NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (First Revision) which is identical with ISO 2739 : 2012 ‘Sintered metal bushings — Determination of radial crushing strength’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Powder Metallurgical Materials and Products Sectional Committee and approval of the Metallurgical Engineering Division Council.

This standard was originally published in 1982. The first revision of this standard has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of ISO 2739 : 2012 ‘Sintered metal bushings — Determination of radial crushing strength’.

The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical with those used in Indian Standard. Attention is especially drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear, referring to this standard, it should be as read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
