scope:

This standard describes bolted, split-sleeve couplings (couplings) used to join plain-end pipe of similar outside diameter. Couplings may be manufactured from carbon steel or stainless steel and are intended for use in systems conveying water, wastewater, or air used in water treatment. This standard covers nominal pipe sizes from ¾ in. (20 mm) through 144 in. (3,600 mm).

Purpose

The purpose of this standard is to provide the minimum requirements for bolted, split-sleeve couplings for plain-end pipe, including requirements for materials, design, testing and inspection, installation, marking, and shipping.
