PIPE PREPARATION
Pipe shall be free from indentations, projections, weld-bead or roll marks from the end of the pipe, back
11/2"/38 mm to provide a leak-tight seal for the gasket.
Pipe ends (plain or beveled end) must be square cut as measured from a true square line with the
maximum allowable tolerance: 0.03"/0,8 mm for 1 - 31/2"/25 - 90 mm; 0.045"/1,2 mm for 4 - 6"/100 -
150 mm; and 0.06"/1,5 mm for 8"/200 mm and larger sizes.
The nominal outside diameter of pipe should not vary more than ±1% for up to 2 1/2"/65 mm; +1%/-0.03"/
0,8 mm for 3 - 5"/80 - 125 mm; and +0.06"/-0.03"/1,8 - 0,8 mm for 6"/150 mm and up.
Pipe ends must be clearly marked 1"/25 mm from the end as a guide for proper centering the gasket over
the pipe ends.
