FOREWORD
ISO Metric Standards: A Key to World Trade
There is an old and wise saying, “No standards-no trade.” This is certainly true for standard quantities and units. Without
consensus on these, trade, from shopping at the supermarket to exporting goods worldwide, would be very haphazard affair
indeed.
Most industrialized countries have long recognized the necessity, and advantage, of adopting the metric system of
measurement-or to give it its official title, the International System of Units (SI, for short-derived from its French title,
Système international d’unités), which ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is responsible for
maintaining.
The SI is contained in the International Standard ISO 31, Quantities and Units, which consist of 14 separate parts. It is
not only an important standard in itself, but it also serves as a basis and guideline for many other International Standards,
ISO 31 is the work of ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 12, Quantities, Units, Symbols, Conversion Factors, which has also
produced the accompanying standard, ISO 1000, SI Units and Recommendations for the Use of Their Multiples and of
Certain Other Units.
The reasons for aligning with the international consensus for worldwide use of the SI system become even more
compelling as the relative importance of trade over production continues to grow. In nearly every year since the end of the
Second World War, the volume of world trade has increased more rapidly than that of world production.
More than 20 years after most of the industrialized world has gone over to metric measurements, many in my own home
country, the USA, are still dragging behind. Quite apart from the USA government’s pro-metric stance, the USA is being
forced by market pressure to change.
The pressure is coming from American exporters who have to bear the expense of incorporating two systems of basic
measurements into their offering: one for the home market, and one for the rest of the world. Pressure will also increase
from American clients as the presence of incompatible systems denies them the possibility to mix and match products,
deprives them of the greatest freedom of choice, or ties them to one supplier because they cannot integrate new equipment
with what they already have.
There are, however certain sectors which have been completely metric, even in the USA For example, dimensions for film
have always been metric: 8 mm, 16 mm, 35 mm, etc. In electro-technology, the SI units such as ampere, volt, watt, ohm,
etc., have been used since the beginning of this country.
In industry outside electro-technology is also going metric step by step rather than inch by inch, even in the USA All
specifications for the defense industry have long been in metric units. It has been decided that all Federal orders to
industry from now on shall be given in metric units. All certificates from NIST, the National Institute for Standards and
Technology, have also, for many years now, been given only in SI units. Thus, it is certain that the largest industrial nation
will eventually become metric-maybe, I dare to hope, in my lifetime!
It is a particular pleasure for me, as ISO Secretary-General, and as an American, to be invited to provide the Foreword for
this second edition of Knut O. Kverneland’s book. Like ISO’s International Standards, it contributes to a common basis for
the international exchange of goods, services, and technological know-how, as well as promoting common understanding in
the scientific and engineering communities worldwide.

INTRODUCTION
The publication of Knut O. Kverneland’s book is most timely for the USA and Canada. It should prove to be a valuable
reference volume as well in other English speaking countries which are in the midst of or are completing the transition to the
metric system.
National standards having a metric base have been virtually unknown in the USA. Although many standards-developing
groups use dual measurement notation, the standard sizing and rating practices are still based on the conventional inch-
pound-gallon, USA customary system. USA technical committees are now coming to grips with the problem of developing
metric-based standards. As references in their work, they will be using the standards of ISO and IEC, as well as those of
industrialized nations which are already on the metric system.
Knut O. Kverneland’s METRIC STANDARDS for Worldwide Manufacturing will provide a very useful bridge for those
engineers who are required to develop components to metric specifications in advance of availability of applicable American
National Standards. The book will also be a valuable tool in guiding the many technical committees and subcommittees
which will be working on the new metric American National Standards.
A native of Norway, Mr. Kverneland received his early education in that country and graduated with a Masters of Science
in Mechanical Engineering from the Technical University of Hanover, Germany. He has been fully conversant with the
metric measurement units since childhood and is completely familiar with their use in engineering.
The author joined Massey Ferguson in 1966 as a design engineer, and has risen through consecutive positions as
Engineering Analyst and Standards Engineer until being appointed to the position of Supervisor of Standards. In this
capacity, Mr. Kverneland was responsible for Massey Ferguson’s North American standards.
Mr. Kverneland also maintains a heavy outside professional commitment. He was a member of the Society of Automotive
Engineers, Director of the Detroit Section of the Standards Engineering Society, and Chairman of the American National
Standards Committee B4 on Standards for Limits and Fits.
In 1972 and 1973, Mr. Kverneland participated as a member of an ad hoc metric study committee of the SAE Off-Road
Vehicle Council. He also served on the engineering standards evaluation and promotion subcommittee of the group.
Because of its international manufacturing operations, Massey Ferguson’s need for world metric standards information was
apparent. Mr. Kverneland was thus aided in his SAE committee work by the high degree of interest of his company’s
management, which provided him with ready access to the computer and to standards data accumulated in its many
manufacturing operations around the world. It was this work which prompted him to undertake writing of this book.
Mr. Kverneland is to be commended for his dedication to this project, and a well-deserved vote of thanks must be given to
Massey Ferguson for the management support it provided the author in this undertaking,

PREFACE
The change to the metric system offers North American manufacturing unique opportunities to introduce new thinking to
the old ways products were made. The metric system requires new fastener sizes, new material stock sizes, new cutting
tools, new gages, etc., to be used in production. This is where tremendously rewarding opportunities come into play. For
example, 11 or less threaded fastener sizes may be selected to replace more than 50 sizes used in the old systems (see
Table 8-1). Multiply the number of unique fastener sizes that can be eliminated by several thousand dollars each
(automotive actual savings), and the total dollar savings for your company can very well become quite impressive.
The selection of metric material and components must be based on existing international and national metric standards.
Therefore, in providing a foundation for this volume, the author has compared standards in the eight largest industrial
countries of the world, which together produce the majority of the worlds products.
The preferred numbering system, coupled with the preferred metric sizes, preferred metric tolerances for holes (4) and
shafts (4), and the preferred fits (10) (see Table 6-1), is another powerful tool available to you.
This highly integrated ISO tolerance system has been in use in the European continent for 60 years, where it has saved
industry there millions, if not billions, of dollars in reduced costs in manufacturing, engineering, purchasing, and inspection.
Among other things, this volume is also one of the most powerful rationalization tools available (see Table 4-1). It is now
up to the reader to make the rationalized selection of standard parts and components listed in this book that will return the
most benefits. The motto the author supports is “SELL AMERICAN” rather than the negative promotion we frequently hear.
“BUY AMERICAN.”
PREFACE to the 2005 edition:

