This Indian Standard ( Part S 1 ws adopted by the Bureau of lndian Standards on 10 February
19S9, after- the draft finalized by the Springs Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Mcchanicnl Engineering Division Council.

This standard has been prepared to follow a uniform practice of inspection of hot coiled compres-
sion springs made from~circular section bar.

This standard is one of a series of standards on helical coiled compression spring. Other standards
are as follows:
IS 7906 ( Part 1 ) : 1976 Helical compression springs: Part 1 Design and calculatrons for
springs made from circular section wire and bar

This is applicable only to spring with ground
ends. This can be measured by one of the two
following methods: - 3.12 Free Length
a) The spring is placed on a surface plate
and a second plate is lowered parallel to
the surface plate on the spring until the
first contact is made with any point of
upper end coil. The maximum deviation
between the upper end coil and the plate
is measured with the use of feeler gauges
over the ground ‘surface ( see Fig. 2 ).
b) Another method is to check the height of
the spring at two diametrically opposite
points and note the difference in the two
heights. This checking at diametrically
opposite points has to be done at a num-
ber of places to determine where the
maximum difference in height occufs.

measuring with feeler gauges, the maximum

The method of checking free length ~described
here is applicable for springs with groynd
ends. Before carrying out this test the sprmg
should be scragged once as explained in 8.1 of
IS 7906 ( Part 5 ) : 1989. This test should pre-
ferably be done when static load testing of the
spring is bzing dKne so 3s to avoid duplication
of testing.
The spring is placed on a surface plate with a
straight edge across the top dead coil and the
height is measured with 3 scale standing apprqxi-
mutely in the centre of the spring and touchmg
the straight edge.
4 LOAD TESTING
4.1 Before carrying out these tests the spring
shall be scragged 3s explained under 8.1 Static
load testing of IS 7906~( Part 5 ) : 1989.
4.2 Load at Length or Length at Load
Measurement
Load/Length measurement shall be carrced out
between parallel lateral constant plates and with
reference to a calibrated load indicating device.
The test is effected with the spring in the upright
position in the direction of loading. Springs
v.hich are liable to buckle shall be tested over
or in a guide. The method of testing shall be
agreed between the purchaser and the manufac-
turer.
4.3 Spring Rate
This test shall bz carried out as explained
in 8.2 of 1S 7906 ( Part 5 ) : 1989.

Review of Indian Standards

Amendments are issued to standards as the need arises on the basis of comments. Standards are also
reviewed periodically; a standard along with amendments is reaffirmed when such review indicates that
no changes are needed; if the review indicates that changes are needed, it is taken up for revision. Users
of Indian Standards should ascertain that they are in possession of the latest amendments or edition by
referring to the latest issue of ‘BIS Handbook’ and ‘Standards Monthly Additions’.
