FOREWORD 0.1This Indian Standard ( Third Revision ) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 19 January 1978, after the draft finalized by the Sanitary Appliances and Water Fittings Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council. 0.2 This specification for caulking lead was first issued in 1957 and was subsequently revised in 1962. The second revision was issued in 1966, A third revision of the standard has been taken top in the light of comments received on the standard. 0.2.1 In.order to conserve scarce metals the use of refined secondary metals is being encouraged in the country. In this revision the use of refined secondary lead conforming to Grade 99.80 of IS : 3717.1966* has been permitted in place of Grade Pb 99.94 of IS : 27-1965t since for caulking purposes high purity lead is not required. 0.3 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied witb, the 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 specification covers the requirements ,for different types of caulking lead suitable for use in water supply and sanitary installations. *Specificatioti for refined secondary lead. $Specification for pig lead ( second w&ion ). *Rules for rounding off numerical values ( reoised ). . 3 2. TYPES 2.1 Pig Lud - This type of caulking lead is intended for use in caulking joints in gas, water and sewer lines wherever it is practicable to use cut lead caulking. 2.2 Lead Wool and Lead Yam - This type of caulking lead is particularly intended for use in caulking joints in gas, water and sewer lines wherever it is impracticable to use cast lead, such `as inverted joints or in wet drainages or under water where there is a need for cold application. Joints caulked with lead wool or lead yarn will withstand greater displacenient than cast lead joints. SECTION 3.
