FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalised by
the Wrought Steel Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Metal!urgical
Engineering Division Council.
In the present revision assistance has been drawn from German Standard DIN 17155 : 1983 ‘Creep
resistance steel plate and strip; technical delivery conditions’.
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 ‘Rules of 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.

Standard Mark
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 Standard Mark on
products covered by an IndianStandard conveys the assurance that they have been produced
to comply with the requirements of that standard under a well defined system of inspection,
testing and quality control which is devised and supervised by BIS and operated by the pro-
ducer. Standard marked products are also continuously checked by BIS for conformity to
that standard as a further safeguard. Details of conditions under which a licence for the use
of the Standard Mark may be granted to manufacturers or producers may be obtained from
the Bureau of Indian Standards.
