ASTM-C1540 › Standard Specification for Heavy-Duty Shielded Couplings Joining Hubless Cast Iron Soil Pipe and Fittings
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
This specification covers the performance evaluation of heavy duty shielded couplings to join hubless cast iron soil pipe and fittings. Physical properties of all stainless steel and gaskets shall comply with the specified values. Requirements for the elastomeric gasket, clamp assembly, and couplings such as coupling width are detailed. The test apparatus for deflection test, shear test, and unrestrained hydrostatic joint test are illustrated.
Scope
1.1 This specification covers the evaluation of the performance of heavy-duty shielded couplings to join hubless cast iron soil pipe and fittings.
1.2 Couplings covered by this standard shall have nominal dimensions as found in Table 1 and Fig. 1.
