FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, atler the draft finalized
by the Cement Matrix Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
Asbestos cement pressure pipes are being used in this country for more than 60 years and considerable
is available in regard to their use, over ground and underground, for water supply pressure mains.
experience
This standard was originally published in 1960 and subsequently revised in 1970, 1980 and in 1989. In the first
rev ision, standard dimensions for three classes of pipes (Class 5, 10 and 15) of diameter 80 to 200 mm only were
~lven, [n the second revision, detailed dimensions for pipesof Class 20 and 25 were included, in addition to
covering pipes of diameter 80 to 600 mm for all the five classes of pipes. In the revision, dimensions for pipes of
diameter 700 to 1000 mm and two new classes of pipes, that is, Class 5 TP and Class 10 TP for diameter 700 to
1 000 mm were included and addition of ground silica or pozzolana to replace ordina~ Portland cement in the
manufacture was permitted.
This revision is being brought out to incorporate the experience gained in use of this standard. Though the earlier
version was also largely based on the corresponding 1S0 Standard, namely, 1S0 160: 1980 Asbestos cement
pressure pipes and joints, in this revision the provisions have been further aligned with the corresponding provisions
in I SO 160:
1980. However, care has been taken to retain or modify/im.prove upon some of the provisions in the
context of our country. Some of the provisions such as detailed composition of pipes, data on thickness requirements
of pipes, marking details, provisions regarding joint, etc, given in much detail in the third revision of the standard
have been retained. In this standard Class 5, Class 5 TP and Class 10 TP has been deleted for all sizes and Class
10 have been eliminated for size 200 mm and above, considering field problems. The methods of test of these
pipes have been given in a separate standard, namely, IS 5913:2003 Methods of test for asbestos cement products.
This standard covers all requirements of asbestos cement pressure pipes-manufactured
in the country for
coi]sumption as well as for export. Necessaryguidance
regarding the selection of asbestos cement pressure
may be obtained from Indian Standard Guidelines for selection of asbestos cement pipes subject to external
wit h or without internal pressure (under preparatiorr). Guidance for laying of Asbestos Cement Pressure
may be obtained from IS 6530: 1972 Code of practice for laying of asbestos cement pressure pipes.

In the formulation of this standard, due weightage has been given to international co-ordination among the standards
and practices prevailing in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field in this country.
The composition
of the Committee
responsible
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result 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 off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

External diameters at finished ends of the pipes specified in the table are already in practical use and are specified for the purpose
of interchangeabil ity. Due to inherent characteristics of the manufacturing process and common moulds for all classes, external diameter
may not be equal to internal diameter plus twice the thickness in all cases.
