Review of Australian Standards.To keep abreast of progress in industry, Australian Standards are subjectto periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new edit ions as necessary. It isimportant therefore that Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edit ion, and anyamendments thereto.

Full details of all Australian Standards and related publications will be found in the Standards AustraliaCatalogue of Publications; this information is supplemented each month by the magazine ‘The AustralianStandard’, which subscribing members receive, and which gives details of new publications, new edit ionsand amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.

Suggestions for improvements to Australian Standards, addressed to the head off ice of Standards Australia,are welcomed. Noti fication of any inaccuracy or ambiguity found in an Australian Standard should be madewithout delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.

This Standard was issued in draft form for comment as DR 90108.

PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee on Structural Steel to supersedeAS 1163—1981. This edition incorporates the following changes:

(a) The deletion of C200 and all H (hot-formed) grades. The inclusion of a new cold-formed gradeC450 and grades with guaranteed impact performance at 0°C, namely C250L0, C350L0 andC450L0.

In line with the above change, the tensile strengths of grades C250 and C350 are reduced to reflectthe properties obtained on cold-formed sections.

(b) A revised table on chemical analysis.

(c) An amended table on minimum inside radius.

(d) A revised table on tensile test requirements.

(e) The deletion of the previous Appendix B on rounding of numbers in lieu of reference to AS 2706.

APPENDIX B

MEANS FOR DEMONSTRATING COMPLIANCE WITH THIS STANDARD(Informative)

B1 SCOPE This Appendix sets out the following different methods by which compliance with thisStandard can be demonstrated by the manufacturer or supplier:

(a) Assessment by means of statistical sampling.

(b) The use of Standards Australia’s StandardsMark scheme.

(c) Assurance using the acceptability of the supplier’s quality system.

(d) Other such means proposed by the manufacturer or supplier and acceptable to the customer.

B2 STATISTICAL SAMPLING Statistical sampling is a procedure that enables decisions to be madeabout the quality of batches of items after inspecting or testing only a portion of those items. Thisprocedure will only be valid if the sampling plan has been determined on a statistical basis and thefollowing requirements are met:

(a) The sample is drawn randomly from a population of product of known history that enables verificationthat the product was made from known materials at essentially the same time by essentially the sameprocesses and under essentially the same system of control.

(b) For each different situation, a suitable sampling plan is defined. A sampling plan for onemanufacturer of given capability and product throughput may not be relevant to another manufacturerproducing the same items.

In order for statistical sampling to be meaningful to the customer, the manufacturer or supplier needs todemonstrate how the above conditions have been satisfied. Sampling and the establishment of a samplingplan should be carried out in accordance with AS 1199, guidance to which is given in AS 1399.

B3 PRODUCT CERTIFICATION — STANDARDSMARK The general purpose of StandardsMarkcertification is to provide independent assurance of the claim by the manufacturer that products complywith the stated Australian or International Standard.

It is a certification scheme that meets the criteria of an ISO Type 5 scheme as specified by ISO Guide 44in that, as well as full type testing from independently sampled production and subsequent verification ofconformance, it requires the manufacturer to maintain an effective quality plan to control production toensure conformance with the relevant Standard.

The StandardsMark serves to indicate that the products consistently conform to the requirements of theStandard.

The StandardsMark can only be used by manufacturers approved and licensed by Standards Australia andonly when accompanied by the number of the applicable Standard.

B4 SUPPLIER’S QUALITY SYSTEM Where the manufacturer or supplier can demonstrate an auditedand registered quality management system complying with the requirements of the appropriate or stipulatedAustralian or International Standard for suppliers’ quality systems, such demonstration may provide thenecessary confidence that the specified requirements will be met. The quality assurance requirements needto be agreed between the customer and supplier and should include a quality or inspection and test planto ensure product conformity.

Guidance in determining the appropriate quality management system is given in AS 3900 and AS 3904.

B5 OTHER MEANS OF ASSESSMENT If the above methods are considered inappropriate,determination of compliance with the requirements of this Standard may be assessed on the basis of theresults of testing coupled with the manufacturer’s guarantee of product conformance.

Irrespective of acceptable quality levels (AQLs) or test frequencies, the responsibility remains with themanufacturer or supplier to deliver products that conform with the full requirements of the Standard.

To assess compliance with this specification, consideration may be given to the results of testing inaccordance with Paragraphs B5.1, B5.2 and B5.3.

B5.1 Sampling of tensile test, impact test and cold flattening testTest samples should be taken asfollows:

(a) One sample for a batch not exceeding 50 tonnes.

