1、Designation: C1244M 11 (Reapproved 2017)Standard Test Method forConcrete Sewer Manholes by the Negative Air Pressure(Vacuum) Test Prior to Backfill (Metric)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1244M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adop
2、tion or, in 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 test method covers procedures for testing precastconcrete manhole s
3、ections when using the vacuum test methodto demonstrate the integrity of the installed materials and theconstruction procedures. This test method is used for testingconcrete manhole sections utilizing mortar, mastic, or gasketedjoints.1.2 This test method is intended to be used as a preliminarytest
4、to enable the installer to demonstrate the condition of theconcrete manholes prior to backfill. Users are hereby cautionedthat misuse or misapplication of the test criteria containedherein can cause permanent damage to the system being tested.NOTE 1Vacuum test criteria presented in this test method
5、are similarto those in general use. The test and criteria have been widely andsuccessfully used in testing manholes.NOTE 2It should be understood that no correlation has been foundbetween vacuum (air) and hydrostatic tests.1.3 This test method is the companion to inch-pound TestMethod C1244.1.4 This
6、 standard does not purport to address all of thesafety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 This international
7、standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
