IS 1403 : Part 1 : 1993/ISO 7799 : 1985 Mechanical testing of metals - Reverse bend test Part 1 Sheet & strip

National Foreword

This Indian Standard (Part 1) which is identical with ISO 7799 :1985 `Metallic materials - Sheet and strip 3 mm thick or less -Reverse bend test', issued by the International Organization forStandardization (ISO), was adopted by the Bureau of IndianStandards on the recommendations of the Mechanical Testing ofMetals Sectional Committee (MTD 3) and approval of theMetallurgical Engineering Division Council.

This standard was first published in 1959 and subsequentlyrevised in 1981. The present revision has been brought out toaffect harmonization with International Standards. This standard,earlier published as IS 1403 : 1981 `Method for reverse bendtesting of metals', is now being issued in two parts. While thispart of the standard covers method of reverse bend test for sheetand strip: Part 2 intends to supersede IS 1716 : 1985 `Method ofreverse bend test for metallic wire'.
