(Specification)Standard Specification for Elastomeric Seals for Joining Concrete Structures
Standard Specification for Elastomeric Seals for Joining Concrete Structures
ABSTRACT
This specification covers the physical property requirements of elastomeric seals (gaskets) used to seal the joints of precast concrete structures used in gravity and low head pressure applications. The seals shall be classified as: Class A; Class B; Class C; Class D; and Class E. All gaskets shall be extruded or molded in such a manner that any cross-section will be dense, homogeneous, and free of porosity, blisters, pitting, or other imperfections. The gaskets shall be fabricated from an elastomeric material meeting the appropriate classification physical property requirements. The following test methods shall be performed to conform to the specified requirements: tensile strength and elongation; hardness; compression set; accelerated aging; water absorption; ozone resistance; oil immersion testing; and splice strength classification.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the physical property requirements of elastomeric seals (gaskets) used to seal the joints of precast concrete structures conforming to Specifications C14, C14M, C118, C118M, C361, C361M, C443, C443M, C505, or C505M used in gravity and low head pressure applications.
1.2 Requirements are given for natural or synthetic rubber gaskets, or a combination of both.
1.3 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.
1.4 The following precautionary caveat pertains only 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.
1.5 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.

elastomers, see Terminology D1566.
4. Classification
4.1 In order to provide for the various types of seals and requirements, multiple classifications have been established.
4.1.1 Class A is generally intended to cover seals in low head pressure piping applications not exceeding 125 ft (375 kPa) where
premium physical properties are required.
4.1.2 Class B is generally intended for Class A and Class E applications that also require special oil resistant performance.
4.1.3 Class C is generally intended to cover seals in applications not exceeding 30 ft (9.14 m) of hydrostatic head.
4.1.4 Class D is generally intended for Class C applications that also require special oil resistant performance.
4.1.5 Class E is generally intended for gravity flow sewer pipe in applications not exceeding 30 ft (9.14 m) of hydrostatic head.
5. Composition and Manufacture
5.1 All gaskets shall be extruded or molded in such a manner that any cross-section will be dense, homogeneous, and free of
blisters, pitting, or other defects that make them unfit for the use intended. The gaskets shall be fabricated from an elastomeric
material meeting the appropriate classification physical property requirements in Section 7. The base polymer shall be natural
rubber, synthetic rubber, or a blend of both that is acceptable to the owner.
6. Dimensions and Tolerances
6.1 Specified Durometer Shore A hardness shall be within the range given in Section 7, Table 1, and actual gasket durometer
shall conform to 6 5 65 points from the specified value.
6.2 Cross-sectional and circumferential dimensions and tolerances shall comply with the relevant standard specification that is
referencing this standard.
6.3 When in its assembled position, the gasket shall not be stretched more than 30 % of its original circumference.
7. Physical Requirements
