FOREWORD This Indian Standard ( Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on 16 August 1989, after the draft finalized by the Optical and Mathematical Instruments Sectional Committee had been approved by the Light Mechanical Engineering Division Council. This standard is one of a series of Indian Standards relating to drawing instruments. This standard covers the requirements for four sizes of engineers pattern tee squares, designated as TO, Tl, T2 and T3 for use with the corresponding four sizes af engineers pattern drawing boards covered in Indian Standard specification for engineers pattern drawing boards ( IS 1444). The new sizes specified are those suitable for use with the IS0 A range of trimmed paper sizes. This standard was originally published in 1959 and was revised in 1963. This second revision is based on further experience gained in the manufacture of drawing instruments and other developments in this field. In the preparation of this standard considerable assistance has been derived from BS 4867 : Part 2 : 1972 Tee squares, published by the British Standards Institution, UK. 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, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised). The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

3.5 Moisture content of wood used in the manufacture of blade, stock and working edges shall not exceed 12 percent and 14 percent in the case of wood ( Tectona grandis Linn. f. ) (see teak IS 287 : 1973 ). 3.6 Metal parts shall be either corrosion or shall have a corrosion resistant finish. 4 DIMENSIONS 4.1 The dimensions of the finished tee squares be as given-in Table 1. 5 CONSTRUCTION 5.1 The back edge of the blade shall taper by a uniform 5 mm per 100 mm in length to give increased width towards the stock. 5.2 The working edge of the blade shall not be more than 11 mm in width and shall be bevelled to leave an edge of not more than 2 mm nor less than 1 mm. 5.3 The tapered blade shall be screwed to the stock without being either sunk or mortised into it so that, in use, the upper surface of the stock is in the same plane as the surface of the board. Working edges shall be securely glued to blade and stock, respectively. 5.4 All edges shall be true. A working edge not less than 6 mm in width shall be securely glued to the body of the stock. The upper edge of the working face of the stock shall be bevelled. The working edges shall be smooth and truly straight to within the limits given in Table 1 and shall form an angle of 9OOf 0 15. The stock shall not show bow or twist more than 05 mm over the entire length and its working face shall be straight to within 02 mm. 1 shall resistant

3 MATERIALS 3.1 Timber Blade and stock shall be made of any one of the following species of timber:
Trade Name Botanical Name Swietenia sq. Tectona grandis Line. f. Dalbergia Latifolia Roxb. Dalbergia sisso Roxb. Pterocar Pus Marsuspium

Mahogany Teak Rosewood Sissoo Bijasal

Roxb. The slantness of the grain shall not exceed 1 in 20.

The working edges of the stock and blade shall be made of well-seasoned, dense, close- and fine-gfained ebony ( Diospyres melamoxylon dalbergiode Roxb. ), or padauk ( Pteroearous dalbergioides Roxb. ), or shisham except in cases where the material used for the fabrication of tee square is a hardwood. Alternatively suitable rigid plastic material may be used for this purpose. 3.3 The plastics material is used for the working edge. It shall be from a sheet complying the following requirements: a) The material shall be homogeneous,

5.5 The blade shall be securely fixed to the stock by means of countersunk headed brass screws (see IS 451 : 1972 ), and obony or rosewood or plastic dowels. The working edge of the blade shall preferably be set in the centre of the stock. A round hole, approximately 10 mm in diameter, shall be machined in the blade as shown in Table 1. 6 DESIGNATION
6.1 The tee squares shall be designated by their designation as given in Table 1 and the number of this standard. For example, a tee square of designation Tl, shall be designated as :
