FOREWOKD

Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 18 April 1983, after the draft finalized by the Steel Tubes, Pipes and Fittings Secti&al Committee had been approved by the Structural and Metals Division Council. 0.2 Steel tubes are extensively used as idlers for belt conveyors and the standard covering requirements for the same was first published in 1979. While reviewing the standard, it was felt necessary to issue a revision incorporating the following salient changes in the light of the experience gained in usage of the standard by the industry and the users. a) Amendment b) Certain No. 1, issued in September and 1981. to the requiretolerances

The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value shouldbe the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