Chapter 10 on Steel Material Data and Chapter 11 on Nonferrous Material show data from the recently released American
National Standards ANSI B32.100-2005 on Preferred Metric Sizes for Flat, Round, Square, Rectangular, and Hexagonal Metal
Products. The proposed drafts ANSI B32.200-200X Preferred Metric Sizes for Round, Square, and Rectangular Tubular Metal
Products Other Than Pipe, and ANSI B32.300-200X Preferred Metric Sizes for Equal and Unequal Leg Angles, T- and Channel -
Sections, IPN- and Wide Flange-Beams Structural Steel are also referenced and they are pending approvals. All these material
standards reflect existing ISO standards for nominal sizes and tolerances. They are therefore well suited for global design,
manufacturing and marketing, and will help create USA manufacturing jobs. Use the METRIC STANDARDS for Worldwide
Manufacturing latest book edition to find ways to cut costs and to increase export of manufactured
Products from the company you work for.

Chapter 2 International System of Measuring Units (SI) and Chapter 17 Conversion Factors and Program are now made
available free of charge from the web site http://www.kok.com/. This public service feature help educate Americans on the correct
use of the global metric system.
Several companies now make the electronic version of the METRIC STANDARDS for Worldwide Manufacturing book available on
their Intranet. Contact Rosemary Maginniss <RMAGINNI@ansi.org> at ANSI for quotes. This will help companies reduce the cost of
metric training and implementation. It also makes the top quality METRIC STANDARDS material immediately available throughout the
organization in marketing, manufacturing and engineering.

Data from the new standard for Metric Continuous and Double End Studs ANSI B18.31-2005 was added to Chapter 9 and
the tables in Chapter 11 now have the preference ratings specified in the American National Standards ANSI B32.100-2005 on
Preferred Metric Sizes for Flat, Round, Square, Rectangular, and Hexagonal Metal Products.
The latest national and international standards references are shown in this edition as well as new links to national and
international standard documentations sources.

Chapter 7 is completely replaced by material from the ISO 1938-1: 2012 standard. The ISO standard reflects available
GO NOGO gages now in use throughout EU, and the ANSI B4.4M has been withdrawn. Data from the new ANSI
B18.2.5M-2009 12-Point Flange Screws replaced the 12-Spline version. A large number of updates have also been made
in all chapters of the new edition.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The completion of the large project of writing the first edition of this book was possible only because of the extensive
cooperation of top management people within the Massey Ferguson organization. Standards engineers, working for this
multi-national company throughout the world, have provided substantial input to this publication in the form of national
standards information and other data. The author, therefore, wishes to express his appreciation to Massey Ferguson, his
former employer, for its encouragement and exceptional support in enabling him to undertake and complete the first edition
of this volume. Without Massey Ferguson worldwide resources, without access to the company’s computer capabilities,
and without the company’s generous backing in stenographic assistance, the time required for researching and preparing
this manuscript would have been many times greater.
The third electronic edition has been completed with the help of my own resources through the company
GO metricUSATM.org, Inc. Countless hours have been spent typing and updating the manuscript.
I would like to extend special thanks to the family of the late Dr. Lawrence D. Eicher, Secretary-General of ISO
(International Organization for Standardization), who has expressed his views in the foreword. In addition, the ISO Central
Secretariat in Geneva has helped update several chapters of this book, for which I am most grateful.
My sincerest thanks also to Mr. Roy P. Trowbridge, former president of the American National Standards Institute who,
during the initial planning stages of the first edition of this book, visualized the need for such a publication and gave the
author encouragement and support.
My sincere thanks to the publisher of the second edition of my book, ASME Press, that had the vision to take on this large
project and to grant me permission to publish the following electronic editions.

SUMMARY
International standards are herein listed and compared to major industrial (63% of global GDP) national standards
throughout this book (see Fig. 1-1). American National Standards for metric products are the basis for all tables in this
publication when available. Pertinent global ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standard numbers are
shown for each product, and related ISO and national standards are shown with hyperlinks to the standards organizations
at the end of each chapter. Acronyms, standard prefixes, name and addresses as well as email and telephone numbers to
a number of important national and international standards sources are shown in Table 1-1. Key standards groupings with
links to ISO search engines are shown in Tables 1-2 and 1-3. ISO Members Worldwide list provide contact information for
standards organization in each country.
A strong emphasis on cost savings and rationalization of parts and material has been stressed; Chapter 4, Preferred
Numbers, provides detailed descriptions of the best tools to help rationalize metric sizes and products.
ROLE OF STANDARDIZATION: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE

By definition, standards are rules set up and established by authority, often for the measure of quantity, weight, extent,
value, or quality. Monetary standards, used in determining the weight of silver and gold pieces for the exchange of goods,
were among the first to be developed.
During the industrialization period, manufacturing plants developed and became more and more specialized. A need for
standards to control such simple parts as fasteners evolved, hereby making them industrially interchangeable. The
demand for company and trade organization standards grew apace with the formation of larger plants and the wider
distribution of manufactured products.
The basis for most standards is a uniform unit of measure to check mass, length, volume, time, and other physical
quantities. Many systems were developed over the years, and the original metric system was developed in France after the
French Revolution. Since 1875, all international matters concerning the metric system have been the responsibility of the
Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures (CGPM), which was constituted following the Metric Convention signed in Paris
that same year.
Before the invention of the metric system, a number of inch systems were used throughout the world, one of which is
commonly known as the customary inch system. National and international standards were developed, however, based on
both measuring systems. This made the worldwide interchangeability of simple standard components, such as fasteners,
impossible.

