IS 1871 : Part 1 : 1987 Commentary on Indian Standard Schedules for Wrought Steels - Part 1 : Steels Specified by Tensile and/or Yield Properties

1 Scope

1.1 This commentary (Part 1) covers the standard steels given inIS 1570 : Part 1 : 1978.

1.1.1 Typical uses of the steels covered here are given in Appendix A.

1.2 These steels (see Table 1) are specified on the basis of their tensile and/or yield properties. Each grade of steel has been subdivided into two subgrades, one with a low yield to tensile ratio and the other with a high yield to tensile ratio.
