The standard details various jointing methods to ensure leak-tightness and structural integrity, including: : Push-fit connections that rely on pre-formed push-on rubber gaskets positioned inside the socket profile. These absorb minor longitudinal micro-movements without leaking. to ensure high-quality surface finish [1]. : 100% visual + 20% radiographic (RT) on girth welds. The standard outlines several key requirements for steel tubes and pipes, including: Used for smaller diameter tubes or situations where welding is not permitted. Preferred for high-pressure applications where a permanent, continuous pipeline is required. Mechanical Couplings: Utilizing elastomeric seals in accordance with EN 681-1 . Joints must be designed to withstand internal and external pressures experienced in water distribution networks. Joints must withstand internal pressure and external loads without leakage or failure. |
