5、omplete metric companion to Specification C443 hasbeen developedC443M; therefore, no metric equivalents arepresented in this specification.NOTE 1This specification covers the design and performance of therubber gasket joint only. Joints covered by this specification are normallyadequate for hydrosta

15、0 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.7.1.1 The joint design shall consist of a bell or groove onone end of a unit of pipe, and a spigot or tongue on the adjacentend of the joining pipe.7.1.2 All surfaces of the joint upon or against which thegasket is cap
16、able of bearing shall be smooth, free of spalls,cracks or fractures, and imperfections that would adverselyaffect the performance of the joint.7.1.3 The joints of the pipe shall be of such design that theywill withstand the forces caused by the compression of thegasket when joined, without cracking
17、or fracturing when testedin accordance with Section 9.7.1.4 The angle of taper on the conic surfaces of the insideof the bell or groove and the outer surface of the spigot ortongue where the gasket seats shall be not more than 3.5measured from the pipe axis, except that tapers up to 5 are notprohibi
18、ted if proven adequate by plant tests as specified inSection 9 and approved by the owner. The conic surface on thespigot or tongue shall be modified to properly contain and seatthe gasket.7.1.5 The annular space between the gasket-bearing sur-faces of the assembled and centered joint shall be not mo
19、rethan 75 % of the uncompressed thickness of the applied gasketincluding the manufacturers tolerances of the joint and gasket.The joint design shall provide for the deflection of a pipe unitby opening one side of the outside perimeter of the joint12 in.wider than the assembled position without reduc
20、ing its water-tightness. Where greater deflections are required than providedby the joint design, beveled joints or elbows must be provided.7.1.6 The gasket shall be the sole element depended upon tomake the joint flexible and watertight. The gasket shall be acontinuous ring of round or profile cros
21、s-section which fitssnugly into the annular space between the overlapping surfacesof the assembled pipe joint to form a flexible watertight seal.7.1.7 The gasket shall not be stretched more than 30 % of itsoriginal circumference when seated on the spigot or tongue endof the pipe.7.1.8 Where the part
22、icular joint design utilizing a rubbergasket dictates the use of a lubricant to facilitate assembly, thelubricant composition shall have no detrimental effect on theperformance of the gasket and joint due to prolonged exposure.NOTE 2Joints in an assembled position are defined as joints in thepositio
23、n after assembly in accordance with the manufacturers design.7.2 Alternative Joint DesignsWhen agreed upon by theowner, manufacturers are not prohibited from submitting to theowner detailed designs for joints and gaskets other than thosedescribed in Section 7. Design submissions shall include jointg
24、eometry, tolerances, gasket characteristics, proposed planttests, gasket splice bend tests, and such other information asrequired by the owner to evaluate the joint design for fieldperformance. Joints and gaskets of alternative joint designsshall at least meet all test requirements of this specifica