METRIC AND INCH STANDARDS

An increasing number of multinational corporations and their local suppliers operating with two systems of measures and
standards have found expenses to be continually increasing. In order to use available expertise in a central location, one
machine might be designed in an “inch” nation, only to be produced later in a “metric” country, or vice versa. This obviously
generates additional costs in the conversion of drawings, substitutions of standard steel sizes and fasteners, the conversion
of testing and material specifications, etc.
12
ISO METRIC STANDARDS – THE KEY TO WORLD TRADE
The WTO (World Trade Organization), which is supported by more than 120 countries, now replaces the GATT (General
Agreement on Trade and Tariffs) with the result being a considerable strengthening of its standards codes. The WTO
urges governments to make maximum use of International Standards to prevent unnecessary obstacles to the free flow of
goods.
The EU (European Union) has been in existence for a few years now, and they have published a large number of European
Standards identified by the prefix EN (European Norm)1 Approximately 41% of these standards conform to an existing ISO
or IEC standard on the subject.
For example, ISO 898-1 on Mechanical Properties of Fasteners is now identified within EU as: DIN EN ISO 898-1
(Germany); NF EN ISO 898-1 (France); BS EN ISO 898-1 (United Kingdom); and UNI EN ISO 898-1 (Italy).
ISO standards adopted as EN standards are put into effect with a minimum effort on the part of EU, and two important
goals are met such as:
1. allow free flow of goods among the EU countries; and
2. allow free flow of goods to and from EU meeting the ISO standards.
Regional trade agreements and related activities in other parts of the world are similarly leading to greater use of
international standards. For example, the Pan American Standards Commission, which is trying to develop uniform
standards for the Latin-American Free Trade Association, has now agreed to use the ISO and IEC standards wherever
possible. Also, the countries of Eastern Europe have become increasingly active in the development of international
standards; apparently they are using them as the basis for trade in that region and in opening trade channels with the rest
of the world as well.
Another factor in the use of international standards is the increasing number of international cooperation programs. A
prime example is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which has been ordering a great deal of its equipment in
terms of ISO and IEC standards. This also is happening within many of the social and economic programs of the UN. and
other world organizations. One result is the adoption of many ISO and IEC standards by the developing countries.

Norm means standard in English, German, and French
ACCELERATING PACE IN PUBLICATION OF ISO STANDARDS

The above-mentioned factors have accelerated the speed with which ISO develops international standards.2 As an
example, only 100 ISO Recommendations were published in the 1950s, yet approximately 1400 international standards
agreements were reached in the following decade. See ISO in Figures.
Today, there are over 16 000 ISO standards, half of which have been published only in the last ten years. A further 9000
drafts and proposals are in preparation, and around 1250 new projects are added annually.
The time required to develop a standard in the Technical Committee has been reduced from an average of 76.8 months
to 52.9 months. The central Secretariat has reduced the processing time for a proposed standard from 10.2 months to 7.5
months. The ISO target is to reduce standards development to three years from start to finish by the end of 1996.
How many international standards are needed is a matter of opinion. It has been suggested that in a highly industrialized
society, the total requirement for national and international standards is on the order of 15 000, or a maximum of 20 000.
This number is also suggested if all national standards were to be replaced by ISO standards. (When more than that
number is found in a single country, there is usually some duplication and overlapping, which is the case in the USA, or, as
is the case in socialist countries, what could be called “company standards” are listed as “national standards.”)
Other suggest that in the future, as industries merge and multinational companies further develop, some of the present
national standards will become company standards, but there will always be a demand for some national standards to cater
to specific local needs.
However, recent experience indicates that as new technologies emerge, there is an accompanying demand for new
standards that have never existed at a national level. The scope for new international standards is, therefore, increasing
continuously.

Since ISO documents are constantly being upgraded, for simplicity the author refers to all ISO publications in the text of
this book as “standards,” designating a particular document as “ISO…” followed by the appropriate identification number.
However, the actual status of a particular ISO document might be: (a) Recommendation, in which case it would be
officially designated by “ISO/R…” preceding the appropriate identification number. (b) Draft International Standards,
(“ISO/DIS…”). (c) An officially adopted international standard, in which case the initials “ISO” followed by the identification
number is the appropriate designation. The ISO references given at the end of each chapter describe the current status of
the standard. Information on the various designations is given at the website http://www.iso.org or in ISO catalogs and
supplements available from: American National Standards Institute, 25 West 43rd Street, 4th Floor, New York NY 10036

A VISION OF THE FUTURE
Since 1986, the leadership of ISO and IEC has placed increasing importance on the necessity to understand and respond
effectively to new needs for international standards. In 1987, approval was given to establish two important new groups for
this purpose.
THE ISO/IEC PRESIDENTS’ ADVISORY BOARD ON TECHNOLOGICAL TRENDS (ABTT)

This is a group of top-level industrial and technology policy leaders invited by the two Presidents to advise ISO and IEC
on global trends in technology and industrial development, and their consequential impact on the demand for global
standardization.
THE ISO/IEC AD HOC GROUP ON LONG-RANGE PLANNING (LRPG)

This is a new group of individuals nominated by the ISO and IEC members for Canada, France, Japan, UK, USA, and the
former USSR. The group undertook the task of forecasting future needs for international standardization in specific sectors.
These two groups have worked interactively since they started operating in 1988, and the results of their efforts are
presented in the publication A Vision for the Future- Standards Need for Emerging Technologies.
ISO DEFINITION OF STANDARDIZATION AND STANDARD

The definition of standardization and standard differ in the many publications on the subject. The following are the
excerpts from the ISO/IEC Guide 2: 1991- General Terms and Their Definitions Concerning Standardization and Related
Activities.
Standardization- activity of establishing, with regard to actual or potential problems, provisions for common and repeated
use, aimed at the achievement of the optimum degree of order in a given context
NOTES:
1. In particular, the activity consists of the processes of formulating, issuing and implementing standards
2. Important benefits of standardization are improvement of the suitability of products, processes, and services for their
intended purposes, prevention of barriers to trade, and facilitation of technological cooperation.
subject of standardization — topic to be standardized
NOTES:
1. The expression “product, process or service” has been adopted throughout to encompass the subject of standardization
in a broad sense, and should be understood equally to cover, for example, any material, component, equipment, system,
interface, protocol, procedure, function, method, or activity.
2. Standardization may be limited to particular aspects of any subject. For example, in the case of shoes, sizes and
durability criteria could be standardized separately.
field of standardization — (deprecated: domain of standardization) — group of related subjects of standardization
NOTE: Engineering, transport, agriculture, quantities, and Units, for example, could be regarded as fields of
standardization.
state of the art — developed stage of technical capability at a given time as regards products, processes, and services,
based on the relevant consolidated findings of science, technology, and experience
acknowledged rule of technology — technical provision acknowledged by a majority of representative experts as reflecting
the state of the art
NOTE: A normative document on a technical subject, if prepared with the cooperation of concerned interests by
consultation and consensus procedures, is presumed to constitute an acknowledged rule of technology at the time of its
approval.
level of standardization — geographical, political, or economic extent of involvement in standardization

