IS 9897 : 2013 : Indexable Inserts for Cutting Tools - Designation

Reaffirmed 2018

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Third Revision) which is identical with ISO 1832 : 2004 ‘Indexable inserts for cutting tools — Designation’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Cutting Tools Sectional Committee and approval of the Production and General Engineering Division Council.

This standard was originally published in 1993 based on ISO 1832 :1985 ‘Indexable inserts for cutting tools — Designation’ and subsequently revised to align with the latest version of ISO 1832 which was technically revised. This third revision is being harmonized with ISO 1832 : 2004 by adoption to make pace with the latest developments that have 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.
