( Second Revision)

o. FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part VI ) (Second Revision) was adopted bythe Indian Standards Institution on 8 February 1974, r.flV4 the draft finalizedby the Civil Works Measurement Sectional Committee had been approvedby the Civil Engineering Division Council.

0.2 Measurement occupies a very important place in the planning andexecution ofany civil engineering work from the time of first estimates to thefinal completion and settlement ofpayments for a project, Methods followedfor measurement are not uniform and considerable differences exist amongpractices followed by different construction agencies and also among variousCentral and State Government departments. While it is recognized thatach system of measurement has to be specificaJly related to administrativeand financial oranizations within a department responsible for the work, aunification of various s~tems at technical level has been accepted as verydesirable specially as it pennits a wider range of operation for civil engineer­ing contractors and eliminates ambiguities and misunderstanding of varioussystems followed.

03 Among various civil engineering items, measurement of buildings wasthe tint to be taken up for standardization and this standard having provisiolllralating to building work was first published in 1958 and was revised in·1964.In the course ofusage of this standard by various construction agencies In thecountry, several clarifications and suggestions for modifications were receivedand as a result ofstudy, the technical committee responsible for this standarddecided that its scope besides being applicable to buildings should beexpanded to cover method of measurement of civil engineering works likeindustrial and river valley projects.

O.t Since different trades are not related to one another, the Sectional Com­mittee decided that each trade as given in IS: 1200·1964· shall be issuedseparately as a different part. This will also be helpful to users in using thespecific standard. This part covers method of measurement of refractory work.

·M~thod of measurement of buildinl works (".utJ).

0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular ~uirement of thisltandard is compliedwith, the final value, observed.or calcUlated, expreuihgthe result of a meuurement, .h.11 be rounded off' in accordance withIS : 2·1960·. The Dumber ofsipificant places retained in the rounded offvalue should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

3. METHOD or MEASUREMENT

3.1 The items of work wherever nec~"ary and unless otherwise stated shallbe deemed to include the following:. a) Dressing of the brick.'1/blocks including cutting, grinding and

chipping to achieve proper thickness of joint and alignment asrequired in the drawings for all classes of work.

b) Dressing of bricks/blocks including cutting, grinding and chippingwherever necessary for expansion joints, sliding joints, bindingjoints, etc, to ensure proper curvature and keying in arches,curved surface, etc.

c) Forming of expansion joints, sliding joints, etc, excluding filling(for filling s" 3.8 ).

d) Finishing, pointing, clearing and cleaning of masonry joints, gaps,hollows, cavities, opening passages, ducts etc.

3.2 The refractory and insulation bricks and blocks, types of mortars andpowden to be used shall be fully described. Other auxiliary and fi1lin8materials, such as paper, cardboard, asbestos materials, mineral wool, waterglass, coke pitch, carbon mass.speeia! sands, crumbs, powders) admixtures anelplasticizers required to be in('drporated in the works shall also be described.

3.3 All refractory work wl1eas otherwise specified shall be measured incubic metres. The measurement shall be inclusive of mortar jointsexpansionjoints and sliding joints. Deductions for voids, openings, etc, shallbe made only when the area of each such opening and voids exceeds a·orsquare metre.

3.4 The method of measurement on volumetric basis as specified in 3.3 shallalso apply for eastable refractory work or refractory concreting, rammed,mass filling; filling of loose insulation materials, such as mica crumbs, slagwools, asbestos powders, fil-eclay mass and carbon mass.

3.5 Where the brick/blocks lining is separated from the shell 01" wall surfaceby the usc of asbestos, cardboard, etc, such insulating material shall be fullydescribed and measured separately in square metres,

3.8 Where intulation plaster is applied over the refractory surface. the sameshall be fullv described and measured ~c~pa1"at(~I\' in square metres.
