4 FOREWORD Product Certification Scheme of the Bureau of Indian Standards, now under BIS Act 1986, is in operation for about 5 decades covering a wide variety of products. The wide experience in the area has brought a fair amount of rationalization in the certification process. This has resulted in the formulation of the Operation Manual for Product Certification (referred to as OMPC in this manual) prescribing rules and practices generally applicable to all products. Product related rules/guide lines are periodically issued to cover the specific requirements of different products. Still, in view of the wide spread of the certification operations, differences are found in the application of these guidelines in the BIS certification offices in different parts of the country. Therefore, it has been decided to bring out Sectoral manuals as guideline documents covering certification requirements of specific products/group of products. This Manual, one in the series, has been prepared to ensure uniformity in the certification practices in respect of SPRINKLER FIRE EXTINGUSHING SYSTEM covered by IS (referred to as standard or specification or IS in this manual) under the BIS Product Certification Scheme. This standard covers requirements and test methods for chlorinated polyvinyl chloride pipes for installation of automatic sprinkler fire extinguishing systems in accordance with IS for light hazard occupancies in maximum area of 125m 2. This standards also covers recommendatory information for jointing of pipes and installation of CPVC piping system. The CPVC pipes are recommended for wet piping system only. This manual takes into consideration the generally acceptable practices. THIS MANUAL IF FOR GUIDANCE ONLY AND SHOULD HOWEVER DO NOT TREAT SUCH DOCUMENT AS REPLACEMENT FOR REFERRED STANDARDS OR THAT OF RELEVANT SCHEME FOR TESTING AND INSPECTION (STI). STANDARDS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS ( STI ETC.) REFERRED ARE AS APPLICABLE AT THE TIME OF PREPARATION OF MANUAL HOWEVER, LATEST, STANDARDS/OTHER DOCUMENTS AS IMPLEMENTED SHALL BE REFERRED. This manual is based on the Indian Standard IS 16088, the OMPC, and the guidelines specific to CPVC Pipes for Automatic Sprinkler Fire Extinguishing System issued from time to time. It is intended to assist the certification personnel in understanding and appreciating the various requirements of the product as prescribed in IS and other related standards. This manual is not a substitute for the standards, OMPC and the guidelines mentioned above, to which reference may be made in case of doubt or any ALOK SINGH, Sc D, ABO Page 3 of 37

8 SECTION NO DESCRIPTION OF MANUFACTURING PROCESS CPVC pipes are made by the process called extrusion. CPVC compound is received in dry powder form with TC. This dry powder is feed to the Extruders through hopper loader. The hopper loader is on the top of the extruder and automatically charged with the CPVC compound to the doser feeder. The CPVC powder goes to the screw barrel. Dry powder gets enough shear energy and heat and converted into melt form. This melt, is then passed through the die zone of extruder. This zone contains units like adapter, restrictor, spider, bushing and pin. These all units are different for the different sizes of pipe. Passing through all these units, the melt gets enough mass and appropriate shape for the pipe to be produced. All these parts of extruder, right from the doser feeder to the bushing and pin, are kept at different predetermined temperature that gives enough heat to the CPVC compound. The CPVC melt coming out from the die zone, which is called extrudate now, is passed through the vacuum tank. The vacuum allows confirm round shape to the pipe. In this tank, give the cooling to the extrudate and make it rigid solid. The pipe is then passed through the puller. The puller pulls the pipe coming out from the die zone of the extruder and is responsible for the extrudate speed. This speed can be varied to set the wall thickness of pipe as per required standard. Pipe from this puller is then passed through the last downstream equipment, which is chop saw or saw cutter. Before cut the pipe requires printing is done by printer. The printing detail is checked by Q.C. Chemist, if print is ok then accept otherwise change it or reprint the pipe. The cutter cuts the pipe to appropriate length. Final product is checked by Q.C. chemist as per standards before the packing then supplied to the packing unit for the packing, if the pipe is not as per specification then it is being sent for regrinding. This re-grinded material can be reuse to produce the pipe. Finished Goods are packed and stored in racks and then dispatched as per order from the market.
