FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the
Sanitary Appliances and Water Fittings Sectional Committee had been approved by the CivilEngineering
Division Council.
This Indian Standard has been prepared with a view to provide guidance in the manufacture of glass fibre
reinforced polyester resin sectional tanks for water storage made with hot compression moulded panels.
Part 1 of the standard covers panels for the tanks made by hot compression moulding process and Part 2
covers assembly, installation and testing procedure for these tanks.
In the formulation of this standard, assistance has been sought from Singapore Standard SS 245 : 1981
'Specification for glass reinforced polyester sectional water tanks'.
The composition of technical committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given at
Annex L.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final
value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis,shall be rounded off in accordance
with IS 2 : 1960 'Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)'. The number of significant places
retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard,

shall then be cooled in a dessicator, weighed and
returned to the oven for a further 30 min, cooled
and reweighed. This procedure shall be repeated
until the mass (W2) of crucible and specimen
becomes constant to within 0.01 g:
where
Wt = mass of crucible,
W2 = mass of sample + crucible, and
W3 = mass of glass residue + crucible.
where
WI = mass of crucible,
W2 = mass of sample + crucible, and

The glass content of the material under test shall be
reported as the arithmetic mean of the results
obtained on the test specimens.

Review of Indian Standards
Amendments arc issued to standards as the need arises on the basis of comments. Standards are also
reviewed periodically; a standard along with amendments is reaffirmed when such review indicates that
no changes arc needed, if the review indicates that changes are needed, it is taken up for revision. Users
of Indian Standards should ascertain that they are in possession of the latest amendments or edition by
referring to the latest issue of 'BIS Handbook' and 'Standards Monthly Additions'.
This Indian Standard has been developed from Doc: No. CED 3 (5444 & 5523).
