S.No.CheckpointIS RequirementStatus
A. PENETRATION TEST (IS 1203)
A1Penetration test conducted per IS 1203; 100g standard needle, 25°C, 5 sec loading
Acceptance: Test at 25°C ±0.5°C; 5 sec loading; needle 100g ±0.5g; result in 0.1mm units		Cl. 501 — Test procedure
A2Penetration value measured (0.1mm units); result documented
Acceptance: 60/70 grade: 60-70; 80/100: 80-100; 100/120: 100-120; 150/200: 150-200 (dmm)		Cl. 501 — Measurement recording
A3Three test specimens prepared and measured; average and standard deviation calculated
Acceptance: Three measurements; standard deviation <2 dmm; result = average of three		Cl. 501 — Statistical analysis
B. SOFTENING POINT TEST (IS 1205)
B1Softening point test conducted per IS 1205 (Ring and Ball method); test at atmospheric pressure
Acceptance: Ring and ball apparatus; heating rate 5°C/min; end point when ball passes through ring		Cl. 501 — Test procedure
B2Softening point temperature recorded (°C); two test samples prepared
Acceptance: 60/70 grade: 46-56°C; 80/100: 47-57°C; measured at ±0.5°C precision		Cl. 501 — Temperature measurement
B3Average softening point calculated from two samples; result documented
Acceptance: Average of two tests; difference <2°C between samples; if >2°C, repeat test		Cl. 501 — Result calculation
C. DUCTILITY TEST (IS 1208)
C1Ductility test conducted per IS 1208; briquette mold, constant extension rate 5 cm/min, 25°C
Acceptance: Test at 25°C; extension rate 5 cm/min; temperature maintained ±0.5°C		Cl. 501 — Test procedure
C2Ductility measured as elongation (cm) before thread breaks; result recorded
Acceptance: 60/70 & 80/100 grade: ≥75 cm at 25°C minimum; measured to 0.1cm precision		Cl. 501 — Measurement recording
C3Two specimens tested; elongation values recorded separately; result = lower value reported
Acceptance: Two samples minimum; report lower value; if <75 cm, batch rejected for poor ductility		Cl. 501 — Sample testing
