Indian Standard
DIMENSIONS FOR
HOT ROLLED STEEL BARS FOR
THREADED COMPONENTS

(Second Reuision )

0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Second Revision ) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 25 November 1982, after the draft finalized by the
Wrought Steel Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Structural and Metals Division Council.
0.2 This standard was first published in 1964 and was revised in 1969.
While reviewing the standard in the light of the experience gained during
these years, the committee has felt it necessary to revise the standard to
bring it in line with the existing practices being followed in the country
in this field.
0.3 While special consideration has been given to cover round and
hexagonal hot rolled bars required for the threaded fastener industry, the
requirements regarding square bars have not been included in this standard
as they are not used in the threaded fastener industry in any appreciable
quantities, but these may be available, if so required by the purchaser.
0.4 For the benefit of the purchaser an informative Appendix (see
Appendix A ) giving particulars to be specified by the purchaser while
ordering for hot rolled bars has been included.
0.5 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.

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard prescribes the sizes and tolerances of hot rolled bars for
the manufacture of threaded components.
*Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ).

3
IS : 2591-1982

2. SUPPLY OF MATERIAL
2.1 General requirements relating to the supply of hot rolled bars for
threaded components shall conform to IS : 8910-1978*.
2.2 If agreed to between the purchaser and the manufacturer, the material
may be supplied on coils.
3. MATERIAL
3.1 The material shall conform to the requirements specified in the relevant
Indian Standard specifications.
4. FREEDOM FROM DEFECTS
4.1 The finished material shall be reasonably free from cracks, surface
flaws, laminations and other harmful surface defects.
4.2 If required, bars may be tested for non-destructive tests, such as
dye-penetrant, magna-flux tests, etc, subject to mutual agreement between
the supplier and the purchaser.
5. DIMENSIONS AND TOLERANCES
5.1 The dimensions and tolerances of round and hexagonal bars shall be as
given in Table 1.
5.2 Unless specified otherwise, the bars shall be supplied in lengths of not
less than 2.5 m.
5.3 Ovality and Out-of-Hexagon -The permissible ovality for round bars
measured as the difference between the maximum and minimum diameters,
and the out-of-hexagon for hexagonal bars measured as the distance between
parallel faces across any cross section shall be as given in Table 1.
5.4 Straightness Tolerance - The bars shall appear straight to eye. Unless
otherwise agreed to the permissible deviation shall not exceed 3 mm
per metre.
NOTE - These tolerances are not applicable to bars supplied in coils.
6. MARKING
6.1 Bars of sizes 50 mm and below shall be bundled as agreed to between
the purchaser and manufacturer. The metal tag attached to each bundle
shall be marked with the following:
i) Cast number,
ii) Manufacturer’s name or trade-mark, and
iii) Any other information required by the purchaser.
6.2 The colour schemes specified in IS:2049-19787 or as required by the
purchaser may be adopted to mark the grade of material.
