FOR POTABLE WATER SUPPLIES
PART 111 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR 90 BENDS

0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part III ) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 17 January 1977, after the draft finalized by
the Sanitary Appliances and Water Fittings Sectional Committee had
been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 The fabricated HDPE fittings are used for connection, by welding
process, to HDPE pipes covered by IS : 4984-1972*.
0.3 The requirements of fabricated -HDPE fittings are covered in three
parts of this standard, Part I of the series deals with the general
requirements applicable to all fabricated HDPE fittings, and specific
requirements of different types of fittings are covered in separate parts
of the standard. This Part III deals with the specific requirements for
90 bends.
0.4 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of
this standard is complied with, the final values, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accor-
dance with IS : 2-196Ot. The number of significant places retained in
the rounded off values should be the same as that of the specified values
in this standard.

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard ( Part III ) lays down the requirements for manu-
facture, dimensions and tolerances and marking for fabricated HDPE
90 bends for potable water supplies.

*Specific&on for high density polyethylene pipes for potable water supplies
.
(fist r0oiSi411)
tRutea for rounding off numerical valuea ( ruiwd ).

2. REQUIREMENTS
2.1 General - The general requirements for material, sizes, methods
of test and sampling shall conform to IS :8360 ( Part I )-1977*.

2.2 Manufacture
2.2.1 A typical illustration of 90 fabricated bend is shown in Fig. I.

FIG. 1 90 BEND

2.2.2 Luyiag Length - The overall laying length 5 and the tolerances
thereon shall comply with those given in Table 1 read with Fig. 1.
2.2.3 The outside diameters and wall thicknesses of pipes out of which
90 bends are fabricated shall comply with those given in IS : 8360
( Part I )-1977. The wall thickness of fabricated bend shall not be
less than that of the pipe to which it is to be welded.

3. MARKING
3.1 Each fabricated 90 bend fitting shall be marked with the following
information:
a) Manufacturers name or identification mark, and
b) The size of the fitting and the appropriate class (working
pressure ) to which the pressure rating of the fitting corresponds.

*Specification for fabricated high density polyethylene ( HDPE ) fittings for potable
~watersupplies: Part I General requirements.

3.1.1 Each fabricated 90 bend fitting may also be marked with the
Standard mark.
3.15 The use of the Standard Mark is govered by the provisions of the
Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 1986 and the Rules and -Regulations made
thereunder. The details of conditions under which the licence for the use of
