TOLERANCES FOR
FABRICATION OF STEEL STRUCTURES
0. F 0 R E M’ 0 R D
0.1This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards
Institution on 27 February 1974, after the draft finalized by the
Structural Engineering Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Structural and Metals Division Council and the Civil Engineering Division
Council.
0.2 This standard is intended to serve as a guide to engineers engaged
in design, fabrication and erection of steel structures in regard to dimen-
sional tolerances.
0.3.1 In this standard only groups B and C are covered. The tolerances
for the fabrication of steel railway bridges and allied structures which
fall into Group A will be covered in a separate standard.
0.4 This standard keeps in view the practice being followed in this field
in this country. Assistance has also been derived from CSN 732611
‘ Limit deviations for dimensions of structural steel work’ issued by
Urad pro normalizaci a mereni, Czechoslovakia.

IS: 2-11960*. 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 covers tolerances on dimensions for fabrication of steel
structures manufactured by riveting, bolting or welding.
2. BUILT-UP SECTION
2.2 In the case of joints designed as friction grip joints using high tensile
friction grip fasteners, the difference in thickness if any shall be adjusted
by chamfering or by providing packing pieces.
4
IS : 7215 - 1974
2.3.1 The width of gap S (see Fig. 3) betyeen the ends of members
connected h rivets or bolts shall not exceed 1.5 mm for depth of sections
up to 1000 mm and 3.0 mm for sections over 1000 mm depth.
2.4 Deviation in Depth and Width at Joints - For rolled beams and
built-up members ( welded or riveted), the diffel’ence in width or depth
or both at the joint between two adjacent members shall not exceed the
values given in Table 2 (see Fig. 4 and 5).

2.5 The projection of the external face of the flange angle (see Fig. 6A)
beyond the edge of the web in the case of built-up riveted members
without flange plates shall not exceed 3 mm. However, when the top
flange is exposed to atmosphere the exposed edge shall be flush with the
flange angles.
2.6 The maximum permissible gap between the edge of the web plate
and the inner surface of the first flange plate in the case of both upper
and lower parts of the riveted components shall be 4 mm (see Fig. 6B).
The ‘gap shall be filled in by suitable means approved by the engineer
incharge.
