FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Fourth Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Cement Matrix Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division
Council.

Precast concrete pipes arc widely used for water mains, sewers, culverts and in irrigation. This standard lays
down the requirements of quality and dimensions for concrete pipes to serve as guidance to the manufacturers
and users in producing and obtaining concrete pipes of suitable quality. Guidance regarding laying of concrete
pipes is given in IS 783: 1985 'Code of practice for laying of concrete pipes'.

In case liquid conveyed by the pipeline is likely to be harmful to concrete. necessary precautions should be
taken.

This standard was first published in 1956 and subsequently revised in 1961. 1971 and 198R. '1he present revision
has been taken up with a view to incorporating the modifications found necessary as a result of experience
gained with the use of this standard. This revision also incorporates some of the important amendments issued to
the last version of the standard including those relating to restricting the use of plain ended pipes and incorporation
of detailed provisions regarding pipes manufactured by vibrated casting process and various decisions taken by
the Sectional Committee from time to time.

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result ofa test or analysis. shall be rounded offin accordance with IS 2 : 1960
. Rules lor 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.

S.5 Concrete or Mortar
5.S.I The concrete quality (concrete mix, maximum
water-cement ratio, minimum cement content, etc) shall
be as per IS 456 for at least very severe environment
exposure condition. Design mix requirements shall be
as per IS 456. However, in case of pipes cast by spinning
process higher cement contents, more fines and higher
water-cement ratio may be the need of the process. For
non-pressure pipes, if mortar is used, it shall have a
minimum cement content of 450 kg/m 1 and a
compressive strength not less than 35 N/mm2 at 28 days.
For pressure pipes if mortar is used, it shall have a
minimum cement content of 600 kg/m ' and a
compressive strength not less than 35 N/mm2 at 28 days.
However, in case of pipes manufactured by vibrated
casting process, concrete shall have minimum
compressive strength as indicated in Tables 4, 5, 7 and
8 for the respective classes of pipes.
Where the process of manufacture is such that the
strength of concrete or mortar in the pipe differs from
that given by tests on cubes, the two may be related by
a suitable conversion factor. (fthe purchaser requires
evidence of this factor, he shall ask for it before placing
the order. The conversion factor for 28 days
compressive strength for spun concrete may be taken
as 1.25 in the absence of any data.
5.5.2 For pressure pipes, splitting tensile strength of
concrete cylinders at 28 days, when tested in accordance
with IS 5816, shall be not less than 2.5 N/mm2.
5.5.3 Compressive strength tests shall be conducted
on 150 mm cubes in accordance with the relevant

NOTES
1 Longitudinal reinforcement 'ihall he propcrfiunul to the length of )IIC,,"l:t cage as given in Tubles 2 to JL
2 If mild ~tc(1 is used lor spiral reinforcement. the weight specified above shall be increased to )40/125.
9.1.2 The pipes shall be free from defects resulting
from imperfect grading of the aggregate, mixing or
moulding.
9.1.3 Pipes shall be tree from local dents or bulges
greater than 3.0 mm in depth and extending over a
length in any direction greater than twice the barrel
wall thickness.
9.1.4 Pipes may be repaired, if' necessary, because of
accidental injury during manufacture or handling and
shall be accepted if in the opinion of the purchaser,
the repairs are sound and appropriately finished and
cured, and the repaired pipe conforms 10 the
requirements of this specification.
9.2 Deviation rrom Straight
The deviation from straight in any pipe throughout its
effective length, tested by means of a rigid straight
edge as described in IS 3597 shall not exceed, for all
diameters, 3 mm for every metre run.
10 TESTS
10.1 Test Specimens
All pipes for testing purposes shall be selected at
random from the stock of the manufacturer and shall
27
be such as would not otherwise be rejected under this
standard.
10.1.1 During manufacture, tests on compressive
strength of concrete cubes shall be done as described
in IS 516. For pressure pipes, splitting tensile strength
tests of concrete cylinders shall be carried out as
described in IS 5816. The manufacturer shall supply,
when requ ired to do so by the purchaser or his
representative, the results of compressive tests of
concrete cubes (sO'e 5.5.1) and split tensile tests of'
concrete cylinder (see 5.5.2) made from the concrete
used for the pipes. The manufacturer shall supply
cylinders or cubes for test purposes required by the
purchaser, and such cylinders or cubes shall withstand
the tests prescribed in 5,5.1 and 5,5.2. Every pressure
pipe shall be tested by the manufacturer for the
hydrostatic test pressure (.fee 4.1). For non-pressure
pipes, 2 percent of the pipes shall be tested for
hydrostatic test pressure.
10.2 The specimens of pipes selected in accordance
with 10.1 shall be subjected to the following tests in
accordance with IS 3597:
a) Hydrostatic test,
