This document provides the specifications for concrete porous pipes used for under drainage. It outlines the materials, shapes and dimensions, manufacturing requirements, and testing procedures for such pipes. Key points include:
- Cement must conform to Indian Standards IS 269 or IS 455, or high alumina cement if required. Aggregates must pass a 20mm sieve and be retained on a 4.75mm sieve.
- Pipes can have uniform diameters and thicknesses with butt ends, or rebated/ogee ends for joints. Dimensions and tolerances are provided in tables.
- Manufacturing must result in accurate dimensions. Non-porous inverts may be included.
- Tests include a load
