class NP2, NP3 and NP4.
NP2, NP3 and NP4 class pipes
upto 1200 mm dia.are normally
available in all the major factories.
Larger diameter pipes are made
for specific jobs.
These pipes are supplied with
collar joints or rubber ring joints,
Pipes required to withstand loads

SOCKET SPIGOT RR. JOINTREINFORCED CONCRETE PRESSURE PIPES
General:
Reinforced concrete pressure
pipes with collar or hydraulic
rubber ring joints are used for
water supply lines, irrigation
schemes, sewer rising mains
and similar projects. Indian
Hume Pipe Co. Ltd., has over
‘0 years experience in the
design and manufacture of
reinforced concrete pressure
pipes. Thousands of kilometers
of reinforced concrete pressure
pipes with these joints are in
service throughout Australia,
Europe, India and overseas
countries. They testify to the
efficiency and economy of this
form of pressure pipeline.
Specifications:
Reinforced concrete pressure
pipes are designed and
manufactured in accordance
with one of the following,
as required =
e1S. 458-1971
* Clients’ spacification
* IHP recommendations for
specific jobs.
Nominal effective lengths :
Upto 250 mm diameter—2.0 M
300 mm diameter and above
=25M
Reinforced concrete pressure
pipes are designed to
withstand appropriate external
loads, as well as internal
pressures.
Design:
Pipes can be designed and
manufactured to test pressures
upto and including the
maximum indicated in the
table, For test pressures
somewhat greater than shown,
‘wall thickness may be
increased with corresponding
reduction of bore. Allowable
test pressure for pipes over
600 mm diameter may be
reduced by external loads.
HP engineering staff are
available to assist with all
aspects of pressure pipe design.
Testing:
Alll pressure pipes are subjected
to a hydrostatic pressure test
at IHP factory. The test
pressure is directly related to
the required working pressure
for the pipe and in accordance
with the requirements of the
job. Pressure pipes also
‘subjected to other tests as
specified in the standard.

Rubber rings provide a quick, simple and
effective means of jointing concrete pipes.
When used with rigid concrete pipas :
the strength of the pipe combines with
‘the flexibility of the joint to onsure the
continusd effective operation ef the
pipeling, avan under adverse conditions:
caused by ground movement.
All rubber rings supplied with IHP pipes
‘ere manufactured in accordance with
1S, 5382-1969.
Nature! rubber has compression set
characteristics superior to synthetic rubber
and is normally used. Natural rubber,
however, has low resistance to
hydrocarbons, and in situations where
thoir presonoe is anticipatad,
polychloroprene (Neoprene) rubber rings
ere specified. Quality of rubber is not
affected when it is protected from sun and
light. In underground pipelines, in contact
with weter the life of rubber rings is as
much as that of pipes.

