Testing Requirements for IS 1835:1976

Testing is one of the most important stages of BIS certification.

The BIS Product Manual identifies equipment and tests covering chemical, mechanical, dimensional and coating requirements.

Chemical Composition

Chemical composition is a fundamental requirement because the steel chemistry influences the strength and performance of wire.

The BIS test-equipment list identifies chemical analysis for:

• Carbon
• Sulphur
• Phosphorus
• Manganese
• Silicon
• Nickel
• Copper
• Chromium

The applicable composition requirements are based on the relevant grade/tensile designation and the requirements of IS 1835:1976.

Carbon

Carbon affects strength and other metallurgical characteristics of rope wire.

The specified carbon range depends on the relevant chemical grade.

Sulphur and Phosphorus

Sulphur and phosphorus are controlled because excessive levels can adversely affect steel performance and processing.

Manganese and Silicon

Manganese and silicon form part of the chemical-composition control for the relevant grades.

Nickel, Copper and Chromium

Where applicable to the selected grade, these elements are also controlled.

The BIS Product Manual provides instrumental and chemical-analysis methods for the applicable elements.

Tensile Strength

Tensile strength is one of the most important mechanical requirements for wire used in rope manufacture.

The BIS Product Manual identifies a Tensile Testing Machine for the tensile-strength test.

During certification, the applicable tensile designation must be declared and tested according to the relevant requirements.

Diameter and Dimensional Tolerance

Round steel wire must maintain the specified nominal diameter and applicable dimensional tolerance.

The Product Manual identifies:

• Steel scale
• Vernier calipers
• Micrometer

for dimensional measurements.

The inspection scheme specifies diameter control for each coil.

Torsion Test

The torsion test evaluates the ability of the wire to withstand twisting without unacceptable failure.

The BIS Product Manual identifies a Torsion Testing Machine for this purpose.

The inspection scheme lists torsion testing as a mechanical test under the applicable requirements.

Reverse Bend Test

Reverse bend testing evaluates the wire's resistance to repeated bending.

The BIS Product Manual identifies a Reverse Bend Testing Machine and references the applicable test requirements.

The inspection scheme states that reverse-bend testing may be carried out when required by the rope specification and specified by the purchaser.

Wrapping Test

Wrapping testing evaluates the ductility-related performance of the wire.

The Product Manual identifies a wrapping machine and magnifying glass for this purpose.

The inspection scheme specifies wrapping testing as and when required by the purchaser for bright wires only.

Zinc-Coating Uniformity

For galvanized wires, the zinc coating must have the required uniformity.

The BIS Product Manual identifies the relevant equipment and chemicals for determining coating uniformity.

The inspection scheme specifies:

1 sample in every 5 coils or part thereof for each control unit.

The frequency may also be agreed between buyer and manufacturer under the stated conditions.

Mass of Zinc Coating

The mass of zinc coating is another important requirement for galvanized rope wire.

The BIS Product Manual identifies the applicable weighing and chemical-analysis arrangement, with the test referenced to IS 6745.

The inspection scheme specifies:

1 sample in every 5 coils or part thereof for each control unit.

Adhesion of Zinc Coating

Adhesion testing checks whether the galvanized coating adheres properly to the steel wire.

The Product Manual identifies mandrels of suitable sizes for the adhesion test.

For galvanized wires, the inspection scheme specifies one sample in every five coils or part thereof for each control unit.

Freedom from Defects

The finished wire should be free from unacceptable defects.

The inspection scheme specifies freedom-from-defects inspection with:

2 samples from each coil.

The manufacturer should maintain suitable visual and dimensional inspection to identify surface defects before dispatch.

Product Grouping for IS 1835:1976

Product grouping is especially important for manufacturers producing several types and sizes of rope wire.

The BIS Product Manual identifies the following grouping parameters:

• Bright / galvanized finish
• Galvanizing Type A, AB or B
• Tensile designation
• Nominal diameter
• Delivery form

The grouping guidelines require samples for the range of tensile designations, nominal diameter and finish types applied for.

Bright Finish

One bright-finish sample for each tensile designation applied for is tested for physical, mechanical and chemical tests, preferably using the lowest size.

Galvanized Finish

For covering galvanized types, an additional galvanized sample of any tensile designation and the highest size is used for coating tests.

Type A, AB and B Galvanizing

The Product Manual states that where all galvanizing types are to be covered, the most stringent type, Type A, should be tested for coating.

For covering only Type AB and Type B, testing of a Type-AB sample is sufficient for the coating test under the specified grouping provision.

The manufacturer must have complete manufacturing and testing facilities for the sizes, grades and tensile designations included in the proposed licence scope.

Raw Material Requirements

The BIS Product Manual states that raw material can be:

Any raw material suitable for achieving the required chemical composition and desired mechanical properties.
