FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard (Part I) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 26 February 1976, after the draft finalized by the Sanitary Appliances and Water Fittings Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council. 0.2 The injection moulded HDPE fittings are used for connection, welding process, to HDPE pipes covered by IS : 4984-1972*. by

0.3 The requirements of injection moulded HDPE fittings are covered in .seven parts of the standard as given on page 10. This part of the series deals with the general requirements applicable to all IIDPE fittings. Specific requirements of .different types of fittings are covered in separate parts of the standard. 0.4 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 :2-1960t. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified
value in this standard.

1. SCOPE 1.1 This standard ( Part I ) covers general requirements for materials, manufacture, methods.of test and inspection, and marking of all types of injection moulded HDPE fittings intended for connection to HDPE pipes covered by IS : 4984-1972* for potable water supplies.

2. COMPOSITION 2.1 The fittings shall be moulded from a compound consisting of virgin polyethylene in which carbon black and a suitable nonctoxic anti-oxidant are evenly dispersed. The addition of not more than 10 percent of the manufacturers own rework material resulting from the manufacture of fittings to this standard is permissible. No other rework material shall be used. The compound shall have a melt flow index not exceeding 0.4 when tested in accordance with IS : 2530-1963*. 2.1.1 The density 094 g/ml at 27C. 2.1.2 of the base polyethylene shall be greater than

For fittings for which specific requirements have not been laid ln various parts of this standard, Standard Mark may be based ori the general requirements.
NOTE -The use of the Standard Mark is governed by the provisions of the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 1986 and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder. The Standard Mark on products covered by an Indian Standard conveys the assurance that they have been produced to comply with, tho requirements of that standard under a well defineti system of inspection, t&ting and quality control which is devised and supervised by BIS and operated by the producer. Standard marked products are also continuously checked by BIS for conformity to that standard as a further safeguard. Details of conditions under which a license for thd use of the Standard Mark may be granted to manufacturers or producers may be obtained from the Bureau of-Indian Standards.
