Under IS 7322 (1985) for specials in steel cylinder reinforced concrete pipes, the permitted types of steel reinforcement are:
This ensures compatibility and structural integrity of the reinforcement within the concrete pipe specials.
According to IS 7322 Clause 4.2, the minimum thickness of steel plates for specials depends on the nominal internal diameter (ID) of the finished special:
| Nominal Internal Diameter (mm) | Minimum Thickness of Steel Plate (mm) |
|---|---|
| 200 to 500 | 2.5 |
| 600 to 900 | 5.0 |
| 1000 to 1100 | 6.0 |
| 1200 to 1500 | 8.0 |
| 1600 to 1800 | 10.0 |

This ensures proper strength development and bond between steel and concrete in specials.
To ensure compliance with IS 7322 (1985), the following testing methods are required:
Fitting Conformity Test (Clause 8.1):
Each fitting must be tested to confirm it meets the standard's requirements.
Dye-Penetration Test (Clause 8.3):
Performed as per IS 3658-1981, this non-destructive test detects surface cracks or defects in fittings.
Compressive Strength Test (Clause 3.4.2):
Concrete cubes of 15 cm size are tested following IS 456-1978 and IS 516-1959 to verify compressive strength.
| Test Type | Reference Standard | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Fitting Conformity | IS 7322 (Clause 8.1) | General compliance |
| Dye-Penetration Test | IS 3658-1981 | Surface defect detection |
| Compressive Strength | IS 456-1978, IS 516-1959 | Concrete strength verification |
These tests ensure structural integrity and quality of fittings as per IS 7322.
According to IS 7322, Clause 10.1, each special must be clearly marked with the following information:
Additionally, per Clause 10.1.1, the special may also carry the ISI Certification Mark to indicate compliance with the standard under ISI supervision.
This marking ensures traceability, quality assurance, and conformity to standards.
