FOREWORD

0.1This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institu-

tion 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 optimttm 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 d 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 ramshorn 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.
*Code of practice for design of overhead than steel work cranes. travclling cranes and gantry cranes other

IS:3815-1969 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. 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 in Appendix A. to be supplied with the enquiry and order is given

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 Dot : 67/31284 Steel higher tensile hooks ( revision of B. S. 2903 ) issued by the British Standards Institution. 0.10 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, final. value, observed or calculated, expre&ing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with The number of significant places retained in the rounded IS : 2-1960*. off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

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 thenut on the load side at least equal to the diameter of the shank. 6, WORKMANSHIP AND FINISH

The certificate shall give the results of all rests made. For the purpose of this standard test certificate in Form V of the Indian Dock Labourers Regulation, 1948, is acceptable provided that it is endorsed in co1 2 by the manufacturer or supplier that the hooks comply in all respects with this standard and that it states the material of which the hooks are made, the details of heat treatment to which they have been subjected and the destructive test results. 11.
