17、 specimen.4.2.2 The bladder shall be able to safely contain an internalwater pressure of at least 11.0 psi (75 kPa).4.2.3 The bladder shall have plumbing connections thatallow the bladder to be pressurized with water and that allowtrapped air to be bled out of the bladder.4.2.4 The bladder shall hav

18、e a pressure gauge that indicatespressure in the bladder. This gauge shall be capable ofmeasuring 11 psi (75 kPa) (gauge) with an accuracy of 60.5psi (63.5 kPa) (gauge).4.3 Support Fixture:4.3.1 The support fixture shall constrain movement of thetest specimen and bladder during testing.4.3.2 The sup

19、port fixture shall be capable of axially deflect-ing the joint specimen about the joint to the maximumdeflection angle recommended by the joint manufacturer.NOTE 1Axial deflection of a gasketed pipe joint will also inducediametric deformation of the bell and spigot if the angle of axial deflectionis

20、 large enough. This can be beneficial when evaluating the sealing abilityof a gasketed pipe joint.5. Test Specimens5.1 The gasketed joint specimen shall be comprised of agasketed bell and a spigot with a chamfer on the outsidediameter edge. Both the bell and spigot shall be of sufficientlength to ex

21、tend out beyond the bladder enough to provide ameans by which to attach the specimen/bladder assembly to thesupport fixture.5.2 Bell specifications and spigot chamfer specificationsshall be determined by the manufacturer, but the specimensshall be representative of normal and customary production by

22、the manufacturer. (See Test Method D2122.)5.3 Three specimens shall be tested for each size of gas-keted conduit.6. Conditioning6.1 Condition specimens for at least 2 h in air at atemperature of 73.4 6 3.6 F (23 6 2 C) and conduct the testin a room maintained at the same temperature. (See PracticeD6

23、18.)7. Procedure7.1 Select and condition three sets of gasketed bells andspigots of the same nominal size according to Sections 5 and 6of this test method.7.2 Mark the specimens with consecutive numbers, startingwith “1” and ending with “3.”7.3 Select a bell/spigot pair and apply a joint lubricantre

24、commended by the conduit manufacturer to both the bell andspigot according to the lubricant manufacturers directions.7.4 Insert the spigot into the bell until the insertion line onthe spigot is flush with the bell lip.7.5 Slide the bladder over the assembled conduit joint andcenter the bladder over

25、the joint seam. Seal the ends of thebladder to the spigot and bell.NOTE 2The type of clamps used to seal the bladder to the specimenand the location of the clamps on the specimen may influence the amountof bell and spigot deformation when the joint is deflected axially.7.6 Attach all plumbing in acc

26、ordance with 4.2.3 and 4.2.4to the bladder assembly.7.7 Attach the bladder/specimen assembly to the test fixturein a horizontal, axially straight position.7.8 Fill the bladder with water and bleed off trapped air. Donot allow the bladder to pressurize past 5 psi (34 kPa) duringthe filling and air bl

27、eeding of the bladder.7.9 After all air is bled from the bladder, pressurize thebladder to 11 psi (75 kPa) and allow the bladder pressure tostabilize for 5 min.7.10 After the stabilization period, make the necessaryadjustments to the bladder pressure to return it to 11.0 6 0.5psi (75 6 3.5 kPa).7.11

28、 Check for water leakage inside specimen. Leakage atthis point constitutes failure of the test.7.12 Visually check for leakage of the joint at 5, 10, and15-min intervals. If leakage is detected at any interval, discon-tinue the test. Any leakage constitutes a failure of the test.7.13 If no leakage h

29、as occurred to this point, repeat 7.12after axially misaligning the same joint to the maximumamount allowed by the joint manufacturer.7.14 Any leakage during any part of the test constitutesfailure of the test and the test may be suspended at that point.7.15 Repeat 7.3 through 7.14 for the remaining
