DUCTILE IRON FITTINGS FOR PRESSURE PIPES FOR
WATER & SEWER – SPECIFICATION
(Second Revision)
1
FOREWORD
This standard was first published in 1980 and then revised in 2000. In the light of the experience gained
during these years and the changes that had taken place in the international context, the committee has
decided to update this standard taking into account the modern trend to omit the use of DI Pipes for Gas.
This standard will also follow the trend in other international specifications, particularly the ISO and CEN.
Ductile Iron, also called nodular iron or spheroidal graphite iron is characterized by the presence of
graphite in nodular or spheroidal form in the resultant casting. It differs from cast iron by greater tensile
strength and its significant elongation at break.
Ductile Iron Pipe offers:
I. high resistance against breakage due to impact;

II. high tensile strength comparable to that of cast iron and mild steel so that the pipes can be used for
higher working pressure.
III. traditional corrosion resistance of cast iron, having high percentage of free graphite;
IV. lighter in mass.
V. coating of sprayed Zinc and inside cement mortar lining, which increases the life at least by 50 years
extra.
VI. smooth Cement Mortar Lining/ Epoxy Lining reduces frictional head loss.
In this revision the following main modifications have been made:
a) A new classification system is being introduced for DI Fittings based on pressure, with wall
thickness have been determined by allowable operating pressures.
b) The design of joints is not given in this standard; Type test of joints has been incorporated which
proves the efficacy of the joint design.
c) For additional corrosion protection, outside of the pipe Zinc, or Zinc Alloy Coating with finishing
layer of bitumen and alternatively Epoxy coating has also been included.
d) For smoother hydraulic flow and prevention of tuberculation and corrosion, inside lining by
Cement Mortar has been retained, other types of linings such as Epoxy, and Polyurethane have
been included which provide corrosion protection and at the same time a smooth internal surface.
e) For Ductile Iron Pipes & Fittings, ISO and CEN have two different standards, one for Water and
the other for Sewage. This Indian Standard has been drafted for one combined standard for Water
and Sewage with a section which for gravity sewers only. The classification of fittings is based on
working pressure of the pipeline irrespective of whether used in gravity or pumping mains
transmitting Water
f) Since the International Specification ISO: 2531, ISO 7186, EN 545, EN 598, AS/NZS 2280 are all
composite specification for DI Pipes and Fittings, the Indian Standard Specification IS: 9523 has
been issued only for fittings because the method of manufactures are different and BIS issues
separate licenses for Pipe and Fittings manufacturers.
In order to have International co-ordination and interchangeability with other International Standards,
assistance has been derived from the following publications:
ISO: 2531/2009 Ductile Iron Pipes, Fittings, Accessories & their joints for water or gas application,
issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

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

ductile iron, fittings, accessories and their joints for the construction of pipelines:
to convey water (e.g. for human consumption, raw water);
operated with or without pressure;
installed below or above ground.
NOTE In this Indian Standard, all pressures are relative pressures expressed in bars1).
This Indian Standard gives specifications for materials, dimensions and

tolerances, mechanical properties and standard coatings of fittings and
accessories. It also gives performance requirements for all components including
joints.
This Indian Standard covers fittings and accessories cast by any type of
foundry process or manufactured by fabrication of cast components, as well as
corresponding joints in the size range DN 80 to DN 2000 inclusive.
It is applicable to, fittings and accessories which are:
manufactured with socketed, flanged or spigot ends for jointing by means of various types of
gaskets which are not within the scope of this Indian Standard;
normally delivered internally and externally coated.
Fittings are classified according to pressure.

of the adjacent grouping provided that it is of identical design and manufactured by the same
process.
The type tests shall be carried out in the configuration of maximum design radial
gap between the components to be jointed (smallest spigot end of the Flanged
Spigot Adaptor together with largest socket of the Flanged Socket Adaptor).
In the type test, the maximum gap shall be equal to the maximum design radial gap
with a tolerance of plus 0 % minus 5 %. The internal socket diameter may be

normal manufacturing tolerance.
All joints shall be performance tested with a spigot having an average iron wall
thickness (over a distance of 2 DN, in mm from the spigot end face) equal to the
specified minimum value for the pipe for which the joint is designed plus 10 %,
minus 0 %. It is permissible to machine the spigot end of the pipe bore to achieve
the required thickness.
Restrained flexible joints shall be designed and tested in accordance with

ISO 10804-1.

