Unless otherwise specified, the dimensional and shape tolerances applicable to cold rolled sheets and strips shall be as given in IS/ISO 16162:2005. 5.2.6 TENSILE TEST - Periodic calibration shall be done on the tensile testing machine. The frequency of such calibration should preferably be once in six months, and in any case, not more than once in a year. 5.2.6.1 Tensile tests shall be carried out only if specified by the purchaser. Tensile test shall be carried out in accordance with IS 1608 as applicable. The values shall conform to Table 3 of the specification. One representative sample from a coil or a lot of sheets shall be taken for tensile testing.
