UPVC PIPES AND FITTINGS

Impact Resistance of pipes and fittings shall be tested in accordance with requirements of ASTM D-2444. Physical dimensions of plastic pipes and fittings shall be in accordance with ASTM D 2122. Sufficient time shall be allowed for the Engineer's review of test results.

DELIVERY, STORAGE AND HANDLING 7.1 7.2 Unloading at the Site shall be made during normal day working hours. The Contractor shall handle, transport, unload and store the pipe using the proper equipment and preventing any damage to the pipe. For this purpose the Contractor shall provide and install all suitable equipment at the pipe yard and shall be responsible for all handling and storage prior to laying of the pipes. The facilities, equipment and procedure for handling of pipe shall be approved in advance by the Engineer. Transport of pipe work to the Site shall be in accordance with the program of laying of pipeline, submitted by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer. Any part of the pipe work which is ready to be brought to the Site, shall be tested and examined by the Engineer in the factory to ensure that it conforms with the relevant specifications. Any portion or part of the pipe work which is defective or in the opinion of the Engineer is not in accordance with the specification shall be rejected. The Engineer shall decide whether this portion or part of the pipe work may be repaired or shall be replaced by a new portion or part of the pipe work. All rejected portions shall be replaced or repaired by the Contractor at his own cost, as directed by the Engineer. The pipe shall be handled without causing any damage to the ends of the pipe. Pipe stored along the trench side shall be supported by padded wooden timbers place under the pipe to hold the pipe off the ground. Dragging or skidding the pipe will not be permitted.

DEFINITIONS 9.1 UPVC Unplasticized Polyvinylchloride is the rigid grade of Polyvinylchloride suitable for pipelines applications. 9.2 Solvent Cement Solvent Cement is a blend of three aggressive solvents and sufficient resin to provide a brushing consistency. It is not an adhesive. It is designed for solvent welding UPVC pipe joints by softening and swelling UPVC when applied on the pipe surface. 9.3 Rubber Ring Joint Rubber ring joint is a special joint in which one pipe has spigot end and the other pipe has socket end with ring groove for rubber ring. The spigot end is inserted inside the socket end.