23
5.2.4 Negative internal pressure
The leak tightness of joints to negative internal pressure shall be type tested in
accordance with 7.3 at a test pressure of 0,9 bar below atmospheric pressure
(approximately 0,1 bar absolute pressure). The maximum pressure change during
the test period shall not be more than 0,09 bar after 2 hours, when tested in the two
following positions:
a) joint aligned and subjected to shear: the shear force across the joint, expressed in N, shall not
be less than 30 times DN;
b) joint deflected: the test angular deflection shall be the maximum allowable deflection
indicated in the manufacturer’s catalogue, but not less than 3º 30’ for DN 40 to DN 300, 2º
30’ for DN 350 to DN 600, 1º 30’ for DN 700 to 2600.

All flanged joints for ductile iron fittings and components shall be designed in
compliance with the requirements of 5.3. If the design has been tested and
documented by the manufacturer and successfully used for a minimum of ten
years, the performance of a type test in accordance with 5.3 is only required for
significant changes in design which could adversely affect the performance of the
joint.
In order to demonstrate their strength and leak tightness in service conditions,
flanged joints shall be subjected to a performance test. When tested in accordance
with 7.4, they shall show no visible leakage under the combined effects of a
hydrostatic internal pressure and of a bending moment given in Table 10, where:
the pressure is (1,5 PN + 5) bar;
the relevant bending moment is obtained by addition of the bending moments due to the weight
of the components and of the water in the test assembly and to a possible external load
calculated as a function of the length of the unsupported span of the testing arrangement (see
7.4).
A performance test shall be carried out on each type of flange joint available from the manufacturer
in accordance with Table 10.
NOTE The bending moments given in Table 10 are equal to those resulting from the weight of the
pipes and of the water over an unsupported pipe length L between simple supports, with:
- L = 8 m for DN 250;
- L = 12 m for DN 300.

Produce the test bar to a nominal diameter 10 %, measure the actual diameter
before the test with an accuracy of 0,01 mm and use this measured diameter to
calculate the cross-sectional area and the tensile strength;or
Method B:
Produce the test bar to a nominal area So within a specified tolerance on the
diameter (see Table 11) and use the nominal area to calculate the tensile strength.

6.3.3 Equipment and test method
The tensile testing machine shall have suitable holders or grips to attach to the test
bar ends so as to positively apply the test load axially. The testing machine shall
have a force range suitable for testing the bars to failure whilst indicating the load
applied.
The rate of stressing shall be as constant as possible within the limits of 6 N/mm2
per second to 30 N/mm2 per second.
The tensile strength shall be calculated by dividing the maximum force sustained by
the test bar by the cross-sectional area of the test bar before testing. The elongation
shall be measured by piecing together the broken parts of the test bar and taking
the ratio of the extended gauge length to the original gauge length. Alternatively, the
elongation may be measured directly by means of an extensometer.
6.3.4.Test results
Test results shall comply with Table 8. If they do not comply, the manufacturer
shall:
a) in the case where the metal does not achieve the required mechanical properties, investigate
the reason and ensure that all castings in the batch are either re-heat-treated or rejected;
castings which have been re-heat treated are then re-tested in accordance with 6.3;
b) in the case of a defect in the test bar, carry out a further test. If it passes, the batch is
accepted; if not, the manufacturer has the option to proceed in accordance with a) above.
NOTE The manufacturer may limit the amount of rejection by making additional tests, in order of
manufacture, until the rejected batch of castings is bracketed by a successful test at each end of the
interval in question.
27
6.3.6 Test frequency
The frequency of testing is related to the system of production and quality control
used by the manufacturer (see 4.3.1). The maximum batch sizes shall be as given in

e) steady pressure increase to MOP;
f) maintain MOP for at least 5 secs.
The number of cycles shall be recorded and the test stopped automatically in the occurrence of a failure of
the joint. For a restrained joint, the test assembly, the test apparatus and the test procedure are identical,
except that there shall be no end restraint so that the axial thrust is taken by the restrained joint under
test. In addition, any axial movement at the spigot shall be measured every 15 min.
NOTE All necessary safety precautions should be taken for the duration of the pressure test.

