For further informa- tion on the metric terms used reference should be made to BS 3763, The International System of units (SI)’. ‘The values given represent the equivalent of the previous imperial unit values, but have been rounded to convenient numbers and are in accordance with the recommendations prepared under the aegis of Technical Committee B/94 (Modular Co-ordination in Building) for the metrication of pipe diameters. Although the values are not exact equivalents of the imperial ones this metric version isnot a technical revision of the standard. ‘This standard supersedes the imperial version so that henceforth only articles in metric sizes will strictly conform to it. However, imperial sized pipes and fittings conforming to BS 41 : 1964 will meet the requirements ofthis standard. This standard covers pipes of up to 300 mm nominal bore and provides an alternative A or B ‘Type socket profile to allow interchangeability between pipes manufactured by the sandcast or by the spun process. Fittings are common to both types. To ensure interchangeability between metric sized pipes of different ‘manufacture it is essential that the number of this British Standard ie. BS 41 is quoted on the order.BS 41: 1973 British Standard Specification for Cast iron spigot and socket flue or smoke pipes and fittings 1. Scope This British Standard provides for cast iron spigot and socket flue or smoke pipes, and bends, of 100 mm to 300 mm nominal bore and for offsets of 100 mm to 150 mm nominal bore. NOTE. The titles of the British Standards referred to in this standard are listed on the insie back cover. 2. Quality of material The metal used for the manufacture of east iron flue ox smoke pipes and fittings shall be suitable for the method of manufacture and shall be of quality not less than that specified for Grade 10 of BS 1452. 3. Freedom from defects Castings shall be sound and free from defects which render them unsuitable for their purpose. Every pipe and fitting shall ring clearly when tested for soundness by being struck with a light hammer. 4, Dimensions, weights and tolerances 4.1. Straight pipes shall be available in overall lengths of 610 mm, 915 mm, 1220 mm and 1830 mm and, subject to the following permissible deviations, shall comply with the dimensions and weights laid down in Table | weight (fine cast) —10% thickness + 10mm length 15.0 mm Double socketed lengths of pipe shall comply with the requirements and tests prescribed for the corresponding spigot and socket pipe. 4.2 Fittings and their sockets and spigots shall conform to the relative dimensions specified for the correspond- ing parts of straight pipes and to the dimensions in Tables 2 and 3, subject to the following permissible deviations. thickness, 21.0 mm length 23.5 mm 5. Soot doors ‘Smoke bends and offsets may be provided with a soot door for cleaning purposes. The method of attachment of doors shall be such that they can be effectively opened and closed. The soot door shall be secured by studs and ‘non-ferrous nuts and shall be of the dimensions specified in Table 4, ‘Soot door seatings shall be flat and smooth to ensure an adequate sea 6. Finish Pipes and fittings shall be supplied fine cast, Pipes and fittings can be supplied coated with vitreous enamel if so ordered. ‘The vitreous enamel finish (see BS 1344) shall be free from chipping and crazing and suitably resistant to ‘heat’ and ‘abrasion’. Nuts used for the attachment of the soot doors on vitreous enamel fittings shall be chromium plated (see BS 1224) unless otherwise ordered. 7. Inspection ‘The representative of the purchaser shall have free access to the works of the manufacturer at all reasonable times; he shall be at liberty to inspect the manufacture at any stage and to reject any material, finished pipe or fitting that does not conform to the terms of this specification ‘The manufacturer shall, at his own cost, supply labour and appliances for such inspection as may be carried out on his premises.BS 41: 1973 Should the metal used in casting or manufacture of the pipes and fittings included in this British Standard not comply with the requirements laid down, or should any of the products not conform to the dimensions or other requirements the product so failing may be deemed not to comply with the requirements of this British Standard, and any marking indicating the compliance shall be obliterated 8. Marking Every pipe and fitting shal be clearly marked with the nominal bore of the pipe, the manufacturer's name or trade ‘mark and the number of this British Standard, e.g. 100 ’s name or trade mark BS41 In the case of spun pipe the letter ‘S” shall be added to the marking.
