FOREWORD
‘This Indian Standard (Third Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Steel Tubes, Pipes and Fittings Sectional Committee, had been approved by the Metallurgical Engineering
Division Council.
“This standard was first publised in 1967 and revised in 1983 and 1992. While reviewing this standard on the
basis ofthe experience gained during these years following modifications have been made:
8) Amendment No. 1 has been incorporated:
) Thicknesses have been modified in Tables 3 4,5 and pipes of additional nominal bores have been added.
in Tables 4 and 5;
«¢) Clause 2 for ‘References’ has been modified to be inline with the details as are tobe given in various
standards as decided by the Bureau;
6) Maximum sulphur and phosphorus modified in §.2 for chemical composition to align with the require.
‘ment of IS 10748 : 1995 “Hot rolled steel strips for welded tubes and pipes (frst revision)’: and
©) Provisions of hydrostatic test have been modified.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
1S 2: 1960 “Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised). The number of significant places retained in
the rounded off value should be the same as that ofthe specified value inthis standard. *

3 TERMINOLOGY
3.1. For the purpose of this standard, the following
definitions in addition to those given in IS 1956
(Pact 8) shall apply.
3.2 Length of Tubes
Effective length (of tube), which in the case of a
socketed tube is the overall length without sockets and
inthe case of flush but joint tube is the overall length
less the length of screwing on one end. In the case of
tubes for butt welded joints, iti the overall length
33 Lot
Al the tubes of same type, grade, dimensions and
‘preferably belonging tothe samebatch of manufacture
shall be grouped together to constitu a lot
34 Casing Pipe
Casing pipe is a pipe which is used to protect the wells
and the boreholes from collapsing (see Fig. 1).
3.5 Housing Pipe :
Hiousing pipe i the upper portion of the case section
of the well and serves as a housing forthe pumping
‘equipment and is a vertical conduit through which
water flows from the aquifer to the pump. It is
water-tight and extends downwards from ground
surface oa safe depth below the anticipated pumping
wate level (see Fig 1.
3.6 Drive Pipe
Drive pipe is also.type of casing made up of seamless
or welded mild steel pipes designed to withstand the
