1.1.3 Type III, Chemically Bonded Adhesive Butyl Bands.

1.2 This specification is the metric counterpart of Specification C 877.

Note 1 - This specification covers only the design and material of the sealing bands. Sealing bands covered by this specification are adequate, when properly installed, for external hydrostatic pressures up to 90 kPa, (9.14 m) without leakage. The amount of infiltration or exfiltration flow in an installed pipeline is dependent upon many factors other than the sealing bands; allowable quantities and suitable testing of the installed pipeline and system must be covered by other specifications.
