IS 2393 : 2010 : Parallel Pins, Of Unhardened Steel And (Third Revision)

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Third Revision) which is identical with ISO 2338 : 1997 ‘Parallel pins, of unhardened steel and austenitic stainless steel’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Bolts, Nuts and Fasteners Accessories Sectional Committee and approval of the Production and General Engineering Division Council.

This standard was originally issued in 1963 and revised in 1972 and 1980. The earlier edition was based on ISO 2338 : 1972 ‘Parallel pins, unhardened-metric series’. This third revision has been harmonized with ISO 2338 : 1997 by adoption to make pace with the latest developments taken place at international level.

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 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.
