Cement Matrix Products Sectional Committee, CED 53
FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Third 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.
This standard was first published in 1959 and subsequently revised in 1978 and 2001. In the first revision in 1978,
the major modifications included introduction of prestressed concrete cylinder pipes, requirements of fittings,
provision of more details on design criteria for the pipes, etc. In the second revision in 2001, the changes incorporated
included modification in design and other aspects, inclusion of typical worked out example of design, inclusion of
detailed inspection procedure, and inclusion of additional tests on pipes.
This standard lays down the requirements of prestressed concrete pipes primarily used for the conveyance of
water and sewerage and specials for use with them. Two types of prestressed concrete pipes are covered by this
specification, namely, prestressed concrete cylinder pipes and prestressed concrete non-cylinder pipes.
While reviewing this standard, in the light of experience gained since its last revision, the Committee decided to
revise it also considering the present practices being followed by concrete pressure pipe industry. The Committee
further decided to update the standard considering the tests on finished product followed in other countries/
internationally.
This revision incorporates number of modifications, the most significant of them being:
a) Modification in design and other related aspects,
b) Inclusion of detailed specifications of cylinder type pipe,
c) Inclusion of typical worked out example of design of cylinder type pipe, and
d) Inclusion of additional tests on pipes.
In the formulation of this standard, assistance has been derived for EN 642 : 1994 ‘Prestressed concrete pressure
pipes, cylinder and non-cylinder’, European Committee for Standardization (CEN).
The composition of the Committee responsible for formulation of this standard is given at Annex M.
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.
