FOREWORD

This Indian Standard ( Fifth Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of tndian Standards
after the draft finalized by the Sanitary Appliances and Water Fittings Sectional Committee had
been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Councii.

This standard was first published in 1956. First, second, third. and fourth revioions of the- stani:d;‘i$
were issued in 1962. 1965, 19’71and 1980 respectively.

In this revision, the following major modifications have been made:

a) Classification of pipes and fittings which earlier was in two grades has been dispensed with.
b) Tests for acid resistance and alkali resistance for pipes and fittings which earlier were
optional have now been made mandatory.

c) In addition to,general updation, the values have now been given in SI units.

For the purpcse of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the
final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis. shall be rounded off
in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numericat values ( revised 1’. The number of
significant places retained.in the rounded off values should be the same as that of the specified
values in this standard.

5.1 All pipes and fittings shall be sound and free from
visible defects which impair the strength, durability
and serviceability. The glaze of pipes and fittings shall
be free from crazing. The pipes and fittings shall give
a sharp clear note when struck with a iight h;%mmer.
5.2 For pipes and fittings, a maximum of 10 percent
shall be acceptable with any one of following blem-
ishes which do not impair the strength, durability and
serviceability provided these pipes and fittings satis-
factorily pass the hydraulic test specified in 7.2:
a) A thin chipping not exceeding one quarter of
the thickness of the body and not exceeding 10
c&on the outside of spigot or on either side of
the socket;
One blister, unbroken, not more than 3 mm
high not more than 40 mm in largest dimrn-
sion inside or outside of the pipe; and
c) Hairline surface cracks.
5.3 Colour of pipes/fittings may vary from yellow to
dark brown/black.
6 GLAZING
6.1 The interior and exterior surfaces of the pipes and,
fittings which remain exposed after jointing, shall be
glazed. The portion which remains covered afterjoint-
ing may or may not be glazed. The glaze shall be
obtained by the action of fumes of volatized COII~IOII
salt on the material of the pipes and fittings during the
process of burning ( see Note ).
NOTE - Alternatively glaze shall be ceramic glaze consisbn$of
glazing material. applied prior IO firing.
7 TESTS
7.1 Testing Facilities
De manufacturer shall, at his premises and at his own
cost, provide the necessary gauges, supply and prepare
all test.pieces and supply all labour and apparatus for
testing which may be necessary for carrying out the
tests as required by this standard.
7.2 Hydraulic Test
When subjected to the hydraulic test straight pipes
shall withstand an internal hydraulic test pressure of:
a) 0.15 MPa* on the barrelsand fittingsspecified
in Section A, and
b) 0.07.5 MPa for fittings covered in Section 8.
Without showing signs of injury or leakage. The pres-
sure shall be applied on pipes and fittings at a rate not
exceeding 0.075 MPa in 5 seconds, and futl pressure
shall be maintained forat least 5 seconds. Care shall be
taken toensure that all air is expelled before the test is
commenced.
ll MPa = 10.2 kg/cm*.
2
7.3 Absorption Test
The test pieces for testing shall be tahen from the body
ofthe pipe or fitting but not from within 150 mm of the
end.
l!ach test pieces shall be of the whole thickness of the
wall of thr pipe or fitting and shall have two glazed
surfaces each h::ving an area i)f not less than 50 cm2
aud not more thau 130 cd. The test pieces shall be
cleaned by wire brush to dislodge au~‘:nose particles

1So;‘C until MI furthrr loss ofntass is noted and cooied
in a desiccator to the rmnl temperature and the speci-
IW!I weighed to au accuracy of 0.1 g. The test piere
may be suitable suspcndcd in cold Distilled water by
means of thread so that the test piece may not strike
against each other or tt,c container and incur loss in
mass and the water in the container shall then be
brought to the boiling point. The water shall be main-
taiued at that !rmperaturr for 1 hour and after it has
been allowed to cool to room temperature, the test
pieces shall be removed carefully wiped with a dry
cloth and then the mass determined. The percentage
increase in mass of each test piece by absorption of
water shall not exceed the following values:
Thickness of Pipe increase in Mas.s

7.4 Test for Acid Resistance
Pipes and fitt;,lgs shall be tested for acid resistance
with hydrocholoric or nitric or sulphuric or acetic acid
in accordance with the procedure given in Annex A.
The loss in mass shall not exceed 0.25 percent.
7.5 Test for Allurli Resistance
Pipes and fittings shall be tested to the action of
magnesium sulphate in axordance with the procedure
given in Amiex B. There shall be no evidence of
pitting, softening, spalling or cracking in the pipe or
fitting after the test.
7.6 Crushing Strength Test
When tested along the full length of the pipe barrel
from shoulder to spigot in accordance with Annex C,
the pipe tested shall have a minimum crushing strength
of 16 k N/m length.
8 SAMPLING AND CRI’TERZA FOR
CONFORMITY

and the criteria for conformity shall be as przscribed
in Annex D.

TEST FOR RESISTANCE TO ACIDS

A-O ?‘Ri!WIPLE A-3 WEIGRING APPARATUS

A-O.1 The test specimen is completely immersed in

the test solution and the resistance to acid is deter-
mined as the percentage of acid soluble matter ex-
pressed as sulphate.
A-l REAGENTS
A-1.1 Nitric Acid - 6.30 percent, specific gravity
1.42.
A-l.2 Acetic Acid - 6.00 percent, specific gravity
1.05.
A-l.3 Hydrochloric Acid - 3.65 percent, specific
gravity 1.19.
A-L4 Sulphuric Acid - 4.90 percent, specific grav-
ity 1.84.
A-2 PREPARATION OF TEST SPECIMEN
A-2.1 Test specimen shall be sound tiith all edges
freshly broken, free from cracks or shattered edges,
about 5 cm square, not more than 200 g in mass, and
shall be thoroughly cleaned with wire brush,
A-3.1 The weighing shall be made on a balance accu-
rate to 0.01 g when loaded with 200 g.
A-4 PROCEDURE
A-l.1 The specimens to’be tested shall be dried to a
cc;nstant mass (M,) at a temperature not less than
‘,5@C. The specimens upon reaching constant mass
shall1be completely immersed in the test solution at the
ambient temperature for a period of 48 hours. Then

oughly washed with hot distilled water, allowing the.
wash to run into the solution in which specimens were
