INTRODUCTION
The first three Public Sector steel plants i.e. Bhilai, Rourkela &
Durgapur were set up in collaboration with three different
countries. Naturally, the equipment

and other hardware

installed in these plants were conforming to the standards of

the

respective

countries.

Subsequently,

Bokaro

was

commissioned in early seventies. It was rightly called the

Swadeshi

Steel

Plant

as

substantial

percentage

of

indigenous machinery and equipment were used in Bokaro.

With TISCO & IISCO already having their own sets of
specifications, there was a huge proliferation of types, sizes
and even designs leading to high inventories, problems in
maintenance and difficulties in procurement.
With a view to overcoming the above difficulties, the Ministry
of Steel & Mines, Govt. of India, appointed a Panel of Experts
on

Standardization

of

Steel

Plant

Equipment

which

recommended creation of a permanent body of experts to

carry out the standardization work. Emphasis was given to
formulate common standards and to develop indigenous
vendors.
IPSS Secretariat was created in 1975 to fulfill this objective.
Members of IPSS were SAIL, TISCO, HEC, BHEL, MECON and
DASTURCO. It started functioning under the then Indian
Standards Institution (now Bureau
Page 3 of 42

of Indian Standards)

IPSS HANDBOOK 2013

premises. In 1990, the whole activity was taken over by SAIL

and placed under Centre for Engineering & Technology (CET).
Subsequently, Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (RINL) also joined
this forum. In addition

to the above mentioned

member

organizations, all major Petroleum PSUs are members of the

Committees

which

formulate IPSS standards on Oils &

Lubricants & Hydraulic Machinery.

Since

formulating standards required extensive

use of

national, international standards, other reference data which

is readily available in Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) library
and with a need for regular interaction with BIS, it was
decided by SAIL management to retain IPSS Secretariat at
Delhi.

IPSS HANDBOOK 2013

FUNCTIONING OF IPSS
IPSS Secretariat draws its broad guidelines from Executive
Director, Centre for Engineering & Technology (CET). The
formulation of standards is done by Committee method on the
lines of BIS.
There

are

three broad categories of

standards viz.

Consumable Stores & Equipment, Design Parameters, and

Management. The standards in these areas are formulated
through a number of Standards Committees which have been
created

based

on

specializations. Members

of

these

Committees are specialists from steel plants and consultants

with vast experience in the respective area. Every member
organization is represented on all the Committees.
Before

finalizing

every

standard,

the

respective

manufacturers are invited to interact with the Committee so

that the views of the suppliers could be incorporated in the
standard. This ensures

better implementation of IPSS

standards.
Since IPSS endeavors to cater to the needs of the steel
industry, the following types of standards are formulated:
1)

Subjects

on

which

the

national

and

international

standards are not available. These are mostly based on

the available knowledge of the members of the concerned

Page 5 of 42

IPSS HANDBOOK 2013

technical

committees of

IPSS and

the

wealth

of

experience available at steel plants, design organizations

and

the

heavy

engineering

organizations.

IPSS

Secretariat has formulated a number of standards on

Steel Plants specific equipment. A number of switches,
gauges, sensors, etc. which are used in automation of
rolling mills etc. have also been standardized.
2)

Some standards utilize the technical contents

of the

corresponding Indian Standards. The inadequacies in the

Indian Standards (IS) from the view point of the steel
plants are overcome in these standards. For example,
most

of

the

electrical

procured as per Indian

machines

and

components

Standards are not able to

withstand the rigorous conditions of steel plants duty due

to

higher

ambient

temperature,

high

amount

of

conductive dust, presence of corrosive fumes, steam and

higher level of vibration, etc. in the critical areas of the
steel plants.

Therefore, IPSS standards have been

formulated for most of the electrical items keeping the

above stringent conditions in view.
3)

Technical contents of the Indian Standards (IS) have been

selectively incorporated in the IPSS standards with a view
to controlling proliferation of variety. Like

in IPSS

standard on Wire Ropes, only a limited number of sizes

have been retained for steel industry out of a wide variety

Page 6 of 42

IPSS HANDBOOK 2013

available in the IS. The motor frame sizes have also been
included selectively from the available Indian Standards
to control the inventory.
4)

Standardizing internal procedures of SAIL to bring

uniformity and transparency in the process has been
done. The examples of these standards are available in
Materials Management, Projects Management and Safety
Procedures.

number

of

Materials

Management

standards have been included in the SAILs Purchase &

Contract Procedure.
5)

Standards contribute to direct cost reduction. In line with

the needs of steel industry in general and SAIL in
particular, various procedures have been standardized
for repairs/reclamation of spares/consumables. Examples
of these are: Reclamation of Lubricants, Reconditioning of
Rolls, Reconditioning of Sinter Plant Pallets, Method of
Reconditioning of Blast Furnace Bells, Reclamation of Roll
Table Rollers, Reconditioning of Hot Blast Valve of Blast
Furnace, Code of Practice (COP) for repair of LT Squirrel
Cage Induction Motors, Code of Practice (COP) for repair
of HT Squirrel Cage Induction Motors etc.

AIMS & OBJECTIVES OF IPSS

IPSS in general, works on following Aims & Objectives:
1)

IPSS Secretariat formulates specifications and code of

practices exclusively for steel plants. Implementation of
IPSS Standards

reduces

the

recurring

problems,

downtime of equipment and thus results in reducing the

production loss. IPSS Standards improve the quality of
equipment / spares through properly made specifications
and thus increase life of equipment.
2)

To reduce lead time required for manufacture of steel

plant equipment by means of readymade specifications.
Reducing cost / unit provided a bulk order is ensured by
the steel plants. Implementation of IPSS Standards is kept
in view for this.

3)

To reduce foreign exchange components of new steel

plants by employing indigenous suppliers for supply of
equipment /spares just like Bokaro Steel Plant.

4)

To facilitate exchange of critical equipment and spares in

case of emergencies.

5)

To protect and protect the interest of steel industry in

national committees of BIS by participation and enforce
requirement of steel industry in national standards.

IPSS HANDBOOK 2013

6)

To ensure harmony of standards with IS / IEC / ISO.

7)

To maintain IPSS websites, both SAILs Intranet as well as

Internet. (Intranet site is for SAIL network only).
