The values stated in parentheses are provided forinformation only.1.3 WarningBreathing of asbestos dust is hazardous.Asbestos and asbestos products present demonstrated healthrisks for users and for those w
4、ith whom they come into contact.In addition to other precautions, when working with asbestos-cement products, minimize the dust that results. For informa-tion on the safe use of chrysoltile asbestos, refer to “Safe Useof Chrysotile Asbestos: A Manual on Preventive and ControlMeasures.”21.4 This stan

Mechanical Properties7.1 Flexural Strength:7.1.1 Each 3 or 4-m (10 or 13-ft) standard length and each2.9 m (9.5 ft) or longer random length conduit shall havesufficient flexural strength to withstand, without failure, thetotal load prescribed in Table 1, wh
23、en tested in accordance with7.1.1.1.7.1.1.1 The specimen shall be mounted longitudinally on“V” blocks, preferably of hard wood or of steel, 5 cm (2 in.)long, 2 rad (120) angle of “V,” faces 13 5 cm (5 2 in.), andthe load applied through a rectangular block, 5 cm (2 in.) inwidth, at the center of the
24、 span. The spans between the faces ofsupporting blocks shall be as given in Table 1 for the particularclass of conduit. The breaking loads, the average of at least twospecimens from each length, shall not be less than those givenin Table 1 for the particular class of conduit.7.2 Crushing StrengthCru
25、shing tests shall be conductedbefore shipment. Thirty-centimetre (1-ft) lengths of conduit cutfrom the unmachined portion of the conduit shall have theminimum crushing strength prescribed in Table 2, when testedin accordance with Test Methods C500.8. Dimensions, Mass, and Permissible Variations8.1 T
26、he average inside diameter measured at the end of theconduit shall be 63mm(60.1 in.) of the nominal insidediameter.8.2 The bore of the conduit shall pass freely through amandrel 1 m (3 ft) long and 6 mm (0.25 in.) less in diameterthan the nominal inside diameter of the conduit.8.3 The inner dimensio
27、ns of the bends shall be such that aball 1 cm (0.4 in.) less in diameter than the nominal insidediameter of the conduit, shall pass freely through them.8.4 Couplings and coupling areas of the conduit shall bemachined or otherwise finished to such dimensions as willprovide silt-tight joints when asse
28、mbled with proper accesso-ries and put into the service for which the conduit is intended.8.5 The standard lengths of conduit shall be 1.5, 2, 3, or 4 m6 2.5 cm (5, 6.5, 10, or 13 ft 6 1 in.).At least 85 % of the totallength of any one class, type, and size shall be furnished instandard lengths. The
29、 remaining 15 % may be in randomlengths if not less than 1.5 m (5 ft) for standard 3 and 4-m (10and 13-ft) lengths, or less than1m(3ft)forstandard 2 and1.5-m (6.5 and 5 ft) lengths.9. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance9.1 Machined ends of the conduit that receive the couplingshall be free of dents
30、and gouges that will affect the silt-tightness of the joint.9.2 Each conduit shall be free of bulges, dents, and tears onthe inside surface that result in a variation of more than 5 mm(0.2 in.) from the adjacent unaffected portions of the surface.TABLE 1 Flexural Strength RequirementsNominal Inner D

The ends of each length of conduit shall be at rightangles to the axis of the conduit.10. Sampling10.1 Test all material under this specification in a normalair-dried condition in equ
33、ilibrium with atmospheric humidity.10.2 For the flexural test, two specimens shall be cut fromone full length of conduit from each lot.10.2.1 Warningsee 1.3.10.3 For the crushing test, two specimens shall be cut fromone full length of conduit from each lot.10.4 When uncombined calcium hydroxide test
34、s are re-quested (Section 6), one sample shall be taken from each lot ofconduit. The sample to be tested may be taken from any one ofthe specimens selected for the crushing test.11. Inspection11.1 All material furnished under this specification shallconform to the physical and chemical requirements
35、statedherein and may be subject to factory inspection by thepurchaser. All conduit shall be inspected by the manufacturerfor compliance to dimensional tolerances and workmanship.The manufacturer shall accept to certify that his productconforms to the requirements of this specification.11.2 On orders
36、 requiring inspection by the purchaser, themanufacturer shall arrange the time of testing so that thepurchaser or his authorized inspector may be present to witnesssuch tests at the purchasers expense. The conduit to be testedwill already have passed the routine inspection and testing ofthis specifi
37、cation. The number of tests to be conducted forflexural strength and crushing strength shall be limited to amaximum of one sample per each 1000 standard lengths ofeach size, type, and class of conduit on the order. If uncom-bined calcium hydroxide tests are required, the numbers oftests shall be one
38、 for each size, type, and class of pipe on theorder. The purchaser or his authorized inspector may select theconduit to be tested.12. Rejection and Rehearing12.1 Failure of any specimen tested for flexural and crush-ing strength to withstand 75 % of the load specified in Section7 shall be cause for
39、rejection of the lot from which the testspecimen was taken. When any specimen tested for flexural orcrushing strength withstands over 75 % but under 100 % of theload specified in Section 7, one specimen shall be cut fromeach of two additional conduits of the same lot. Failure ofeither of these addit
40、ional specimens to meet the strengthrequirements of Section 7 shall be cause for rejection of theentire lot from which the original sample was taken.12.2 If the results of the uncombined calcium hydroxide testshow the sample failed to meet the specification requirements,two additional specimens shal
41、l be selected and sampled fortest. The failure of one of these two additional samples to meetthe specification requirements of Section 6 shall be cause forrejection of the lot.13. Product Marking13.1 Each standard and random length of conduit shall bemarked by the manufacturer with the trade name, n
42、ominal size,type, class, and the date of manufacture, in alkali resistant inkor indelible paint. Each carton containing coupling sleevesshall be marked by the manufacturer with the nominal size,type, and class for the conduit with which it shall be used.14. Packaging14.1 Conduit and couplings shall
43、be prepared for commer-cial shipment so as to ensure acceptance by common or othercarriers.14.2 Refer also to S1.1.15.
