What is ISO/TS 10986 about?
ISO/TS 10986 addresses the system design of pipe and joints of above-ground installations without end thrust. It is directed to pipelines with a minimum stiffness of SN 5000 laid in a straight line between thrust blocks. It is based on safety concepts.
ISO/TS 10986 is directed to double bell coupling. However, much of the information can be adapted and utilized for other flexible joint systems.
NOTE: ISO/TS 10986 does not cover fittings nor detailed engineering work like thrust blocks, support, and anchor designs.
Who is ISO/TS 10986 for?
ISO/TS 10986 on system design of above-ground pipe and joint installations is relevant to:
- GRP pipes manufacturer
- Manufacturers and suppliers of joints
- Construction industry
- Civil engineers
- Contractors
- Installers and designers
- Product design engineers
Why should you use ISO/TS 10986?
Pipe joints are connections at pipe ends that ensure that two pipe sections can be joined to each other to efficiently install a pipeline of any length.
ISO/TS 10986 provides the required guideline on the angular deflection of joints and installation of the above-ground pipes.
For designers of above-ground pipe installation ISO/TS 10986 is particularly insightful at it will assist you in the right methods of pipe installation so as to ensure components like bends, reducers, tees, wyes are able to withstand loads, especially when there is a change in cross-sectional area or alignment direction.
Guidelines on supporting for pipes, anchor design and in-depth evaluation of axial forces is also covered in ISO/TS 10986.
Overall, ISO/TS 10986 can be your one-stop guide on ensuring efficient above-ground pipe and joint installations that are free from product failures.