The test shall be repeated with the saddle outlet horizontal and prior to pressurization the relevant load
shall be applied to the saddle service valve cap (see 5.5.1).
Saddles designed for use in only one direction (vertical or horizontal) shall only be tested in that
orientation.
7.8 Compressive strength of the cement mortar lining
The compressive strength shall be the arithmetic mean of six compressive strength tests performed on
three prism samples after 28 days of curing. The compressive strength shall be minimum 50 MPa as
determined by a performance test. It is to be ensured that:
the sand, the cement and the water used for the prism samples are identical with those used for the
mortar before application of the lining;

application of the lining;
the water/cement ratio used for the prism samples is equal to that of the lining immediately after
application to the pipe wall;
the test samples are prepared using either an impact table or a vibrating table.
NOTE This takes into account the influence of the centrifugal spinning process which allows expelling the
excess water.
8. Initial performance testing
General
Initial performance testing shall be performed to show conformity with this standard. Tests previously
performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard (same product, same characteristic(s), test
method, sampling procedure, system of attestation of conformity, etc.) may be taken into account. In
addition, initial performance testing shall be performed at the beginning of the production of a new type of
product or at the beginning of a new method of production (where this may affect the stated properties).
32
Where components are used whose characteristics have already been determined by the component
manufacturer, on the basis of conformity with other product standards, these characteristics need not be
reassessed provided that the components' performance or method of assessment remain the same, that
the characteristics of the component are suitable for the intended end use of the finished product, and
insofar as the manufacturing process does not have a detrimental affect on the determined characteristics.
Components and raw materials ISI marked in accordance with appropriate harmonised Indian
specifications may be presumed to have the performances stated with the ISI marking, although this does
not replace the responsibility on the manufacturer of ductile iron pipeline product to ensure that the
product as a whole is correctly designed and its component products have the necessary performance
values to meet the design.
8.1.1 Characteristics
All characteristics in Clause 7 shall be subject to initial performance testing except for the release of
dangerous substances which may be assessed indirectly by controlling the content of the substance
concerned. Whenever a change occurs in the product, the raw material or supplier of the components, or
the production process (subject to the definition of a family), which would change significantly one or more
of the characteristics, the performance tests shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristics.
8.1.2 Treatment of calculated values and design
In those cases where conformity with this standard is based on calculations, performance testing will be
limited to the verification of the calculations made and that the resulting products correspond to the
assumptions made in the design.
8.1.3 Sampling, testing and conformity criteria
8.1.4 Sampling procedure
Initial performance testing shall be performed on samples of products representative for the manufactured
product type. The random sampling method shall be used, except for the assessment of the leak tightness
of joints which requires samples at the extreme of tolerances.
Testing and compliance criteria
The number of test samples to be tested (or assessed) shall be in accordance with clause 11.1 .The results
of all performance tests shall be recorded and held by the manufacturer for at least 10 years after the last
date or production of the product(s) to which they apply.

8.3 Factory production control (FPC)
8.3.1 General
The manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain an FPC system to ensure that the products
placed on the market conform to the declared performance characteristics and to all requirements of this
standard. The FPC system shall consist of procedures (works' manual), regular inspections and tests
and/or assessments and the use of the results to control raw and other incoming materials or
components, equipment, the production process and the product. Records shall remain legible, readily
identifiable and retrievable.
The FPC system may be part of a Quality Management System, e.g. in accordance with ISO 9001:2008. An
FPC system conforming with the requirements of ISO 9001:2008, and made specific to the requirements of
this standard, shall be considered to satisfy the above requirements. The results of inspections, tests or
assessments requiring action shall be recorded, as shall any action taken. The action to be taken when
control values or criteria are not met shall be recorded and retained for the period specified in the
manufacturer's FPC procedures.
If the manufacturer has the component designed, manufactured, assembled, packed, processed and/or
labelled by subcontracting, FPC of the original manufacturer may be taken into account. However, where
subcontracting takes place, the manufacturer shall retain the overall control of the component and ensure
that he receives all the information that is necessary to fulfill his responsibilities according to this
European Standard.
34
8.4 FPC requirements for all manufacturers
8.4.1General
The manufacturer shall establish procedures to ensure that the production tolerances allow for the
products performances to be in conformity with the declared values, derived from initial performance
testing.
The characteristics, and the means of verification, are given in Table 17. The minimum testing frequencies
apply to permanent production in large quantities with a stable process. The actual testing frequencies to
be used in order to ensure permanent conformity of the products shall be fixed by the manufacturer's
FPC, taking into account the production rate and the process control measures which are implemented.
The manufacturer shall record the results of the tests specified above. These records shall at least include
the following information:
- identification of the product tested;
- the date of sampling and testing;
- the test methods performed;
- the test results.

