Practical Notes

As this standard is withdrawn, it should only be used as a historical reference for maintaining or repairing old equipment manufactured according to it.

For new procurement, rely on the equipment manufacturer's specifications and current industry standards for materials and fabrication.

The referenced material code, IS 226, has been superseded by IS 2062. Use IS 2062 for equivalent steel grades.
