IS 8329 : 2000 Centrifugally Cast (Spun) Ductile Iron Pressure Pipes for Water, Gas and Sewage - Specification

1 Scope

1.1 This standard specifies the requirements and associated testmethods applicable to ductile iron pipes manufactured in metal(lined or unlined) or sand moulds and their joints for theconstruction of pipe lines:

- to convey water, sewage or gas

- to be installed below or above ground

- operated with or without pressure

Note 1 - By sand it is to be understood, sand or mineral basedmaterials used in foundry trade irrespective of the type of bondingagents.

Note 2 - All pressures are relative pressures expressed in MPa(1MPa = 10 bar).

1.2 This standard also specifies requirements for materials,dimensions and tolerances, mechanical properties and standardcoatings and linings of ductile iron pipes.
