IS 4169 : 2014/ISO 376 : 2011 Metallic Materials - calibration of force-proving instruments used for the verification of uniaxial testing machines

Reaffirmed 2020

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Second Revision) which is identical with ISO 376 : 2011 ‘Metallic materials - Calibration of force-proving instruments used for the verification of uniaxial testing machines’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Mechanical Testing of Metals Sectional Committee and approval of the Metallurgical Engineering Division Council.

This revision has been undertaken to harmonize it with the latest developments taken place at international level. The committee has now decided to adopt this standard under dual numbering system and make it align with ISO 376.

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.
