Indian Standard
SPECIFICATION FOR
PERFORATED STEEL STRIPS ( FILLETS )
FOR TAKE-UP ROLLERS

0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
on 27 December 1967, after the draft finalized by the Cotton Weaving
Machinery Components Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Textile Division Council.

0.2 This standard is based on the manufacturing practices followed in the

country in this field.

0.3 This standard contains clauses 3.3 and 6.3 which call for agreement
between the buyer and the seller for permitting the buyer to use his option
for selection to suit his requirements.

0.4 For assessing the roughness of fillet ( see 2.3 ), the Bombay Textile
Research Association, Bombay have taken up the work of evolving a suitable
method. When the work is completed, the details of the method would be
incorporated in this standard.

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, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2- 1960*. 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 prescribes requirements of perforated steel strips ( fillets )

used for covering take-up rollers of plain looms.

2. MANUFACTURE

2.1 Material-Fillets shall be made from cold-rolled bright mild steel

strips. The carbon content of the steel strip shall be 0.08 percent ( Max ).

2.2 Workmanship and Mamfacture - The strip should be punched to

form holes all over the surface ( see Fig. 1 ) in such a way that the edges of

*Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised).

3
IS : 4438 - 1967

the holes protrude out of the surface of the strip making it rough. No hole
shall cut the edge of strip on either side.

FIG. 1 STAGGERING OF 718 HOLES IN A FILLET

2.3 Roughness of Fillet -The surface of the fillet should be rough to

such an extent that it does not allow the woven cloth to slip over it ( that
is, it grips.the cloth ) and at the same time does not damage the cloth in any
way.

2.4 Finish - The fillet shall be given an anti-rust finish.

3. REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Width - The width of the fillet shall be 38 mm.

3.2 Thickness -The thickness of the strip shall be O-150 to O-213 mm

( or 38 to 35 SWG ).
3.3 Pattern - As agreed to between .the buyer and the seller, the pattern
of the fillet (staggering of holes) shall be 7/8, 9/10, 11/12, 16/17, 19/20
or 21/22. The staggering of holes in the fillet shall be as shown in Fig. 1.
NOTE 1 -- 7/8 holes means t$at there are 7 holes in a4inr across the width of the fillet
and in the adjacent line there are 8 holes staggered as shown in Fig. 1.

NOTE2 - The number of holes across the width of the fillet depends upon the quality
of the cloth to be woven. The number of holes and quality of cotton cloth is given below

- ..-._----_ w
 IS : 4438 - 1967

for the information and guidance of the buyer and the seller:
Pattern Quality of Cloth
718 Coarse
g/10, 11/12 Medium
16/17 Fine
19/20, 21/22 Superfine

NOTE 3 - Diameter of holes and number of rows of holes per 5 cm along the length
of the fillet in respect of various patterns should generally be as follows:

Pattern Diameter qf -Numberof Rows15 cm

II/12 0.8 22
16117 0.4 26
19/20 0.4 26
21122 o-4 32

4. MARKING

4.1 Each roll of fillet ( see 5.1 ) shall be marked at an appropriate place
with the following:
a) Pattern ( see 3.3 ) ; and
b) Manufacturers name, initials or trade-mark.

4.1.1 Fillet may also be marked with the IS1 Certification Mark.

NOTE- The use of the IS1 Certification Mark is governed by the provisions of the
Indian Standards Institution ( Certification Marks ) Act, and the Rules and Regulations
made thereunder. Presence of this mark on products covered by an Indian Standard
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
during production. This system, which is devised and supervised by ISI and operated by
the producer, has the further safeguard that the products as actually marketed are
continuously checked by IS1 for conformity to the standard. Details of conditions, under
which a licence for the use of the IS1 Certification Mark may be granted to manufac-
tuters or processors, may be obtained from the Indian Standards Institution.

5. PACKING

5.1 A length of 150 m of fillet shall be wrapped in the form of a roll. The
roll shall then be oiled and wrapped with an inner layer of waterproof pack-
ing paper and finally with an outer layer of hessian.

5
 IS : 4438 - 1967

5.1.1 The package shall bear the following information:

a> Length of the fillet;

b) Pattern; and
c> Name, initials or trade-mark of the manufacturer.

6. SAMPLING

6.1 Lot - All the rolls of fillets of the same pattern and manufactured from
the same kind of material delivered to a buyer against one despatch note
shall constitute a lot.
6.2 The conformity of the lot to the requirements of this standard shall be
determined on the basis of the tests carried out on the sample drawn from it.
6.3 Unless otherwise agreed to between the buyer and the seller, the number
of rolls to be selected at random shall be according to co1 1 and 2 of Table 1.

NON-CONFORMING ROLLS

6.4 The rolls selected according to 6.3 shall be tested for width, thickness
and pattern.
6.5 Criteria for Conformity - The lot shall be declared as conforming to
the requirements of this standard, if the number of rolls found defective in
respect of any one or more of the characteristics tested in 6.4 does not
exceed the corresponding number given in co1 3 of Table 1.
