The bushing shall be manufactured and assembled on the roll by the manufacturer. The bushing material shall be either cast steel or forged steel with minimum yield strength of 280 MPa. All the parties have to confirm the above specification in toto and furnish the details required with respect to the same. CLAUSE 2: TONNAGE GUARANTEE CLAUSE The MTG (Minimum Tonnage Guarantee) of 40,000,00 T shall be evaluated on the basis of actual tonnage rolled by each roll individually before scrapping of roll due to achieving minimum workable diameter of 1800 mm. This (Actual Tonnage Rolled by each roll individually), will be referred to as Tonnage Guarantee Achieved (TGA) by that particular roll. The Tonnage Guarantee Achieved (TGA) shall be the actual tonnage rolled in Plate Mill considering the usage in both Roughing and Finishing Stands* *The performance of Plate Mill Backup Rolls shall be measured in terms of the Actual Tonnage Rolled in Finishing and Roughing Stands: The following methodology will be used for measuring the performance of Plate Mill Backup Rolls:

Appendix -6

(a) A new Backup roll of dia. 1900+1/+2 mm will be introduced for rolling and after a rolling campaign, the roll will be removed and reground in the Roll grinding Shop of Plate Mill. Again the roll will be used for a rolling campaign. This process is repeated till the roll reaches a dia of 1800 mm and subsequently the Roll is scrapped. Duration of each rolling campaign in Finishing Stand is approx. 1, 50,000 to 2, 00,000 Tonnes and in Roughing stand each rolling campaign is of approx. 2, 00,000 to 2, 50,000 Tons. (b) The TGA (Tonnage Guarantee Achieved) of each Backup Roll is cumulative tonnage rolled by a Backup Roll in Finishing as well as Roughing Stand and shall be cumulative (sum total) of all the rolling campaigns being actually rolled by that particular Roll. TGA by a Backup Roll = Total actual rolling by that Roll in Finishing Stand + Total actual rolling by that Roll in Roughing Stand (c) Each Roll has a history card, carrying manufacturers identification number/roll number and Plate Mill, Bhilai Steel Plant assigned unique Roll number to each Roll as maintained by the shop. Each new roll will be put on campaign after initial dressing and diameter will be recorded in the history card. History card contains the following information: Diameter in mm before and after grinding, after each campaign. Date of erection. Date of scrapping. Actual Tonnage rolled in each campaign and cumulative Tonnage. Remarks.