international standardization — standardization in which involvement is open to relevant bodies from all countries
regional standardization — standardization in which involvement is open to relevant bodies from countries from only one
geographical, political, or economic area of the world
national standardization — standardization that takes place at the level of one specific country
provincial standardization — standardization that takes place at the level of a territorial division of a country
NOTE: Within a country or a territorial division of a country, standardization may also take place on a branch or sectoral
basis (e.g., ministries), at local levels, at association and company levels in industry, and in individual factories, workshops,
and offices.
14
consensus — general agreement, characterized by the absence of sustained opposition to substantial issues by any
important part of the concerned interests and by a process that involves seeking to take into account the views of all parties
concerned and to reconcile any conflicting arguments
NOTE: Consensus need not imply unanimity.
IMPORTANT OBJECTIVES OF STANDARDIZATION

A primary purpose of standardization is to manufacture goods for less direct and indirect incurred costs and to adapt the
finished products to the demands of the marketplace.
A more detailed description of the objectives is as follows:
(a) Lower the production costs, when the aim is to:
1. facilitate and systematize the skilled work of designing
2. ensure optimum selection of materials, components, and semi-finished products
3. reduce stocks of materials, semi-finished products and finished products
4. minimize the number of different products sold
5. facilitate and economize the procurement of purchased goods
(b) Meet the demands of the marketplace, when the objective is to:
1. conform to regulations imposed by governments and trade organizations
2. stay within safety regulations set forth by governments
3. facilitate interchangeability requirements with existing products
DEVELOPMENT OF STANDARDS
The Conditions for a Standard. When there is a question of working out a standard, the conditions must first be
analyzed before actual technical standardization work can be carried out. Preparatory analysis must be as comprehensive
as possible and must take into account both technical and economic conditions. It is not sufficient to study only the internal
circumstances. It must also be understood that, with regard to standards, the company is dependent on such external
factors as the suppliers’ stocks of products, the production program of competitors, the customers’ wishes, existing
standards, governmental requirements, etc.
Waiting for the right moment to begin a particular standardization is most important. An investigation should be made as
to whether an intended standard could possibly impede any technical development already under way. Lack of a standard
is more often the condition, and it is important to engage in standardization at an early stage, at least to the extent of
working out an experimental standard of a temporary nature.
A certain type of regularly recurrent part may, for example, be used in many products in functionally equivalent, but
constructionally different, forms. In such a case, the task of standardization will be to create order out of chaos through
variety-reduction, size standardization, etc. The work should be started as soon as the possibilities of direct cost savings in
purchasing, production, inventory, etc., and indirect cost savings in engineers’ time can be established.
STANDARDIZATION TECHNIQUES
Two basic principles for the preparation of a standard are commonly used; these are as follows. analytical standardization
— standard developed from scratch
conservative standardization — standard based, as far as possible, on existing practice
In practice, it appears that a standard cannot often be a completely prepared in one or the other of these two methods,
but emerges from a compromise between the two. The quintessence of the standardization technique should be to utilize
the basic material, the rules, and the aids available, in such way that a valid and practical compromise solution is reached.
The basic material could be comprised of such items as:
• former company standards

• vendor catalogs
• national and international standards
• requirements of the company’s customers
• competitors’ material
Increasingly important are the national and international standards in existence on the subject; they should always play an
important role in any conservative standardization work. It would be foolish to create a unique new metric standard without
first considering some existing European metric standards.
15
NORMAL DEVELOPMENT LEVELS OF A STANDARD
The most common standardization levels are:
• company standard
• professional society or trade standard
• national standard
• regional standard
• international standard
The normal path through which a standard must pass in the developmental stages depends on the organization level and
the standardization technique applied. A new international standard generated by applying the analytical principle follows
the organization levels in a numerical order, while a company standard prepared after the conservative principle might be
based directly on the applicable international standard.
A more recent trend in international standardization is to draft a new standard directly when a need for it has been
established.
USER ACCEPTANCE OF STANDARDS

The development cycle of the standards is completed when the user applies the standards in his or her work. The
designer should, whenever possible, use internationally standardized parts and components. This would result in an
increase of the demand for the standard sizes and a decrease in manufacturing costs for the parts. With the above principle
applied to the increasing world flow of material and products, a substantial increase in worldwide productivity can be
visualized.
STANDARDS ORGANIZATIONS INTERNATIONAL LEVEL

