Test report
Manufacturer 3 Samples upto 7000 RM
2 Wall thickness
As per Specified value. Average
( to be checked at 4 points and average taken )
Manufacturers
Test report
Manufacturer 3 Samples upto 7000 RM
3 Flexural Behaviour of Duct
Record load at 20 mm deflection & 2 minutes after
20 mm deflection as well as instantaneous
deflection after removing load and residual
deflection after 2 minutes of removing load.
Manufacturers
Test report
Manufacturer 3 Samples upto 7000 RM
# 4 * Flexibility of Duct
Deformation preferably 5% of duct diameter,
determined by passing a plunger through the
duct at specified minimum bending radius.
Internal Duct diameter < 85mm : r = 1800mm
Internal Duct diameter > 85mm : r = 2800mm
Manufacturers
Test report
Manufacturer 3 Samples upto 7000 RM

Lateral Load Resistance
of Duct
Deformation 10% or 5mm whichever is
lesser after 2 minutes of unloading.
Manufacturers
Test report
Manufacturer 3 Samples upto 7000 RM.

* Longitudinal Load
Resistance
Duct should sustain specified load for 10
minute.
Manufacturers
Test report
Manufacturer 3 Samples upto 7000 RM

* Leak Tightness of
duct system
No visually detectable loss of water during the test
period of 5 minutes at Inside pressure of 0.5 bar.
Manufacturers
Test report
Manufacturer 3 Samples upto 7000 RM

* For conformity of these tests, only butt welded joint or joint with heat shrink sleeves is prescribed.

C System Approval Test
1 Wear Resistance Of Duct
Needs to be conducted only once for the project. At times tests conducted for the same
department in the last one year should be accepted and not to be conducted again
2 Bond Behavior of Tendon
Should be conducted once for the project and report submitted to the department prior to
commencement of supplies. At times tests conducted for the same department in the last one
year should be accepted and not to be conducted again
