Standard Specification for Joints for Concrete Gravity Flow Sewer Pipe, Using Rubber Gaskets
Also Known As:
The ASTM C1628-19 standard specifies the requirements for joints used in concrete gravity flow sewer pipes, where measurable or defined infiltration or exfiltration is taken into account during the design. The standard outlines the use of rubber gaskets for sealing the joints and provides guidelines for their fabrication. The gaskets are made from a rubber compound, which can be natural rubber, synthetic rubber, or a blend of both.
The specification covers two types of gasket designs: circular cross-section or "O-ring" gaskets, and non-circular cross-section or "profile" gaskets. These gaskets are manufactured in specific sizes and dimensions to meet the design requirements of the joints. The joints themselves are evaluated based on their performance in hydrostatic and structural tests.
It is important to note that this standard focuses on the design, material, and performance of the rubber gasket joints only. The infiltration or exfiltration quantities of an installed pipeline are influenced by various factors beyond the joints, and these quantities must be addressed by other specifications and suitable testing of the entire pipeline system.
