FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Fourth Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft
finalized by the Pig Iron and Cast Iron Sectional Committee had been approved by the Metallurgical
Engineering Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1950 and subsequently revised in 1962, 1970 and 1978. While
reviewing ,this standard in the light of the experience gained during these years, the committee decided to
revise it to align with the present practices followed by the Indian industries and to bring it in line with
the other overseas standards.
The various diameters of test bar according to the section size of the castings have been replaced by a
single size of test bar. Guidance on the effect of section size of the casting on the tensile strength is, how-
ever, given in Annex A. A comparison between grades is given in Annex B.
The production of castings in the higher grades of grey cast iron often involves special techniques. It is
r("commended, therefore, that for either large or intricate caslings or a casting involving both these condi-
s, or where the castings have to withstand exception conditions, the grade of grey c,!st iron selected and
any heat treatment involved should be agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser. The higher
grades of grey cast iron ( that is, Grade FG300, FG350 and FG400 ) present special difficulties for section
10 mm and thinner.
For the benefit of the purchaser, typical properties of grey cast iron have been added in Annex C.
Information to be supplied by the purchaser while ordering grey iron castings according to this specification
is given in Annex D.
In the formulation of this standard assistance has been derived from ISO 185 'Grey Cast Iron
-
Specifi-
cation' issued by International Organization for Standardization.
For the purpose of deciding whethn 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 accordanc~
with IS 2 : 1960 'Rules for roundiDg 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.

poured. More than one test bar may be cast in a
single mould. but each bar in the mould shall be
surrounded by a thickness of sand which is not
less than the diameter of the bar.
12 FREQUENCY OF TESTING
12.1 The number of tests required for each melt
or batch of castings shall be as laid down in
Table I, various classes of castings being divided
into five representative groups according to mass.
12.2 In the case of large tonnage or castings
being produced can tinuously, the minimum
number of test bars to be provided shal1 be one
tensile test representing every two bours produc-
tion from a melting furnace.
Table 1 Number of Tests
( Clause 12.1 )
Test Requirements
One te,t for each 500 kg
of castings or part thereof
One test for every 1 tonne
of castings or part thereof
One test for every 2 tonnes
of castings or part thereof
One test for every 3 tonnes
of castings or p2.rt thereof
One test for every 4 tonnes
of castings or part thereof
or one test fOf every
casting weighing 4 tonnes
or more
llln addition Groups 1,2, 3, and 4 all castings repre-
sented by one test shall be pour.-d from the same ladle
or same heat as the bar or bars provided for the test.
13 SIZE OF TEST BARS
A test bar from which the tensile test piece is
machin~d shall be cast as a uniform cylindrical
bar of 30 mm diameter. The tolerance on the
diamctn shal1 be gmm. The mmnnum lcngth
of the test bar sha!l be 230 mm.
14 TENSILE TEST
The tensile test shall be carried out in
;)
ccorda:lce
with IS 2078 : 1979, using a test piece conforming
to the dimensions in Fig. 1 and Tab1c 2. The test
piece shall be accurately machined, with a good
surface finish. The transition between the ends
and the paraJlel length shall be smooth, without
undercutting or a sudden step down in diameter.
NOTE - Self-aligning grips are recommendn: to
ensure axial loading.
15 TENSILE STRENGTH
vVhen tested in accordance with the requirement
of 13, the test piece shall comply with the mini-
mum requirements specified in Table 3. The
tensile strength specified is that obtained from test
bars cast separatel y from the castings to which
they refer. The test values represent, therefore,
only the quality of the metal from which the
casting have been poured.

specific point on the castings. These specific points
shall be such that they are amenable for hardness
checking in routine procedure.
16.1.2 The location of the specific point on a
casting for hardness measurement shall be as
agreed to between the purchaser and the manu-
facturer.
17 TRANSVERSE TEST

method given in Annex E. The minimum tcst
requiremrnts shall be agr-:ed upon at the time of
enquiry and order.
18 HYDROSTATIC TEST
If specified at the time of enquiry ancl order the
castings may be tested for the hydrostatic test
pressure. The requirements for the test pressure
shall be mutually agreed to between the purch~sel'
and the manufacturer.

