ISI Certification (BIS) for
Plummer Block Housings IS 14347

The ISI certification of any product assures the safety and reliability of that product. One of the categories of products subjected to ISI certification is Mechanical Components, such as plummer block housing, which are used in many industries and manufacturing applications.

The Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS) documented IS no. 14347, which specifies the boundary dimension and requirements for plummer block housings for rolling bearings. They are generally made from cast iron, cast steel, and spheroidal graphite cast iron. Let’s delve deeper to know more about the BIS certification of Plummer Block Housing.

Overview of Plummer Block Housings

A plummer block housing is a bearing housing made to support bearings that bear heavy radial loads. They are found in mechanical systems such as pumps, conveyors, and rotating machinery. A plummer block housing protects the bearing from contaminants like dust and moisture, protecting the entire bearing from the environment. A plummer block housing should be produced from cast iron or at least conform to Grade FG 350 of IS 210 or cast steel conforming to IS 14347.

The use of this standard mark is subsequently governed by the provision of the Bureau of Indian Standards Act 1986 and the rules and regulations made thereunder. The standard specifies the boundary dimensions and other requirements for plummer block housing, which ensures consistency and quality. There is no official draft published by the BIS of plummer block housing, but it will be published soon by the authority.

 Key Features of Plummer Block Housings IS 14347

Key features of Plummer block housing are as follows:

1. Material Specifications: The materials utilized in the formulation of plummer block housings must fulfill specific aspects concerning their mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and value in service life.

2. Design and Construction: The design of plummer block housings must optimize load distribution and wear and protect the bearings. The IS 14347 standard outlines specifications for dimensions, tolerances, and fittings in such a way that it is suitable for many types of bearings.

3. Quality Control: The manufacturing process must include some form of quality inspection or control on the dimensions and surface finish; therefore, this means verifying that the delivered manufactured housing achieved the performance characteristics for a level of service life. 

4. Testing and Performance: The plummer block housings must all undergo some form of performance verification through testing. The standards include load tests, vibration tests, or some form of performance test to validate performance.

5. Marking and Documentation: Plummer block housing manufactured and certified to the IS 14357 standard is required to have the ISI mark. The ISI mark provides the customer with a level of assurance regarding the quality and performance of the product.
