IS 4350: Non-Porous Inverts Key Points

• Definition: Non-porous inverts are made by grouting or other suitable methods (Clause 5.2).

• Dimensions:

  • Non-porous invert extends full pipe length.
  • Height = 1/3 of internal diameter (D) from invert (Clause 4.1.1).
  • Example: For pipe diameter D, invert height = D/3.

• Infiltration Rate:

  • For porous pipes with non-porous inverts, infiltration rate ≥ 50% of porous pipe values (Clause 6.2.2.1).

• Rate of Infiltration Table (Clause 6.2.2):

• Formula for invert height:
  [ h = \frac{D}{3} ]

This ensures statistically valid sampling and conformity checks for pipe lots per IS 4350.

IS 4350: Key Specifications for Marking and Collar Dimensions

Marking (Clause 7.1)

Each pipe must be clearly marked with:

• Date of manufacture
• Name of manufacturer or registered trade-mark or both

Collar Dimensions and Tolerances (Clause 4.3.2, Table 4.4)

Additional Notes

• Rounding of test results should follow IS 2:1960 guidelines.
• Purchaser must provide technical details at order placement (see Appendix A).

IS 4350 Sampling Procedures - Key Points

1. Scale of Sampling (Clause B-1.1 & B-1.2)

2. Sampling Method (Clause B-1.3)

• Arrange pipes serially.
• Select every r-th pipe, where:

[ r = \left\lfloor \frac{N}{n} \right\rfloor ]

• Start from any random pipe to ensure randomness.
• Continue until the sample size n is reached.

Summary

• Use Table 3 for sample size and acceptance criteria.
• Random selection ensures unbiased sampling.
• Number of tests and permissible defects depend on lot size.

    A[Lot of Pipes (N)] --> B[Arrange in Serial Order]
    B --> C[Calculate r = floor(N/n)]
    C --> D[Select every r-th pipe starting at random]
    D --> E[Sample of size n]
    E --> F[Perform Tests]

This ensures statistically valid sampling for conformity assessment per IS 4350.
