1.1 本试验方法包括测定组装塑料地下导管接头所需的相对力，该接头使用位于承口中的柔性弹性密封件。 1.2 以英寸-磅为单位的数值应视为标准值。括号中给出的值是到国际单位制的数学转换，仅供参考，不被视为标准值。 1.3 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.4 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 5.1 导管连接系统的装配力是衡量导管系统是否易于在现场组装和安装的一个指标。本试验方法提供了一种量化密封导管连接系统装配力的方法。测试结果可用于比较和分类不同设计的密封导管连接系统的装配力。 5.2 本试验方法不用于质量控制试验。 5.3 该试验方法可用于根据装配力比较密封导管连接系统。使用本试验方法无法获得接头密封性能的任何信息。 5.4 本试验方法涵盖所有带推力的塑料导管- 在接头上，使用位于承口中的柔性弹性垫圈提供接头密封。 5.5 本试验方法也适用于所有由覆盖的导管制成的配件 5.4 并且使用与覆盖的导管相同类型的推入式接头 5.4 ，用于中所述的导管类型 5.4 . 就本试验方法而言，从配件母材导管试验中获得的装配力数据也应适用于配件。

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the relative force required to assemble plastic underground conduit joints that use flexible elastomeric seals located in the bell. 1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard. 1.3 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 5.1 The assembly force of a conduit joining system is one measure of the ease of which the conduit system can be assembled and installed in the field. This test method provides a means by which to quantify the assembly force of gasketed conduit joining systems. The results of the testing can be used to compare and categorize the assembly force of different designs of gasketed conduit joining systems. 5.2 This test method is not intended for use as a quality control test. 5.3 This test method can be used for comparison of gasketed conduit joining systems on the basis of assembly force. No information about joint sealing performance can be obtained from the use of this test method. 5.4 This test method covers all plastic conduit with push-on joints that use flexible elastomeric gaskets located in the bell to provide the joint seal. 5.5 This test method is also applicable to all fittings that are fabricated from conduit covered in 5.4 and that utilize the same type of push-on joints as the conduit covered in 5.4 , and that are intended for use with the conduit types described in 5.4 . For purposes of this test method, assembly force data obtained from the testing of the conduit that is the parent stock of a fitting shall apply to the fitting also.
