FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Third Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft
finalized by the Pig Iron and Cast Iron Sectional Committee had been approved by the Metallurgical
Engineering Division Council.
The Standard Specification for Cast Iron Fittings for Pressure Pipes for Water, Gas and Sewage was
published in 1960 and subsequently revised in 1969 and 1976. While reviewing this standard in the light
of developments taken place in India and abroad the Committee deeided to have a separate Indian
Standard for short bodied Cast Iron specials meant for Mechanical, Push-on and Flanged fitting which
has since been published as IS 13382 : ,1992 Cast iron specials for mechanical and push-on flexible joints
for pressure pipe lines for water, gas and sewage.
Since a large number of patterns are available with Indian foundries conforming to the present standard
( IS 1538) the Committee felt to continue the same dimensions and design for fittings suitable for lead
joint and flanged joint covered in this standard.
This standard when published will supersede the following Indian standards:
IS 1538
( Part 1 ) : 1976 General requirements
(‘Part 2 ) : 1976 S pecific requirements for sockets and spigots of pipes
( Part 3 ) : 1976 Specific requirements for sockets of fiittings
( Part 4 ) : 1976 Specific requirements for flanges of pipes and fittings
( Part 5 ) : 1976 Specific requirements for raised flanges
( Part 6 ) : 1976 Specific requirements for standard flange drilling of flanged pipes and fittings
( Part 7 ) : 1976 Specific requirements for flanged sockets
( Part 8 ) : 1976. Specific requirements for flanged spigots
( Part 9 ) : 1976 Specific requirements for collars
( Part 10 ) : 1976 Specific requirements for double socket bends
( Part 11 ) : 1976 Specific requirements for tees, all sockets
( Part 12 ) : 1978 Specific requirements for double socket tee with flanged branch
( Part 13 ) : 1976 Specific requirements for crosses, all sockets
( Part 14 ) : 1984 Specific requirements for double socket tapers ( third revision )

( Part 19 ) : 1976 Specific requirements for all flanged tees
( Part 20 ) : 1976 Specific requirements for all flanged crosses

( Part 23 ) : 1976 Specific requirements for blank flanges

In order to have national coordination with other International Standards assistance has been derived
from IS0 13/1978 Grey Iron Pipes Special dCastings and Grey Iron Parts for Pressure Main Lines

This standard differs from the IS0 Recommendation in the following respects:
a) The term ‘fittings’ has been used throughout the specification in preference to the term ‘special
castings’,
b) The Brine11 hardness number has been brought down to 210 at the external unmachined
surface instead of 215 at the centre of the thickness ( see 4.3 ), and
c) Tolerances on drameters of socket and spigot have been modified.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the
final values, observed or calculated, expressing the results of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised)‘. The number of
significant places retained in the rounded offvalue should be the same as that of the specified value in
this standard.
