    What is minimum pressure gauge for GI testing?

    Minimum pressure gauge for galvanized iron testing : Minimum yield strength of finished top tube should be 50000 psi Minimum tensile strength for the finished tube shall be 55000 psi The mechanical property of the finished surface of the cube is mainly depended upon the tube size and gauge. GenerallRead more

    Minimum pressure gauge for galvanized iron testing :

    • Minimum yield strength of finished top tube should be 50000 psi
    • Minimum tensile strength for the finished tube shall be 55000 psi
    • The mechanical property of the finished surface of the cube is mainly depended upon the tube size and gauge.
    • Generally galvanized iron pipes are used for the distribution of treated as well as raw water in rural and urban areas
    • Such type of pipes are very cheaper and its weight is very very light so that it can handle anywhere.
    • The tensile strength of galvanized iron pipe shall be at least 320 Newton per mm square.
    • The test shall be carried out on full section cut from the selected tubes in accordance with IS1608 and IS 12278

    Fly levelling
    it is a very approximate form of levelling in which sights are taken as largeas possible. In this method a line of levels is run to determine approximately reduced levelsof the points carried out with more rapidly and less precision. It is a levelling that is done toconnect benchmark to the starting point of the survey line. In this levelling only back sightand fore sight readings are taken and auto level is moved strictly on the line joining benchmark and starting point of survey line

    Wrought iron is a form of commercial iron containing less than 0.10% of carbon, less than 0.25% of impurities total of sulfur, phosphorus, silicon and manganese, and less than 2% slag by weight. Wrought iron is redshort or hot short if it contains sulfur in excess quantity.
