FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Third Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the
draft finalized by the Steel Castings Sectional Committee had been approved by the Metallurgical
Engineering Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1968 and subsequently revised in 1976 and 1986. The present
revision is mainly to incorporate additionally the applicable machining allowances and permissibie
draft ( taper j, so as to make it a comprehensive standard, covering at one place all aspects affec-
ting the dimensions of steel castings.
Normally tolerances are specified for all important dimensions on the engineering drawings. The
deviations specified in this standard relate to untoleranced dimensions of unmachincd sand and
shell moulded castings. Futher machining allowances are to be added for outside dimensions and
subtracted for internal dimensions. These machining allowances should not be less than the
minimum machining depth necessary, plus the negative deviation in the case of outside dimen-
sions and the positive deviation in the case of internal dimensions.
In the preparation of this standard, assistance has been derived from the following publications:
i) ISO/CD 8062 Casting - System of dimensional tolerances and machining allowances’.
ii) Czech Standard CSN 014470 ‘Accuracy standard’.
Attention of the purchaser is invited to the fact that permissibe deviations on untoleranced
dimensions vary depending upon whether the concerned steel casting involves shell moulding or
machine moulding or hand moulding; so also the permissible machining allowance and draft.
Apart from following the useful norm of specifying tolerances as well as permissible allowances
on all important dimensions, the purchaser is advised to also stipulate in the drawing or in the
enquiry and the order, the class of dimensional deviations, machining allowances and draft that
he would like to be followed that is whether class lA, 1 or 2.

NOTES
1 On the surface which wmes at the top in the mould at the time of pouring, to account for the posrible
higher presence of dirt, slag, etc. thereon, additional machining stock may be provided to the extent of up to
1/3rd of the values specified above or 1-Omm, whichever is higher.
2 When proof or rough machining is to be done, the machining allowances shown above. may be increased
by up to 50 percent of the value specified above or 1.5 mm per face, .whichever is higher.
3 For grades of steel castings where the specified hardness is a minimum of 300 BHN ( the mid-point where
a range is specified ) the machining allowance shall be restricted to less than 70 percent of the values speci-
fied above. The same restriction would also apply where there is no hardness specified but the minimum
ultimate tensile strength is 100 kgf/mm* or above.

NOTES
1 On the surface which comes at the top in the mould at the time of pouring, to account for the possible
higher presence dirt, slag, etc, thereon, additional machining stock may be provided to the extent of up to
1/3rd of the value specified above 1.5 mm, whichever is higher.
2 When proof or rough machining is to be done, the machining allowance shown above, may be increased by
up to 50 percent of the value specified above or 2.5 mm per face, whichever is higher.
3 For grades of steel castings where the specified hardness is a minimum of 300 BHN ( the mid-point where
a range is specified the machining allowance shall be restricted to less than 70 percent of the value specified
above. The same restriction would apply where there is no hardness specified but the minimum ultimate
tensile strength stipulated is 100 kgf/mm: or above.
