Materials and Manufacture5.1 Expansion joints shall be fabricated with an elastomerictube reinforced with multiple plies of woven cloth or tire cordcovered with synt
18、hetic rubber. The inner tube shall be a naturalrubber, synthetic rubber, or blend of synthetic rubber that meetsthe requirements of this specification. The woven cloth or tirecord shall be nylon, polyester, fiberglass, or aramid. Cotton isnot acceptable. The reinforcing fabric shall be impregnatedwi
19、th a compatible friction stock. Additional reinforcement tothe fabric may be provided in the body of the expansion jointand may be solid metal rings or wire imbedded in the syntheticrubber. Tensile properties of the wire, if used, shall be as givenin 5.2. Body rings, if used, must be welded before b
20、einginstalled in the expansion joint body. Welds must be 100 %penetration.5.1.1 The list of elastomers used in expansion joints andrubber pipe in accordance with the Technical Handbook5listsacceptable natural rubber and synthetic elastomers for con-struction of non-metallic expansion joints.5.2 Rein
21、forcing wire shall have properties that allow theexpansion joints to meet the requirements of this specification.5.3 All expansion joints shall be manufactured with a coverof Hypalon or Neoprene (Chloroprene), in accordance withPractice D1418. This cover material must consist of 100 %Hypalon or Chlo
22、roprene (not blended with any other elasto-mer) plus normal additives to provide for curing and adurometer between 50 and 75 on the Shore A Scale. Neopreneand Hypalon are selected as the best fire-retardant elastomer ofthe common types used for expansion joints. This materialshall be certified flame
23、 resistant as outlined in 10.3.5.4 Integral FlangesThe tube, fabric plies, and cover shallbe brought up from the joint body to form an intregal flange.This rubber flange shall extend beyond the bolt holes of theretaining ring.5.5 Floating Metallic FlangesThe metal flanges shallhave a groove to accep
24、t the molded bead in the body at eachend of the expansion joint bellows.5.6 ArchesArches may be either straight sided or longradius depending on the manufacturers standard construction.The arch size and shape determine the movement capability ofthe joint. Minimum movement capability of single arch j
25、ointsshall be in accordance with the Technical Handbook5tabletitled “Expansion Joint Movement Force/Spring Rate Capabil-ity. Movement capability information for multiple arch de-signs shall be available from the manufacturer.5.7 Metallic Flanges:5.7.1 Flanges shall be drilled in accordance with the
26、Tech-nical Handbook5appendix titled “Common Flange Dimension/Drilling Chart or in accordance with the customer order asrequired, to match the mating flanges.5.7.2 Metallic flanges shall meet the material requirementsand pressure-temperature ratings in accordance with ANSIB16.1, B16.5, or B16.24.5.8
27、Retaining RingsRetaining rings for the integral flangetype are installed behind the flanges and are drilled to matchthe flange drilling. The sections supplied for each flange shouldbe split at the bolt holes to ensure a proper seal at all pointswhen the bolts are tightened. The edge next to the rubb
28、er flangeshall be broken or bevelled to prevent cutting the rubberflanges. Retaining rings must be a minimum thickness of38 in.(9.5 mm) and shall be made of steel or ductile iron. Carbonsteel shall be galvanized. Ductile iron shall be in accordancewith Specification A395/A395M.6. Other Requirements6
29、.1 All expansion joints shall be designed for a minimumburst pressure of four times the maximum allowable workingpressure. The design shall be based on analytical or experi-mental test of expansion joints of similar construction, class,type, and size. The design shall be certified by tests if ordere
30、d(see 4.1.9).6.2 Performance RequirementsSingle arch expansionjoint movement shall not exceed the limits of the TechnicalHandbook5table referred to in 5.6 unless the manufacturercertifies that a proposed design can exceed the listed minimummovement capability to meet a special requirement greater th
