While reviewing this standard, in the light of experience gained during these years, the Committee decided to revise it to bring in line with the present practices being followed by the Indian industry. In the present revision, following modifications have been made: a) Ten new Grades 19002, 24530, 26388, 31200, 31500B, 52300, 52300B, 65028, 74538 and 76528 have been added b) A new clause on references has been incorporated. ©) Temper designations have been modified. 6) A-comparison of IS and ISO designations has been given in Annex A for information for meeting, domestic and export requirements Characteristics and typical uses of various alloys have been given in Annex B for information ‘The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex C. 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 atestor 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 inthis standard.18 737 : 2008 Indian Standard WROUGHT ALUMINIUM AND ALUMINIUM ALLOY SHEET AND STRIP FOR GENERAL ENGINEERING PURPOSES — SPECIFICATION ( Fourth Revision ) 1SCOPE This standard covers the requirements for wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy sheet and strip for general engineering purposes. 2 REFERENCES ‘The standards given below contain provisions which through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this standard.
