scope:

This standard describes the selection and installation requirements for field-applied, mechanical, internal pipe joint seal assemblies for water service. Internal joint sealing is a method of in situ pipe joint rehabilitation that is used to correct leaking pipe joints; to strengthen weak joints or localized wall pitting and other structural defects at joints; to seal leaks at cracks; to prevent exfiltration or infiltration; or used in concert with other non-joint specific methods of pipe rehabilitation (cement-mortar lining, cured-in-place pipe lining, etc.).

Purpose

The purpose of this standard is to provide the minimum requirements for selection and installation of internal pipe joint seal assemblies, including materials, dimensions, tolerances, and testing/verification procedures.
