FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Third Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Copper and Copper Alloys Sectional Committee had been approved by the Metallurgical Engineering
Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1954 and subsequently
following modifications have been made:
a) Straightness
