This standard specifies test methods for flexible and reduced-articulation socket-and-spigot joints with
elastomeric sealing elements for above ground and buried glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics (GRP)
pipeline applications. It covers methods of test for the leaktightness and resistance to damage of the joint
only, when subject to specified combinations of longitudinal extension (draw), angular movement
(angular deflection), vertical compression (misalignment) and internal pressure. This standard is
applicable to joints for either pressure or non-pressure applications.
