DEVIATIONS FOR UNTOLERANCED

GRAPHITE IRON CASTINGS
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
on 10 February 1977, after the draft finalized by the Cast Iron and
Malleable Cast Iron Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Structural and Metals Division Council.
0.2 The main object of this standard is to help the producers and the users
of spheroidal or nodular graphite iron castings, improve and simplify their
production and distribution, eliminate waste of time and material involved
in production and set up standards of quality and dimensions. It is hoped
that this standard will satisfy a long-felt need by simplifying the application
of agreed limits to drawing.
0.3 Casting tolerances in spheroidal or nodular graphite iron castings
depend mainly on the manufacturing process, that is, hand-moulding,
machine moulding or any other improved process.
fied in this standard relate to unmachined castings.
The tolerances speci-
0.4 This standard keeps in view the manufacturing and trade practices
followed in the country in this field. While preparing this standard,
assistance has been derived from DIN 168.5 ( Blatt 1 ) : 1962 Variations in
dimensions without tolerance indication for castings of iron with spheroidal
or nodular graphite; tolerance group A and B issued by Deutscher
Normenausschuss.
0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing
the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS:2-1960. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off
value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers deviations for untoleranced dimensions of

spheroidal or nodular graphite iron castings. Two classes are dealt with as
given below:
Class 1 Deviations for spheroidal or nodular graphite iron castings
involving machine moulding.
Class 2 Deviations for spheroidal or nodular graphite iron castings
involving hand moulding.
2. DEVIATIONS
2.1 Length, Width and Height - The deviations on untoleranced dimensions
of spheroidal or nodular graphite iron castings shall be as given in
Table 1.
