Indian Standard
METHOD OF
MEASUREMENT OF BUILDING
AND CIVIL ENGINEERING WORKS
PART XIX WATER SUPPLY, PLUMBING AND DRAINS

( Third Revision)
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part XIX ) ( Third Revision ) was adopted
by the Indian Standards Institution on 27 February 1981, after the draft
finalized by the Civil Works Measurement Sectional Committee had been
approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 Measurement occupies a very important place in the planning and
execution of any civil engineering work, from the time of first estimates
to the final completion and settlement of payments. The methods being
followed for the measurement are not uniform, and considerable
differences exist between the practices followed by different construction
agencies and also by various c.:ntral and state government departments.
While it is recognized that each system of measurement has to be
specifically related to the administrative and financial organization with
the departments responsible for the work, a unification of the various
systems at the technical level has been accepted as very desirable,
specially as it permits a wider circle of operation for civil engineering
contractors and eliminates ambiguities and misunderstandings arising out
of inadequate understanding of the various systems followed.
0.3 Among the various civil engineering items, measurement of building
had been the first to be taken up for standardization and this standard
having provisions relating to building works was first published in 1958
and was revised in 1964.
0.4’ In the course of usage of this standard by various construction
agencies in the country, several clarifications and suggestions for modi-
fications were received and as a result of study, the technical committee
responsible for this standard decided that the scope of this standard
besides being applicable to building should be expanded so as to cover
method of measurement applicable to civil engineering works like
industrial and river valley project works.

IS I 1200 ( Part XIX ) - 1981

0.5 Since measurement of one type of trade is not related to that of

another one, and also to facilitate the second revision of IS : 1‘200-!954*,
the Sectional Committee decided that each type of trade as given in
IS : 1200-1964* be issued separately as different parts. This will also be
helpful to the specific users in various trades in using the standard. This
standard covering the method of measurement of water supply, plumb-
ing and drains applicable to buildings as well as civil engineering works
was therefore issued as the second revision in 1970. This third revision
has been prepared so as to keep the provisions in line with method of
measurement now followed by majority of organizations.
0.6 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 accord-
ance with IS : 2-196O)t. The number of significant places retained in
the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value
in this standard.

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard ( Part XIX ) covers the method of measurement of
water supply, plumbing and drains in buildings and civil engineering
works.
NATE - The method of measurement of laying of water and sewer lines, etc, is

d) Work interrupted by tides.

2.6.1 The levels of high and low water tides, where occurring, shall be
stated.
2.6.2 Where special pumping due to causes other than rains and

1974* J.
2.7 Measurement in Stages - Work shall be mewed under the
following categories in convenient stages stating the height or depth:
a) Below ground/datum line, and
b) Above ground/datum line.
NOTE - The ground/datum line shall be specified in each case.

3. GENERAL
3.1 All pipes and fittings shall be classified according to their nominal
diameter, kind of material, quality and the method of jointing and shall
be measured in running metres unless otherwise specified. The method
of laying, jointing and fixing shall be fully described.
NOTE - The nominal diameter is as defined in relevant Indian Standard.

3.1.1 The item shall include all cutting and waste of pipes and also
cutting threads where necessary.
