STANDARDISATION OF DIMENSIONS OF TOP AND NECK OF 11 KV PIN INSULATOR

Please note that now-a-days Board is using preformed ties for binding conductor with the Pin
Insulator instead of conventional method of binding by aluminium binding wire and tape. The
design of the preformed ties depends upon the dimensions of top and neck of 11 KV Pin
Insulator. For proper gripping of the conductor with the help of preformed fittings it has
become necessary to standardise the dimensions of the insulator top and neck. Accordingly, a
drawing 051-32/CSEB/1 dt.1.9.2001, which indicates the standardised dimensions of top and
neck of 11 KV Pin Insulator is enclosed with Tender Specification. This drawing has been
approved by REC, New Delhi, therefore, the tenderers are advised to offer material based on
this drawing.

and similar design are already tested. This test shall be carried out on a transformer to be selected by the Board
either at their works - when they are offered in a lot for supplies or random sample unit from the supplies already
made to Boards Area Stores. After conducting short circuit test, healthiness of active parts shall be checked by
un-tanking the transformer. The findings and conclusion of these tests shall be binding on the supplier.
In case the transformer does not pass in either of the tests and if the active part details are not found to be in line
with the design tested and approved, the following punitive measures shall be taken:
(i)
5% payment of the bill for the supplies already made will be recovered by the Board.
(ii)
For transformers already supplied, the guarantee period shall stand twice the normal guarantee period.

The supplier/manufacturer of conductor should arrange for the inspection by the representative of the
purchaser specially authorised for this purpose . At least 5% of the total number of drums of conductors taken at
random should be checked to ascertain the lengths of conductor adopting either of the following two methods :(a)The drum alongwith the conductor should be weighed and six empty drums alongwith protective laggings &
studs etc. normally used for winding the conductor should also be weighed . Net weight of the conductor should
be calculated by subtracting the average weight of the six empty drums from the gross weight of the conductor
and drums . Having known the weight of the conductor , the length of the conductor can be computed.
In case of empty conductor drums , a check weighment of every one in ten empty drums shall also be
done before the conductors are wound on the drums .
(b)Arrangements should be made available in the works of the manufacturer for transferring the conductor from
one reel to another at the same time measuring the length of the conductor so transferred by means of a meter .
Percentage shortage , if any , in the length thus obtained and as declared by the supplier in the packing list shall
be applied to all the drums .
14. CHECK MEASUREMENT:
Where length of conductor is verified by weighment basis , the determining factor will be length/weight
ratio of the sample drums verified at the firms premises of the lot of which the drum under measurement at the
consignees end forms a part .
- 101 -
(i)
Wherever at the end of the consignee , length measurement machines are available , conductors shall
be accepted by verification of lengths only and where the length measurement machines are not available ,
conductor shall be accepted on weighment basis .
(ii)
In case , where the recorded weight on the drum tallies with the measured weight at consignees end ,
then the conductor length shall be accepted as recorded on the drum . In other cases , the determining factor will
be wight/lenth ratio of the sample(s) inspected at the firms premises of the lot of which the drum under
measurement at the consignees end , forms a part . The factors of weight/length ratio shall however be made
available to the consignees in the despatch instructions itself . If such factors are not available due to some
reasons , actual measurement of diameter shall be made and weight/length ratio shall be obtained for the
purpose of computing length .

DIMENSIONS:The nominal dimensions of Angle, Joists, Channel, Plates, rounds, Flats, Tor-steel, I.U.M.S. Rail, Hbeams etc. are required as per S.No. 1 to 43 of the table shown in the "SCOPE" of this schedule and
shall be in accordance with the relevant IS as mentioned in table 4 of the IS 2062: 1999 at Page No. 6.
TOLERANCES:
The rolling and cutting tolerances for steel products conforming to IS 2062 : 1999 shall be those
specified in IS 1852. The aforesaid tolerances shall be strictly followed.
RETEST: Should any one of test pieces first selected fail to pass any of the tests specified in this standard, two
further samples shall be selected for testing in respect of each failure. Should the test pieces from both
these additional samples pass, the material represented by the test samples shall be deemed to comply
with the requirements of that particular test. Should the test pieces from either or these additional
samples fail, the material represented by the test samples shall be considered as not having complied
with this standard.
MARKING:a.
Each products with the exception of round, square and hexagonal bars and flats, shall carry a
tag or be marked with the manufacturer's name or trade mark. Bars and flats shall carry a tag
bearing the manufacturer's name or trade mark. Designation of steel should also be similarly
marked on the product or tag
b.
The ends of the rolled product shall be painted with Green color.
BIS CERTIFICATION MARKING:The material may also be marked with Standard Mark according to Bureau of Indian Standards Act
1986 and the rules and regulations made there under.
