Description
This Standard specifies a method for testing the leaktightness of assemblies of plastics pipes and fittings with elastomeric sealing-ring socket joints or inspection openings, which may be subjected to diametric distortion and /or angular deflection.
Scope
This standard includes, but is not limited to -
- (a) single sockets on pipes,
- (b) double sockets,
- (c) sockets on fittings, and
- (d) inspection openings on fittings.
It is also applicable to elastomeric sealing-ring sockets made of other materials, e.g. ductile iron, intended for use with plastics piping.
