ASTM F2510/F2510M-22

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
Designation: F2510/F2510M − 17 F2510/F2510M − 22 An American National Standard
Standard Specification for
Resilient Connectors Between Reinforced Concrete Manhole
Structures and Corrugated Dual- and Triple-Wall
Polyethylene and Polypropylene Pipes
This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2510/F2510M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year
of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.
A superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
1. Scope*
1.1 This specification covers the design, material, and minimum performance requirements of resilient connectors used for
connections between reinforced concrete structures conforming to Specifications C478C478/C478M and C913 to annular
corrugated profile wall high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) drainage and sewer pipe conforming to
AASHTO M252, M294, and M330 or Specifications F2306/F2306M, F2648/F2648M, F2736F2763/F2763M, F2763F2764/
F2764M, F2764/F2764MF2881/F2881M, and F2947/F2947M.
1.1.1 These connectors are designed to provide a positive seal between the pipe and manholes or other structures subjected to
internal and external hydrostatic pressures less than 10.8 psi [74 KPa].
1.1.2 Testing under this standard is limited to hydrostatic pressures. Alternate air and vacuum pressure testing involve unique
testing protocols and are not addressed under this standard.
1.1.3 Testing under this standard is conducted in a laboratory as a proof of design certification. Actual field performance testing
would be accomplished and accepted under individual project performance standards or pipeline acceptance criteria, which is
outside the scope of this standard.
NOTE 1—Infiltration or exfiltration quantities for an installed system are dependent upon many factors other than the connections between manhole
structures and pipe, and allowable quantities must be covered by other specifications and suitable testing of the installed pipeline and system.
NOTE 2—This specification may be applied to other types of plastic drainage pipe. Consult with manufacturer of pipe for applicability to this standard.
1.2 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text the SI units
are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents: therefore, each system shall be used
independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
1.3 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 7. This 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. For
a specific precaution statement, see 7.2.3.
1.4 This 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.
This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on Plastic Piping Systems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F17.20 on Joining.
