FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on 20 July 19.89,
after the draft finalized by the Structural Sections Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil
Engineering Division Council.

This standard was first pubjished in 1961 covering steel plates, sheets and strips. On its first revision
in 1974 it was published in three parts covering plates, sheets and strips separately.

Steel flats which were covered separately in IS 1731 was revised in 1971 on the basis of ISO/R 1035/3-
1965. With the revision of this ISO. recommendation in 1980, the revision of IS 1731 was also felt
necessary. It has now been revised and amalgamated in this second revision of I,S 1730; wherein the
dimensions of flats habe been aligned with IS0 1035/3-1980 ‘Hot rolled steel bari; Part’3 Dimensions of
flats bars’. However, certain rationalized bar sections which are currently produced in the country have
been retaided in this specification.

Values of mass have been given in three significant figures.

For the purpose,,of.&.ciding 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 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)‘. The number of significant place:
retained in the rounded off value should be same as that of the specified value in t.his standard.