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies, at present
comprising 146 members. The objective of ISO is to promote the development of standardization and related activities in
the world with a view to facilitating international exchange of goods and services, and to developing cooperation in the
sphere of intellectual, scientific, technological, and economic activity. The results of ISO technical work are published as
International Standards. The scope of ISO covers standardization in all fields except electrical and electronic engineering
standards, which are the responsibility of the International Electro-technical Commission (IEC).
ISO brings together the interests of producers, users (including consumers), governments worldwide, and the scientific
community, in the preparation of International Standards. Its technical work is carried out through 2940 technical bodies
utilizing more than 30 000 experts, resulting in the publication of 14 000 ISO standards.
A listing of acronyms and addresses for standards organizations is found in Table 1-1.
Origin
International standardization started in the electro-technical field some 90 years ago. While some attempts were made in
the 1930s to develop international standards in other technical fields, it was not until ISO was created that an international
standards organization devoted to standardization as a whole came into existence.
Following a meeting in London in 1946, delegates from 25 countries decided to create a new international organization
“the object of which would be to facilitate the international coordination and unification of industrial standards.” The new
organization, ISO, began to function officially on February 23, 1947.
Members
A member body of ISO is the national body “most representative of standardization in its country.” It follows that only one
such body for each country is accepted for membership in ISO. Member bodies are entitled to participate and exercise full
voting rights on any technical committee of ISO, are eligible for Council membership, and have seats in the General
Assembly.
By January 2003, the number of member bodies was 94.
More than 70% of the ISO member bodies are governmental institutions or organizations incorporated by public law. The
remainder have close links with the public administration in their own countries.
A correspondent member is normally an organization in a developing country which does not yet have its own national
standards body. Correspondent members do not take an active part in the technical work, but are entitled to be kept fully
informed about the work of interest to them. They may attend the General Assembly as observers. Nearly all the present
correspondent members are governmental institutions.
By January 2003, the number of correspondent members was 37.
Technical Work
The technical work of ISO is carried out through technical committees (TC). The decision to establish a technical
committee is taken by the ISO Technical Management Board which also approves ISO scope. Within this scope, the
committee determines its own program of work.
Work in the field of information technology is carried out through a joint ISO/IEC technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC I
16
Information Technology, established in 1987 by the ISO and IEC Councils.
Each technical committee may, in turn, establish subcommittees (SC) and working groups (WG) to cover different aspects
of its work.
Each technical committee or sub-committee has a secretariat, assigned to an ISO member body: in the case of technical
committees, by the Technical Board on behalf of Council, and in the case of subcommittees, by the parent committee. For
each working group, a convener is appointed by the parent committee.
By January 2003, there were 188 technical committees, 550 subcommittees, 2175 working groups, and 24 ad hoc study
groups.
A proposal to begin work in a new field of technical activity normally comes from within ISO itself, but it may also originate
from some other international organization. Since the resources are limited, priorities must be considered. Therefore, all
new proposals are submitted for consideration by the ISO member bodies. If accepted, either the new work will be referred
to the appropriate existing technical committee, or a new technical committee will be established.
To ensure coordination of work in all matters of common interest, liaisons are established between related technical
committees.
Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been authorized has the right to be
represented on that committee.
subcommittees (ISO/TC/SC) — This is the level at which most of the technical decisions are made and is also the level at
which much of the technical liaison takes place. Subcommittees are charged with the study of one or several items within
the scope of the technical committee.
working groups (ISO/TC/SC/WG) —The technical committees and subcommittees may set up working groups composed of
a restricted number of individuals to prepare working drafts for standards development. The group may function between
meetings of the parent committee, but it is automatically disbanded on completion of its task.
ad-hoc working group — a group that may be formed to deal with a matter on which it is required to report to the parent
committee at the same meeting in which it is formed.
EVOLUTION OF AN INTERNATIONAL STANDARD

Prior to July 1971, subjects proposed and approved by ISO were known as “ISO Recommendations.” Although the ISO
charter included provision for the approval and publication as ISO standards, the procedure had never been invoked. In
mid-1971, a decision was made to publish all ISO draft Recommendations as draft international standards and,
subsequently, as international standards. At the same time a new category of document, to be known as a “Technical
Report,” was introduced. The descriptions which follow reflect current terminology.
draft proposals — a draft submitted to the participating (P) members of a technical committee for study which is intended
eventually to become an International Standard. A given subject may undergo several successive committee drafts, i.e.,
first draft, second draft, etc.
draft international standard (DIS) — a committee draft which has received substantial support from the participating
members of the technical committee and is transmitted to the Central Secretariat for registration. This is then circulated to
the P-members and all the other Member Bodies for final letter ballot.
international standard — a draft international standard which has been adopted by a two-thirds majority vote of the P-
members of the technical committee and approved by 75% of all the Member Bodies voting
technical report — there are three types of technical reports, as follows
(a) When the required support cannot be obtained for a DIS to pass the approval stage, or in case of doubt concerning
consensus, the committee may decide, by a simple majority vote of its P-members, that the document should be published
in the form of a technical report.
(b) When the subject in question is still under technical development or where for any other reason there is the future but
not immediate possibility of an agreement on an international standard, the committee may decide that the publication of a
technical report would be appropriate. The decision to publish the technical report requires a simple majority vote of the P-
members of the committee. A technical report of type (b) may be used for “pre-standardization” purposes.
(c) When a committee has collected data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an international
standard (this may include, for example, data obtained from a survey carried out among the national bodies, data on work
in other international organizations, or data on the “state of the art” in relation to standards of national bodies on a particular
subject), the committee may decide, by a simple majority vote of its P-members, to publish such data in the form of a
technical report. Such a document will be entirely informative in nature.
Technical reports of types (a) and (b) are subject to review not later than three years after their publication. The aim of
such a review is to reexamine the situation, and if possible, to achieve the agreement necessary for the publication of an
international standard to replace the technical report.
FINANCE
ISO is maintained by the financial contributions of its members; the amount varies according to the circumstances of the
country concerned. Additional revenue, however, is gained from the sale of international standards and other publications.
17
INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION (IEC)
The International Electrotechnical Commission came into being in 1906.
ISO and JEC have established a formal agreemer4, stating the relationship between the two organizations. In accordance
with this agreement, ISO and IEC form the specialized system for worldwide standardization.
It is agreed that questions related to international standardization in the electrical and electronic engineering fields are the
concern of IEC. Other subject areas are the responsibility of ISO. In matters of international standardization not related to
any particular technology, ISO undertakes, in consultation with IEC, to safeguard any electro-technical interests which may
be involved. To ensure the necessary technical coordination, ISO and IEC have established a joint ISO/IEC Technical
Programming Committee.
The members of the IEC are the national committees, one for each country, which are required to be as representative as
possible of all electrical interests in the country concerned:
manufacturers, users, governmental authorities, teaching, and professional bodies. They are composed of representatives
of the various organizations which deal with questions of electrical standardization at the national level. Most of them are
recognized and supported by their governments.
In the technical work, numerous liaisons have been established between ISO and IEC committees, and a joint ISO/IEC
technical committee has been established in the field of information technology.
REGIONAL STANDARDS ORGANIZATIONS

ASAC (Asian Standards Advisory Committee) — setup in 1966 under ECAFE (Economic Commission for Asia and the
Far East). Regional standards are not envisaged.
COPANT (Pan American Standards Commission) — comprises national standards bodies of USA and 11 Latin American
countries. Regional standards published and available from ANSI in the Spanish language.
CEN (European Committee for Standardization) — comprises national standards bodies of the EU (Austria, Belgium,
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and
United Kingdom) and EFTA (Iceland, Norway and Switzerland). Over 1300 working groups prepare European standards
which, if accepted by 71% of CEN members, are published without variation of text in the countries accepting them as the
national standard.
CENELEC (European Committee for Electro-technical Standardization) — electro-technical counterpart of CEN. Comprises
national electro-technical committees of EEC and EFTA countries. The CENELEC Electronic Components Committee
produces harmonization documents with which national standards can be brought into line, with built-in quality assessment.
There are 12 working groups.
ECSC (European Coal and Steel Community) — the ECSC has produced more than 150 steel material (EURONORM)
standards, some of which are referred to in this publication
ECISS (European Committee for Iron and Steel Standardization) — revised and republished most of the EURONORM
standards as European standards (EN). An EN standard (German: Norm, French: Norme) is a document that has been
adopted by one of the three recognized European Standardization Organizations: CEN, CENELEC or ETSI. An EN is
available, in principle, in the three official languages of CEN (English, French and German).
PASC (Pacific Area Standards Congress) — comprises national standards bodies from the USA, Canada, Japan, Australia,
and New Zealand.
NATIONAL STANDARDS ORGANIZATIONS