31、anthe minimum listed. Multiple arch-joint movement shall be ofthe manufacturers certified design.6.3 Pressure RatingExpansion joints shall be limited tothe pressures listed in the table “Pressure Characteristics ofRubber Expansion Joints of the Technical Handbook.57. Dimensions and Permissible Varia
32、tions7.1 Expansion joints shall be dimensioned in accordancewith the Technical Handbook5table titled “Expansion JointMovement/Force/Spring Rate Capability.8. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance8.1 TubeThe tube shall be free from cuts and breaks orsevere abrasions. Small depressions and indentations
33、are ac-ceptable as long as the surface of the elastomer is not broken.8.2 Integral Rubber and Fabric Flange:8.2.1 The face of an integral rubber and fabric flange shallbe free of cuts or obvious breaks and shall be covered withrubber. The most critical portion of the flange is from the insidediamete
34、r of the joint out to the bolt holes.5The Technical Handbook on Rubber Expansion Joints and Flexible PipeConnections is available from Fluid Sealing Association, 2017 Walnut St.,Philadelphia, PA 19103.F1123 87 (2015)28.2.2 Bolt holes shall be drilled cleanly through the rubberflange. The retaining r
35、ings shall be checked for proper align-ment with bolt holes.8.2.3 The outer edge of the flange shall be sealed withrubber, so that moisture from the atmosphere cannot attack thereinforcing fabrics.8.2.4 The surface of the rubber flange against which theretaining rings are installed shall be covered
36、with rubber. Thesurface may be irregular and building form tooling marks arenot objectionable.8.3 Expansion Joint Cover and BodyThe cover of a jointdoes not contribute to the strength of the joint. Its purpose is tokeep fluids from the atmosphere or surroundings from beingabsorbed into the body plie
37、s of fabric. Surface blemishes, suchas flash, nylon wrap markings, grooves, and other indentationsin the cover, over the arch, or in the body area, are not harmfulas long as the body fabric is not exposed.9. Number and Type of Tests9.1 Prototype Test:9.1.1 When required by the purchaser, an expansio
38、n joint ofeach size and type shall be burst tested to determine itsmaximum allowable working pressure (see 10.1).9.1.2 The outer covering material of the expansion jointshall be tested to determine its self-extinguishing characteris-tics (see 10.3).9.2 Production TestWhen required by the purchaser,
39、anexpansion joint shall be hydrostatically tested to 1.5 times itsmaximum allowable working pressure at its rated maximumoperating temperature (see 10.2).10. Test Methods10.1 Burst TestFill each joint to be tested with waterbefore the application of pressure, allowing all air in the jointto escape.
40、Apply pressure at a uniform rate until failure of thejoint occurs. Consider the pressure at which any fluid leakagefirst occurs as the bursting pressure of the joint. The maximumallowable working pressure of the joint shall be less than orequal to14 the bursting pressure determined by this test.10.2
41、 Hydrostatic TestFill each joint to be tested withwater before the application of pressure, allowing all air in thejoint to escape. Apply pressure at a uniform rate up to the testpressure. The joint shall show no sign of leakage at the testpressure.10.3 Flame Resistance TestTest four specimens of th
42、ejoint,12 by 6 in. (12.7 by 152.4 mm) by the thickness of theexpansion joint, in accordance with 30 CFR 18.65(b) through(d). Consider the expansion joint flame resistant if the tests ofthe four specimens meet the test requirements in 30 CFR18.65(e).11. Inspection11.1 Inspection of the material shall
43、 be agreed upon be-tween the purchaser and the supplier as part of the purchasecontract.12. Certification12.1 When specified in the purchase order or contract, themanufacturers certification shall be furnished to the purchaserstating that samples representing each lot have beenmanufactured, tested,
44、and inspected in accordance with thisspecification and the requirements have been met. Whenspecified in the purchase order or contract, a report of the testresults shall be furnished.12.2 When specified in the purchase order or contract, acertified drawing detailing the expansion joint shall be pro-
45、vided.13.
