This Indian Standard (Part 1) (First Revision) which is identical with ISO 9182-1 : 2013 ‘Tools for pressing - Guide pillars - Part 1: Types’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Metal Forming Machines Sectional Committee and approval of the Production and General Engineering Division Council.

This standard was first published in 2004 identical with ISO 9182-1 : 1992. The current revision of this standard has been undertaken to align with the latest version of international standard.

This Indian Standard has been issued in several parts. Other parts of this Indian Standard are:

Part 2 Type A, straight pillars

Part 3 Type B, end-locking pillars

Part 4 Type C, pillars with taper lead and bush

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

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be 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.
