40、fCISPI-301 or Specification A 888 and conduct the followingtest: deflection and shear. In addition, an unrestrained hydro-static test will be performed between two sections of machinedsteel pipe.7.1.1 Deflection Test:7.1.1.1 A test apparatus such as the one shown in Fig. 5 issuggested. Other testing
41、 apparati that provide restraint to theassembly shall also be permitted. Close the outboard ends ofthe pipe with test plugs.7.1.1.2 Fill the assembly with water, expel all air, andhydrostatically pressurize to 4.3 psi (29.6 kPa) for the durationof the test. One pipe shall be rigidly supported and wh
42、ile theassembly is under pressure, raise the opposite end of the otherpipe12 in. (12.7 mm) per lineal foot of pipe. Maintain thepressure for 5 min. Any leakage shall mean failure.7.1.2 Shear Test:7.1.2.1 Support two joined lengths of randomly selectedhubless cast iron soil pipe on blocks, a minimum
43、of 112 in.(38.1 mm) high, at three locations. One length shall be aminimum of 24 in. (609.6 mm) in length, supported on blocks,one near the uncoupled end, and the other immediatelyadjacent to the couplings. Firmly restrain this length in positionas shown in Fig. 6. The other coupled length shall be
44、aminimum of 5 ft (1.52 m) in length and supported by a singleblock 6 in. (152.4 mm) from the end of the pipe.7.1.2.2 Fill the assembly with water and expel all air. Applya load of 50 lb/in. of nominal diameter at a point 6 in. (152.4mm) from the edge of the coupling upon a 12 in. (304.8 mm)length of
