BIS CERTIFICATION FOR CENTRIFUGALLY CAST IRON PRESSURE PIPES IS 1536:2001

In today's competitive landscape, maintaining market presence without a certified, high-quality product can be challenging. Obtaining a BIS license may also be essential for selling products in the Indian market. To achieve BIS certification and ensure product quality, manufacturers must adhere to the specified Indian standards.

Lets delve deeper into IS 1536:2001 for Centrifugally cast (Spun) iron pressure pipes for water, gas, and sewage.

IS 1536:2001 encompasses centrifugally cast (Spun) iron pressure pipes utilized for water, gas, and sewage applications. This Indian standard was adopted by the BIS subsequent to the approval of the draft by the Pig Iron and Cast Iron Sectional Committee, under the Metallurgical Engineering Division Council.

This standard outlines the requirements for centrifugally cast (spun) iron pressure pipes used in water, gas, and sewage main lines, manufactured in metal or sand-lined molds. It applies to cast iron pipes featuring sockets/spigots (lead caulked or push-on flexible) or flanges as specified. Additionally, the standard covers mechanical and push-on joints, where the inner profile of the socket end and spigot end of the pipe is determined by the type of rubber gasket used, ensuring consistent dimensions for safety and interchangeability.

The metal employed in pipe manufacturing must meet high-quality standards and satisfy the mechanical requirements outlined in the standard. Manufacturers have the flexibility to choose any production method, provided it adheres to the specifications set forth in this standard.

CLASSIFICATION

In this standard, pipes are categorized into LA, A, and B classes according to their thickness. Additionally, specific purposes may necessitate the derivation of Classes C, D, and E.

REQUIRED TESTS

Ring test and Tensile Test
Brinell hardness Test
Hydrostatic Test

Manufacturers are required to ensure compliance with this standard by overseeing the manufacturing process and conducting various tests.

Every pipe must bear permanent and clear markings including the manufacturer's name, nominal diameter, class, pipe mass, and last two digits of the manufacturing year in accordance with the specified standard. Additionally, the pipe may feature the Standard Mark (ISI Mark). To utilize the standard mark (ISI Mark), the manufacturer is required to obtain a BIS license from the Bureau of Indian Standards. This license is granted following a thorough evaluation of manufacturing infrastructure, production processes, and quality control and testing capabilities during an inspection of the manufacturing premises.
