GREY IRON CASTINGS

First Revision )
FOREWORD
0.3 This standard is the first in series and covers
the comparison of Indian and overseas standards
for grey iron castings.

0.1 This Indian

Standard
( Part I ) ( .First
Revision) was adopted by the Indian Standards
Institution on 24 November 1978, after the draft
finalized by the Cast Iron and Malleable Cast
Iron Sectional Committee had been approved by
the Structural and Metals Division Council.

0.3.1 This comparison includes Indian ( IS ),

International
( IS0 ), British ( BS ), German
(DIN ), French ( AFNOR ), Israel ( SI ), Russian
( GOST ), Swedish ( SIS ), American ( ASTM ),
Italian ( UN1 ), Czechoslovakian
( CSN ), and
Japanese ( JIS) standards for grey iron castings. .

0.2 This standard was first published in 1966.

The Sectional Committee has decided to revise
the standard
because most of the overseas
standards covered have been revised.

0.4 The comparison represents the position with

regard to Indian &f:&ainternational
( IS0 ),
British
( BS ),
.
( DIN ),
French
( AFNOR ), Israel
( SI ), Russian ( GOST ),
Swedish ( SIS ), American
( ASTM ), Italian
( UN1 ), Czechoslovakian
( CSN ) and Japanese
(JIS ) specifications existing at the time of publication.

8.2.1 The Indian Standards

Institution
has
formulated specification for different types of iron
castings used in the industry.
It was, therefore,
decided to publish comparison on Indian and
overseas standards for various types of iron castings in separate parts so as to facilitate users and
manufacturers to take full advantage of it.

French
( AFNOR ),
Israel
( SI
( GOST ), Swedish ( SIS ), American
Italian
( UN1 ), Czechoslovakian
(
Japanese ( JIS ) standards ( see Table

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard ( Part I ) compares grey iron
castings included in IS : 210-1978*
with International ( IS0 ), British ( BS ), German ( DIN ),

*Specification for grey iron castings ( third

recision j.

), Russian
( ASTM ),
CSN ) and
