FOREWORD

0.1This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Indian

Standards Institution on 24 August 1979, after the draft finalized by the
Steel Tubes, Pipes and Fittings Sectional Committee had been approved by
the Structural and Metals Division Council.
0.2 This standard was first published in 1965. As a result of the experience
gained since its publication it has been decided to revise this standard
incorporating a few changes. Provision relating to surface protection of
pipes during transit, permissible fin height and marking have been added.
A reference has been made to IS : 5429-1979* and Amendment No. 1 has
also been incorporated in this revision.
0.3 In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to
international co-ordination among the standards prevailing in different
countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field in this
country.
This has been met by deriving assistance from the following
publications:

0.4 The composition

given for different types of steel tubes in this standard

has been brought in line with IS: 1570-1961*.
0.5 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: 2-19607. 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 the requirements for steel tubes for use in automotives including scooters and motorcycles, in sizes up to and including
1143 mm outside diameter and of the following types:

shall be determined in
accordance with IS : 1894-1972 and shall be not less than that specified.
6.2 Flattening
Test - Flattening
test shall be made on lengths cut from
the ends of selected tubes in accordance

The tubes
shall be capable, without showing crack or flaw, of being flattened until the
interior surfaces, at the middle, are brought to such a position that the
distance apart is not more than that specified.
In the cast of welded tubes
the weld shall be placed at the point of maximum
curvature.
The burrs
may be removed before testing.
6.3 Crushing Test -The
test piece shall be capable
of being crushed
endwise, without
cracking,
until its length is reduced by at least the
specified percentage of the original length. The length of the test piece shall
be about one-and-a-half
times the outside diameter
