Abstract

This document specifies a test method for determining the leak tightness of elastomeric sealing ring type joints for buried thermoplastics non-pressure piping systems.

Unless otherwise specified in the referring standard, the tests are carried out at the following basic test pressures:

— p1: internal negative air pressure (partial vacuum);

— p2: a low internal hydrostatic pressure;

— p3: a higher internal hydrostatic pressure.

It also describes the following four test conditions under which the tests are performed:

a) Condition A: without any additional diametric or angular deflection;

b) Condition B: with diametric deflection;

c) Condition C: with angular deflection;

d) Condition D: with simultaneous angular and diametric deflection.

The applicable selection of the test pressure(s) and the test condition(s) is specified in the referring standard
