Indian Standard
SPECIFICATION FOR
POINT HOOKS WITH SHANK FOR
GENERAL ENGINEERING PURPOSES
0. F O R E W O R D
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards
Institution on 31 March 1969, after the draft finalized by the Lifting
Chains and Associated Fittings and Components Sectional Committee
had been approved by the Mechanical Engineering Division Council.
0.2 Hooks form an important part of lifting gears extensively used for
a construction, erection and operation in industrial establishments,
and for material handling.
0.3 The hook may be of circular cross-section or of trapezoidal section.
The hooks may be specified with screwed shanks or with eyes. Point
hooks with screwed shanks have been covered in this standard. The
standard trapezoidal section specified here is the closest
approximation to the theoretical optimum triangular section and is to
be preferred to the circular section hooks wherever possible. For small
loads users may prefer a trapezoidal section of increased internal
diameter compared to that of the standard trapezoidal section. A
special trapezoidal section to meet this need is also included.
0.4 Shank hooks are not generally specified beyond the safe working
load of 40 tonnes in Grade 30 material or 50 tonnes in Grade 40
material though the range up to 50 tonnes is covered for both the
materials for standard trapezoidal section hooks in this standard. For
safe working loads exceeding 40 tonnes IS : 3177-1965* recommends
the use of ram-shorn hooks and lifting eyes.
0.5 On account of the need for reliability, it is recommended that
supplies should be obtained from manufacturers possessing adequate
facilities for heat treatment and testing equipment and employing
competent staff for inspection.
0.6 Users are warned that the hook shall not be taken as complying
with this standard unless the specified tests have been made and the
test requirements obtained in the presence of a person representing or
approved by the purchaser.
*Code of practice for design of overhead travelling cranes and gantry cranes other
than steel work cranes.

3
IS : 3815 - 1969
0.7 For normal conditions of use, the maximum permissible load (safe
working load) shall not exceed the values given in Tables 1, 2 and 3.
When the conditions of working are extremely hazardous or severe, the
permissible working load should be substantially less.
0.8 The information to be supplied with the enquiry and order is given
in Appendix A.
0.9 In the preparation of this standard assistance has been derived
from B. S. 482 : 1968 ‘Wrought iron and mild steel hooks for cranes,
slings, blocks and general engineering purposes (excluding building
operations) and Doc : 67/31284 ‘Steel higher tensile hooks (revision of
B. S. 2903) issued by the British Standards Institution.
0.10 This edition 1.1 incorporates Amendment No. 1 (December 1970).
Side bar indicates modification of the text as the result of
incorporation of the amendment.
0.11 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of
this standard is complied with, final value, observed or calculated,
expressing 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 covers the requirements of mild steel and higher
tensile steel point hooks with shank for general engineering purposes.
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.0 For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions shall
apply.

IS : 3815 - 1969
5.2.2 Tolerances on Hand-Forged Hooks — Forged dimensions shall
not be less than the values given in Tables 1, 2 and 3 and shall not
exceed these by more than the following amounts:
30 percent on the radius and dimensions Z, and
8 percent on all other dimensions.
C being a critical dimension it is recommended that it is as nearly
as possible to size.
5.3 Shank Details
5.3.1 Diameter of the Shank — A plus allowance shall be made when
forging the shank to allow for machining the diameter of the shank
and the diameter at the top of the screw thread. In all cases a fillet or
radius shall be machined at the junction of the shank and the forged
diameter adjacent to the shank.
5.3.2 Threaded Length — The length of the screwed portion of the
shank shall not be less than the nominal thread diameter. If the shank
and the nut which secures it are drilled to take a fixing or retaining
pin or for any other purpose, these shall remain a continuous length of
the shank engaged by the nut on the load side at least equal to the
diameter of the shank.
6. WORKMANSHIP AND FINISH
6.1 The hooks shall be free from defects and shall be cleanly forged in
such a manner that the macroscopic flow lines follow the body outline
of the hook. The whole of the shank shall be forged in one piece,
integral with the hook. The finished hook shall be clean and free from
coating of any description unless otherwise specified by the purchaser.
The hook shall be free from any welding.
7. HEAT TREATMENT
7.1 All hooks shall, before proof testing, be subjected to one of the
following heat treatments as agreed to between the purchaser and the
manufacturer:
a) Normalizing by heating to a temperature within 50 deg C above
the upper critical point of the steel used, followed by cooling in

proof load given in Tables 1, 2 and 3. Prior to the application of the
proof load, each hook shall bear two centre punch marks at positions a
and b as shown in Fig. 1. The change in distance between a and b
before applying proof load and after removal of proof load is the
amount of permanent set and shall not exceed 0.25 percent of the
initial distance. After removal of the proof load and determination of
the permanent set, each hook shall be thoroughly examined by a
competent person and shall be accepted as complying with this
standard only if found free from any flaw or defects.

NOTE 1 — Points ( a and b ) between which the hook shall be measured before and
after proof testing and recommended position for marking hook with safe working
