BIS CERTIFICATION FOR CARBON MANGANESE STEEL FORGING
IS 12146:1987

This standard specifies the requirements for carbon-manganese steel forgings for pressure vessels and components, primarily for intermediate or normal temperature service, with special emphasis on weldability.

General requirements for material supply shall be as specified in IS 1387:1967. Forgings shall be made from killed steel produced by only one of the primary processes, such as open-hearth, basic oxygen, or electric furnace, and may be followed by secondary steel production. To ensure freedom from harmful piping and segregation, sufficient discards must be made from each ingot. To ensure adequate deformation throughout the sections, forgings must be mechanically hot worked using a suitable process. Forgings must be free of defects that impair utility, and no surface conditioning other than grinding is permitted.

Tests

The following tests shall be carried out in accordance with the specified standard.

• Tensile test
• Dimensions and tolerances
• Impact test
• Ultrasonic testing
• Chemical composition
• Phosphorus content
• Manganese content
• Silicon content

Marking:

Marking shall be done as per IS 12146:1987. Unless otherwise agreed, each forging shall be legibly low-stress stamped with the grade of material, heat number or identification mark, and the manufacturer's trademark.

The Standard Mark (ISI Mark) may also be applied to forgings. Manufacturers must obtain a BIS license from the Bureau of Indian Standards to use a standard mark (ISI Mark). The Bureau grants a license based on a successful assessment of manufacturing infrastructure, production process, and quality control and testing capabilities during a visit to its manufacturing premises.
