Disclosure to Promote the Right To Information

Whereas the Parliament of India has set out to provide a practical regime of right to
information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities,
in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the
timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft
finalized by the Plastics Piping Systems Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering
Division Council.

This standard was first published in 1989 and revised in 1992. In this revision, following major modifications
have been made:

a) New class of pipes 'Deep Well Pipes' has been included,

b) Two new sizes 35 rnrn and I 15 mm have been included,
c) Requirements for resistance to external blows at O°C, thread dimensions, thread profile, sealing ring
and opening area have been modified,
d) Vicat softening temperature value has been aligned with IS 4985 : 2000 'Unplasticized PVC pipes for
potable water supplies - Specification', and
e) Tolerances on effective and segmental lengths of pipes have been modified as per current
manufacturing practices.
For guidance on methods of laying and jointing of PVC-U pipes and fitting systems, including storage
reference may be made to IS 7634 (Part 3): 2003 'Plastic pipes selection, handling, storage and installation for
potable water supplies - Code of practice: Part 3 Laying and jointing ofPVC-U pipes'.

The trapezoidal threads specified in this standard deviate from IS 7008 (Part 1) : 1999' ISO metric trapezoidal
screw threads: Part 1Basic profile and maximum material profile (second revision)' for the following reasons:

a) The threads depth specified in IS 7008 (Part I) would result in an unacceptable reduction in wall
thickness.
b) The flat metric trapezoidal thread specified in IS 7008 (Part 1) would give rise to problems in pipe
assembly since the flank diameters would not intersect the profile in the middle of the flank.
c) The thread series specified in IS 7008 (Part 1) is not compatible with the pipe diameters specified in
this standard.

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement ofthis 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 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.