ANSI (American National Standards Institute) — Only a brief review of the various functions ANSI fulfills will be presented
in this book. More details about the ANSI organization are available from the institute upon request.
ANSI provides the machinery for creating voluntary standards. It serves to eliminate duplication of standards activities and
to weld conflicting standards into single, nationally accepted standards under the designation “American National
Standards.”
The Standards Institute, under whose auspices this work is being done, is the USA clearinghouse and coordinating body
for standards activity on the national level. It is a federation of trade associations, technical societies, professional groups,
and consumer organizations. Some 1000 companies are affiliated with the Institute as company members.
The American National Standards Institute is the USA member of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO),
the International Electro-technical Commission (IEC), the Pan American Standards Commission (COPANT), and the Pacific
Area Standards Congress (PASC). Through these channels American interests make their position felt on the international
level.
other national standards bodies at the ISO — The eight national standards organizations with the largest gross national
products are listed in Fig. 1-1 and their addresses are given in Table 1-1. ANSI has the distribution of their national
standards in the USA.

The International System of Measuring Units (SI)
SUMMARY
The metric system is simple and easy to learn. Do not become confused with all the details given in this chapter. You
probably will not see most of the units in practical use. You should, however, learn the most common units for length, area,
volume, mass, and temperature shown in Table 2-1. Prefixes are shown in Table 2-2. Preferred units are shown in bold.
How the metric units relate to inch units are covered in Chapter 17. See conversion program.

1. In the metric system there are separate distinct units for mass and force. The kilogram is restricted to mass. The newton
is the unit of force and should be used in place of the “kilogram-force.” The newton instead of the kilogram-force should be
used in combination units which include force, for example, pressure or stress (N/m2 = Pa), energy (N•m = J), and power
(N•m/s = W).
Considerable confusion exist in the use of the term “mass” and “weight.” Mass is the property of matter to which it owes
its inertia. If a body at rest on the earth’s surface is released from the forces holding it at rest, it will experience the
acceleration of free fall (acceleration of gravity, g). The force required to restrain it against free fall is commonly called
weight. The acceleration of free fall varies in time and space, and weight is proportional to it. While at any point in time and
space, weight can therefore vary, mass does not. Observed g can differ by over 0.5% between various points on the
earth’s surface. Therefore, the difference of local g from the agreed standard value, 9.80665 m/s2, must be taken into
account for precise measurements where g is involved, such as delicate weigh
The term “mass” should be used to indicate the quantity of matter in an object. The term “weight” is commonly used
where the technically correct word is mass. Because of this widespread nontechnical use, the word weight should be
avoided in technical reports. In converting quantities that has been presented as weight, care must be taken to determine
whether force or mass is intended.
2. The dekanewton has some usage in EU since 1 daN = 1.02 kg (force).
Units and symbols
SI prefixes
The prefixes listed in Table 2-2 are used to form names and symbols of the decimal multiples and submultiples of the SI
units. These prefixes or their symbols are attached to names or symbols of units, forming what are properly called
“multiples and submultiples of metric units”. For recommended application of prefixes, see Table 2-1

Classes of units
The metric units are divided into two classes: base units and derived units. See definitions.
Base units
The metric system is built upon the seven well-defined base units of Table 2-3, which by convention are regarded as
independent. Note that throughout this publication the word “quantity” means a measurable attribute of a phenomenon or
of matter.

mass kilogram kg
time second s
electric current ampere A

amount of substance mole mol
luminous intensity candela cd
*See Temperature on p.37
Derived units
Derived SI units are shown in Table 2-4. Those SI derived units that have special names and symbols are listed in Table
2-5 and 6. Derived units are formed by combining base units according to the algebraic relations linking the corresponding
quantities. The symbols for derived units are obtained by means of the mathematical signs for multiplication, division, and
use of exponents. For example, the SI unit for speed is the meter per second (m/s or m•s-1) and that for density is kilogram
per cubic meter (kg/m3 or kg•m-3).

NOTES: *See last paragraph of History on p.42
**See Temperature on p.37
It is frequently advantageous to express derived units in terms of other derived units with special names; for example, the
metric unit for surface tension is usually expressed as N/m instead of kg/s2 and that for electric dipole moment is usually
expressed as C•m instead of A•s•m.

Unit of mass
Among the base and derived units of SI, the unit of mass (kilogram) is the only one whose name, for historical reasons,
contains a prefix. Names and symbols of decimal multiples and submultiples of the unit of mass are formed by attaching
prefixes to the word gram or prefix symbols to the symbol g.
Other units
Units from other systems
To preserve the advantage of SI as a coherent system, minimize the use of units from other systems with SI. Such use
should be limited to those listed in Table 2-7.

