in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the
timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

Indian Standard
SPECIFICATION FOR
MULTI-PURPOSE CLOSED CHOCKS

0. FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
on 2% July 1972, after the draft finalized by the Shipbuilding Sectional
Committee had been approved by the Marine, Cargo Movement and
Packaging Division Council.
0.2 It is a statutory requirement of the Panama Canal authorities to have
‘ Panama Chocks ( Farrleads ) ’ fitted at specified positions on the ship to
enable the ship to be towed through the canal. Ships are fitted with closed
chocks for other purposes also. This Indian Standard, on multi-purpose
closed chocks, includes the Panama Canal requirements and is closely
aligned with ISO/R 1685-1971 ‘ Multipurpose chocks of cast steel ’ issued
by International Organization for Standardization ( IS0 ).

0.3 The safe working load of the multi-purpose closed chocks is based on
the admissible breaking strength of ropes specified by competent authority
under whose rules the vessel is constructed.
0.4 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value;observed or calculated, express-
ing 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.

I. SCOPE
1.1 This standard specifies the material and dimensions for multi-purpose
closed chocks.

2. TERMINOLOGY

2.0 For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions shall apply,

2.1 Closed Chock - Closed chock is a deck fitting attached to the bul-
wark or to the deck to guide ropes to be passed from shore end to the ship,
This is also referred to as ( fairlead ‘.

*Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revislpd),

3
IS : 6634 - 1972

2.2 Nominal Size -The minimum opening in the closed chock shall be
referred to as the nominal size of the chock.

3. DESCRIPTION

3.1 Chocks ( fairleads ) are used to guide ropes from shore end to the ship.
These are welded directly to the bulwarks or with a simple substructure to
the deck.
3.1.1 Panama CanaI chocks have to be fitted in specified positions on
the ships in accordance with the Panama Canal Code of Federal
Regulations.
3.1.2 Chocks of nominal dimensions 320 and 400 can be used as single
and double chocks respectively and are in conformity with the Panama
Canal Company regulations. Appendix A gives the statutory requirements
of the Panama Canal Code of Federal Regulations in this regard.

4. MATERIAL

4.1 Chocks shall be made of weldable cast steel, normalized with a

minimum tensile strength of 380 N/mm2*. The material shall conform to
IS : 1030-1962t or to IS : 2985-1964$.

5. SHAPE AND DIMENSIONS

5.1 The shape and dimensions of multi-purpose closed chocks shall conform
to Table 1.

6. TOLERANCES

6.1 The tolerance in mm on dimensions of cast steel multi-purpose closed

chocks shall conform to IS : 4897-1968s.

7. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
7.1 Cast steel multi-purpose closed chocks shall be reasonably free from
casting defects, such as blow-holes, etc.

7.2 The surface finish shall be 12.5 to 30 microns assessed according to

IS : 3073-196711.

*N/mms 5 ;T kgf/mm2.
tSpecification for steel castings for general engineering puqzoses (m&i).
fSpecification for steel castings for ship’s structure.
@eviations for untoleranced dimensions and weight of steel castings.

8. DESIGNATION AND MARKING

8.1 Multi-purpose closed chocks shall be designated by its nominal size
and the number of this standard.
Examfile:
Closed chocks of nominal size 400 shall be designated as:
Closed Chock 400 IS :
8.1.1 The multi-purpose closed chocks may also be marked with the
ISI Certification Mark.
NOTE-The use of the ISI Certification Mark is governed by the provisions of the
Indian Standards Institution ( Certification Marks ) Act and the Rules and Regulations
made thereunder. The IS1 mark on products covered by an Indian Standard conveys
the assurance that they have been produced to comply with the requirements of that
f standard, under a well-defined system of inspection, testing and quality control which
is devised and supervised by IS1 and operated by the producer. IS1 marked
products are also continuously checked by IS1 for conformity to that standard as a
further safeguard. Details of conditions under which a licence for the use of the IS1
Certification Mark may be granted to manufacturers or processors, may be obtained
from the Indian Standards Institution.
