A manually operated vertical clay pipe-making machine has been developed which can be handled by semi-skilled potters in rural areas. In an hour, the machine can produce 10 pipes of (a) 95 mm dia x 1 m length (b) 150 mm dia x 0.75 m length. The pipes are extruded from lean and plastic clay admixtures of varying compositions. The optimum firing temperature for such pipes is 900-950°C. The fired pipes give a crushing strength of 960 kg per 30 cm length and water absorption 10-12%. The material conforms to BS: 1196-1976.
