Choose the named grade, surface finish and delivery condition.
The site lists carbon steel as a family. CR0, CR1, CR2 and other IS grades cannot be assigned to it automatically. Select the grade before specifying composition, tensile strength or elongation.

Chemical & Mechanical Properties
Select a table to compare the source-labelled material data.
| Grade / identification | Basis |
|---|---|
| Carbon Steel Specify the ordered grade | Select a named IS grade before assigning chemical limits. |
Carbon steel is a material family, not one grade or one composition.
These published alloy values are comparison data. The IS 513 (Part 1) acceptance limits must be checked in the specified revision.
Carbon Steel: select the named IS grade and thickness before assigning chemical and mechanical acceptance limits.
Typical properties are comparison values. Manufacturer limits marked “min” apply only to the stated product. Confirm the ordered revision, thickness, heat treatment, specimen direction and gauge length before material acceptance.
Engineered for demanding service.
Grade selection depends on the process environment, temperature, corrosion exposure and equipment design.
From material specification to gasket construction
Select the required product form, grade, delivery condition and certification for the approved gasket construction. Finished gasket dimensions and performance requirements are established separately.

Short answers for engineers and purchasing teams.
How should IS 513 (Part 1) be specified?
State the revision, exact material grade, product form, dimensions, delivery condition and certification requirements on the purchase order.
Are the displayed properties specification acceptance limits?
The tables identify published manufacturer reference data. Typical values describe the stated reference product and are not certified IS 513 (Part 1) limits. Use the ordered revision for material acceptance.
Are these all the materials covered by the standard?
This page links selected materials already present on the website. The linked material list is not the complete scope of the standard.
