(Specification)Standard Specification for Sliding Watertight Door Assemblies
Standard Specification for Sliding Watertight Door Assemblies
ABSTRACT
This specification covers the design, manufacture, and testing of sliding watertight door assemblies intended to ensure the watertight integrity of personnel access openings in watertight bulkheads. Sliding watertight doors consist of four types: type IA - horizontal doors, type IB - vertical doors, type IIA - horizontal doors, and type IIB - vertical doors. Watertight doors consist of three classes: class 1 - doors that are hinged and dogged, class 2 - sliding doors that are operable both locally and remotely by hand gear, and class 3 - sliding doors that are operable both locally and remotely by hand and by power. Hydrostatic test and visual examination shall be performed to meet the requirements prescribed.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the design, manufacture, and testing of sliding watertight door assemblies intended to ensure the watertight integrity of personnel access openings in watertight 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.

incorporates details that have been demonstrated such as by a fire test on a similar door with smaller dimensions, to prevent the
passage of smoke and flame.Also, a separate pressure test to determine continued watertightness after the standard fire test is not
required.
6.3.3 Assembles shall be designed in such a manner that the replaceable interface will be protected from damage when the door
is in the open position.
6.4 Sliding watertight door assemblies shall be designed to provide sufficient allowance or means of adjustment to maintain the

6.7.2 The door panel and stiffener assembly shall have a maximum deflection of span/240.
6.7.3 Retaining grooves or aligning strips shall be provided at the tops and bottoms of horizontal assemblies and at the sides
of vertical assemblies to maintain doors in proper alignment when they are not in the closed position.
