METHOD OF MEASUREMENT OF BUILDING AND CIVIL ENGINEERING WORKS

PART XXII MATERIALS

0. FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part XXII ) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 20 Aprii i982, after the draft finaiized by the Civil Works Measurement Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.

0.2 Measurement occupies a very important place in the planning and execution of any civil engineering work, from the time of first estimates to final completion and settlement of payments. Methods being followed for measurement are not uniform, and considerable differences exist between the practices followed by different construction agencies and also between various Central and State Government Departments. While it is recognized that each system of measurement has to be specifically related to administrative and financial organization with departments responsible for the wnrk 51 rlnifimtinn of th_e various rvetpinq at the= twhniral ls=w=l hn. . ...“., _ _-_...--.__-- ‘, .,.___.” _. .*.- .\-~...1.~1. ..,.-a -4”” been accepted as very desirable, specially as it permits a wider circle of operation for civil engineering contractors and eliminates ambiguities and misunderstandings arising out of inadequate understanding of various systems followed.

0.3 The practice for the method of measurement of supply of materials like sand, boulders, aggregates, etc varies considerably from one place to another with the result that a lot ofpractical difficulties arise in supply of such items. It has, therefore, been felt that methods of measurement of supply of such materials, as are generally taken from time to time for buildings and civil engineering works in substantial quantities, should be formulated. This part covers measurements of such materials.

0.4 In reporting the result of a measurement in accordance with this standard,‘if the final value observed or calculated is to be rounded off, it shall be done in accordance with IS : Z-1960*.

*Rules for rounding oli” numerical values ( revised ).
