ASTM F1476 – Standard Specification for Performance of Gasketed Mechanical Couplings for Use in Piping Applications

Mechanical couplings are critical components in modern piping systems, where connection reliability, sealing performance, and structural integrity are essential for safe and long-term operation.

ASTM F1476 specifies performance characteristics and qualification testing requirements for gasketed mechanical couplings, including grooved couplings, restraint couplings for plain-end pipes, and mechanical compression coupling systems.
