IS/ISO 3156 : 1976 : Stranded Wire Ropes for Mine Hoisting - Impregnating Compounds, Lubricants and Service Dressings - Characteristics and Tests

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard which is identical with ISO 3156 : 1976 ‘Stranded wire ropes for mine hoisting - Impregnating compounds, lubricants and service dressings - Characteristics and tests’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Wire Ropes and Wire Products Sectional Committee and approval of the Mechanical Engineering Division Council.

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.
