IS 8008 Part 5 specifies requirements for HDPE ferrule reducers used in potable water systems, focusing on:
Since IS 8008-5 does not explicitly list detailed material grades or numerical values, the HDPE used must conform to recognized potable water grade HDPE standards (e.g., IS 10146 for HDPE pipes).
For exact material certification, refer to IS 10146 or equivalent potable water HDPE standards.
IS 8008 Part 5 specifies dimensions and tolerances for HDPE ferrule reducers used in potable water supplies with focus on:
Though the exact numerical values are detailed in the standard tables (not provided here), typical dimensions include:
| Parameter | Tolerance Range |
