Description
Vitrified clay pipe (VCP) is a pipe constructed from a mixture of clay and shale that has been vitrified at a high temperature to produce a hard, inert ceramic.
BS EN 295-3 is a European Standard that discusses VCP systems for drains and sewers.
BS EN 295-3is the third part of the series, and specifies requirements for testing products manufactured from vitrified clay and other materials.
VCP is commonly used in gravity sewer collection mains because of its long life and resistance to almost all domestic and industrial sewage, particularly the sulfuric acid that is generated by hydrogen sulfide, a common component of sewage.
BS EN 295-3 provides guidance on straightness, crushing strength, acceptance (proof), ultimate, bending tensile, and bending moment resistance (BMR) test.
