Compressive Strength Of Vitrified Clay Pipe, Although VCP has high c

Compressive Strength Of Vitrified Clay Pipe, Although VCP has high compressive strength, it has low tensile strength, making it vulnerable to breaking under Abrasion Resistance The abrasion resistance of pipe depends on the strength of the pipe material, the smoothness of its internal surface and the wall thickness. Accept No Substitute – Specify Vitrified This specification covers vitrified clay pipe and fitting materials and pipe joint assemblies test requirements for compression joints. 1 This specification covers materials and test requirements for compression joints for vitrified clay pipe and fittings. The common method to determine structural strength is a three-edge bearing test, which is measured in pounds load per linear foot of pipe length. 1. The Clay Pipe Engineering Manual has been prepared by the NATIONAL CLAY PIPE INSTITUTE. Factory applied polyurethane As a ceramic, Vitrified Clay is an asset to sewer system maintenance professionals. 1 This specification covers materials and test requirements for compression joints Vitrified clay pipe shall be manufactured from fire clay, shale, surface clay, or a combination of these materials that, when formed into pipe and fired to suitable temperatures. Use perforated clay pipe only where specifically shown or specified. Sealing elements shall be compressed and bounded Standard Specification for Compression Joints for Vitrified Clay Pipe and Fittings 1.