Loss of Head:Structural
Design.
During the last decade the
designing of rigid underground
pipes, their joints and technique
of instellation have been
changing fundamentally from
empirical and traditional methods
to more rational methods
based on the scientific
principles of structural and soil
mechanics. A buried pipeline
is now recognised es « load
bearing structure, and within
the limits of present
knowledge, is designed
with growing confidence.
Condition of
installation.
The magnitude of loads
imposed upon a buried! pipe
by the overlying soil and by
any uniformly distributed
or concentrated surface
surcharge of large or infinite
extant, Gepends first on the
nature density and depti
of soil cover, the intensity of
surchargs, the nature of the
pipe—whather rigid or flexible
and on the conditions in
whieh it is installed—whether
trench or embankment,
Reference is often made to the
menufacturer’s tabuleted load
carrying capacities to select
the appropriate pipe class
when the service load
requirements are known.
This procedure is satisfactory
provided all factors are
considered. However, prior to
Seciding the class of pipe
required, the design engineer
should consider in detail, how
the pipe is to be laid, ie. the
depth of excavation, cover,
backfill material type, trench
width required for practical
installation, minimum density
of beckfill and possible
construction traffic loads.
Trench widths.
For pipes in trench cond
the fill and surcharge loads
depend upon the effective
trench width and whether it is
wide or narrow with respect
to the outsida diamotor of the
pipe and depth of soil covar
Whan installing a pipe, itis
‘essential that the trench width
be specified and excavated
uniformly and not be permitted
to “just happen” in a
haphazard manner
Back filling.
Another aspect of pipe
installation that is neglected is
backfilling. The ability of any
pipe to support an
embankment depends on
adequate side support, It is
essential thet side filling be
thoroughly compacted to at
least 90% of the maximum dry
density as assessed by the
modified ProctorTest Method.
If 90% compaction is not
attained, the ability of the pipe
to carty a given load is
reduced significantly.
Failure to provide side support
may cause failure of the
pipeline atless than the
designed loading and may also
induce difforential sattlement
when the fill above and beside
the conduit does not settle
uniformly.
Surcharge loads.
Pipes in service are subject to
loads generated by earth
pressures and superimposed
surcharges, such as traffic
loads for pipes under road
ways, The aetuel loads vary
according to the class of
foundetion material, depth of
cover, compaction procedure
and whether the pipe is
beneath an embankment or
ina trench.
A loading which is often
‘overlooked and which may
‘excaed the combinad loads is
traffic loading. The trend today
is for larger and consequently
heavy earthmoving equipment.
‘When this equipment is used
in conjunction with pipeline
installation it is often allowed.

directed in the field to the
permanent effect such
transient traffic can have on
‘the pipe.Installation of
Pipes.
The performance of the
pipeline in service depends not
only on the quality of pipe
and joint but also on
installation i, on the design
and execution of bedding,
jointing and backfilling. The
following notes will help to
design and execute installation
properly.
Trench
Preparation.
Trenches should be kept tothe
specified width since any
excessive increase in tranch
width will increase both the
load on the pipe, the quantity
of excavation, end will also
require more bedding material
under the pipe. A tronch
nerrower than that specified
may impede the proper placing
and consolidation af tho
bedding material and restrict
working conditions in the
trench during pipe laying.
Recommended trench widths
for various pipe diameters and
installation conditions are
indicated in tables enclosed
The foundation.
Uniform support along the
pipaline is important. All hard
spots and also soft zones
which can cause differential
settlement should be removed
from the foundation. Bouldars
and soft patches should be
dug out and replaced with well
tamped selected backfill.
isturbance by trampling of
ine soils or caarse grain
material in the tranch bottom
must be avoided. In water
bearing ground sufficient
waterstops should be provided
to provont passage af water
along the trench. Tha water
level should not be allowed to
rise before bavktilling is
completed. Rack ancuring in

Procedure:
For concrete cradin bedding,
precast cradivs ar other
means of support for the pipes
‘et the correct height above
the trench bottom and which
can be safely left in place,
should be regularly placed by
means of a distance gauge and
then boned in to the correct
level and gradient. A layer
of compressible material
should be placed between the
pipe and credie to prevent
the creation of a hard spot at
the cradle
No supports should be used
in 1st class bedding, the top of
which should be trimmed to
the correct gradient, slightiy
above the fine! laval to allow
for e smal| settlement of heavy
pipes, as pre-determined by
‘ial. Timbering or sheeting
should, wherever possible, be
withdrawn as work proceeds
so that no voids are left in the
bedding. The bedding should
be properly compacted,
preferably by mechanical
‘maans.
Care should be exercised to
avoid disturbance of the
bedding bensath the pipe and
to make good any disturbance
which may occur accidentally.
‘The bedding must be dug out
under the pipa sockets so thet
the pipes are supported along
the whole length of their
barrels, and nat on their
sockets only.
The pipe should be suspended
during laying and jointing to
avoid disturbance of the
granular bed, and to prevent
tha whole weight of the pipe
from bearing on the rubber
ring during jointing for Rubber
Ring Joints and allow uniform
Caulking space in the casa of
