16、standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.1Mon Apr 30 32 6.1.1 The joint design shall consist of a bell or groove onone end of
17、a unit of box, and a spigot or tongue on the adjacentend of the joining box.6.1.2 All surfaces of the joint upon or against which thegasket is capable of bearing shall be smooth, free of spalls,cracks or fractures, and imperfections that would adverselyaffect the performance of the joint.6.1.3 The j
18、oints of the box shall be of such design that theywill withstand the forces caused by the compression of thegasket when joined, without cracking or fracturing when testedin accordance with Section 9.6.1.4 The angle of taper on the surfaces of the inside of thebell or groove and the outer surface of
19、the spigot or tonguewhere the gasket seats shall be not more than 3.5 measuredfrom the pipe axis, except that tapers up to 5 are not prohibitedif proven adequate by plant tests as specified in Section 9 andapproved by the owner. The surface on the spigot or tongueshall be modified to properly positi
20、on and seat the gasket.6.1.5 The space between the gasket-bearing surfaces of theassembled and centered joint shall be not more than 75 % ofthe uncompressed thickness of the installed gasket with allmanufacturing tolerances applied. Minimum tolerances shallnot be less than 10 % of the installed gask
21、et height. Theminimum off-center gasket deformation of the assembled jointat design closure shall not be less than 15 %. The joint designshall provide for the deflection of a box unit by opening oneside of the outside joint surface of the joint12 in. (13 mm)wider than the designed position without c
22、ausing the deforma-tion of the gasket to be less than 10 %. Where greaterdeflections are required than provided by the joint design,beveled joints or elbows must be provided.6.1.6 The gasket shall be the sole sealing element dependedupon to make the joint flexible and leak resistant. The gasketshall
23、 be a continuous shape which fits snugly into the annularspace between the overlapping surfaces of the assembled boxjoint.6.1.7 The gasket shall not be stretched more than 30 %when seated on the spigot or tongue end of the box.6.1.8 Where the particular joint design utilizing a rubbergasket dictates
24、 the use of a lubricant to facilitate assembly, thelubricant composition shall have no detrimental effect on theperformance of the gasket and joint due to prolonged exposure.NOTE 1Joints in an assembled position are defined as joints in theposition after assembly in accordance with the manufacturers
25、 design.6.2 Alternative Joint DesignsWhen agreed upon by theowner, manufacturers are not prohibited from submitting to theowner detailed designs for joints and gaskets other than thosedescribed in Section 6. Design submissions shall include jointgeometry, tolerances, gasket characteristics, gasketde
