutine quality control tests but to be reliability or performancerequirements.1.2 The text of this specification references notes, footnotes,and appendixes which provide explanatory material. Thesenotes and fo
5、otnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shallnot be considered as requirements of the specification.1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to thetest method portion, paragraph 7.5, of this specification:Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any
6、, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the userof this standard to establish appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use.2.

The lubricant shall haveno deteriorating effects on the gasket and pipe materials.5. Gene
10、ral Requirements5.1 Joints shall not leak when subjected to the internal andexternal hydrostatic tests of Section 7 for a period of 10 min.5.2 All surfaces of the joint upon or against which thegasket bears shall be smooth and free of cracks, fractures, orimperfections.5.3 DrawingsThe manufacturer s
11、hall furnish drawings ofthe joint and gasket if requested by the purchaser.5.4 The gasket shall be the sole element depended upon tomake the joint flexible and watertight. The gasket shall be acontinuous elastomeric ring.5.5 In mechanical joints, the pipe spigot shall have a wallthickness sufficient
12、 to withstand, without deformation orcollapse, the compressive force exerted when the fitting istightened.5.6 Some joint designs provide for the angular deflection ofa pipe joint, without reducing watertightness. Where greaterdeflections are required than permitted by the joint design,suitable fitti
13、ngs must be provided.5.7 The joint components shall be of such design that theywill withstand the forces caused by the compression of the1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on PlasticPiping Systems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F17.20 on Joining.Cur

17、ccordance with the requirements of the pipe manufacturer.6. Dimensions and Tolerances6.1 Dimensions of the joint components shall be in accor-dance with the manufacturers standard design dimensions andtolerances. Such dimensions shall be gaged at sufficientlyfrequent intervals to assure dimensional
18、control and satisfac-tory joint assembly. The method for measuring these dimen-sions shall be in accordance with Test Method D2122.6.2 Gasket dimensions shall be in accordance with themanufacturers standard design dimensions and tolerances.The gasket shall be of such size and shape as to provide ana
19、dequate compressive force against the spigot and socket afterassembly, to effect a positive seal under all combinations ofjoint and gasket tolerances, when tested in accordance withSection 7.7. Joint Qualification Requirements7.1 Assemble a piece of pipe into a bell or fitting as shownin Fig. 1. Sea
20、l the openings, using either solvent cement capsas shown, or mechanical sealing devices. The gasket shall belubricated as instructed by the manufacturer. Use water in theabsence of other lubricants.7.2 Perform the pressure and vacuum tests as described in7.5 on two properly joined pipes in straight
21、alignment.7.3 Deflect the joint to the maximum angular misalignmentspecified by the manufacturer. With the joint deflected, performpressure and vacuum tests described in 7.5.7.4 Using the test fixture shown in Fig. 2, commencemeasuring deflection when the load contacts the top of thepipe. Apply furt
22、her load until the point of load application hasmoved downward 5 % of the pipe outside diameter. Hold thisposition and perform the tests described in 7.5.NOTE 1The 5 % deflection criterion, which was arbitrarily selectedfor testing convenience, should not be considered as a limitation withrespect to
23、 in-use deflection.7.5 Test Methods:NOTE 2It is acceptable to perform the vacuum and pressure tests inany order. As an option to seat the gasket, or in referee testing if agreedby all parties, the sequence of tests may be pressure, vacuum, pressure foreach condition in 7.2, 7.3, and 7.4.7.5.1 Intern
24、al Pressure TestFill the assembly with water.External restraints should be provided in the test equipment toprevent separation of the gasket joint under pressure. Apply apressure of 74 kPa (10.8 psi) (gage) (25-ft head) for 10 min.Visible leaks in the gasket joint constitute a failure.7.5.2 Vacuum T
25、estFill the assembly with air only. Apply avacuum of 74 kPa (22 in. Hg). Close the valve and remove thevacuum line. Allow the assembly to stand for 10 min to checkfor leaks before testing. The internal pressure shall not changemore than 3 kPa (1 in. Hg). Perform the test required, notingthe internal
26、 pressure after the test condition is attained andagain 10 min later. The internal pressure shall not change morethan 17 kPa (5 in. Hg) during this second 10-min period.8. Retest and Rejection8.1 If the results of any test(s) do not meet the requirementsof this specification, the test(s) shall be co
27、nducted again onlyby agreement between the purchaser and the seller. Under suchagreement, minimum requirements shall not be lowered, nortests omitted, substituted, changed, or modified, nor shallspecification limits be changed. If upon retest, failure occurs,the quantity of product represented by th
28、e test(s) does not meetthe requirements of this specification.9.
