2、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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 Th

3、is practice covers procedures for testing installed precast concrete pipe sewer lines using either water infiltration orexfiltration acceptance limits to demonstrate the integrity of the installed materials and construction procedure.1.2 This practice is the inch-pound companion to Practice C969M; t

4、herefore, no SI equivalents are presented in the practice.NOTE 1The owner shall specify the following: who will conduct, observe, and furnish labor, furnish material and measuring devices, and pay forthe tests; who is responsible for determining local groundwater conditions; and which test is to be

5、conducted, that is, an infiltration test or an exfiltrationtest.NOTE 2The user of this practice is advised that test criteria presented in this practice are similar to those in general use. Pipe, 24-in. diameter or larger,may be accepted by visual inspection when testing for infiltration.1.3 This st

Summary of Practice4.1 Determine the groundwater conditions surrounding the section of sewer to b

9、e tested and select the type of test to beconducted.4.2 For the infiltration test, the amount of water leaking into the sewer line is measured, and the rate of infiltration is determined.If the rate is less than or equal to the allowable limit, the section of sewer tested is acceptable.4.3 For the e

10、xfiltration test, the sewer line is filled with water to the specified test head and the rate of water loss is determined.If the rate is less than or equal to the allowable limit, the section of sewer tested is acceptable.5. Significance and Use5.1 This is not a routine test. The values recorded are

11、 applicable only to the sewer being tested and at the time of testing.1 This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C13 on Concrete Pipe and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C13.09 on Methods of Test.Current edition approved April 15, 2017Jan. 1, 2019.

Preparation of the Sewer Line6.1 The sewer shall should be free of debris prior to testing.6.2 The manholes, the ends of the branches, laterals, wyes and stubs to be included in the test shall be plugged. All plugs shallbe secured to prevent leakage blowout d

The length of main tested shall not exceed700 ft.7.1.2 Stop all dewatering operations and allow the groundwater to return to its normal level. Infiltration tes

17、ting shall not be usedunless the groundwater level is at least 2 ft above the crown of the pipe for the entire length of the test section.7.1.3 Plug all pipe outlets discharging into the upstream manhole.7.1.4 Measure the groundwater elevation and determine the average head over the test section.7.1

18、.5 Measure infiltration leakage at the outlet of the test section. Because leakage allowances are small, measurements are bestmade by either timing the filling of a small container of known volume, or by directing flow into a container for a specified timeand measuring the content, or by using small

19、 weirs.7.1.6 If the measured rate of leakage is less than or equal to the allowable leakage in accordance with 8.1, the section of sewertested is acceptable.7.1.7 If the test section fails, it is not prohibited that it be repaired and retested in accordance with this practice.7.2 Exfiltration Testin

20、g:7.2.1 Conduct testing from manhole to manhole or between more than two manholes. The length of main tested shall not exceed700 ft.7.2.2 Determine the groundwater elevation at both ends of the test section. If the groundwater level is less than 2 ft above thecrown of the pipe measured from the high

21、est elevation of the sewer, the exfiltration test shall be used.7.2.3 Plug all pipe outlets discharging into the upstream manhole and the test section outlet. Fill the sewer line with water.7.2.4 At the upstream manhole the test head shall be established as minimum of 2 ft above the crown of the pip

22、e, or at least2 ft above existing groundwater, whichever is higher.7.2.5 Allow the pipe to remain saturated for a period long enough to allow water absorption in the pipe, a minimum of 4 h andup to a maximum of 72 h. After the absorption period, refill the pipe to the required test head.7.2.6 Measur

23、e the leakage loss over a timed test period. The minimum test period shall be 15 min and the maximum shall notexceed 24 h.7.2.7 If the measured rate of leakage is less than or equal to the allowable leakage in accordance with 8.2, the section of sewertested is acceptable.7.2.8 If the test section fa

24、ils, it is not prohibited that it be repaired and retested in accordance with this practice. The groundwaterelevation shall be redetermined prior to a second test and the test head adjusted, if necessary, in accordance with 7.2.4.8. Leakage Criteria8.1 Infiltration Testing:8.1.1 For infiltration tes

25、ting, the allowable leakage limit including manholes is 200 gal/(in. of internal diameter) (mile of sewer)(24 h) when the average head on the test section is 6 ft or less.NOTE 3The average head on the test section is the head above the crown of the pipe at the upstream manhole plus the head above th

26、e crown of thepipe at the downstream manhole divided by two.8.1.2 When the average groundwater head on the test section is greater than 6 ft, the allowable leakage shall be increased inproportion to the ratio of the square root of the average groundwater head to the square root of the base head of 6

27、 ft.8.1.3 Manholes shall be tested separately and independently or with the pipeline with the allowance of 0.1 gal/(ft of diameter)(ft of head) (h). If building or house leads are connected to the main line being tested, allowance shall be made for permissibleleakage in such leads.8.2 Exfiltration T

28、esting:8.2.1 For exfiltration testing the allowable leakage limit including manholes is 200 gal/(in. of internal diameter) (mile of sewer)(24 h) when the average head on the test section is 36 ft or less.8.2.2 When the average head on the test section is greater than 6 ft, the allowable leakage shal

29、l be multiplied by the ratio ofthe square root of the average test head and the square root of the base head of 6 ft.8.2.3 Manholes shall be tested separately and independently or with the pipeline with an allowance of 0.1 gal/(ft of diameter)(ft of head) (h).9.