(b) One additional sample from the balance of the batch.

COPYRIGHT

AS 1163—1991 12

B5.2 Compliance Each batch complies with this Standard if all of the samples tested give results whichare within the specified limits.

If any of the properties of the tested samples give results outside the specified limits, the requirements ofParagraph B5.3 apply.

B5.3 Retests

B5.3.1 Tensile test and cold flattening testIf a retest is carried out, one or more of the followingprocedures should be adopted:

(a) Make two additional tests on test pieces from samples taken from a position as near as practical tothe failed sample. The unit complies with this Standard provided both additional test pieces complywith Clauses 16.1 and 16.3 as appropriate.

(b) Make two test samples at random from the remainder of the test batch. If the test pieces from bothadditional samples comply with Clauses 16.1 and 16.3 as appropriate, the remainder complies withthis Standard.

If one of these additional samples fails to comply, the steel of the applicable test batch does notcomply with this Standard.

(c) Make test samples from each rolled unit of steel and individually test in accordance with thisStandard. If the test piece from the additional sample complies with Clauses 16.1 and 16.3 asappropriate, the rolled unit of steel complies with this Standard.

(d) Reprocess (e.g. heat-treat) the unit which failed and perform another complete set of tests inaccordance with Paragraph B5.1. The unit complies with this Standard if the reprocessed test piecescomply with Clauses 16.1 and 16.3 as appropriate.

The remainder of the test batch complies with this Standard provided it is reprocessed in the samemanner as the above reprocessed unit and complies with the requirements of Clauses 16.1 and 16.3as appropriate.

B5.3.2 Impact testsIf a retest is carried out, one or more of the following procedures should be adopted:

(a) If the average value of the three impact test results is less than the specified minimum average, or ifone value is less than the specified individual test value given in Table 4 —

(i) test three additional test pieces from the original sample in accordance with Clause 14.3; and

(ii) add the results to those previously obtained and calculate a new average. If the average valueof the six tests is not less than the specified minimum average, and not more than one result ofthe six tests is below the specified individual test value, then the unit complies with thisStandard.

(b) Take two further test samples at random from the remainder of the test batch.

If the test pieces from both additional samples comply with Clause 16.2, then the remainder complieswith this Standard.

If one of these additional samples fails to comply, the batch (see Paragraph B5.1) does not complywith this Standard.

(c) Take test samples from each rolled unit of steel and individually test in accordance with this Standard.

If the test piece from the additional sample complies with Clause 16.2, then the rolled unit of steelcomplies with this Standard.

(d) Reprocess (e.g. heat-treat) the units which failed and perform another complete set of tests inaccordance with Paragraph B5.1.

If the reprocessed test pieces comply with Clauses 16.1, 16.2 and, if applicable, Clause 16.3, then theunit complies with this Standard.

The remainder of the test batch complies with this Standard provided it is reprocessed in the samemanner as the above reprocessed units and complies with the requirements of Clauses 16.1, 16.2 and,if applicable, Clause 16.3.

APPENDIX D

METHOD FOR VERIFYING GRADE L0 COMPLIANCE OF THINWALL SECTIONS

(Informative)

D1 SCOPE This Appendix sets out the method for verifying the compliance of thin wall sections with therequirements of grade L0 where the wall thickness precludes standard subsize Charpy V-Notch (CVN) impactspecimens.

D2 METHOD Where it is impracticable to obtain a standard subsize specimen, i.e. 10× 10, 10× 7.5, 10× 5.0,10 × 2.5 mm from a hollow section, that section is considered to comply with the requirements of grade L0 ifother hollow sections are available and meet the following criteria:

(a) The steel used is of the same nominal chemistry, manufactured by the same steelmaking and strip processingprocedures, and supplied by the same steel manufacturer.

(b) The wall thickness is greater than the section being assessed.

(c) The thickness to perimeter ratio is equal to or greater than the section being assessed.

D3 BACKGROUND This Standard recognizes the following principles:

(a) The preferred lower size limit for CVN impact tests is 10× 2.5 mm substandard specimens. This limit isrecognized in AS 1210.

(b) Susceptibility to brittle fracture is directly proportional to the wall thickness of the section being considered.It is generally recognized that brittle fractures do not occur in material less than 3.0 mm thick.

(c) The manufacturing factors that affect CVN impact values are as follows:

(i) Steel chemistry, e.g. carbon content and carbon equivalent.

(ii) Steel microstructure, e.g. grain size and steel cleanliness.

(iii) Cold strain experienced during the manufacture of the hollow section. The level of cold strain isproportional to the thickness to perimeter ratio.
