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 mm and 115 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 of PVC-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.
The thread series specified in IS 7008 (Part 1) is not compatible with the pipe diameters specified in
this standard.

Product Description
Description of Product(s)
1.1 General
The main use of these types of pipe is in transportation of water in general and use in bore well and
also in tube well in particular. Pipes made from cast iron, nodular iron and fabricated steel are in use
for a long time in various applications. UPVC pipes are now in increased use as an alternate to cast
iron, ductile iron and steep pipes. UPVC pipes are highly economical in comparison to pipes made
from other materials. Plastic pipes offer high corrosion resistance to aggressive chemical media.
Moreover, due to very smooth surfaces, the pipes are not prone to crust formation on the internal
surface, which can have a detrimental effect on the water carrying capacity of the pipe. Ease of
handling due to lightweight, and ease of laying and installation are other advantages. Plastic lends
itself to extrusion, which has made possible uninterrupted production of pipes in continuous lengths.
But, UPVC pipes having a fair amount of rigidity cannot take undue bends. Therefore, although made
in continuous lengths, the pipe has to be cut into convenient lengths before they can be joined and
laid into a pipeline.
UPVC pipes have their negative features as well. They require great care during laying. They are
susceptible to damages when laid above ground level, and also due to impacts and external blows.
1.2 Classification
UPVC Screen and Casing Pipes for Bore wells /Tube wells are broadly classified as Ribbed screen,
Plain screen and Plain casing pipes. Ribbed screen, Plain screen and Plain casing pipes are generally
produced in nominal diameter from 35 mm to 400 mm .The following definitions will be applicable
for different category of pipes.
Ribbed Screen Pipe - Pipe with external longitudinal ribs and transverse (perpendicular to pipe axis)
slots. This shall be designated as RMS pipe and RDS pipe.
Plain Screen Pipe - Plain surface pipe with transverse slots. This shall be designated as PMS pipe
and PDS pipe.
Casing Pipe - Solid wall plain surface pipe, used as extension pipe to the screen pipe. Casing pipes
are classified into those suitable for shallow, medium and deep depth wells as under:

designated as: RMS 200 x 1.5 x 2000.

Section III: Manufacturing Process and in-process Quality Controls
3.0 General
UPVC pipes are made by extrusion process. This is possible due to the flexibility of the
plastic material when heated to a high temperature and solidification when cooled. The
present day technology permits control of dimensions to close tolerances. Production of
UPVC pipes consists of plasticizing and homogenizing the PVC compound and shaping it
into pipe in an extruder. The PVC resin and the additives are mixed in a heater/cooler mixer
to form the PVC compound. Mixing is an important stage of the manufacturing process, and
has an impact on classification of pipes. Thus formed compound is fed into the extruder
through a spiral flow conveyer and hopper. The compound gets molten in the heating zone of
the extruder, which is then extruded into pipes passing through a mandrel/die arrangement.
Normally, single screw or twin-screw type extruders are used. Single screw extruders are
used for producing small size pipes with thick wall thickness. Twin-screw extruders ensure
good homogeneity of the blend, can produce large sizes and thickness, and have higher
productivity. Different mandrel/die combinations are used for different pipe sizes. In the
vacuum sizing/pressure tank, the dimensions are controlled to within the tolerances required.
The pipe is then passed through chilled water in a spray tank where the pipe attains its
rigidity. The extruded pipe is passed through a traction (also called hauling) arrangement to
extract the pipe at a regulated speed. This also controls the dimensions of the pipe.
The pipes are then cut to size in a cutter. Since the cutter platform moves with the extruded
pipe, cutting process does not hinder the extrusion process.

by the Bureau. Copies of any records and other connected papers that may be required by
the Bureau shall be made available at any time on request. .
QUALITYCONTROL- It is recommended that as far as possible, Statistical Quality Control
(SQC) methods may be used for controlling the quality of the product during production as
envisaged in this scheme [See IS 397 (Part I)to IS397 (Part 4)J.In addition, efforts should be
made to gradually introduce a Quality Management System as per IS/ISO9001.

engraving provided always that the pipe conforms to all the requirements 9f the specification.
In case the mark is applied by engraving, it shall be applied in such a manner that it does not

4.5 Guidelines for writing scope of licence:
Scope of licence will be based on manufacturing and testing capability of the
manufacturer i.e availability of Die bushes/Die mandrels/pressure sizer for
Nominal diameter of pipes and also applicant sample(s) offered as per grouping
guidelines of CMD.
4.6 Guidelines for inclusion of new variety:
Inclusion of new variety shall be permitted based on manufacturing and testing
capability for these varieties and also on samples are offered for inclusion based
on grouping guideline.
4.7 Sample size including guideline for drawl of separate samples when samples
are required to be sent to different Labs.
Two pipes of 3 meters length are sufficient for complete test as per IS
12818:2010.
500 gms PVC resin may also be drawn in case of applicant sample(s).
It should be ensured that samples are of same batch for drawl of separate samples
to be sent to different Labs.
4.8 Manner of sealing sample(s):
For smaller Nominal Diameter pipes tags having information about batch no. of
sample, code no and signature of inspecting officer may be sealed by BIS Brass
seal using sealing wax.
In case of larger Nominal Diameter of pipes Inspecting officer may give above
information on the pipe and also signed over pipe.
4.9 Remnants of sample are non returnable and to be kept in Lab for a fixed
period (generally kept for 3 months) and then to be scraped.
4.10 A separate record shall be maintained giving information relating to the
rejection of the production not conforming to the requirements of the
specification and the method of its disposal. Such material shall in no case be
