Bibliography

Specifies the requirements and associated test methods applicable to wide tolerance ductile iron couplings and wide tolerance flange adaptors intended for use with pipe components made from a number of pipe materials (ductile iron, grey iron, PE, PVC-U, steel, fibre-cement), for providing a leak tight seal over a wide range of pipe external diameters.
