IS 1161 covers round tubes used as structural members — trusses, scaffolding, frames, columns and supports. Tubes are identified by nominal bore (NB) or outside diameter with a class (light, medium, heavy) and grade (YSt 210, YSt 240, YSt 310).
Where a structural drawing specifies a round tube by OD × thickness, quote those numbers directly rather than converting to a nominal bore.
