Note: Nothing in this standard supercedes applicable laws and regulations.

Note: In the event of conflict between the English and domestic language, the English language shall take precedence.

Purpose. The purpose of this procedure is to determine the static leakage, pull-apart load and the torque specification on each attachment of the exhaust system - joint interface.

Applicability. These tests apply to exhaust systems.

Note: Pull-apart load test does not apply to flange joints.

Remarks. This document contains four procedures: torque angle to ultimate, hand torque to seal and leakage, static leakage check, and pull-apart load. These tests can be conducted individually.
