1、Designation: D 3212 07An American National StandardStandard Specification forJoints for Drain and Sewer Plastic Pipes Using FlexibleElastomeric Seals1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3212; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or
2、, in 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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1
3、.1 This specification covers joints for plastic pipe systemsintended for drain, and gravity sewerage pipe at internal orexternal pressures less than 25-ft head using flexible watertightelastomeric seals. This specification is intended to cover thetest requirements, test methods, and acceptable mater
4、ials. Thetest methods described for the joints are not intended to beroutine quality control tests but to be reliability or performancerequirements.1.2 The text of this specification references notes, footnotes,and appendixes which provide explanatory material. Thesenotes and footnotes (excluding th
5、ose in tables and figures) shallnot be considered as requirements of the specification.1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to thetest method portion, paragraph 7.5, of this specification: Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any, associated with it
6、s 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.2.

Materials4.1 Material used for elastomeric seal in push-on jointsshall meet the requirements of either Specification F 477 orF 913.4.2 Lubricant, if required, shall be suitable for lubricatingthe parts of the joints in the assembly. The lubricant shall haveno deteriorating effects on the gas
10、ket and pipe materials.5. General Requirements5.1 Joints shall not leak when subjected to the internal andexternal hydrostatic tests of Section 7 for a period of 10 min.5.2 All surfaces of the joint upon or against which thegasket bears shall be smooth and free of cracks, fractures, orimperfections.
11、5.3 DrawingsThe manufacturer shall furnish drawingsof the joint and gasket if requested by the purchaser.5.4 The gasket shall be the sole element depended upon tomake the joint flexible and watertight. The gasket shall be acontinuous elastomeric ring.5.5 In mechanical joints, the pipe spigot shall h

Where greaterdeflections are required than permitted by
13、 the joint design,suitable fittings must be provided.5.7 The joint components shall be of such design that theywill withstand the forces caused by the compression of the1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on PlasticPiping Systems and is the direct responsibility of Su

Dimensions and Tolerances6.1 Dimensions of the joint components shall be in accor-dance with the manufacturers standard design dimensions andtolerances. Such dimensions shall be gaged at sufficientlyfrequent intervals to assure
17、dimensional control and satisfac-tory joint assembly. The method for measuring these dimen-sions shall be in accordance with Test Method D 2122.6.2 Gasket dimensions shall be in accordance with themanufacturers standard design dimensions and tolerances.The gasket shall be of such size and shape as t
18、o provide anadequate compressive force against the spigot and socket afterassembly, to effect a positive seal under all combinations ofjoint and gasket tolerances, when tested in accordance withSection 7.7. Joint Qualification Requirements7.1 Assemble a piece of pipe into a bell or fitting as showni
19、n Fig. 1. Seal the openings, using either solvent cement capsas shown, or mechanical sealing devices. The gasket shall belubricated as instructed by the manufacturer. Use water in theabsence of other lubricants.7.2 Perform the pressure and vacuum tests as described in7.5 on two properly joined pipes
20、 in straight alignment.7.3 Deflect the joint to the maximum angular misalignmentspecified by the manufacturer. With the joint deflected, performpressure and vacuum tests described in 7.5.7.4 Using the test fixture shown in Fig. 2, commencemeasuring deflection when the load contacts the top of thepip
21、e. Apply further load until the point of load application hasmoved downward 5 % of the pipe outside diameter. Hold thisposition and perform the tests described in 7.5.NOTE 1The 5 % deflection criterion, which was arbitrarily selectedfor testing convenience, should not be considered as a limitation w
22、ithrespect to in-use deflection.7.5 Test Methods:NOTE 2It is acceptable to perform the vacuum and pressure tests inany order. As an option to seat the gasket, or in referee testing if agreedby all parties, the sequence of tests may be pressure, vacuum, pressure foreach condition in 7.2, 7.3, and 7.4
23、.7.5.1 Internal Pressure TestFill the assembly with water.External restraints should be provided in the test equipment toprevent separation of the gasket joint under pressure. Apply apressure of 74 kPa (10.8 psi) (gage) (25-ft head) for 10 min.Visible leaks in the gasket joint constitute a failure.7
24、.5.2 Vacuum Test Fill the assembly with air only.Applya vacuum of 74 kPa (22 in. Hg). Close the valve and removethe vacuum line. Allow the assembly to stand for 10 min tocheck for leaks before testing. The internal pressure shall notchange more than 3 kPa (1 in. Hg). Perform the test required,noting
25、 the internal pressure after the test condition is attainedand again 10 min later. The internal pressure shall not changemore than 17 kPa (5 in. Hg) during this second 10-min period.8. Retest and Rejection8.1 If the results of any test(s) do not meet the requirementsof this specification, the test(s
26、) shall be conducted again onlyby agreement between the purchaser and the seller. Under suchagreement, minimum requirements shall not be lowered, nortests omitted, substituted, changed, or modified, nor shallspecification limits be changed. If upon retest, failure occurs,the quantity of product repr
27、esented by the test(s) does not meetthe requirements of this specification.9.
