ASTM F1196-19

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 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 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.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
