1.1These test methods cover testing of concrete pipe, concrete box sections, manhole sections, and tile. The test methods described are used in production testing and acceptance testing to evaluate the properties provided for in the specifications.

1.2The test methods appear in the following order:

	Section
External Load Crushing Strength	4
Flat Slab Top	5
Base Section Test	6
Core Strength	7
Absorption	8
Hydrostatic	9
Permeability	10
Manhole Step	11
Cylinder	12
Gasket Lubricant	13
Joint Shear	14
Alkalinity	15
Gasket Measurements	16
Off-Center Hydrostatic Joint Test	17
Hydrostatic External Joint Test Method	18
Welded Splice Pull Test	19

1.3The test specimens shall not have been exposed to a temperature below 4°C for the 24 h immediately preceding the test.

1.4If any test specimen fails because of mechanical reasons such as failure of testing equipment or improper specimen preparation, it shall be discarded and another specimen taken.

1.5Specimens shall be selected in accordance with the specifications for the type of pipe or tile being tested.

1.6These methods are the metric companion of Test Methods C497.

1.7This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.8This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
