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.

Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the
member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at
least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

International Standard ISO 10804 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 5, Ferrous
metal pipes and metallic fittings, Subcommittee SC2, Cast iron pipes, fittings and their joints.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 10804 – 1; 1996) of which it
constitutes a technical revision and deletion of Part 1 from the title/numbering.

Restrained joint systems for ductile iron pipelines — Design

rules and type testing
1 Scope

This International Standard specifies the design rules and type testing for restrained joint
systems to be used on ductile iron pipelines complying with ISO 2531 and ISO 7186, in order
to determine their mechanical properties and leak tightness.

2 Normative references

The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute
provisions of this International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were
valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this
International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most
recent editions of the standards indicated below. Members of IEC and ISO maintain registers
of currently valid International Standards.

ISO 2531: 1998, Ductile iron pipes, fittings and accessories for pressure pipelines

ISO 6708: 1995, Pipework components – Definition and selection of DN (nominal size).

ISO 7186: 1996, Ductile iron products for sewerage applications.

3 Definitions

For the purposes of this International Standard the definitions given in ISO 6708 and the
following definitions apply:

3.1 restrained joint

joint in which a means is provided to prevent separation of the assembled joint

3.2 allowable operating pressure (PFA)

Normen-Download-Beuth-Jindal Saw Ltd. Jindal Centre-KdNr.7507685-LfNr.4862019001-2010-04-08 12:19

maximum internal pressure, excluding surge, that a component can safely withstand in
permanent service.

3.3 allowable maximum operating pressure (PMA)

maximum internal pressure, including surge, that a component can safely withstand in
service.

3.4 allowable test pressure (PEA)

maximum hydrostatic pressure that a newly installed component can withstand for a relatively
short duration, when either fixed above ground level or laid and backfilled underground, in
order to measure the integrity and tightness of the pipeline.

NOTE This test pressure is different from the system test pressure, which is related to the design pressure of the
pipeline.

3.5 type test

proof of design test which is done once and is repeated only after change of design.

3.6 allowable angular deflection

angular deflection that a joint between two components can safely withstand in service under
the allowable operating pressure (PFA).

4 Design rules

4.1 All restrained joints for ductile iron pipes, fittings and other components shall be designed
with the requirements of this clause. If the design of a restrained joint has been tested and
successfully used for a minimum of ten years, a type test as described in clause 5 is only

© ISO 2009 – All rights reserved 1

 ISO/DIS 10804

required for a significant change in the design which could adversely affect the performance
of the restrained joint.

4.2 The minimum thickness of the spigot for restrained joints shall be such as to allow any
necessary welding or loading from attachments (e.g. gasket teeth). This may result in pipe
thicker than the corresponding pressure class thickness of the pipe. The manufacturer shall
declare the pipe thickness for his restrained joints.

4.3 The design safety factors with respect to failure against axial forces due to internal
pressure shall be such that the joints shall withstand a type test of 1,5 times allowable
1)
operating pressure (PFA) plus 5 bar .
1)
1 bar = 105 N/m2 = 105 Pa = 0,1 MPa

4.4 The joints shall be type tested to a negative pressure of 0,9 bar below atmospheric
pressure (approximately 0,1 bar absolute pressure). When the restraining mechanism and
sealing component of a restrained joint are independent, such a joint does not need to be
subjected to a negative internal pressure test if the unrestrained version of the joint has
passed this test (ISO 2531).

4.5 The joints shall be type tested to a cyclic internal hydraulic pressure as follows:
a) 24,000 cycles
b) Test pressure between PMA and (PMA – 5) bar

4.6 Ductile iron pipelines and the restrained joints as defined in this International Standard are
well suited for use in seismic zones. However, certain locations, such as fault crossings,
liquefaction zones, connections to structures etc., require specialized designs. The pipe
manufacturer or a competent earthquake engineer should be consulted.

4.7 For joint restraint components, the protection against aggressive soils shall be at least as
good as that of the pipes and/or fittings. It may be achieved by means of works applied
coatings and/or site applied protection systems.

