Materials and Manufacture4.1 All materials shall conform to the following require-ments:4.1.1 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 us
17、ed in the manufacture of the seal, its strength shall be suchthat the seal shall withstand a 180 bend with no visibleseparation.4.2 Mechanical DevicesExpansion rings, tension bands,and take-up devices used for mechanically compressing theresilient portion of the connector against the pipe or manhole
18、shall be made from a material or materials in combination thatwill ensure durability, strength, resistance to corrosion, andhave properties that will ensure continued resistance to leak-age. All metallic mechanical devices and bolt assemblies usedto mechanically deform resilient materials shall be c
19、onstructedof corrosion resistant materials meeting the physical propertiesand chemical composition requirements of SpecificationsA 493 and A 666, Type 302 through Type 316.NOTE 3Experience has shown that successful performance of thisproduct depends on the type of bedding and backfill and the care i
20、n thefield installation of the manhole and connecting pipes. The owner iscautioned 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 ma
21、nhole or wastewater structure and (2)between the 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
22、wall of the manhole or wastewaterstructure, or 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 fi
23、ller rings are not prohibited from beingused between 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 confo
24、rm to the requirements specified in Section 4.5.2 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 a
25、nd the pipe wall shall be made by either mechanicalmeans, 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
26、 filler rings are not prohibited from being usedbetween 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 sea
27、l under the performance conditions in accor-dance with Section 7. Devices used to effect mechanical sealsshall conform to the requirements specified in Section 4.5.3 Pipe StubsOwners shall require that all pipe stubsinstalled, to allow for future connections to manhole structures,be mechanically res
28、trained from movement by means otherthan, and in addition to, the resilient connectors.6. Basis of Acceptance6.1 For diameter 900 mm and smaller, at least one connectorshall be tested for each 150 mm increment in diameter. Fordiameters larger than 900 mm, at least one connector shall betested for ea
29、ch 300 mm increment in diameter.6.2 The acceptability of the resilient connector shall bedetermined by the results of the physical tests prescribed in thisspecification, if and where required, and by inspection, toTABLE 1 Resilient Material TestsTest Test RequirementsAASTM Test MethodChemical resist
