For precise dimensions, refer to the detailed tables and figures in IS 10019, Clause 4.
Permitted Surface Treatments for Corrosion Resistance (IS 10019):
These treatments enhance corrosion resistance by forming protective layers on steel surfaces.
| Treatment | Description | Corrosion Resistance Level |
|---|---|---|
| Copper Oxidation | Thin copper oxide film on steel surface | Moderate |
| Hot-dip Galvanizing | Zinc coating by immersion in molten zinc | High |
| Electro-galvanizing | Zinc coating by electroplating | Moderate to High |

According to IS 10019 Clause 5.1, the functional performance test for window stays is as follows:
| Position Angle | Allowed Tolerance |
|---|---|
| 30° | ±5° |
| 60° | ±5° |
| 90° | ±5° |
If the stay fails to hold the shutter within these angular limits, it is considered non-compliant.
This test verifies the functional reliability of the stay in typical operating positions, ensuring safety and usability.
