SPECIFICATION FOR
STRUCTURAL   STEEL   (STANDARD QUALITY)
(Fifth   Revision)

0.   FOREWORD

0.1   This   Indian   Standard   (Fifth  Revision) was   adopted by the   Indian
Standards   Institution on 15   January   1975,   after the   draft   finalized by’
the Wrought Steel Products Sectional   Committee had   been   approved by
the   Structural and Metals   Division   Council.
0.2   This   standard was first issued   in 1950 in   response to arequest  made
to the   Steel   Advisory Committee of  the  Government of   India by   steel
manufacturers in the   cou~ary. It was   revised in 1955, 1958, 1962
and   1969.
0.3 In   this   revision,   provision has   been   made for   removal of   surface
defects by   chipping or   grinding as is   being   followed in   many other
countries.   Further, it   has been   made   clear that   this   standard   covers
structural   steel (   standard quality  )   intended to be   used for all   types of 
structures   including   those sttbjected to  dynamic  loading and where fatigue,
wide  fluctuation of  stresses,   reversal of    stresses and   great   restraint are
involved as  for  example  in  crane gantry  girders  and  road  and  rail   bridges.
Steel   specified in this   stan atd is   suitable for   welding provided   that the
thickness   of material   (ices not   exceed 20 mm. When the   material
conforming to   this   standard   i: over 20 mm   thick,   special   precautions
may be required   in case the  material is to be   welded   (see IS: 823~l964*).
0.3.1 The   designations of  steels   have been   aligned with the   revised
designations  given  in IS: I 762   (Part I)-1974t. However, the old designa-
ttons are   also  given in   parenthesis   lbi~   information.

0.4 The  steel   products   conforming to the  requirements of   this   specifi-
catton can   be rolled   from the   billets   conformitig to IS   2830-1975 or
IS :   69l4-1973§.

5.   FREEDOM  FROM DEFECTS
5.1 All   finished  steel shall be well and  cleanly   rolled to the   dimensions,
sections and  weights   specified. The finished   material   shall   be ‘free   from
cracks; surface   flaws;   latninations;   rough,   jagged and  imperfect   edges;
and all   other  harmful   defects.
5.2   Minor surface   defects may be   removed by the   manufacturer by
grinding  provided  that the   thick ness is not reduced   locally by   more   than
4  percent   (with a maximum of 3   mm).   Reductions   greater   t h a n 4  percent
but   not exceeding 7   percent may be   made   only with the   agreement of 
the  purchaser.
5.2.1   Subject to  agreement   with the   purchaser, surface   defects which
cannot  be dealt  with as  in 5.2   may be repaired by   chipping or   grinding
followed by  welding  provided   that:
a)   after   complete   removal of  the   defects   .ind   before welding, th~
thickness of  the   item is in   no place   reduced by   more   than 20
percent;
b)   welding  is carried out by   an apprcved procedure by   competent
operators  with  approved  electrodes   and that the   weld is   ground
smooth  to the   correct  nominal  thickness; and
c)   subsequent to the   finish   grinding, the   item may be   required
to be   normalized   or otherwise   heat~treated.  at   the purchaser’s
discretion.

6.   SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF TEST SAMPLES

6.1 The   points from which  test  samples are   taken shall   be so   located in
the   product as to   yield the   clearest   possible   information regardin~
properties in the   cross-sectional and   longitudinal pLnes. The   recom-
mended  locations for   taking   test  samples for   plates,  sections and   bar•s are
indicated   in Fig. 1.   Alternatively, in   case of   sections,  the  samples may be
taken from the web.
6.2   Wherever   practicable, the rolled surface  of the  steel   shall  be retained
on th e two   opposite   sides of   the test sample.
6.3 In case of  flat test   samples f o r t e n s i l e t e s t ,   both   surfaces a r e   normally
tQ be   left on   the test specimen for   plate up to 32   mm thick. At   least
.dne   rolled   surface   shall be   left on   rectangulat test samples  taken from
plate more   than 32 mm thick. Round   test   samples   are permitted, but
should  only be   adopted for  thickness   exceeding  2 8 mm.
6.4 In   case of   flats up t& 16 mm thick, the  test sample  shall  undergo, if 
possible, no  machining  whatsoever   prior to use as a  test   piece. If this is
not  possible, the   test   sample   shall   undergo the   minimum   amount of 
machining.
6.5   Bars”belo~28   mm may  also be   tested   without machining. In   case of 
bars   having   diameters or   thicknesses   between 28 and 71 mm, the  bars
-may be  symmetrically   reduced by   machining. For   bars having diameters
or   thicknesses   e x c e e d i n g 7 1 mm, th e t e s t   sample may be   taken   from th e
position   shown in  F i g. 1 .
6.6 In th e   c a s e of s e c t i o ns , f l a t s and pl a t e s ,   bend   t e s t s a r e to be   carried
out on   rectangular   test   samples   which, as f ar as po s s i bl e ,   should be of
the  full  thickness   of the  product. In the case of   sections,   flats and   plates
.exceeding 28 mm in  thickness,  it i s   permissible to   remove   metal   fnim one
side of  the  test   sample  before   using  it as a t e s t pi e ce . The  rolled   s u r f a c e
of  the test  piece shall   be on the  outer  side of  the  bend during the  test.
6.7   Before   test   samples are   detached,   full   particulars   regarding   cast
number,   size and   weight of plates,  sections,   flats and   bars in   each   cast
shall   be furnished   by the   manufacturer to   the purchaser. In  case of 
plates, the   number of   plates in each  cast   shall   also be   given.
6.8  Test   samples  shall  be cut in such  a  manner that   deformation is  avoid.
ed   as far as   possible, if   guillotining or   flame-cutting is   employed, an
adequate  allowance shall  be  left for  removal by   machining.
6.9  Test  samples  taken   from  rolled   steel  which  have undergone   deforma-
tion   through bending or   twisting  shall  in   all cases  be straightened cold.
If the   deformation is too   severe to   allow   cold   straightening, it is per-
snissible, in the   case   of materials to be   delivered i~ the   annealed or
normalized   condition. to   carry out   straightening   under the application
of heat,   provided the   temperature   does not   exceed   65000.   While
straightening   test samples,  care shall be taken  to  avoid   any cold-working
or temperature   rise which will   alter the   properties of  the  samples as
compared with  the  finished  product   which they represent.
