3.11 Pollution Moderate
4. TECHNICAL PARICULARS:
I) Size of G.I. wire 4mm dia
II ) Tensile strength 56 to 95 kgf per sq.mm
III ) Quality Hard
5. MATERIAL :
5.1 The wires shall be drawn from the wire rod confirming to IS: 7887-
1975 or the latest version thereof.
5.2 The requirement for chemical composition for the wires shall
confirm to IS: 7887.
5.3 The wires shall be sound, free from split surface flaws, rough
jagged and imperfect edges and other detrimental defects on the
surface of the wires.
6. GALVANISING :
The wires shall be galvanized with Heavy coating as per IS: 4826-
1979 or the latest version thereof.
7. TOLERANCE IN DIAMETER:
The tolerance on nominal diameter at any section of wire shall not
exceed (+) (-) 2.5%. Further, the maximum difference between the
diameter at any two cross- Sections of wires shall not exceed 2.5%.
8. TESTS :
The following tests shall be carried out in accordance with IS: 280-1978 or the
latest version thereof as per sampling criteria stipulated therein.
1. Dimensional check (dia) refer clause 7 above.
2. Visual inspection regarding freedom from defects-refer clause 5.3
above.
3. Tensile test.
4. Wrapping test.
5. Coating test-refer clause 6 above.
6. Chemical composition.
9. TEST CERTIFICATES :
The supplier shall supply from any Govt. recognized test agency
the test certificates for the material offered as per IS: 280-1978 or
the latest version thereof for the approval of purchaser.
If the G.I. wire is bearing ISI marking then the certificate from the
approved Govt. agencies will not be required. It will not however
obviate the necessity of inspection /testing by the inspecting
officers of the Nigam.
10. INSPECITON :
The material shall be inspected and tested before dispatch as IS:
280-1978 or latest version thereof by an authorized representative
of the Nigam. In case the supplier is not in a position to get these
tests carried out at his works such tests may be got carried out by
him at any Govt. recognized tests agency at his own expenses.
11. PACKING :
The wires shall be supplied in 50-70 kg. Coils, each coils having
single continuous length. Each coil of wire shall be suitably bound
and fastened compactly and shall be protected by suitable
wrapping.
12. MARKING:
Each coil shall be provided with a label fixed firmly on the inner part
of the coil bearing the following information.
1. Manufacture’s name or trade mark.
2. Lot number and coil number.
3. Size.
4. Grade.
5. Mass.
6. Length.
7. Material may also be marked with ISI certification mark.
13. PLACE OF MANUFACTURE :
The name and place of manufacture should be given in the tender.
14. CHALLENGE CLAUSE:
The material offered /received after the inspection by the authorized
inspecting officer may again be subjected to the test for losses or
any other parameter from any Testing House/in-house technique of
the Nigam & the results if found deviating un-acceptable or not
complying to approved GTP’s the bidder shall arrange o supply the
replacement within thirty (30) days of such detection at his cost
including to & fro transportation. In addition to this penalty @ 10%
of cost of the inspected lot of material shall be imposed.
