Products Sectional Committec, MTD 4 FOREWORD ‘his indian Standard (Sixth Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized bby the Wrought Steel Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Metallurgieat Engineering, Division Council This standard was first published in 1951 and subsequently revised in 1962, 1969, 1977, 1985 and 1992. While reviewing this standard in the light of experienced gained during these years, the Committee decided to revise the standard. In this revision, following changes have been made: 4) Amendments number 1, 2, 3,4 and 5 have been incorporated. 'b) Table | has been modified, interstitial tree grade of base metal has been included. ©) Clause 7.1 has been modified. 4d) Clause 2 have been updated. Galvanized steel sheets covered by this standard are intended to be used for purposes such as panelling, roofing, lock forming etc Foralltests specified inthis standard (chemical/physicaVothers), the method as specified in relevant 180 standard may also be followed as ar altemate method. The composition of Committee responsible for formulation of this standard is given in Annex A. Por the purpose of deciding whether 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 182 : 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 inthis standard.18 277: 2003 Indian Standard GALVANIZED STEEL SHEETS (PLAIN AND CORRUGATED) — SPECIFICATION (Sixth Revision ) 1 SCOPE This standard covers the requirements of plain galvanized steel sheets and strips (coils) and corrugated galvanized sheets, 2 REFERENCES: ‘The following standards contain provisions which through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this standard.
