PART III BATTENS

(Fourth Revision)
0. FOREWORD 0.1This Indian Standard (Part III) (Fourth Revision) was adopted by the
Indian Standards Institution on 19 February 1974, after the draft finalized by the Wood Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.

covers provisions relating to different components of a plywood tea-chest, namely, battens, plywood panels, metal fittings, etc. Besides, it also covers provisions in respect of sizes and testing of assembled Since some of these aspects are the concern of different trades, tea-chest. such as for plywood, battens, metal fittings and to assist the quality enforcement procedures it has been felt that, the fourth revision of IS : IO-1970* be published in parts. This part deals with battens for plywood tea-chests. Other parts dealing with plywood panels, metal fittings, etc, would be prepared in due course. 0.2.1 In addition to the requirements already covered under IS : lo-1970*, this standard specifies certain minimum strength requirements of the battens as determined on full length finished battens. 0.3 In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to the international co-ordination among the standards and practices prevailing in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field in this country. 0.4 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-1960t. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

0.2 IS : lo-1970*

1.1 This standard (Part III) covers dimensions, requirements of timber suitable for battens for tea-chests.
*Specification for plywood tea-chests (third revision). fRules for rounding off numerical values (revised).

and species

IS : 10 (Part III) - 1974 2. TERMINOLOGY 2.1 For the purpose of this standard, the definitions given in IS : 707-1968*
and the following shall apply. 2.1.1 corners

Batten -

A rectangular

cross-sectioned piece of timber used in the

of fibres along the grain which is confined

of a tea-chest.

2.1.2 Checks - A separation to one face of the batten.

2.1.3 Insect Holes (Borer Holes) - A hole caused by the attack of wood boring insects and other organisms.

2.1.4

branch base or limb embedded growth of the tree.

in the

batten

during

2.1.5 Split - A separation of fibres which extends from one face of the batten to another and runs along the grain of the piece.

2.1.6 War@- A deviation or distortion from a true plane of the surface of the batten due to stresses caused by uneven moisture content. 3. SPECIES OF TIMBER

3.1 The battens shall be manufactured from any of the timbers listed in Appendix A, subject to certain species being treated in the manner described therein. The species of timber selected for the manufacture of battens shall have strength properties as required under 7. NOTE - Only fir and spruce are*generally recommended for battena for tea-chests for
export purposa. 4. DIMENSIONS 4.1 Dimensions AND TOLERANCES

For all sizes of tea-chests (see IS : lo-1970t), except tea-chest .used for packing instant tea (see 4.1.2) the cross section of the battens shall be The length of a set 2.2 x2.0 cm subject to the tolerances given under 4.2. of 12 battens required for assembling a tea-chest shall be governed by the following :
4.1.1

a) Four pieces shall be of length = H-5.4 cm b) Four pieces shall be of length = W-l cm c) Four pieces shall be of length = L-l cm
Where L, W and H are the length, width and height of the tea-chest respectively (see Fig. 1).

4.1.1.1 The dimensions of L, W and H, in that order, shall be governed by the overall dimensions, namely, length, width and height of the tea-chest,
*Glossary of terms applicable to timber and timber products (Jrsf rrtrision). tSpecification for plywood tea-chests (third rmti).

IS : 10 (Part III) - 1974

in that order: as laid down in IS : lo-1970*. Where L and W are of the same dimensions eight pieces of battens in a tea-chest shall have the same length [see 4.1.1(b) and 4.1.1(c)]. 4.1.2 The cross section of battens for tea-chest used for packing instant tea -shall be 2.6 x 2.6 cm. The length of a set of 12 battens shall be as follows : a) 4 pieces shall be of length = 78.3 cm b) 4 pieces shall be of length = 65.8 cm c) 4 pieces shall be of length = 35.2 cm 4.2 Tolerances - The following tolerances shall be allowed on the various dimensions of the battens: Length Breadth (2.2 cm) Thickness (2.0 cm) hl.5 *1.5 f2.0 mm mm mm

5. REQUIREMENTS 5.1 Battens shall conform to the provisions mentioned under 5.1.1 to 5.1.3.
*SpecScation for plywood tea-chests (Uzirdreuision).

Is : 10 (Part III) - 1974

5.1.1 Battens shall be free from splits, twist, loose knot, spiral grain and decay. The inclinations of grain shall not exceed 1 in 15. 5.1.1.1 If a batten with a permissible moisture content and grain deviation is tested on a surface plate, a deviation from straightness up to 2.0 mm at the centre of the batten may be allowed. 5.1.1.2 Insect holes - Live insect holes shall not be permitted. Dead insect holes may be permitted up to a maximum of 2 per batten provided they are only pin holes (that is, maximum dia 2 mm). 5.1.1.3 Live knots - Live knots up to a maximum of 6.5 mm in diameter may be permitted. However, such knots shall not be more than 3 in any batten and shall be away at least 50 mm from any end of the batten and 5 mm from any edge. 5.1.2 Moisture content of battens shall be determined on small portions approximately 2.5 cm in length taken from mid length portion of each batten and of full cross section by the oven dry procedure given in IS : 170%1969*. It shall not exceed 15 percent. The moisture content may also be determined by a calibrated moisture meter provided the same is measured at mid length position of the battens on the centre of one of the broad faces.

5.1.3 In any one consignment, lots of battens sufficient for at least 100 chests (or all the chests, if the lot is of a smaller quantity) shall be of the same species. 6. FINISHING 6.1 All top and whereas used for the battens shall be finished reasonably smooth. The battens for bottom shall have the ends mitred across the narrow face (2.0 cm) the corner.pieces shall have square ends. However, for tea-chests packing htant tea, all battens may be finished with square ends. TESTS FOR BATTENS

if any; and

9.1.1 Each batten may also be marked with the ISI Certification Mark.
The use of IS1 Certification Mark is governed by the provisions of the Indian (Certification Marks) Act and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder. The IS1 Mark on products covered by an Indian Standard conveys the assurance that they have been produced to comply with the requirements of that standard under a well-defined system of inspection, testing and quality control which is devised and supervised by IS1 and operated by the producer. IS1 marked products are also continuously checked by IS1 for conformity to that standard as a further safeguard. Details of conditions under which a licence for the use of IS1 Certification Mark may be granted to manufacturers or processors may be obtained from the Indian Standards Institution.