NOTE:
1. TIME: The international (military) designation is: 13:32 (instead of 1:32 p.m.); 11:15 (instead of 11:15 a.m.)
DATE: The all-numeric writing of dates varies in different parts of the world. The date April 2, 2012 is written as follows;
ISO 8601 : 2012-04-02
. USA : 4-2-2012
Europe : 2-4-2012
EU and many other countries have adopted the ISO standard for the writing of all-numeric dates in their standards, and it is
recommended for use in all international communications.
use of second (s) – the SI base unit s (second) is recommended in all applications where energy or power might be
calculated (torque, flow, speed).
Time
The SI unit for time is the second (s), which should be used in technical calculations. However, where time relates to life
customs or calendar cycles, the minute, hour, day, and other calendar units may be necessary. For example, vehicle
speed is often expressed in unit kilometer per hour (km/h)
Plane angle
The SI unit for plane angle is the number 1, which is also called by its special name radian (rad). Use of the degree and
its decimal submultiples is permissible when the radian is not a convenient value. Do not use the minute and second
except for special fields such as astronomy and cartography.
Volume
The SI unit for volume is the cubic meter (m3). Use this unit, or a multiple or submultiple of it such as cubic kilometer
(km3), cubic centimeter (cm3), etc. The liter (L) has the exact volume of one cubic decimeter (dm3). The name liter with its
new symbol and SI prefixes are easy to write and speak, and the author recommend its use in USA.
Mass
The SI unit for mass is the kilogram (kg). This unit, or a multiple or submultiple formed by attaching a SI prefix to gram
(g), is preferred in all applications. The name “ton” has been given to several large mass units that are widely used in
commerce and technology: the long ton of 2240 lb, the short ton of 2000 lb, and the metric ton of 1000 kg, which is almost
2205 lb. None of these terms is SI. The terms “metric ton” and “tonne” are restricted to commercial usage. The ton is also
used for volume (register ton) and power ratings (air conditioning). The author therefore recommends using the SI prefix
mega with gram, thus 1 Mg = 1000 kg.
Energy
The SI unit of energy, the joule, together with its multiples and submultiples, is preferred for all applications. The
kilowatthour is widely used as a measure of electric energy. This unit should not be introduced into any new fields, and
eventually it should be replaced. The unit to use is the megajoule.
Units in use temporarily with SI
Units in use temporarily with SI are shown in Table 2-8. These units should not be introduced where they are not
presently used.

rad rad, rd 1 rad = 1 cGy = 10-2 Gy
rem rem 1 rem = 1 cSv = 10-2 Sv
Length
The International nautical mile is now defined as 1852 m long, and it is used in nautical and aerial navigation to express
distance and speed.
Area
The SI unit for area is the square meter (m2). The hectare (ha) is a special name for the square hectometer (hm2). Large
land or water areas are generally expressed in hectares or in square kilometers (km2).
Pressure, stress and vacuum

The SI unit for pressure and stress is the pascal (newton per square meter), and with proper SI prefixes it should be used
in all applications. Do not use old metric units for pressure and stress such as kilogram-force per square centimeter
(kgf/cm2), or other non-SI units, such as torr and millimeter of mercury, for pressure. Because one bar equals 105 Pa, the
millibar should be called by its SI name, the hectopascal (1 mbar = 1 hPa).
Pressure and vacuum . Gage pressure is absolute pressure minus ambient pressure (usually atmospheric pressure).
Both gage pressure and absolute pressure are expressed in pascals, using SI prefixes as appropriate. Gage pressure is
positive if above ambient pressure and negative if below. Pressure below ambient is often called vacuum; if the term
“vacuum” is applied to numerical measure it should be made clear whether negative gage pressure or absolute gage
pressure is meant. See Editorial guide, Attachments to unit symbols for methods of designating gage pressure and
absolute pressure.
Centimeter-gram-second (cgs) units

Avoid all units with special names peculiar to the various cgs systems (measurement systems constructed by using the
centimeter, gram, and second as base units). Among these units are the following, defined for mechanics, fluid mechanics,
and photometry: the erg, dyne, gal, poise, stokes, stilb, phot, and lambert.
Further, avoid the cgs units for electricity and magnetism. This statement applies to the units designated by the general
abbreviation “esu” (for electrostatic cgs unit) and “emu” (for electromagnetic cgs unit), including those units that have been
given special names – gauss, oersted, maxwell, gilbert, biot, and franklin. It also applies to the unit names formed with the
prefixes ab and stat, for example, the abampere and statvolt.
Units and names that are not to be used
Table 2-9 lists deprecated units and, in many cases, units with which they may be replaced. These are examples of
several metric and related units other than those of SI that have been defined over the years. These include all units
defined only in the cgs, esu, and emu systems. Some of these are used only in special fields; others have found broad
application outside the USA. Except for the special cases discussed in the previous text, do not use units that are not part
of SI (as well as non-SI names for multiples and submultiples of SI units, such as micron for micrometer).

Some comments concerning quantities and units
Mass, force and weight
For a discussion of the treatment of these and related quantities in SI, see note (1) Table 2-1.
Temperature
The SI unit of thermodynamic temperature is the kelvin (K). Use this unit to express thermodynamic temperature and
temperature intervals. Wide use is also made of the degree Celsius (oC), which is equal to the unit kelvin; it is a special
name for expressing Celsius temperature and temperature intervals. Celsius temperature t (which replace centigrade
temperature) is related to thermodynamic temperature T by the equation
t = T – To, where To = 273.15 K by definition.
In practice, the International Temperature Scale of 1990(ITS-90) serves as the basis for high-accuracy temperature
measurements in science and technology.
Nominal dimensions
Many dimensions used to identify commercial products are nominal values – values like “2 by 4” lumber and one-inch
pipe that exist in name only and are used for the purpose of convenient designation. Others, like the inch-based trade sizes
of nuts and bolts, designate one of the critical dimensions of the product. Although individuals should not convert such
designations into SI units, trade associations and other organizations that are responsible for standardizing such products
may adopt, without changing the product, nominal metric designations as deemed appropriate.
Quantities and units used in rotational machines
Angle, angular velocity, and angular acceleration

The coherent SI unit of plane angle is the number one; thus the SI units of the quantities of angle, angular velocity, and
angular acceleration are, respectively, 1, 1/s, and 1/s2. However, it is often convenient to use the special name “radian”
(rad), instead of the number 1 when expressing the values of these quantities. Thus, for clarity, the unit rad, rad/s, and
rad/s2 are usually used, as shown in Table 6. Similar comments apply to solid angle; its coherent SI unit is also the number
1, which has the special name “steradian” (sr).
Moment of force (bending moment)

