1、Designation: C1091 03a (Reapproved 2018)Standard Test Method forHydrostatic Infiltration Testing of Vitrified Clay Pipe Lines1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1091; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision

2、, 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 defines procedures for hydrostaticinfiltration testing of new installations of vitrifie

3、d clay pipelines, to demonstrate the structural integrity of the installedline. Refer to Practice C12.1.2 This test method is suitable for testing gravity-flow pipelines constructed of vitrified clay pipe or combinations of claypipe and other pipe materials.1.3 This test method is applicable to the

4、testing of the pipelines only. Manholes or other structures should be testedseparately.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standar

Terminology3.1 Terminology C896 can be used for clarifications

8、ofterminology in this test method.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method shall be performed on lines afterconnection laterals, if any, have been plugged and adequatelybraced to withstand the test pressure, and after the trencheshave been backfilled and compacted.5. Significance and Use5.1 The

9、 tests called for herein, for their results, indicate theacceptability of installed vitrified clay pipelines.6. Preparation of the Line6.1 To ensure the proper seating of the test plugs and theaccuracy of the test, the lines should be cleaned prior to testing.6.2 Examples of methods for cleaning the

10、 lines are thesewer cleaning ball and high pressure flushing equipment.7. Procedure7.1 The hydrostatic infiltration test procedure is applicablewhere the measured water table is 2 ft (610 mm) or greaterabove the pipe barrel at the lower manhole of the test section.Where the ground water elevation is

11、 indeterminate, less than 2ft (610 mm) above the top of the pipe barrel, or the line ispartially below the water table, use a combination of both theair test and infiltration procedure.NOTE 1The most practical method for testing is Test Method C828,and is recommended. However, where ground water is

12、present and meetsthe criteria established in , the infiltration test procedure outlined in thispractice is recommended.7.2 Determine the allowable infiltration rate for the testsection using Table 1.NOTE 2What can be called false infiltration represents condensate onthe pipe walls.7.3 The test rate

13、table is based on the standard of 50 gal/in.diametermileday (4.6 L/mm diameterkilometreday).7.4 Table 1 shows the allowable infiltration rate ingallons 100 ft of pipe hour (litres per 30.5 metres hour) foreach nominal pipe size.1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee C04 on Vitr

17、Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.17.5 If the test section includes more than one pipe size,calculate the allowable test rate for each size and add to arriveat the total allowable test rate for the test section.7.6 Discontinue all pumping of ground water for a period of24 h pr

18、ior to testing.7.7 Plug the inlet to the section to be tested. If there isinfiltration in the section upstream from the test section, theupstream section shall be plugged off or dewatered to preventthe manhole from filling with water.7.8 Begin collection and measurement after constant flow isgenerat

19、ed at the test section outlet. Collect the infiltration in acalibrated container or use a calibrated weir.7.9 Terminate the infiltration test when sufficient water iscollected or measured, or both, to establish the test rate.7.10 If the infiltration rate (Table 1) is within the establishedlimit, the

20、 line is presumed to have passed the test.7.11 If there is no flow in the test section or the flow isminimal and cannot be measured, the line has passed the test.8. Precision and Bias8.1 No statement is made about either the precision or biasof this test method for measuring gallons (litres) and tim
