ASME A112.19.1-2008 pdf free download.Enamelled cast iron and enamelled steel plumbing fixtures
This Standard covers enamelled cast iron and enamelled steel plumbing fixtures and specifies requirements for materials, construction, performance, testing, and markings.
1.2 This Standard covers the following plumbing fixtures:
(a) bathtubs;
(b) drinking fountains and water coolers;
(c) lavatories;
(d) shower bases; and
(e) sinks:
(i) kitchen and bar sinks;
(ii) laundry sinks;
(iii) service sinks; and
(iv) utility sinks.
1.3 In this Standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is dvised but not required; “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard; and “can” is used to express possibility or capability. Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.
1.4 SI units are the units of record in Canada. In this Standard, the yard/pound units are shown in parentheses. The values stated in each measurement system are equivalent in application; however, each system is to be used independently. Combining values from the two measurement systems can result in non-conformance with this Standard.
All references to gallons are to U.S. gallons.
For information on the unit conversion criteria used in this Standard, see Annex A.

3 Definitions
The following definitions apply in this Standard:
Air gap — the unobstructed vertical distance, through the open atmosphere, between the lowest opening of a water supply and the flood level of the fixture.
Bathing surface — the portion of the sump of a bathtub on which, in accordance with common usage or design, a bather might step or stand while bathing or showering, and which is exclusive of ledges or rims.
Blister — a hollow raised portion of the enamel surface of a cast iron or steel fixture.
Large blister — a blister with a dimension greater than 6 mm (0.24 in).
Medium blister — a blister whose largest dimension is between 1 and 6 mm (0.04 and 0.24 in).
Small blister — a blister whose largest dimension is less than 1 mm (0.04 in).
Chip — a blemish in the enamel exposing the undercoat or base metal.
Crack — a fracture in the surface or the substrate material of a fixture.
Craze (crazing) — separate and numerous hairlines in the enamel surface.
Note: The lines can vary in length and can be up to several centimetres long.
Dimple — a depression in the enamel surface.
Hairline — a line within the enamel surface whose width does not exceed 0.05 mm (0.002 in).
Lifting — a condition of the enamel surface characterized by an incomplete or imperfect bond between the metal and the enamel.
Lump — a raised portion of the enamel surface.
Orange peel — a condition characterized by numerous depressions in the enamel surface that are usually grouped closely together and form a uniform pattern.
Pinhole — a hole in the enamel surface whose largest dimension is less than 1 .5 mm (0.06 in).
Pop-off — a blemish in the enamel surface characterized by the enamel popping off the base metal and leaving a crater with an inverted cone shape extending to the base metal.
Speck — a particle of foreign matter that produces areas of contrasting colour on the enamel surface of a fixture.
Large speck — a speck with a dimension greater than 0.80 mm (0.031 in).
Medium speck — a speck whose largest dimension is between 0.40 and 0.80 mm (0.01 6 and 0.031 in).ASME A112.19.1 pdf download.ASME A112.19.1-2008 pdf free download