5 Type testing
Normen-Download-Beuth-Jindal Saw Ltd. Jindal Centre-KdNr.7507685-LfNr.4862019001-2010-04-08 12:19

5.1 General

Each restrained joint design shall be tested in order to demonstrate its mechanical strength
and its leak tightness under the most unfavourable conditions of castings tolerances and joint
movements.

The type tests shall be carried out in the configuration of maximum design radial gap between
the components to be jointed (smallest spigot together with largest socket). In addition, the
spigot thickness shall be the minimum casting thickness plus 10 %, minus 0 %. The length of
the minimum thickness of the spigot for the type test shall be such as to include any welding
and/or attachments for that joint. It is permissible to machine the spigot end of the test pipe in
the bore to achieve the required thickness.

In the type tests, the maximum gap shall not be less than the corresponding maximum design
radial gap by more than 5 % or 0,5 mm (whichever is the smaller). The internal socket
diameter may be machined to achieve this.

5.2 Test conditions

There shall be a type test for at least one DN for each of the groupings given in Table 1,
normally using the preferred DN. One DN is representative of a grouping when the
performances are based on the same design parameters throughout the size range.

DN in each
grouping

If a grouping covers products of different designs and/or products manufactured by different

processes, the grouping shall be subdivided. If, for a certain manufacturer, a grouping
contains only one DN, this DN may be considered as part of the adjacent grouping provided
that it is of identical design and manufactured by the same process.

Each diameter tested shall be subjected to the following conditions:

a) joint assembled in the aligned position, then deflected to the allowable angular
deflection indicated in the manufacture’s instructions, and tested while
maintained in the deflected position;
b) joint assembled in the aligned position, then subjected to a load giving a
resultant shear force across the joint not less than 30 times DN (expressed in
newtons), and tested under shear.

All joint assemblies shall exhibit no visible leakage and no mechanical instability after 2 h
under:

1) hydrostatic pressure as given in 4.3;

2) negative internal pressure as given in 4.4;
3) cyclic internal hydraulic pressure as given in 4.5.

In addition, any axial movement that may occur at the joint shall reach a constant value within
the 2 h.

5.3 Test method for positive internal pressure

The testing apparatus shall be capable of providing suitable end closure whether the joint is in
the aligned position, or deflected, or subjected to a shear load. It shall be equipped with a
pressure gauge with an accuracy of ± 3 %.

The test shall be carried out on an assembled joint comprising two pipe sections, each at
least 1 m long.

For the test according to 5.2 b), the shear load shall be applied to the spigot end by means of
a V-shaped block with an angle of 120º, located at approximately 0,5 x DN, in millimetres, or
200mmm from the socket face (whichever is the larger); the socket shall bear on a flat
support.

The test assembly shall be filled with water and suitably vented. The test pressure shall be
raised at a rate not exceeding 1 bar/s.

The test pressure shall be kept constant to ± 0.5 bar for at least 2 h during which the joint is
thoroughly inspected and its axial movement measured every 15 min.

5.4 Test method for negative internal pressure

The test assembly and apparatus shall be as given in 5.3 with the pipe sections axially
restrained to prevent them moving toward each other.

 ISO/DIS 10804

The test assembly shall be empty of water and shall be evacuated as required in 4.4 and
isolated from the vacuum pump. The test assembly shall be left under vacuum for at least 2 h
during which the pressure shall not have changed by more than 0,09 bar. The test shall begin
at a temperature between 5º C and 40º C. The temperature of the test assembly shall not
vary by more than 10º C for the duration of the test.

5.5 Test method for dynamic (cyclic) internal pressure

The test assembly and apparatus shall be as given in 5.3. The test assembly shall be filled
with water and suitably vented of air.

The pressure shall be steadily increased up to PMA, the allowable maximum operating
pressure of the joint, and then automatically monitored according to the following pressure
cycle:

a) steady pressure reduction to (PMA – 5) bar;

b) maintain (PMA – 5) bar for at least 5 s;

c) steady pressure increase to PMA;

d) maintain PMA for at least 5 s.

The number of cycles shall be recorded and the test stopped automatically in the occurrence
of a failure of the joint. Any axial movement at the spigot shall be measured at the end of the
test.

All necessary safety precautions should be taken for the duration of the pressure test.

5.6 Test report

The test report shall contain at least the following;
