BIS Certification for Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride (Pvc-U) Screen and Casing Pipes for Bore Tubewells IS 12818

GET BIS CERTIFICATION FOR UNPLASTICIZED POLYVINYL CHLORIDE (PVC-U) SCREEN AND CASING PIPES FOR BORE TUBEWELLS IS 12818:2010

Unplasticised PVC is also known as rigid PVC. PVC-U is the most common PVC type for pipes and fittings industrial applications including bore tubewells.

Wells and pipes are very similar. Both are essentially vertical boreholes, drilled into an underground aquifer on the earth's surface, to retrieve water for various purposes. The difference between them lies in the type of casing used, the depth of this casing and the type of soil where they are drilled. Casing may be required at certain depths to support the outer surfaces of the borehole against collapse and is usually made of PVC pipe.

BIS is a statutory institution established under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act,1986  to promote harmonious development of the activities of standardization, marking and quality certification of goods and attending to connected matters in the country.

Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC-U) Screen and Casing Pipes for Bore Tubewells product has been specified in IS 12818:2010 by Bureau of Indian Standards.

SCOPE :

This standard covers the requirements of ribbed screen, plain screen and plain casing pipes of nominal diameter 35 mm to 400 mrn, produced from unplasticized polyvinyl chloride for bore/ tubewells for water supply.

NOTE - It is the responsibility of the purchaser or the specifier to make the appropriate selections taking into account their particular requirements and any relevant national guidelines or regulations and installation practices or codes.