8.4.2 FPC for tensile testing
During the manufacturing process the manufacturer shall carry out suitable tests in order to verify the
tensile properties. These tests may be:
a) a batch sampling system whereby samples are obtained from the pipe spigot or, for fittings, from
samples cast separately or attached with the castings concerned. Test bars are machined from these
samples and tensile tested in accordance with 12.1; or
b) a system of process control (e.g. by non-destructive testing) where a positive correlation can be
demonstrated with the tensile properties specified in 12.1.6. Testing verification procedures are based on
the use of comparator samples having known and verifiable properties. This system is supported by
tensile testing in accordance with 12.1 and 12.1.6.
The frequency of testing is related to the system of production and quality control used by the
manufacturer. The maximum batch sizes shall be as given in 11.1.

CEMENT MORTAR LINING
F.1 MATERIALS
F.1.1 Cement
The cement used for the lining shall conform to the existing standards on cement. The type of cement to
be used is to be mutually decided between the purchaser and manufacturer. Normal recommendation are:
I. Portland and Portland Slag cement (as per or IS:455) mortar lining perform rather well and have an
expected life of approximately 50 years in soft water with moderate amount of aggressive CO2 and
when pH is within 6 to 9. Longer service life can be obtained by increasing the mortar lining
thickness.
II. Where cement mortar lining may be exposed to sulphate attack, ordinary Portland cement should be
replaced by sulphate resisting Portland cement (as per IS:12330 or IS:6909)and or Blast Furnace Slag
Cement which has blast furnace slag more than 50 %. The sulphate concentration limit in water
which needs sulphate resisting Portland cement is approximately 3000 mg/litre, in similar
concentration blast furnace slag cements can also be used because they possess an equally good
resistance to sulphate attack in addition to other better properties.
III. The recommended type of cement used for lining are as given below:
Table F.1
Water Characteristics Portland Blast-furnace Slag Cement/ Sulfate