ANNEX A
( Forewordand Clause 19.3 )
APPROXIMATE VARIATION OF STRENGTH
A-I The Indian Standard grades of grey cast iron
are based on the minimum tensile strength ob-
:ained when metal is cast into test bars of 30 mm
diameter. The strength developed by a given
metal shal1 vary with the coohngrate in the mould
higher strengths being obtained if the same metal
is cast into smaller bars than 30 mm diameter
and lower strengths if the metal is cast into bars
larger than 30 mm diameter. Similarly, the cool-
ing rate of a flat plate is slower than that of a bar
whose diameter is equal to the thickness of the
plate so that the strength developed in the plate
'I'ill be lower than that developed in the bar.
A-I.I The cooling rate of a casting in a mould
( hence the strength developed in any particular
section thickness by the metal employed for its
manufacture) is influenced also by the presence
of cores, changes in section thickness, the presence
of bosses projections and inters<>ctions, such as the
junctions of ribs and bosses. Thus, in castings of
other than simple shape and uniform thickness
tht> cooJing rate of any part can be expected to
differ from that of a flat plate of similar section
thickness.

A-2 Figure 2 gives a guide to the likely variation
in tensile strength in different sections when a
given grade 01 grey iron is cast into a casting of
simple shape and uniform thickness or containing
cored holes where the cooJing rate in the mould
of a given section shall differ from that in a casting
of sample shape and uniform thickness, the dia-
gram provides only an approximate guide to the
likely tensile strength in different sections and
design should be based on the measured tensile
strength in critical parts of the casting.
A-2.1 Table 4 gives guidance to the likely varia-
tion in tensile strength f(,r diffuent casting section
thicknesses when a given grade of grey cast iron
is cast into a casting of simple shape' and uni-
form thickness. For casting of non-uniform
section or castings containing cored holes, the
table provides only an approximate guide to
the likely tensile strength in dtfferent sections,
and casting design should be based on the
measured tensile strength in critical parts of the
casting.

TRANSVERSE TEST FOR GREY CAST IRON
E-l OBJECT OF THE TEST
The object of this test is to determine the trans-
verse bending strength of grey cast iron by apply-
ing constantly increasing single load at the centre
of a test bar arranged as a beam between two
supports until fracture occurs.
E-2 TEST BARS
E-2.1 The cast tcst bars shal1 have the dimensions
given in Table 5.

E-2.2 Test bar is normally tested unmachined.
The surface of the test bar shall be free from un-
evenness and seams which may be removed by
careful grinding. The diameter shall be measured
at the centre of the test bar in two directions per-
pendicular to one-another. The difference between
two measurements shall not exceed 5 percent of
the norma! diameter. The mean value of the two
diameters shall be the diameter do (see E-1) of
the test bar. For its permissible variations from
the nominal diameter and the accuracy of
measurement of the diameter, the values indicated
in Tables 5 and 6 shall apply.
E-3 PROCEDURE
E-3. I Place the two ends of the test bar on hori-
zontal supports. The support and the point of
application of the load shall be rounded to a
radius of 5 to 20 mm. Apply a single load verti-
cally at the centre of the bar ( see Fig. 4 ).
E-3.2 Increase the load uniformly without shock
until the bar fracture. The load should be applied
in such a way that the increase of stress does not
exceed 3 MPa per second Find out the load at
the fracture of the test bar with the accuracy
indicated in Table 6.
E-3.3 Determine the deflection of the test bar
from the motion of the thrust relative to the fixed
supports or to the supporting table of the machine.
In order to eliminate any errors in measuring the
deflection, the measurement should .be started
after applying a small preload as given in
Table 6.
