1、Designation: C 923 08Standard Specification forResilient Connectors Between Reinforced Concrete ManholeStructures, Pipes, and Laterals1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 923; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of
2、 revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This specific
3、ation covers the minimum performance andmaterial requirements for resilient connectors used for connec-tions between reinforced concrete manholes conforming toSpecification C 478 and pipes, between wastewater structuresand pipes, and between precast reinforced concrete pipe andlaterals.1.1.1 These c
4、onnectors are designed to minimize leakagebetween the pipe and manhole, and between the pipe andlateral.1.2 A complete metric companion to Specification C 923has been developedC 923M; therefore, no metric equivalentsare presented in this specification.NOTE 1This specification covers the design, mate
5、rial, and perfor-mance of the resilient connection only. Connections covered by thisspecification are adequate for hydrostatic pressures up to 13 psi (30 ft)without leakage when tested in accordance with Section 7. Infiltration orexfiltration quantities for an installed system are dependent upon man
6、yfactors other than the connections between manhole structures and pipe,and allowable quantities must be covered by other specifications andsuitable testing of the installed pipeline and system.1.3 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest methods portion, Section 7, of this specif
7、ication: Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the userof this standard to establish appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use. For a specif

Materials and Manufacture4.1 All materials shall conform to the following require-ments:4.
17、1.1 Resilient materials for connectors and filler rings shallbe manufactured from natural or synthetic rubber and shallconform to the requirements prescribed in Table 1. If a spliceis used in the manufacture of the seal, its strength shall be suchthat the seal shall withstand a 180 bend with no visi
18、bleseparation.4.2 Mechanical DevicesExpansion rings, tension bands,and take-up devices used for mechanically compressing theresilient portion of the connector against the pipe, manhole orwastewater structure shall be made from a material or materialsin combination that will ensure durability, streng
19、th, resistanceto corrosion, and have properties that will ensure continuedresistance to leakage. All metallic mechanical devices, includ-ing castings and bolt assemblies used to mechanically deformresilient materials shall be constructed of corrosion resistantmaterials meeting the physical propertie
20、s and chemical com-position requirements of Specifications A 493 and A 666, Type302 through Type 316.NOTE 3Experience has shown that successful performance of thisproduct depends on the type of bedding and backfill and the care in thefield installation of the manhole or wastewater structure and conn
21、ectingpipes. The owner is cautioned to require inspection at the construction site.5. Principles of Design5.1 The design of the connector shall be such that positiveseal is accomplished at two locations: (1) between the connec-tor and the wall of the manhole or wastewater structure and (2) between t
22、he connector and the pipe. The seal between theconnector and the wall of the manhole or wastewater structureshall be made by either mechanical means, compression of theresilient material between the outside surface of the pipe andthe pipe opening in the wall of the manhole or wastewaterstructure, or
23、 by casting the connector integrally with the wall ofthe manhole or wastewater structure. The seal between theconnector and the pipe shall be made by mechanical means orby compression of the resilient material against the outside ofthe pipe. Resilient filler rings are not prohibited from beingused b
24、etween the pipe and the connector to provide a seal.Whichever design is used, it shall be capable of maintaining aresilient, hydrostatic seal under the performance conditions inaccordance with Section 7. Devices used to effect mechanicalseals shall conform to the requirements specified in Section 4.
25、5.2 For lateral to pipe connectors, the design of the connec-tor shall be such that a positive seal is accomplished at twolocations: (1) between the connector and the pipe wall and (2)between the connector and the lateral. The seal between theconnector and the pipe wall shall be made by either mecha
26、nicalmeans, compression, or by casting the connector integrallywith the pipe wall. The seal between the connector and thelateral shall be made by either mechanical means or bycompression of the resilient material against the outside of thepipe. Resilient filler rings are not prohibited from being us
27、edbetween the lateral and the connector to provide a seal.Connector design must not allow either lateral or connector toextend past the cylindrical plane of the pipe inside diameter.The connector shall be capable of maintaining a resilienthydrostatic seal under the performance conditions in accor-da
28、nce with Section 7. Devices used to effect mechanical sealsshall conform to the requirements specified in Section 4.5.3 Purchaser shall require that all pipe stubs installed, toallow for future connection to the manhole or wastewaterstructure, be mechanically restrained from movement bymeans of, and
29、 in addition to, the resilient connectors.6. Basis of Acceptance6.1 For diameter 36 in. and smaller, at least one connectorshall be tested for each 6 in. increment in diameter. Fordiameters larger than 36 in., at least one connector shall betested for each 12 in. increment in diameter.TABLE 1 Resili

Thereafter, the hardness shall comply within the tolerancesin Table 1.C9230826.2 The acceptability of the resilient connector shall bedetermined by the results of
34、the physical tests prescribed in thisspecification, if and where required, and by inspection, todetermine whether the connector conforms to the specificationwith regards to design and freedom from defects.6.3 When requested, a current certification shall be fur-nished as the basis of acceptance. The
35、 certification shall consistof the connector manufacturers test report, or statement by themanufacturer, accompanied by a copy of the test results, thatthe resilient connector has been tested and inspected inaccordance with the provisions of Section 4 and Section 7.Each certification so furnished sh
36、all be signed by the connectormanufacturer or an authorized agent.NOTE 4Certification shall be deemed current, if it represents presentdesign, and bears a date that is no more than five years older than thecurrent date.7.