F.1.2 Sand
The sand used shall have a controlled granulometric distribution from fine to coarser elements; it shall be
clean and shall be composed of inert, hard, strong and stable granular particles.
The fine fraction comprising particles passing through a sieve of aperture size 0, 125 mm shall not be
more than 10 % by mass;
The fraction comprising grains up to a maximum diameter equal to one-third of the normal thickness of
the mortar lining shall not be less than 50 % by mass.
The coarsest fraction (comprising particles which do not pass through a sieve of the aperture size closest
to half the normal thickness of the mortar lining) shall not exceed 5% by mass.
F.1.3 Water
The water used for the preparation of the mortar shall be drinking water or water of comparable quality.
F.1.4 Mortar
The mortar of the lining shall be composed of cement, sand and water.
Additives, which shall be specified, may be used, provided that they do not prejudice the quality of the
coating and that of the transported water. The mortar shall be thoroughly mixed and shall have a
consistency, which results in a dense and homogeneous lining.
The mortar shall contain by mass at least one part of cement to 3.5 parts of sand.
63
Compressive strength of mortar shall be conducted with the actual sand, cement, water ratio available in
the freshly applied lining and tested and records of each supply is maintained.
F.2 Condition of the Interior Surface of the Fitting before Application of the Lining
All foreign bodies, loose scale or any other material, which could be detrimental to good contract between
the metal and the lining, shall be removed from the surface to which the lining is to be applied.
The inner surface of fitting shall also be free of any metal projections likely to protrude beyond 50% the
thickness of the lining.
F.3 Application of the Lining
A Centrifugal spinning process or a centrifuged sprinkler or a combination of both methods applies the
cement mortar lining at works.
Apart from the inner surface of the joint, the parts of the pipe coming into contact with the transported
water shall be entirely covered with mortar.
Once centrifuging is finished, the lining shall be cured at temperatures greater than 4 C. Any loss of water
from the mortar by evaporation shall be sufficiently slow so that hardening is not impeded.
After lining, the pipe shall be transferred to a curing area in such a manner as to prevent damage to the
lining, and shall remain undisturbed for a minimum period of 24 h.
F.4 Repair of Lining
Repairs to damaged or defective areas are allowable. The damaged mortar shall first be removed from
these areas. Then using, for example, a trowel with fresh mortar so that a continuous lining having a
constant thickness is again obtained shall repair the defective part.
For the repair operation, the mortar shall have a suitable consistency, if necessary, additives may be
included to obtain good adhesion against the side of the existing undamaged mortar.
F.5 Thickness of the Lining
The normal thickness of the lining and the minimum permissible mean and local values are given in the
table-F 2. Where the fluid being conveyed is aggressive to a cement mortar, the purchaser may specify a
thicker cement mortar lining.
At the pipe ends, the lining may be reduced to values below the minimum thickness. The length of the
chamfer shall be as small as possible but, in any case, shall be less than 50 mm.
F.6 Determination of Lining Thickness
During manufacture the thickness of the lining shall be measured, about 200mm away from the end face,
on the freshly applied lining by a spear having a diameter of 1.5mm or less and controlled on the finished
hardened lining by means of a suitable gauge e.g. magnetic.
F.7 Surface Condition of the Hardened Lining
The surface of the cement mortar lining shall be uniformly smooth. Only isolated grains of sand are
allowed to appear on the surface of the lining. The lining shall be such that it cannot be dislodged with
pressure of hand and shall be free from corrugations or ridges that could reduce the thickness of the
lining to less than the minimum value at one point, as specified in the table-F2.

NOTE :- Cement Mortar linings at pipe ends may have a chamfer of maximum length of 50mm.
On contraction of the lining, the formation of cracks cannot be avoided. These cracks, together with other
isolated cracks which may result from manufacture or may develop during transportation, are acceptable
up to a width given in the above.
Fine crazing and hairline cracks associated with cement rich surface may appear in dry linings. When
shrinkage cracks inherent to cement-bound materials have developed in the dry linings, the crack width
and the corresponding radial displacement shall not exceed the values given in Table F 2.
Storage of pipes in a hot, dry environment can cause metal expansion and mortar shrinkage, which may
result in the dry lining developing areas of disbondment, and shrinkage cracks exceeding the width given
in Table F2. When the lining is re-exposed to water, it will swell by absorption of moisture and the cracks
will close to conform to Table F 2 and will eventually heal by an autogenously process.
F.8 Seal Coat
F.8.1 General
When specified the cement lining shall be given a seal coat of approved ISI marked bituminous material or
any other epoxy based material compatible with Cement Mortar Lining. Other seal - coat materials may be
used, but they shall be agreed on at the time of purchase and shall be specified on the purchase order.

CALCULATION METHOD FOR EXTERNAL LOAD & HEIGHTS OF COVER FOR BURIED PIPELINES
G.1 Calculations Method
G.1.1 Calculation Formula

The method is based on an ovalization calculation according to the formula below:
100 K ( Pe Pt )
=
8S ( fxE ' )
where:
is the pipe ovalization (%);

