1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers materials and test requirements for compression joints for vitrified clay pipe and fittings. See Specification C 700 for pipe specifications. The test requirements are applicable to pipe joint assemblies prior to field installation of pipe.
1.2 Terminology C 896 can be used for clarification of terminology in this specification.
1.3 In developing the metric conversions used in the standards under the jurisdiction of Committee C-4, recognition has been made of the variable nature of clays, so that neither "soft" nor "hard" conversions, as they are defined in Practice E 380, have been made. For example, the inch is considered to be 25 mm instead of 25.4 mm.
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
NOTE-Pipe should he installed in accordance with Practice C 12.
1.5 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the Test Requirements portion, Section 7, of this standard. 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 applicabi/ity of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard.
NOTE-Attention is called to Specification C425, Test Method C 828, Test Methods C 301, and Terminology C 896.
1.3 In developing the metric conversions used in the standards under the jurisdiction of Committee C-4, recognition has been made of the variable nature of clays, so that neither "soft" nor "hard" conversions, as they are defined in Practice F 380, have been made. For example, the inch is considered to be 25 mm instead of 25.4 mm.
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.5 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the Test Method portion, 5.2 through 5.2.3.2 of this standard: This standard does not purport to address all of the saftety 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.

1. Scope
1.1 This specification establishes the criteria for the manufacture, quality assurance testing, inspection, installation, field acceptance testing, and product marking of vitrified clay pipe to be used in jacking, sliplining, in casings, and in tunnels for the conveyance of sewage, industrial wastes, and storm water.
1.1.1 Sections 3 through 6, and 8 of this specification contain manufacturing, quality assurance testing, inspection, and product marking criteria which are applicable to vitrified clay pipe prior to installation.
1.1.2 Section 7 of this specification contains criteria for the installation and field acceptance testing of vitrified clay pipe.
1.2 This specification also covers materials and test requirements for jointing of the pipe.
1.3 This specification is the companion to SI Specification C 1208M; therefore, no SI equivalents are shown in this specification.
1.4 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.

1. Scope
1.1 These test methods cover the equipment for, and the techniques of, testing vitrified clay pipe prior to installation. Tests using whole pipe determines the resistance to crushing and hydrostatic forces. Tests using pipe fragments measure the amount of water absorption of the pipe body and the quantity of acid-soluble material that may be extracted from it.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values stated in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address the safety problems, 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.
NOTE 1-The following standards also apply to clay pipe and can be referenced for further information: Practice C 12 and Test Method C 828; Specifications C 425 and C 700.
"Extracted, with permission, from C 301, Standard Test Methods for Vitrified Clay Pipe, copyright American Society for testing and Materials (ASTM), 100 Barr Harbor Drive, West Conshohocken, PA 19428."
1. Scope
1 This test method defines procedures for testing vitrified clay pipe lines, using low-pressure air, to demonstrate the structural integrity of the installed line.
1.2 This test method shall be performed on lines after connection laterals, if any, have been plugged and braced adequately to withstand the test pressure, and after the trenches have been backfilled for a sufficient time to generate a significant portion of the ultimate trench load on the pipeline. The time between completion of the backfill operation and low-pressure air testing shall be determined by the approving authority.
1.3 This test method may also be used as a preliminary test, which enables the installer to demonstrate the condition of the line prior to backfill and further construction activities.
1.4 This test method is suitable for testing gravity-flow sewer pipe constructed of vitrified clay or combinations of clay and other pipe materials.
1.5 Definitions C 896, is to be used for clarification of terminology in this test method.
1.6 In developing the metric conversions used in the standards under the jurisdiction of Committee C-4, recognition has been made of the variable nature of clays, so that neither "soft" nor "hard" conversions, as they are defined in Practice E 380, have been made. For example, the inch is considered to be 25 mm instead of 25.4 mm.
1.7 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard.
