Flexible couplings - Part 1: Performance requirements

This Standard specifies the performance requirements for flexible couplings, bushes and adaptors for use with pipes and fittings in drainage and sewerage systems, normally operated under gravity, both above and below ground and intended to connect different pipes for:
- Repair of damaged pipelines,
- Connecting pipes of different materials and/or diameters,
- Jointing short/cut lengths of pipe,
- Jointing specific pipe systems,
- Jointing post-inserted preformed junctions.
Typically a coupling consists of a moulded or extruded flexible sleeve with two clamping bands with or without a shear band. The clamping bands enable the sleeve to form a seal with the pipes to be joined. The shear band gives resistance to shear forces. Connections
may be made between pipes which cannot be satisfactorily joined by a coupling alone, of dissimilar sizes or material, by using an appropriate bush or bushes with the coupling.

Flexible Kupplungen - Teil 1: Leistungsanforderungen

Die vorliegende Norm legt die Leistungsanforderungen an flexible Kupplungen, Ausgleichsringe und Übergangsbauteile für die Verwendung mit Rohren und Formstücken in Entwässerungssystemen fest, die üblicherweise als Schwerkraftentwässerungssysteme oberirdisch und erdverlegt betrieben werden und für den Anschluss unterschiedlicher Rohrleitungen für folgende Zwecke vorgesehen sind:
-   die Reparatur von beschädigten Rohrleitungen;
-   den Anschluss von Rohrleitungen aus unterschiedlichen Werkstoffen und/oder Durchmessern;
-   die Verbindung kurzer/geschnittener Rohrleitungslängen;
-   die Verbindung spezifischer Rohrsysteme;
-   die Verbindung nachträglich eingebauter vorgefertigter Abzweigungen.
Üblicherweise besteht eine Kupplung aus einem Manschetten-Formteil oder einem extrudierten Teil mit zwei Spannbändern mit oder ohne Scherband. Durch die Spannbänder bildet die Manschette eine Abdichtung mit den zu verbindenden Rohren. Das Scherband bietet Widerstand gegen Scherkräfte. Anschlüsse können zwischen Rohren hergestellt werden, die nicht zufriedenstellend allein durch eine Kupplung verbunden werden können, mit ungleichen Größen oder Werkstoffen unter Verwendung eines geeigneten Ausgleichsrings oder eines Ausgleichsrings mit einer Kupplung.

Raccords flexibles - Partie 1: Exigences de performance

La présente norme spécifie les exigences de performance des raccords flexibles, des bagues et des raccords d’adaptation utilisés avec les tuyaux et accessoires dans les réseaux d’évacuation et d’assainissement, normalement de type gravitaire, qu’ils soient aériens ou enterrés, et destinés à raccorder différents tuyaux pour :
-   la réparation des canalisations endommagées ;
-   le raccordement de tuyaux constitués de matériaux différents et/ou ayant des diamètres différents ;
-   l’assemblage de tronçons de tuyaux ;
-   l’assemblage de systèmes de canalisations spécifiques ;
-   l’assemblage de pièces de jonction préfabriquées post-insérées.
Un raccord est généralement composé d’un manchon flexible moulé ou extrudé avec deux colliers de serrage, avec ou sans bande de cisaillement. Les colliers de serrage permettent au manchon de former un joint d’étanchéité avec les tuyaux à assembler. La bande de cisaillement confère une résistance aux efforts de cisaillement. L’utilisation d’une ou plusieurs bagues appropriées avec le raccord permet de raccorder des tuyaux de tailles différentes ou constitués de matériaux différents, qui ne peuvent pas être assemblés de manière satisfaisante avec un raccord seul.

Prožne spojke - 1. del: Zahtevane lastnosti

Ta standard določa zahtevane lastnosti prožnih spojk, puš in adapterjev za uporabo s cevmi in spojniki v drenažnih in kanalizacijskih sistemih, ki običajno delujejo s pomočjo gravitacije nad in pod zemljo ter so namenjeni priključitvi različnih cevi za:
– popravilo poškodovanih cevovodov;
– priključitev cevi iz različnih materialov in/ali premerov;
– spajanje kratkih kosov/rezanih dolžin cevi;
– spajanje določenih cevnih sistemov;
– spajanje predoblikovanih spojev, ki so vstavljeni naknadno.
Spojka je običajno sestavljena iz ulite ali ekstrudirane prožne obojke, ki vključuje dva vpenjalna trakova s strižnim trakom ali brez njega. Vpenjalna trakova omogočata zatesnitev obojke s cevema, ki ju je treba združiti. Strižni trak zagotavlja odpornost na strižne sile. Z uporabo ustrezne puše oziroma puš skupaj s spojko
se lahko povežejo cevi različnih velikosti ali iz različnih materialov, ki jih ni mogoče zadostno povezati le s spojko.

EN 16397-1:2014 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the performance requirements for flexible couplings and adaptors and bushes for use with pipes and fittings in drain and sewer systems, usually operated under gravity and periodic hydraulic surcharge, both above and below ground inside or outside buildings and intended to connect pipes for: — repair of damaged pipelines; — connecting pipes of different materials and/or diameters; — jointing short/cut lengths of pipe; — jointing specific pipe systems; — jointing post-inserted preformed junctions. Typically a coupling consists of a moulded or extruded flexible sleeve with two clamping bands with or without a shear band. The clamping bands enable the sleeve to form a seal with the pipes to be jointed. The shear band gives resistance to shear forces. Connections may be made between pipes which cannot be satisfactorily jointed by a coupling alone, of dissimilar sizes or material, by using an appropriate bush or bushes with the coupling or by using an appropriate adaptor. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