K is the bedding factor;
Pe is the pressure from earth loading, in kilonewtons per square metre;
Pt is the pressure form traffic loading, in kilonewtons per square metre;
S is the pipe diametral stiffness in kilonewtons per square meter, see table G.1;
f is the factor of lateral pressure (f = 0.061);
E is the modulus of soil reaction, in kilonewtons per square metre.
The ovalization calculated by means of this formula should not exceed the allowable ovalization shown in the
table G.1. The allowable ovalization shown in the table G.1. The allowable ovalization increases with DN while
remaining well below the value that the internal cement mortar lining can withstand without damage; in
addition, it provides a safety factor of 1.5 with respect to the elastic limit of ductile iron in bending (500 MPa
minimum) by limiting the stress in the pipe wall at 330 MPa; finally, it is limited to 4% for DN 800.
G 1 .1.2 Pressure from Earth Loading
The pressure Pe, uniformly distributed at the top of the pipe over a distance equal to the external diameter, is
calculated according to the earth prism method by the formula below:
Pe = H
Where
Pe is the pressure from earth loading, in Kilo Newton per square meter;
is the unit weight of backfill, in Kilo Newton per cubic meter;
H is the height of cover, in meters, that is the distance from the top of the pipe to be ground surface.
In the absence of other data, the unit weight of the soil is taken as being equal to 20 kN/m3 in order to cover
the vast majority of cases. If a preliminary geotechnical survey confirms that the actual unit weight of the
backfill will be less than 20 kN/m3, the actual value may be used for determining Pe. If, however, it
appears that the actual value will be more than 20 kN/m3, the actual value should be used.
G I.1.3 Pressure from Traffic Loading
The pressure Pt, uniformly distributed at the top of the pipe over a distance equal to the external diameter,
is calculated by means of the formula below:
Pt = 40 /H (1 – 2 x 10-4 DN)
Where;
Pt is the pressure from traffic loading in Kilo Newton per square meter;
is the traffic load factor.
This formula is not valid for H < 0.3 m.

There types of traffic loading are to be considered:
- traffic areas with main roads, = 1.5: this is the general case of all roads, except access roads;
- traffic areas with access roads, = 0.75: roads where lorry traffic is prohibited;
- rural areas, = 0.5: all other cases.
66
It should be noticed that all pipelines should be designed for at least = 2 should be adopted.
G I.1.4 Bedding Factor, K
The bedding factor depends upon the soil pressure distribution at the top of the fitting (over a distance
equal to the external diameter) and at the invert of the fitting (over a distance corresponding to the
theoretical bedding angle 2 ).Probable values of K are suggested in Table – I.
G I.1.5 Factor of Lateral Pressure, f
The factor of lateral pressure , is equal to 0.061; this corresponds to a parabolic distribution of the lateral
soil pressure over an angle of 100°, according to the IOWA-Spangler model.
G I.1.6 Modulus of Soil Reaction, E

The modulus of soil reaction E, depends upon the nature of soil used in the fitting zone and upon the
laying conditions. Table I given below recommends the value of K and E depending on various trench
condition.
TableG.1 – Modulus of soil reaction

a. Depending on the type of soil and its moisture content, a standard proctor density of 70% to 80%
will normally be achieved by simply dumping the soil in the trench.

Fittings wall thicknesses, stiffness and diametral deflection
H. 1 General
Ductile iron fittings can undergo large diametral deflections in operation while keeping all their functional
characteristics. Allowable pipe diametral deflections, when the pipeline is in service, are given in
Tables D.1 through Table D.7, together with their minimum diametral stiffnesses, which allow the fittings
to withstand large heights of cover and/or heavy traffic loads in a wide range of installation conditions.
H. 2 Stiffness and diametral deflection
The diametral deflection, in percent, is one hundred times the vertical fitting deflection, in millimetres,
divided by the initial pipe external diameter DE, in millimetres. The values of allowable diametral
deflection given in Table D.1 through Table D.7 apply to cement lined C20, C25, C30, C40, C50, C64, and
C100 fittings; they provide joint integrity as well as safety against overstressing of the pipe wall and
excessive cracking of the lining. The maximum allowable deflection of cement mortar lined pipe is 4 %.
Manufacturers' catalogues may introduce more stringent limitations, such as 3 %.
The diametral stiffness S of a pipe is given by the formula:

H. 3 Method of Test for Diametral Stiffness of Fittings
The test shall be carried out on a fitting section 500 mm 20 mm long, cut from the fitting Barrel. The
fitting section shall be placed on a support approximately 200 mm wide and 600 mm long, having a V
shape with an angle between 170° and 180° (see Figure D1 ). The load shall be applied at the fitting crown
through a loading beam approximately 50 mm wide and 600 mm long. Both the V support and the loading
beam shall be covered with a sheet of elastomer with a thickness of 10 mm 5 mm and a hardness
greater than or equal to 50 IRHD. Before the test, the pipe section shall be immersed in water at ambient
temperature for approximately 24 h.
The load shall be increased steadily until it reaches the test load corresponding to the minimum diametral
stiffness given in Table 10 and kept constant for 1 min. The vertical deflection of the fitting section shall be
measured, recorded and the calculated ovalization shall not exceed the allowable value given in Table G1.
In addition, the fitting section shall be visually inspected in order to check that there is no damage to the
external and internal coatings, which can affect their function.

