SDR' is the Standard Dimension Ratio, which is the ratio of pipe diameter<br />

divided by the pipe wall thickness.<br />

In the above paragraph deflection shall be considered as the maximum<br />

difference between the measured in-situ diameter and the stated non-deflected<br />

diameter on any axis divided by the non-deflected diameter.<br />

For pipelines of 600 mm diameter and above, internal measurements of<br />

deflection shall be made continuously in the vertical plane and readings shall<br />

be recorded at each pipe joint, at the mid-point of each pipe length, at any<br />

point where the limiting deflections above are exceeded and at any other<br />

point directed by the Engineer's Representative. Where the length of pipeline<br />

between manholes or access points exceeds 100 metres the measurements<br />

shall be taken progressively on completion of backfilling and shall be verified<br />

after temporary reinstatement of the trench within reasonable limits of each<br />

access point.<br />

For pipelines smaller than 600 mm diameter deflections shall be checked by<br />

pulling through an approved cylindrical plug dimensioned to suit the<br />

permissible minimum deflected diameter of the pipe.<br />

19.1.12.10 Stanks to Pipelines in Granular Bedding<br />

Where pipes are laid on a granular bed or with a granular backfill, a stank, i.e.<br />

an impermeable barrier shall be provided across the full width of the trench<br />

and for the complete depth of the bedding and fill at intervals not exceeding<br />

50 m, and generally mid-way between manholes.<br />

The stank shall consist of:-<br />

either a 300 mm long plug of fine grained clayey soil or a 300 mm long plug<br />

of a mixture of sand and bitumen consolidated in an approved manner.<br />
