IS 15631 : 2005 /ISO 7436 : 1983 Slotted Set Screws with Cup Point

National Foreword

This Indian Standard which is identical with ISO 7436 : 1983 ?Slotted set screws with cup point? issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendations of the Bolts, Nuts and Fasteners Accessories Sectional Committee and approval of the Medical Instruments, General and Production Engineering Division Council.

The other standards in this series are given below:

IS 15628 : 2005 Slotted set screws with flat point

IS 15629 : 2005 Slotted set screws with cone point

IS 15630 : 2005 Slotted set screws with long dog point

Earlier the above subjects were covered by IS 2388 : 1971 ?Slotted grub screws ( first revision)? and the sizes were covered from M 1 to M 24 whereas this draft covers the sizes from M 1.2 to M 12. The Committee responsible for formulation of these standards decided that after the publication of above standards, IS 2388 : 1971 which earlier covered the above subject, shall be withdrawn.

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

In this adopted standard, reference appears to certain International Standards for which Indian Standards also exist. The corresponding Indian Standards,?which are to be substituted in their places, are listed below along with their degree of equivalence for the editions indicated:
