FOREWORD

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

Standards Institution on 10 April 1978, after the draft finalized by the
Structural Sections Sectional Committee had been approved by the Structural and Metals Division Council.
0.2 This standard was first published in 1957 covering a wrde range of
hot rolled and slit teebars and was revised in 1967, which covered slit
tee bars to be produced by slitting some of the Indian Standard light
weight, medium weight and H-beam sections conforming to IS : 8081964*.
0.2.1 In this revision Indian Standard provisional slit medium weight
tee bars have been deleted since the Indian Standard provisional medium
weight beam sections have been regularized as Indian Standard medium
weight sections. with slight modifications in their dimensions and have
now been covered in IS : 808 ( Part I )-19737.
The dimensions of Indian
Standard slit medi,um weight tee bars have been modified to bring them
in line with IS : 808 ( Part I )-1973t.
The geometrical properties have
been expressed in SI units.
0.3 In the preparation of this standard, the Sectional Committee has kept
in view the manufacturing and trade practices followed in the country in
this field.
0.4 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$.
The number of significant places retained in the rounded
off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
