Copper and Copper Alloys Sectional Committee, MTD 8

FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Fourth Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft
finalized hy the Copper and Copper Alloys Sectional Committee had been approved by the Metallurgical
Engineering Division Council.

This standard was first published in 1958 and subsequently revised in 1965, 1981 and 1989. In this revision
following modifications have been made:
a) The specification has been completely modified to cover only hrass gravity die ca~tings, Lhat ii.,
requirements pertaining to ingots have hccn deleted.
b) Chemical composition has been modified.
c) Mechanical properties (Tensile strength and percentage elongation) which were oplional, have
hcen deleted.

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final
value, observed or calculated, expres~ing the result of a test or analysis, shall he rounded off in accordance
with IS 2 : 1960 'Rules for rounding off numerical values (redsed)'. The number of ~ignificant places
retained in the rounded off value shoukl be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

7.2 The chemical composition shall be determined
either by the method specified in IS 3685 or any
other established instrumental/chemical method.
In case of dispute, the procedure given in IS 3685
shall be the rcfrce method.
8 SAMPLING AND CRITERIA FOR
CONFORMITY
8.1 Unless otherwise decided by mutual
agreement of the purchaser and the supplier, the
following sampling procedure and criteria for
conformity shall hold goods.
8.2 Lot
In any consignment, gravity die castings of the same
grade and same shape manufactured at the same
place under similar conditions shall be grouped
together to constitute a lot.
8.3 Freedom from Defects
All gravity die c.tsting~ in the lot shall be inspected
for freedom from defects. The castings found
defective shall be rejected.
8.4 Dimensions
Unless agreed otherwise, five percent of the cast-
ings found satisfactory in 8.3 shall he checked for
dimensions and the castings found defective shall
he rejected.
8.S Sampling for Chemical Analysis
One sample shall be taken and analysed from each
cast of 1 (X)() kg or part thereof of the gravity die
castings. The sampling for chemical analysis shall
be taken hy drilling or sawing in such a manner as
to be representative of the entire cross-section.
Drillings and sawings from gravity die ca~ling shall
be obtained in accordance with the appropriate
procedure specified in IS 1817.
8.6 Criteria of Conformity
If the test result of chemical analysis as obtained for
each of the constituent satisfies the corresponding
requirements, the lot shall be considered as
conforming to the chemical requirement of this
spccificat ion.
8.7 Retest
If the sample drawn for chemical analysis fails to
meet the requirements stipulated in the standard,
two more tests shall be conducted on the same
sample in order to confirm that the analysis has
been dune properly. If both the test results satisfy
2
the relevant requirements, the lot shall be
considered as conforming to this specification,
otherwise not.
9 PRESSURE TEST
The gravity die castings be tested for pressure tight-
ness. The tc!-t pressure, test fluid, the mode of
testing, and the number of samples and criteria for
conformity shall be mutually agreed to between the
purchaser and the manufacturer.
10 PACKING
The gravity die castings shall he suitably packed to
prevent corrosion and damage during transit or as
required by the purchaser.
ll MARKING
11.l 111c name or trade-mark of the manufar.:turcr
and the cast number and grade of the material shall
he cast or otherwise lcgihly marked by stamping on
each gravity die castings.
11.2 In the case of small gravity die castings where
it is difficult to cast on or stamp all the details, the
marking shall be as agreed to between the pur-
chaser and the supplier.
11.J HIS Certification Marking
The material may also he marked with the Standard
Mark.
11.J.l The use of the Standard Mark is governed
by the provisions of the Bureau of Indian Standards
Act, 1986 and the Rules and Regulations made
thereunder. The details of conditions under which
the licence for the use of Standard Mark may be
granted to manufacturers or producers, may be
obtained from the Bureau of Indian Standards.
12 TEST CERTIFICATE
The supplier shall provide the tc,1,1 cenifiG1te for
each consignment giving information like cast
numhcr and corresponding d1cmical rnmpo,1,i1ion.
Prcs~ure tesr results may also be given, if comlucted
and required hy the purchaser.
13 INFORMATION TO BE GIVEN BY nm
PURCHASER
This standard contains a number of clauses in which
the purchaser is allowed to exercise an option. The
list of information to be given hy the purchaser in
respect to these clauses is given in Annex A. The
