Standard Specification for Poly (Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) Gaskets for Drain, Waste, and Vent (DWV), Sewer, Sanitary, and Storm Plumbing Systems
Also Known As:
The ASTM D5926-15 (R2020) standard is a specification that outlines the material and physical requirements for poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) gaskets used in drain, waste, and vent (DWV), sewer, sanitary, and storm plumbing systems. These gaskets are designed to be used with mechanical couplings that join various sizes and types of piping.
The standard covers both virgin and recycled materials, with specific guidelines for testing and evaluating the gaskets' properties. Some of the properties tested include durometer hardness, tensile strength, volatile loss, brittleness temperature, heat aging effects, water absorption, cracks and ozone resistance, volume changes after oil immersion, stress relaxation, and force retention.
This standard ensures that the PVC gaskets meet the necessary requirements for performance and durability in plumbing systems. Compliance with the specified property requirements ensures that the gaskets will effectively seal and join pipes, preventing leaks and maintaining the integrity of the plumbing system.
