1、Designation: C 990 06Standard Specification forJoints for Concrete Pipe, Manholes, and Precast BoxSections Using Preformed Flexible Joint Sealants1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 990; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in
2、 the case of 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.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers joints for precast concrete pipeand box, and other secti
3、ons using preformed flexible jointsealants for use in storm sewers and culverts which are notintended to operate under internal pressure, or are not subjectto infiltration or exfiltration limits. Joint material used inhorizontal applications is intended to prevent the flow of solidsthrough the joint
4、.1.2 For precast concrete manhole sections and other verticalstructures, which are subject to internal or external pressure,infiltration or exfiltration limits are not prohibited from beingspecified. Joints in vertical structures covered by this specifi-cation are intended mainly to prevent the flow
5、 of solids orfluids through the joint.1.3 This specification is to be used with pipe and structuresconforming in all respects to Specifications C 14, C 76, C 478,C 506, C 507, C 655, C 985, and C 1433, provided that if thereis a conflict in permissible variations in dimensions, therequirements of th
6、is specification shall govern.1.4 This specification is the companion to SI specificationC 990M; therefore, no SI equivalents are shown in thisspecification.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user o
7、f this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.NOTE 1This specification covers the material and performance of thejoint and sealant only. Infiltration and exfiltration quantities for installedsections are
8、dependent on factors other than the joints which must becovered by other specifications and suitable testing of the installedpipeline.2.

Performance Requirements for Joints10.1 T
42、he sections shall be tested hydrostatically in verticalalignment and a sufficient number of sections shall be as-sembled in straight alignment to develop a pressure of at least10 psi for 10 minutes at the test joint. Alternate test methodsare acceptable as long as the designated internal hydrostatic

Moisture orbeads of water appearing on the joint will not be considered asleakage.10.2 The user of this specification is advised tha
44、t thehydrostatic test is intended only for use as a quality control test,and not as a simulated service test. The 10 psi pressure criterionfor sections should not be considered an indication of thehydrostatic pressure capability of the joint and sealant underinstalled conditions. Field tests for com
