1、Designation: C1244 11 (Reapproved 2017)Standard Test Method forConcrete Sewer Manholes by the Negative Air Pressure(Vacuum) Test Prior to Backfill1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1244; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in
2、 the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers procedures for testing precastconcrete manhole sections whe
3、n using the vacuum test methodto demonstrate the integrity of the installed materials and theconstruction procedures. This test method is used for testingconcrete manhole sections utilizing mortar, mastic, or gasketedjoints.1.2 This test method is intended to be used as a preliminarytest to enable t
4、he installer to demonstrate the condition of theconcrete manholes prior to backfill. Users are hereby cautionedthat misuse or misapplication of the test criteria containedherein can cause permanent damage to the system being tested.NOTE 1Vacuum test criteria presented in this test method are similar
5、to those in general use. The test and criteria have been widely andsuccessfully used in testing manholes.NOTE 2The user of this test method is advised that no correlation hasbeen found between vacuum (air) and hydrostatic tests.1.3 This test method is the companion to metric TestMethod C1244M; there
6、fore, no SI equivalents are shown inthis test method.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility o

United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issue
15、d by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.17. Procedure7.1 The test head shall be placed at the top of the manholein accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.7.2 A vacuum of 10 in. Hg shall be drawn on the manhole,the valve on the vacuum line of the test
16、head closed, and thevacuum pump shut off. The time shall be measured for thevacuum to drop to 9 in. Hg.7.3 The manhole is acceptable if the time for the vacuumreading to drop from 10 in. Hg to 9 in. Hg meets or exceeds thevalues indicated in Table 1.7.4 If the manhole fails the initial test, the man
17、hole shall berepaired by an approved method until a satisfactory test isobtained.7.5 Use or failure of this vacuum test shall not precludeacceptance by appropriate water infiltration or exfiltrationtesting, (see Practice C969), or other means.8. Precision and Bias8.1 No justifiable statement is pres
18、ently capable of beingmade either on the precision or bias of this procedure, since thetest result merely states whether there is conformance to thecriteria for the success specified.9.

Air Testing for a Single Diameter PipeX1.1 The standard accepted method of air testing, for asingle diameter pipe, Practice C924, allows a drop of 1 psipressure during the time calculated by the formula:TPress.5KD2LQ(X1.1)where:T = time for 1 psi drop in pressureK = 0.00037 for in./lb unitsD
20、 = pipe diameter, in.L = length of line, ftQ = air loss, ft3/minX1.2 A pressure drop of 1 in. Hg for the vacuum testcompares to a pressure drop of 0.490 psi for the air test.1 in. Hg 314.696 lb/in.229.02 1 Hg5 0.490 psi (X1.2)Therefore, the time relationship is:Tvac5 0.490 Tpress(X1.3)orTvac5Tpress2
