1、Designation: C 990 08Standard Specification forJoints for Concrete Pipe, Manholes, and Precast BoxSections Using Preformed Flexible Joint Sealants1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 990; 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 specification covers joints for precast concrete pipeand box, and other sectio

3、ns using preformed flexible jointsealants for use in storm sewers and culverts which are notintended to operate under internal pressure, or are not subjectto infiltration or exfiltration limits. Joint material used inhorizontal applications is intended to prevent the flow of solidsthrough the joint.

4、1.2 For precast concrete manhole sections and other verticalstructures, which are subject to internal or external pressure,infiltration or exfiltration limits are not prohibited from beingspecified. Joints in vertical structures covered by this specifi-cation are intended mainly to prevent the flow

5、of solids orfluids through the joint.1.3 This specification is to be used with pipe and structuresconforming in all respects to Specifications C 14, C 76, C 478,C 506, C 507, C 655, C 985, and C 1433, provided that if thereis a conflict in permissible variations in dimensions, therequirements of thi

6、s specification shall govern.1.4 This specification is the inch-pound companion toC 990M; therefore, no SI equivalents are presented in thespecification.NOTE 1This specification covers the material and performance of thejoint and sealant only. Infiltration and exfiltration quantities for installedse

7、ctions are dependent on factors other than the joints which must becovered by other specifications and suitable testing of the installedpipeline.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this stand

8、ard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Performance Requirements for Joints10.1 The sections shal

42、l be tested hydrostatically in verticalalignment and a sufficient number of sections shall be as-sembled in straight alignment to develop a pressure of at least10 psi for 10 minutes at the test joint. Alternate test methodsare acceptable as long as the designated internal hydrostaticpressure is achi

43、eved at the joint. No mortar or concretecoatings, fillings or packing shall be placed prior to watertightness tests. There shall be no visible leakage. Moisture orbeads of water appearing on the joint will not be considered asleakage.10.2 The user of this specification is advised that thehydrostatic

44、 test is intended only for use as a quality control test,and not as a simulated service test. The 10 psi pressure criterionfor sections should not be considered an indication of thehydrostatic pressure capability of the joint and sealant underinstalled conditions. Field tests for completed portions

45、ofconcrete pipe and structures are not covered by this specifica-tion, but shall be included in the specifications for installation.11. Storage11.1 The sealant shall be stored in as cool and as clean aplace as practicable, preferably at a temperature between 50 to70F.12. Inspection12.1 The quality o

46、f the materials and the joint and sealantshall be subject to inspection and approval by the owner.13. Rejection13.1 Pipe joints and sealants shall be subject to rejectionupon failure to conform to any of the requirements of thisspecification.13.2 Sealants shall be subject to rejection whenever theys

47、how surface checking, weathering, or other deterioration priorto installation in the work.13.3 Joints that are damaged because of carelessness orcontinuing failure to prevent recurrent imperfections in manu-facturing or damage during handling shall be subject torejection.14. Repairs14.1 Spalled area

48、s, manufacturing imperfections, or damageduring handling of a pipe or box or other section that willadversely affect the joint, are not prohibited from beingrepaired. The repairs will be acceptable if, in the opinion of theowner, the repairs are sound, properly finished and cured,provided the length

49、 of a single area to be repaired does notexceed 10 % of the total perimeter length, and the length ofseveral areas to be repaired does not exceed 20 % of the totalperimeter length. The finished repair shall conform to therequirements of 7.1.2.At the option of the owner, the pipe jointthat has been repaired shall be subjected to the designatedhydrostatic test in 10.1.15.
