Clamp Assembly Requirements6.1 Clamp assemblies shall be tested to withstand no lessthan 125 % of the manufacturer stated installation torque 60lb/in. minimum (6.78 N-m) of applied torque whichever isgreater without visible signs of failure. The clamp a
14、ssemblyshall be tested over a steel mandrel sized within the range ofthe clamp and torqued as required.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A04 on IronCastings .Current edition approved Oct. 1, 2008.

Coupling Requirements and Test Methods7.1 Assemble each coupling tested in accordance with themanufacturers instructions between two sections
17、 of randomlyselected pipe not to exceed 20 ft in length manufactured toappropriate standards for the type of pipe the couplings areexpected to join, and conduct the following tests:7.1.1 Deflection Test Mount each coupling tested betweentwo pieces of pipe as provided in 7.1. Close the out bound ends
18、of the pipe with test plugs. Fill the assembly with water, expelall air, and hydrostatically pressurize to 4.3 psi for the durationof the test. Rigidly support one pipe while the assembly isunder pressure, raise the opposite end of the other pipe one-halfinch per lineal foot of pipe. Maintain the pr
19、essure for 5 min anddo not permit leakage. A test apparatus such as the one shownin Fig. 1 is suggested.7.1.2 Shear TestFill the assembly with water, expel all air,and hydrostatically pressurize to 4.3 psi for the duration of thetest. Support two joined lengths of pipe selected in accordancewith 7.1
20、 on blocks at three locations. Support one length onblocks, one near the uncoupled end, and the other immediatelyadjacent to the couplings. Firmly restrain this length in position(see Fig. 2). Support the other coupled length by a single blockat the end of the pipe. Apply a load of 50 lb/in. of nomi
21、naldiameter at a point 6 in. from the edge of the coupling upon a12-in. length of (3 by 3) angle iron or load distributing padlocated on the top of the pipe immediately adjacent to thecoupling of the pipe having one support only. When testingreducing couplings, apply the load to the reduced size. Un
22、derthis loading there shall be no visible leakage displacement ofmore than38 in. from true alignment when an internal pressureequivalent to a 10-ft head of water (4.3 psi) is applied.Maintain the load and internal pressure 15 min and do notpermit leakage.7.2 Unrestrained Hydrostatic Joint Test:7.2.1
23、 Each coupling tested shall be assembled in accor-dance with the manufacturers instructions between two sec-tions of machined steel pipe and conduct the unrestrainedhydrostatic joint test.7.2.2 The plain ends of the pipe to be used shall bemachined to the correct nominal outside diameter of the type
24、sof pipe for which the coupling is intended to join. Plain endsshall have 0.015 in. (2 mm) deep grooves machined circum-ferentially around them at 0.125 in. (3.2 mm) intervals downthe pipe section for a distance equal to that covered by theelastomeric sleeve. The tool used to machine the grooves sha
25、llhave a 60 included angle and shall cut into the pipe from aperpendicular position. The surface between the grooves shallbe a lathe turned surface of 125 RMS. The plain ends of thepipe are to be uncoated and shall be cleaned with acetone andthoroughly dried before each assembly.7.2.3 Fill the pipe
26、assembly with water, expelling all air andincrease the hydrostatic pressure at a rate of 1 psi (6.9 kPa)every 30 s until the target test pressure is reached. The targettest pressure shall be 20 psi (138 kPa) for 112 through 5-in.pipe, 18 psi (124 kPa) for 6-in. pipe, 10 psi (69 kPa) for 8-in.pipe, a
27、nd 6 psi (41.4 kPa) for 10-in. pipe. When the targetpressure is reached, it shall be held for 10 min. Any leakage oraxial joint movement of more than 0.150 in. (3.8 mm) shallmean failure.7.2.4 Support the pipe assemblies in a manner that does notrestrain joint movement as shown in Fig. 3.8. Markings
28、 and Identification8.1 Each clamp assembly and gasket shall be permanentlymarked with the manufacturers name or U.S. registeredtrademark, country of origin, and the pipe size and class forwhich it is designed.8.2 Each clamp assembly shall be labeled or permanentlymarked as to the material(s) for whi
29、ch it is intended. The labelor marking shall be visible after installation.FIG. 1 Deflection TestC1460082FIG. 2 Shear Test1. Pressure Regulator2. Pressure Gauge, 1 psi increments, 0-100 PSI3.
