Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride (UPVC) pipe fittings ensure the proper installation, functionality, and integrity of UPVC pipe systems. They are specifically designed to be used with UPVC pipes. The material used in this pipe provides excellent durability, chemical resistance, and longevity, making it suitable for various applications, including in agriculture, plumbing, and construction.
To ensure the product quality of upvc pipes fittings for use with upvc pipes, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has made it mandatory for manufacturers to undergo BIS registration and obtain the BIS ISI mark before selling it in the market. Manufacturers can use the ISI Mark on their products only after obtaining a license from BIS that is granted after BIS registration. The presence of the ISI mark on a product indicates that it complies with BIS's stringent quality standards.
UPVC pipe fittings for use with UPVC pipes in the suction and delivery lines of agricultural pumps are covered under IS 13593:1992. The BIS adopted this Indian Standard after the Civil Engineering Division Council approved the draft submitted by the Plastic Pipes and Fittings Sectional Committee.
This specification covers the material, dimensions, quality, performance, and marking requirements for UPVC fittings used to prepare suction and delivery lines of agricultural pumps.
