15、he 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 joints of the box shall be of such design that theywill withstand the forces caused by the compressi
16、on 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 the spigot or tonguewhere the gasket seats shall be not more than 3.5 measuredfrom the pipe axis, e
17、xcept 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 position and seat the gasket.6.1.5 The space between the gasket-bearing surfaces of theassembled and cent
18、ered 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 gasket height. Theminimum off-center gasket deformation of the assembled jointat design closure shall n
19、ot 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 causing the deforma-tion of the gasket to be less than 10 %. Where greaterdeflections are required t
20、han 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 be a continuous shape which fits snugly into the annularspace between the overlapping surfaces of
21、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 the use of a lubricant to facilitate assembly, thelubricant composition shall have no detrimental
22、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 design.6.2 Alternative Joint DesignsWhen agreed upon by theowner, manufacturers are not prohibited
23、 from submitting to theowner detailed designs for joints and gaskets other than thosedescribed in Section 6. Design submissions shall include jointgeometry, tolerances, gasket characteristics, gasket deforma-tion, proposed plant tests, gasket splice bend tests, and suchother information as required
24、by the owner to evaluate the jointdesign for field performance. Joints and gaskets of alternativejoint designs shall at least meet all test requirements of thisspecification if permitted by the owner. Alternative jointdesigns shall be acceptable provided the designs are approvedby the owner prior to
