11Compliance and rounding rules

Compliance and Rounding Rules (IS 10124 Part 2)

  • Rounding Off Values:
    Follow IS 2:1960 for rounding numerical results from tests or calculations.

    • The number of significant digits in the rounded value must match the specified value's significant digits in the standard.
    • For example, if a dimension is specified as 12.5 mm (3 significant digits), the result should be rounded to 3 significant digits.
  • General Compliance:

    • Final observed/calculated values must be compared after rounding.
    • Ensures uniformity and avoids false non-compliance due to insignificant decimal differences.
  • Specific Requirements Mentioned:

    • Caps and 11 1/4 bends have their own dimensional and tolerance specifications (refer to respective clauses in IS 10124 Part 2).

Example: Rounding Rule per IS 2:1960

.........
630758.2

For Elastomeric Sealing Ring Joint Sockets:

  • Minimum socket length (B) is generally larger (e.g., 250-600 mm depending on size).
  • Wall thickness t varies with pressure class (0.4 to 1.25 MPa) and nominal size.

Summary:

  • Socket length (B) and wall thickness (t) depend on nominal size and pressure class.
  • Wall thickness is 90% of pipe thickness, rounded up.
  • Tables 1 and 2 in IS 10124 Part 2 provide detailed values.

For exact values, refer to the tables in the standard for your specific pipe

?How does this standard define wall thickness for different pressure classes?

IS 10124 (Part 2): 2009 defines minimum wall thickness (t) of PVC-U fittings sockets based on nominal pipe size and working pressure classes (0.25 to 1.25 MPa). Key points:

  • Wall thickness is calculated as 90% of the minimum pipe wall thickness for the corresponding size and pressure class, rounded up to the next 0.1 mm.
  • Two tables specify thickness for:
    • Standard sockets (Table 1)
    • Sockets for elastomeric sealing ring joints (Table 2)
  • Thickness increases with pressure class (Class 1 to Class 6) and nominal size.
  • Pressure classes correspond to working pressures in MPa:
    • Class 1 = 0.25 MPa (Red)
    • Class 2 = 0.4 MPa (Blue)
    • Class 3 = 0.6 MPa (Green)
    • Class 4 = 0.8 MPa (Brown)
    • Class 5 = 1.0 MPa (Yellow)
    • Class 6 = 1.25 MPa (Black)

Example excerpt from Table 1 for 50 mm nominal size:

Pressure Class (MPa)0.60.81.01.25
Wall Thickness (mm)1.52.12.53.0

This ensures fittings withstand designated pressures with safety margins.

?How does IS 10124 Part 2 ensure compatibility with IS 4985 PVC pipes?

IS 10124 Part 2 ensures compatibility with IS 4985 PVC pipes primarily by referencing and aligning its specifications with IS 4985:2000, which governs unplasticized PVC pipes for potable water.

Key points:

  • Material and Dimensional Compatibility:
    IS 10124-2 requires that fabricated PVC-U fittings (sockets) conform to the material quality and dimensional tolerances specified in IS 4985, ensuring proper fit and joint integrity.

  • Reference to IS 10124 Part 1:
    General requirements such as materials, sizes, testing, and conformity criteria are governed by IS 10124 Part 1, which harmonizes the fittings with the pipe standards.

  • Standardization of Socket Dimensions:
    Socket dimensions and tolerances are designed to match the external diameter and wall thickness of IS 4985 pipes, facilitating leak-proof, easy assembly.
