Sanitary Appliances and Water Fittings .Sectional eommittee, CED 3

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Third Revision) was adoph~d by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft
finalized by the Sanitary Appliances and Water Fittings Sectional Committee had been approved
by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
This standard, published in 1960, was first revist~d in 1967, followed by the second revision in 1974,
covering the specific requirementS for various types separately in seven parts. Part VIII of this standard
for HD square type covers and frames was issued in 1985.
In this third revision, all the eight parts have bee:n merged. Requirements for manhole covers and
frames in respect of grades, types and shapes, clear opening depth and seating dimensions and test
loads have been consolidated in one table. Similarly detailed dimensions for each of the grade, type
and shape are given in another table.
The range between medium and heavy-duty with test loads of 5 to 35 tonnes specified earlier, has been
revised and diversified to include an additional grades designated as Heavy-Duty HD-20; the earlier
heavy-duty grade of 35 tonne has been redesignated as Extra-Heavy-Duty EHD-35. ,The light-duty test
load' has been increased to 2'5 tonnes and designated as LD-2·5. Also in the light-duty grade,
additional square type with 400 mm clear opening, and circular types having 370 mm and 350 mm dia
clear openings, with matching covers have been induded. In the medium-duty grade the test load has
been increased to 10 tonnes and designated as MD-IO. Two additional sizes in circular shapes having
450 and 480 mm dia clear opening have been intwduced in this grade .. While introducing grade of
20 tonnes test load, designated as HD-20, two additional circular heavy-duty sizes with clear openings
of 600 mm and 350 mm dia have been introduced to match manhole chambers of barrel as well as
shaft designs. The 350 mm dia clear opening HD-20 grade would correspond to the lamp-hole
manhole covers and frames which is commonly used by the Calcutta Municipal Corporation. The
square type heavy-duty covers and frames would ble restricted to HD-20 and EHD-35 grades, including
clear opening of 560 square for both.
In this revision, rectangular manhole covers and frames for scrapper manholes have also been intro-
duced, with clear opening of 900 x 450 mm in HD-20 and 900 X 600 mm in EHD-35 grade.
Heavy-duty triangular type covers have been withdrawn. The requirement of weights for cover and
frames has also been withdrawn thus shifting the emphasis more to the performance requirements as
stipulated in the standard.
While taking up the revision of this standard, the introduction of manhole covers and frame of mate-
rials other than that of cast-iron, both as replacement and for new sewerage projects have been kept in
view. The Committee also noted the diversification in practice in the field in cespect of sizes and
shapes of cast-iron manhole covers and the frames, with an option open to the manufacturers for
further diversification as per specified requirements. The technical opinion and comments of the users
and the Research Institutes in respect of the lrevised test loads included herein have been taken
care of.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the
final value, observed or calculated, expressing th'e result of a test or ana lysis, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS 2 : 1960 'Rules for rounding ofr numerical values ( revised)'. The number of signifi-
cant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this
standard.
