IS 13356 : 1992 Specification for precast ferrocement water tanks up to 10000 litres capacity

1 Scope

This standard covers the requirements of precast ferrocementwater tanks of capacity 270 to 10000 litres.

Note 1 The capacity of tank means the net capacity which is thevolume of the actual usable water confined between the levels ofthe centres of the overflow and outlet sockets. Gross capacity of atank shall be taken as the total storage capacity lncluding thedead storage and free board.

Note 2 The following net capacities are recommended fordifferent uses:UsesNet Capacity litres
