illustration.Theseshouldnotbeconsideredassuggestiveofanystandarddesign.
Hand rotarydusters on the basisoftheir mountingare mainlyoftwotypes:(a) belly-mounted,and (b)
shoulder-mounted. This part (Part 1) covers the requirementsofbclty-mounted typedusters while
Part2 coversshouldermounted typedusters.
For the purposeofdeciding whethera particularrequirementofthisstandard iscompliedwith, the final
value, observed or calculated,expressing the result of a test,shall be roundedoff inaccordancewith
IS2:1960'Rulesfor roundingoffnumerical values(rc\'ised)'. Thenumberofsignificant placesretained
