3.03: FITTING
Closely fit members, finished true to line
and in precise position required to allow
accurate erection and proper joining in the
field.
Drilling to enlarge unfair holes will not be
allowed. Allow only enough drifting during
assembly to bring parts into position, but not
enough to enlarge holes or distort the metal.
Do not heat rolled sections, unless
approved by the Engineer.
3.04: PUNCHING
Punch material 1/16 inch larger than
nominal diameter of bolt.
Drill or sub-punch and ream where metal is
equal to or more than the diameter of the
bolt plus 1/8 inch.
Precisely locate holes to ensure passage of
bolt through assembled materials without
drifting. Enlarge holes when necessary to
receive bolts by reaming; flame cutting to
enlarge holes is not acceptable. Reject steel
with poorly matched holes.

3.05: FINISHING
After erection, spots or surfaces where paint
has been removed, damaged, or burned off,
and field rivets, bolts, and other field
connections shall be cleaned and furnished
with a spot coat of the same primer installed
during shop priming.
Immediately after erection, clean field
welds, bolted connections, and abraded
areas of shop paint. Install paint to exposed
areas with the same material installed
during shop painting brush or spray to
provide the minimum dry film thickness.
4: MOM 1/5
Measuring of structural steel shall be by

The weight shall be the net weight, without
addition for rolling margin or welding material
and without deduction for holes.
The weight shall be determined by
calculations using relevant standard tables
and on the basis of the dimensions shown on
the approved detail drawings.

In case of non-standardized sections, the
mass shall be taken from the manufacturer’s
data.
Calculations shall be based on a mass of 7,85
kg per m2 of surface and mm of thickness, in
the case of plate, sheet, wide flats and strip.

Each successive layer shall only be applied after the previous layer has developed its
initial set and is also properly scratched with steel brush to roughen the surface to develop
proper bond. If the application is interrupted and does not satisfy successive layers criteria,
the coating shall be cut back to the steel surface proceeding layer with a trowel at an
inclined angle. Exposed surface of this coating shall be thoroughly wetted before resuming
the work.
Application of mixed vermiculite shall not be carried out if the air temperature is 4o C or
less. Provision shall be made for adequate ventilation during and after application, until
the coating is dry.
2 coats of micro-porous exterior top coat, compatible to cement surfaces, of approved
make & color conforming to IS specifications, should be applied, over the fire proof
coating.
Sealing with minimum 10 mm thick bitumen mastic flashing, shall be carried out at all
exposed joints between fire proofing material coating & steel.
