Disclosure to Promote the Right To Information

Whereas the Parliament of India has set out to provide a practical regime of right to
information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities,
in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the
timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 3) (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the
draft finalized by the Automotive Tyres, Tubes and Rims Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Transport Engineering Division Council.

This standard was first published in 1983 and revised in 1991. The second revision is being based on the
experience gained after publication of the standard and availability of new designs. This standard has been
revised to keep pace with the latest technological advancement in the field of wheels/rims for commercial
vehicles.

This standard aims at uniform rims profiles that will match the tyres in obtaining proper fitment. The sizes,
designations and markings have also been standardized to facilitate uniform adoption during manufacture.

This standard is one of the parts pertaining to rims for various types of automotive vehicles. The other parts
in this series are:

(Part 1) : 2009 Nomenclature, designation, marking and measurement (second revision)

(Part 2) : 2009 Passenger car (second revision)
(Part 4) : 2009 Scooter and scooter derivative rims (first revision)
(Part 5) : 2009 Moped, motorcycle and motorcycle derivative rims (second revision)
(Part 6) : 2009 Rims for agricultural tractors, tillers and implements (second revision)
(Part 7) : 2009 Industrial truck rims (first revision)
(Part 8) : 2009 Earthmoving machine rims (first revision)

These parts do not lay down methods of testing and performance requirements for wheels/rims pertaining to
the respective tyres of automotive vehicles but lay down only the profiles and other general requirements.
For passenger car wheels and truck and bus wheels/rims reference may be made to the following standards
for methods of testing performance requirements:

IS No. Title
9436 : 1980 Performance requirements and method of tests for wheels for passenger cars
9438 : 1980 Performance requirements and method of tests for wheels/rims for trucks and buses

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 a test or 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 in this standard.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
PART 3 COMMERCIAL VEHICLE RIMS
( Second Revision )
1 SCOPE
This standard (Part 3) covers contours and other
general requirements for commercial vehicle rims.
2 REFERENCE
IS 10694 (Part 1) : 2009 ‘Automotive vehicles — Rims —
General requirements: Part 1 Nomenclature,
designation, marking and measurement (second
revision)’ is a necessary adjunct to this standard.
3 DIMENSIONS
Dimensions of contour for light and commercial
vehicles shall be as given in Fig. 1 to Fig. 5.
3.1 Valve apertures for semi-drop centre, wide base
and flat base rims shall be as given in Fig. 21G and
21H of IS 10694 (Part 1).
3.2 For valve hole aperture of other types, see A, B,
C, D, E and F of Fig. 21 of IS 10694 (Part 1).
3.3 For details of diameter, circumference and
mandrel dimensions, refer Fig. 22 to 24 and Tables 1
to 4 of IS 10694 (Part 1).
4 DESIGNATION
The size designation of wheel/rims shall include
figures and alphabets representing the following in
the order given:
1
IS 10694 (Part 3) : 2009
a) Nominal rim width code,
b) Rim flange profile designation, and
c) Nominal rim diameter code.
Alphabet signifies the tyre side profile of the rim
flange. Usually the profile designation follows the
nominal rim width code. It may, however, precede or
include the nominal width code.
Example:
4.50 E × 16
B 7.0 × 20
B 6.5 × 20
5 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
5.1 The rims shall have a smooth contour free from
sharp edges on the tyre side.
5.2 The valve hole slot edges on the rims shall be
free from burrs.
5.3 Starting with the highest point of the flange of
well base or drop centre rims, the shaping of the
flange contour towards the outer part of the rim is
left to the manufacturers, but any increase in width
of the rim flanges above the minimum width shall be
located lower than the highest point of the flange in
order to facilitate tyre mounting.
