ASTM C 1214 Document Information:
Title
Standard Test Method for Concrete Pipe Sewerlines by Negative Air Pressure (Vacuum) Test Method
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Aug 10, 2002
Scope:
This test method covers procedures for testing concrete pipe
sewerlines, when using the negative
air pressure (vacuum) test method to demonstrate the integrity of the
installed material and the
construction procedures. This test method covers testing of 4 to
36-in. diameter circular concrete
pipe sewerlines utilizing gasketed joints.
NOTE 1 - The user of this test method is advised that methods
described herein may also be used as
a preliminary test to enable the manufacturer or installer to
demonstrate the condition of sewer
pipe prior to delivery or backfill. Minimum test times presented in
Table 1 are for pipelines.
Holding times for testing an individual pipe may have to be increased
to allow for the accumulation
of leakage when the tested pipe are incorporated into a continuous
pipeline.
A complete metric companion to Test Method C 1214 has been developed -
C 1214M; therefore, no
metric equivalents are presented in this test method.
NOTE 2 - The user of this test method is advised that the negative air
pressure (vacuum) test
criteria presented in this test method are similar to those in general
use. The test and criteria
have been used widely and successfully in testing smaller diameter
pipe. Larger pipe will be
accepted more conveniently by visual inspection and individual joint
testing.
NOTE 3 - The user of this test method is advised that no correlation
has been found between loss of
vacuum and water leakage.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use. See
Section 6 for specific safety precautions.
