ASTM F1069-87(1999)

Standard Specification for Doors, Watertight, Gastight/Airtight and Weathertight, Individually Dogged, for Marine Use

SCOPE
1.1 This specification, to be used in conjunction with Specification F1073, covers the principal dimensions and the mechanical requirements for manufacturing steel, aluminum, and glass-reinforced plastic, individually dogged, watertight, gastight/airtight and weathertight doors, for personnel access through bulkheads, complete with frames, for marine use intended to maintain the structural and tightness integrity of bulkheads.  
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.  
1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains to the test method portion, Section 8, of this specification:  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.
