ASTM F1143-19

Standard Specification for Manhole Cover Assembly, Bolted, Raised, Oiltight and Watertight

ABSTRACT
This specification provides the design and construction criteria for bolted oiltight and watertight manhole cover assemblies that are subjected to lateral pressures such as resulting from vehicle loads or hydrostatic pressures, and used in decks or bulkheads in which the assembly must be of the raised type. Manhole covers shall be complete with coaming, gasket, welded studs or bolts, washers, and nuts. This specification does not address certain hazardous cargos, as well as the design of the manhole cover assembly for primary or cyclic loads.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification provides design and construction criteria for a raised, bolted, oiltight and watertight manhole cover assembly.  
1.2 The manhole cover assemblies depicted in this specification are for use in decks or bulkheads in which the manhole cover assemblies must be of the raised type. Manhole cover shall be complete with coaming, gasket, welded studs or bolts, washers, and nuts.  
1.3 Determination of the use of handles will be as specified in the ordering information.  
1.4 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.  
1.5 This specification is not applicable to certain hazardous cargos (see 46 CFR 153.254 and 46 CFR 154.340).  
1.6 This specification provides design and construction for manhole cover assemblies subjected to lateral pressures such as resulting from vehicle loads or hydrostatic pressures. Where manhole cover assemblies are subjected to primary or cyclic loads, other reinforcement or construction criteria may be necessary to integrate the manhole assembly with the required structural reinforcement for openings in decks or bulkheads. Design of the manhole cover assembly for primary or cyclic loads is beyond the scope of this specification.  
1.7 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.
