Uploaded by

Akshat Engineers Private Limited

This document provides specifications for cast iron fittings used for pressure pipes for water, gas, and sewage. It outlines requirements for: - Material quality and manufacture to produce fittings free from defects with hardness not exceeding 210 HBS. - Mechanical tests including tensile strength tests of bars cast from the same metal exceeding 1.50 MPa and Brinell hardness tests. - Hydrostatic pressure tests to check for leaks or defects with test pressures according to fitting size and material grade. Fittings must withstand pressure testing without defects.
