Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that

5 Principle
The sealing pressure in a joint is estimated by measuring the pressure necessary to lift the seal, in each of
three PTFE tubes, unless otherwise specified in other standards, equally distributed over the circumference
of a joint located between the rubber seal and the spigot or socket, as appropriate (see Figure 1).
In a temperature-controlled environment and at increasing time intervals, a constant flow rate of 120 ml/
min of nitrogen or air is forced through three flexible PTFE tubes.
If it was not possible to keep the pressure constant at 120 ml/min during the measurement, calculate the
pressure value, p, at a flow rate of 120 ml/min according to 8.2. For this purpose, the intersection point of
the pressure at 120 ml/min shall be read from the recorded pressure/flow curve and this resulting pressure
shall be recorded.
The nitrogen or air pressure, p, necessary to achieve this flow, is measured. The pressure, p , is measured at
t
increasing time intervals over a period of time. The extrapolated regression lines for p are used to calculate
t
the estimated value p at 100 years and p at 24 h.
