GET BIS CERTIFICATION FOR PIPE WRENCHES-HEAVY DUTY IS 4003 (Part 2)


GET BIS CERTIFICATION FOR PIPE WRENCHES - HEAVY DUTY IS 4003 (Part 2) : 1986

 

A pipe wrench is an adjustable wrench that is used, as the name implies, on pipes. Most often, pipe wrenches are used on threaded pipe, usually galvanized steel, black iron or similar metal pipes. A pipe wrench has two serrated jaws that are tightened and dig into the pipe for grip. The top serrated jaw adjusts up and down to fit different size pipes. The unique feature of a pipe wrench is that the teeth will only grip when turning the wrench in one direction (see above), so it almost acts as a ratchet wrench.

 

BIS is a statutory institution established under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act,1986  to promote harmonious development of the activities of standardization, marking and quality certification of goods and attending to connected matters in the country.

Here are the basic parts of a pipe wrench:

  1. Hook Jaw
  2. Nut
  3. Body
  4. Pin

Pipe wrenches come in a variety of sizes. They can be as small as six inches in length to over four feet. Each size can work on a limited range of pipes sizes. Most pipe wrenches are made of iron or aluminum. Aluminum is lighter but cannot handle as much torque as iron-bodied pipe wrenches. The position of the hook jaw may be in different angles compared to the body. The most common is parallel, followed by perpendicular. The tightening and loosening mechanism may vary slightly from model to model.
