Overview

ISO 4089:1979 - "Shipbuilding - Inland navigation - Sealing rubber for covers of cargo hatches" is an ISO technical standard that defines the type, principal dimensions and technical requirements for rubber sealing packings used on cargo hatch covers of inland vessels and watercraft. First published in 1979, the standard aims to promote reliable sealing performance, standardized testing of hatch covers, and easier operation and repair.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope: Covers sealing rubber intended to ensure water- and weathertightness in straight sections and joints of hatch covers; excludes special rubber packings for heat‑insulating labyrinths.
  • Profiles and groove shape: Packing grooves may have rectangular or trapezoidal sections; rectangular sealing rubber dimensions are specified in the standard (examples include sizes such as 42×30, 42×67, 42×87, 42×107 and 32×67 mm types).
  • Compression recovery: Sealing rubber shall recover its original shape after compression of 8 ± 2 mm by a packing rim (applied by a strip up to 20 mm thick or a bar up to 30 mm diameter) maintained for one month; residual deformation must be minimal and not impair tightness.
  • Environmental performance: Operational temperature range is –30 °C to +70 °C. Materials must be oil resistant, and working/exposed areas must resist sunlight and ozone.
  • Bonding and fastening: Rubber grades must permit reliable gluing, vulcanization or other connecting methods; fastening in grooves may be by glueing, vulcanization or other dependable techniques.
  • Testing - watertightness and weathertightness:
    • Watertightness verified by a water jet from a hose nozzle (nozzle diameter ≥ 16 mm) at 100 kPa (equivalent to a 10 m high upward jet), applied at 1–3 m distance.
    • Weathertightness assessed by a water jet directed vertically upwards to simulate heavy rain; nozzle movement along the packing perimeter is limited (see standard).
    • Tests conducted above 0 °C, but permissible at lower air temperatures if water temperature is maintained at 15–20 °C. Acceptance: no traces or drops of water inside the cover after test.

Applications and users

  • Shipyards and hatch-cover manufacturers specifying gasket profiles and installation methods for inland vessels
  • Rubber compounders and seal manufacturers producing hatch packing to standardized dimensions and performance criteria
  • Ship designers, classification societies, procurement engineers, and ship repair yards assessing watertight and weathertight integrity
  • Quality assurance teams conducting production and field tests to ISO 4089 test methods

Related standards

  • ISO 4089 references that density, mechanical strength and other rubber characteristics should comply with appropriate ISO standards for rubber materials (consult current ISO rubrics for specific material property standards).

Keywords: ISO 4089, sealing rubber, hatch cover gasket, inland navigation, watertightness, weathertightness, shipbuilding standard, hatch seal, rubber packing.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
national Standards institutes (ISO member bodies). The work of developing Interna-
tional Standards is carried out through ISO technical committees. Every member body
interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been set up has the right to
be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-
governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
the ISO Council.
International Standard ISO 4089 was developed by Technical Committee ISO/TC 8,
Shipbui/ding, and was circulated to the member bodies in February 1977.
