UPVC Drainage Pipe

IS 15328:2003 is an Indian Standard that provides guidelines for the manufacture and selection of unplasticized non- pressure polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U) pipes used in underground drainage and sewerage systems. These pipes are designed for gravity flow applications, conveying domestic sewage, industrial waste, and surface water.

Key Features of IS 15328 Pipes

Material: Made from unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U) with additives to ensure durability and mechanical strength.

Applications: Suitable for underground non-pressure applications such as gravity drainage, sewer flow and transportation of soil and waste discharge.

Sizes: Available in nominal outside diameters ranging from 110 mm to 630 mm.

Types: Available as plain-ended or equipped with integral sockets for solvent-cement welding or joining with elastomeric sealing rings. Stiffness Classes: Commonly available in stiffness classes SN-2, SN-4, and SN-8, which denote different levels offering stiffness to withstand external loads.

Testing: Pipes are tested for Vicat softening temperature, resistance to external blows, ring stiffness, and leak tightness under various temperature conditions.

Advantages of IS 15328 Pipes

Hygienic and Leak-Proof: Ideal for applications where hygiene is crucial, such as hospitals and schools.

Easy Installation: Smooth inner bore ensures better flow rates and easier installation.

Testing: Pipes are tested for Vicat softening temperature, resistance to external blows, ring stiffness, and leak tightness under various temperature conditions.

Durability: Resistant to corrosion and chemical attacks, making them suitable for long-term use.
