SPECIFICATION FOR
STRUCTURAL STEEL (STANDARD QUALITY)
(Fifth Revision)
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard (Fifth Revision) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 15 January 1975, after the draft finalized by
the Wrought Steel Products Sectional Committee had been approved by
the Structural and Metals Division Council.
0.2 This standard was first issued in 1950 in response to a request made
to the Steel Advisory Committee of the Government of India by steel
manufacturers in the cou~ary. It was revised in 1955, 1958, 1962
and 1969.
0.3 In this revision, provision has been made for removal of surface
defects by chipping or grinding as is being followed in many other
countries. Further, it has been made clear that this standard covers
structural steel ( standard quality ) intended to be used for all types of
structures including those sttbjected to dynamic loading and where fatigue,
wide fluctuation of stresses, reversal of stresses and great restraint are
involved as for example in crane gantry girders and road and rail bridges.
Steel specified in this stan atd is suitable for welding provided that the
thickness of material (ices not exceed 20 mm. When the material
conforming to this standard i: over 20 mm thick, special precautions
may be required in case the material is to be welded (see IS: 823~l964*).
0.3.1 The designations of steels have been aligned with the revised
designations given in IS: I 762 (Part I )-1974t. However, the old designa-
ttons are also given in parenthesis lbi~ information.
0.4 The steel products conforming to the requirements of this specifi-
catton can be rolled from the billets conformitig to IS 2830-1975 or
IS : 69l4-1973.

0.5 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~l960*. The number of significant places retained
in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value
in this standard.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers the requirements for mild steel (standard
quality) plate, sections and bars, etc, designated as Fe4lO-St (5t42-S)
for use in structural work.
1.1.1 The steel may also be supplied in copper-bearing quality in
which case it shall be designated as Fe4lOCu-S (5t42-SC).
2. SUPPLY OF MATERIAL
2.1 General requirements relating to the supply of steel shall conform
to IS : l387-l967~.
3. MANUFACTURE
3.1 Steel shall be manufactured by the open-hearth, electric, duplex,
basic-oxygen or a combination of these processes. In case arty other
process is employed by the manufacturer, prior approval of the purchaser
should be obtained.
3.1.1 Steel shall be supplied semi-killed or killed. Rimming steel
shall be supplied only by special agreement between the purchaser and
the manufacturer.
4. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
4.1 The ladle analysis of steel, when made in accordance with IS: 228-
1959, shall be as follows:
Constituent Percent, Max
Carbon (for thicknessldiameter 20 mm 023
and below)
Carbon (for thickness/diameter over 015
20 mm)
Sulphur 0055
PhosphorL 0055
NOTE I When steel is required in copper-bearing quality, the copper content
shall be between .020 and 035 percent.
Rules for rotlndirlg off numerical values (revised).

Nom 2When the steel is silicon killed,tl.se product analysis sh~ll~show a mini-
mum of 010 percent silicon. When the steel is aluminium killed or killed with a
combination of aluminium and silicon, tire requirement regarding minimum silicon
content does not apply.
4.2 Product Analysis The product analysis shall be carried out on
the finished product from the standard position. Permissible variation
in case of such product analysis from the limits specified under 4.1 shall
be as follows:
Constituent VariatiomT, Over Specf,ied
Max:mum Limit,
Percent, Max
Carbon (for thickness/diameter 20 mm 0-02
and below)
Carbon (for thickness/diameter over 003
20 mm)
Sulphur 0i305
Phosphorus 0005
NOTE Product analysis shall not apply to rimming quality steel.

6.10 Test samples shall not be annealed or otherwise subjected to heat
treatment unless the material from which they are cut is similarly treat-
ed, in which case the test samples shall be similarly and simultaneously
treated with the materia! before testing. Any slight straightening of test
samples which may be required shall be done cold.
7. TENSILE TEST
7.1 Number of Tensile Tests
(
7.1.1 Plates, Sections Angles, Tees, Beams, Channels, ele) and Flats One
tensile test shall be made from finished steel for every 40 tonnes or part
thereof rolled continuously from each cast, a separate test being made for
each class of steel product ( namely, plates, sections and flats ) rolled
from a cast.
7.1.1.1 Where plates, sections or flats of more than one thickness
are rolled from the same cast, one additional tensile test shall be made
from the material in each class of prochtct for each viriation in thick-
ness of 6 mm.
7.1.2 Bens ( Round, Square and Hexagonal) One tensile test shall be
made from finished steel for every 4U tonnes or part thereof rolled
continuously from each cast and for every class of product. When more
than one diameter or thickness of the bar is specified, ~ne additional
tensile test shall be made for each diameter or thickness of the bar
ordered, if so desired by the purchaser.
7.2 Tensile Test Pieces The tensile strength, yield stress and per-
centage elongation of steel shell be determined from standard test pieces
cut lengthwise or crosswise front plates and lengthwise from sections, flats
and bars. The tests shall be carried out on Indian Standard test pieces
prepared in accordance with IS : I~08~l972*.
7.3 Tensile Test The tensile strength, yield stress and percentage
elongation, when determined in accordance with IS: l608~l972* shall be
as given in Table I.
7.3.1 Th case of sections, the thidtncss of whiTh is not uniform through-
out the profile, the limits shall be applied according to the actual maxi-
mum thickness of the piece selected for testing.
7.3.2 Should a tensile test piece break outside the middi~ half of its
gauge length (see IS: l608~l972*) and the percentage elongation
ol)tained is less than that specified, the test may be discar~dtd at the
manufacturers option, and another. test made from the same plate,
section, flat or bar.

8. BEND TEST
8.1 Number of Bend Tests Bend test shall be made from finished
steel from each cast. The number of tests for every 20 tonnes of
material, or part thereof, rolled contintotssly, shall be as shown in
Table 2. One additional test shall be made for each class of product
and for each variation in thickness.

8.2 Bend Test Pieces The test pieces shall be cut lengthwise or cross-
wse or both from plates, and lengthwise from sections, flats and bars.
When sections permit, these shall be not less than 40 mm wide. If the
manufacturer so desires, round, square, hexagonal and flat bars shall be
bent in the full section as rolled.
8.2.1 In all bend test pieces, the rough edge or arris resulting from
shearing may be removed by filing or grinding or machining, but the
tr-:t pieces shall receive no other preparatton.
8.2.2 The test pieces shall not be annealed or otherwise subjected to
heat treatment unless the material from which they are cut is similarly
treated, in which case the test pieces shall be similarly and simultaneously
treated with the material, before testing.
8.3 Bend Test ~ Bend test shall be conducted in accordance witlk
IS l599~l974*.
8.3.1 For bend tests except in the case of round bars 25 mm in dia-
meter and under, the test piece when cold shall, without cracking, be
doubled over either by pressure or by blows from a hammer until the
internal diameter is not greater than three times the thickness of the test
piece and the sides are parallel.
8.3.2 In the case of round bars 25 mm in diameter and under, the
internal diameter of the bend shall be not gsiater than twice the
diameter of the bar.
9. DIMENSIONS
9.1 Unless otherwise agreed to between the purchaser and the manu-
facturer the nominal dimensions of rolled steel products conforming to
this specification shall be in accordance with the relevant Indian
Standards; currently available Indian Standards are tisted in Table 3.

11. RETESTS
11.1 Should any one of the test pieces first selected fail to pass any of
the tests specified in this standard, two further samples shall be selected
for testisig in respect of each failure, Should the test pieces from both
these additional samples pass, the material represented by the test samples
shall he (leerned to comply with the reqt tiremeists of that particular test.