Fig D1
The load shall then be increased until the vertical deflection reaches twice the value previously
measure. The load shall be kept constant for 1 min.

Annex - I
(normative)
Quality assurance
The manufacturer has the responsibility to demonstrate the conformity of his products with this standard
by:
Carrying out type tests (see E.1); and
Controlling the quality of the manufacturing process (see E.2).
I. 1 Type tests
The type tests specified in clauses 5 and 7 of this standard are carried out either by the manufacturer or,
at his request, by a competent testing institute in order to demonstrate compliance with the requirements
of this standard. Full reports of these type tests are retained by the supplier of fittings and gaskets as
evidence of compliance.
If fittings or gaskets are supplied separately from pipes, full reports of the type tests on these components,
and their compatibility with pipes, shall be made available to the client by the fittings or gaskets suppliers.
I.2 Quality control
The manufacturer controls the quality of his products during their manufacture by a system of process
control in order to comply with the technical requirements of this standard.
It is recommended that the manufacturer’s quality system conforms to ISO 9001.
If third party certification to ISO 9001 is involved, it is recommended that the certification body is
accredited to relevant international standard, as applicable.
76
Annex - J
(informative)
Safety factors
The following safety factors are used in the design for minimum thicknesses for ductile iron pipes:
Table J.1 - Safety factors for ductile iron fittings

Design criteria Safety factor Mechanical property
PFA 3.0 Minimum ultimate tensile strength of 420
MPa
PMA 2.5 Minimum ultimate tensile strength of 420
MPa
External loads 1.5 Yield bending strength of 500 MPa.
77
Annex – K
(informative)
In the absence of other data, the unit weight of the soil is taken as being equal to 20 kN/m3 in order to cover
the vast majority of cases. If a preliminary geotechnical survey confirms that the actual unit weight of the
backfill will be less than 20 kN/m3, the actual value may be used for determining Pe. If, however, it
appears that the actual value will be more than 20 kN/m3, the actual value should be used.
K I.1.3 Pressure from Traffic Loading
The pressure Pt, uniformly distributed at the top of the fitting over a distance equal to the external
diameter, is calculated by means of the formula below:
Pt = 40 /H (1 – 2 x 10-4 DN)
Where;
Pt is the pressure from traffic loading in Kilo Newton per square meter;
is the traffic load factor.
This formula is not valid for H < 0.3 m.

There types of traffic loading are to be considered:
- traffic areas with main roads, = 1.5: this is the general case of all roads, except access roads;
- traffic areas with access roads, = 0.75: roads where lorry traffic is prohibited;
- rural areas, = 0.5: all other cases.
It should be noticed that all pipelines should be designed for at least = 2 should be adopted.
K I.1.4 Bedding Factor, K
The bedding factor depends upon the soil pressure distribution at the top of the fitting (over a distance
equal to the external diameter) and at the invert of the fitting (over a distance corresponding to the
theoretical bedding angle 2 ).Probable values of K are suggested in Table – I.
K I.1.5 Factor of Lateral Pressure, f
The factor of lateral pressure , is equal to 0.061; this corresponds to a parabolic distribution of the lateral
soil pressure over an angle of 100°, according to the IOWA-Spangler model.
K I.1.6 Modulus of Soil Reaction, E

The modulus of soil reaction E, depends upon the nature of soil used in the fitting zone and upon the
laying conditions. Table I given below recommends the value of K and E depending on various trench
condition.

Soil Group F b b b b b
c. Depending on the type of soil and its moisture content, a standard proctor density of 70% to 80%
will normally be achieved by simply dumping the soil in the trench.
d. Use and E value of 0 unless it can be ensured that a higher value will be achieved consistently.
