ASME A112.19.2:2008 pdf free download Ceramic plumbing fixtures
1.1 This Standard covers vitreous and non-vitreous china plumbing fixtures and specifies requirements for materials, construction, performance, testing, and markings. This Standard’s performance requirements and test procedures apply to all types of water closets and urinals that discharge into gravity drainage systems in permanent buildings and structures, independent of occupancy.
1.2
This Standard covers the following plumbing fixtures:
(a) bathtubs;
(b) bidets;
(c) drinking fountains;
(d) fixtures for institutional applications;
(e) lavatories;
(f) shower bases;
(g) sinks:
(i) laboratory sinks;
(ii) laundry sinks;
(iii) service sinks; and
(iv) utility sinks;
(h) urinals; and
(i) water closets.
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 advised 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 B.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 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.
Anti-siphon fill valve — a valve that is used to supply water to a flush tank and has, on its discharge side, an air gap, integral mechanical backflow preventer, or vacuum breaker. It is operated by a float or similar device.
Bidet — a fixture with a hot and cold water supply intended for genital and perineal hygiene.
Blowout action — a means of flushing a water closet whereby a jet of water directed at the bowl outletopening pushes the bowl contents into the upleg, over the weir, and into the gravity drainage system.Blowout bowl — a non-siphonic water closet bowl with an integral flushing rim, a trap at the rear of thebowl, and a visible or concealed jet that operates with a blowout action.
China — Non-vitreous china — ceramic material in which porosity results in a water absorption of between0.5 and 15.0% of the original weight of the dry specimen (see Clause 6.1).
Vitreous china—ceramic material fired at a high temperature to form a non-porous body with amaximum water absorption of 0.5% of the original weight of the dry specimen (see Clause 6.1).Critical level (CL)- the highest water level of a fixture at which back siphonage will not occur.Defect-
Blister (large)- a hollow raised portion of the glazed surface of a fixture with a dimension greaterthan 3 mm (0.i3 in).
Bubble — a raised portion of the glazed surface of a fixture or a sand speck whose largest dimensionis less than 1 mm (0.04 in).
Crack — a fracture in the glaze or the body of a fixture, but not a dunt or a craze.raze (crazing)-fine cracks in the surface finish.
