IS 2985 : 1990 Steel Castings for Ship's Structure - Specification

1 Scope

1.1 This standard covers the requirements for weldable steelcastings for ship's structure, such as cast steel stern frames,rudder frames, rudder stocks, propeller shaft brackets and othersteel castings intended for use in hull construction.

1.2 Notwithstanding what is stated in this specification, therequirements as laid down in the rules for manufacture, testing andcertification of castings of Classification Society for which aship is being built, are to be complied with, in all respects. Forthis purpose, it is necessary that the purchaser gives the requiredparticulars to the foundry at the time of enquiry and order.