Because moment of force (bending moment) and torque are equal to a force times a distance (moment arm or lever arm),
their SI unit is N•m. The joule (J = N•m), which is a special name for the SI unit of energy and work, shall not be used as a
name for the unit of moment of force or of torque.
Moment of inertia
This quantity (Ι ) is a property of the mass distribution of a body about an axis (Ι = ∑m•r 2); its SI unit is kg•m2.
Angular momentum
Angular momentum (moment of momentum) is linear momentum (SI unit kg•m/s) times moment arm; its SI unit is
kg•m2/s. The total angular momentum of a body of moment of inertia Ι (SI unit kg•m2) rotating with angular velocity ω (SI
unit 1/s) is Ι•ω (SI unit kg•m2/s).
Kinetic energy
The kinetic energy of a body of moment of inertia Ι (SI unit kg•m2) rotating with angular velocity ω (SI unit 1/s) is Ι•ω2/2;
its SI unit is joule.
Work
The work done by a moment of force or by a torque (SI unit N•m) in a rotation through an angle (SI unit 1) is moment of
force or torque times angle of rotation; its SI unit is joule.
Note that if the unit of rotational work is written as N•m rather than as J, possible confusion may occur because in its form
it appears identical to the unit of moment of force or torque. In vector algebraic expressions or vector diagrams, the
distinction between work and moment of force or torque is obvious because work is the scalar product of force and
displacement while moment of force or torque involves the vector product of force and moment arm, but no such distinction
is possible in the associated units.
Impact energy absorption

This quantity, often incorrectly called “impact resistance” or “impact strength”, is measured in terms of work required to
break a standard specimen; the SI unit is joule.
Editorial guide
Introduction
The metric system is the international language of measurement. Its symbols are identical in all languages. Just as the
English language is governed by rules of spelling, punctuation and pronunciation, so is the language of measurement.
Uniformity of usage facilitates comprehension and leads to clarity in communications.
This Editorial guide is a recommended practice intended to serve as a guide to accepted and consistent USA usage of
the metric system, and does not constitute a standard.
Rules for writing SI unit symbols

Recommended use of SI units with names and symbols are shown in Table 2-1 and prefixes in Table 2-2.
Symbols. The short form for metric units and prefixes are called symbols. The first letter of a symbol is capitalized when
the name of the unit is derived from the name of a person. Other symbols are generally lower case*.
Examples:
Unit Name Symbol
meter m
liter L*
kilogram kg
newton N
pascal Pa
*In 1979. the CGPM approved “L” and “l” as alternative symbols for liter. Since the letter symbol “l” can easily be confused
with the numeral “1”, the symbol “L” is recommended for USA use. Any use of the script “ell” as a symbol for liter is
deprecated.
1. Print unit symbols in upright type regardless of the typestyle used in the surrounding text. Italic letters are reserved for
quantity symbols, such as A for area, m for mass, g for gravity acceleration and t for time. In typewriting or longhand,
underlining may be used as a substitute for italics.
2. Do not alter unit symbols in the plural. Examples: 1 m, 100 m. Plural name usage. Names of units may be plural for
numeric values greater than 1, equal to 0 or less than -1. All other values take only the singular form of the unit name.
Examples: 100 meters, 1.1 meters, 0 degrees Celsius, -4 degrees Celsius or
1.1 meter, 0 degree Celsius, 0.5 meter, ½ liter, -0.2 degree Celsius, -1 degree Celsius.
3. Do not follow unit symbols by a period except when used at the end of a sentence.
Examples: When you add 15 g of salt … The length of the field is 350 m.
4. Write letter unit symbols in lowercase (e.g., cd) unless the unit name has been derived from a proper name, in which
case the first letter of the symbol is capitalized (e.g., W, Pa). The exception is the symbol for liter, L. Prefix symbols use
either lowercase or uppercase letters as shown in Table 2-7. The importance of precise use of capital and lowercase
letters is shown by the following examples.
Examples:
G stands for giga; g for gram
K for kelvin; k for kilo
M for mega; m for milli
N for newton; n for nano
Names of units and prefixes are not capitalized except at the beginning of a sentence and in those titles, headings and
other instances in which all main words are capitalized.
Example: Meter is the unit used for some Olympic events. Force is measured in newtons.
Note: In “degree Celsius”, “degree” is lower case and “Celsius” is capitalized; “degree centigrade” is obsolete. Unit
symbols retain their prescribed form regardless of the surrounding typography.
5. If the value of a quantity is expressed as a numerical value and a unit symbol, a space shall be left between them. For
o o
example, write 35 mm, not 35mm, 2.37 lm (for 2.37 lumens), not 2.37lm, and 20 C, not 20 C.
EXCEPTION – No space is left between the number and the symbol for degree, minute, and second of plain angle.
6. Do not leave any space between the prefix and unit symbols.
7. Use symbols, not abbreviations, for units. For example, use “A”, and not “amp”, for ampere.
Rules for writing unit names
The handling of unit names varies internationally because of language differences. The following rules should be followed
in USA:
1. Spelled-out unit names are treated as common nouns in English. Thus, the first letter of a unit name is not capitalized
except at the beginning of a sentence or in capitalized material such as a title.
2. Use plurals as required by the rules of English grammar, for example, henries for the plural of henry.
EXCEPTION – The names for hertz, lux and siemens remain unchanged in plural.
3. Do not leave a space or place a hyphen between the prefix and unit name.
In three cases, the final vowel in the prefix is commonly omitted: “megohm,” “kilohm,” and “hectare.” In all other cases
where the unit name begins with a vowel, both vowels are retained and both are pronounced.
Units formed by multiplication and division
Unit names
1. Product. Use a space (preferred) or a hyphen:
Examples: newton meter or newton-meter
In the case of watt hour the space may be omitted, thus:
Examples: watthour
2. Quotient. Use the word “per” and not a solidus:
Examples: meter per second, not meter/second
3. Powers. Use the modifier “squared” or “cubed” placed after the unit name:
Examples: meter per second squared
In case of area or volume, a modifier may be placed before the unit name:
Examples: square millimeters, cubic meter, watt per square meter
4. Symbols. To avoid ambiguity in complicated expressions, unit symbols are preferred over unit names.
Unit symbols
The symbol for a compound unit that is the product of two or more units is indicated by either a raised dot, which is
preferred, or by a space; thus, for newton meter
Examples: N•m or N m
For limited character sets where the raised dot is not possible, use a space. In the case of kW•h, kilowatthour (a non-SI
unit), the raised dot is often omitted, as is the space; thus, kWh.
The symbol for a quotient of two or more units is indicated in one of the following ways:
Examples: m/s or m•s-1 or m
s
Do not use more than one solidus in the same expression unless parentheses are inserted to avoid ambiguity.
Examples: J/(mol•K) or J•mol-1•K-1 or (J/mol)/K, but not J/mol/K
Mixtures
Do not mix symbols and unit names in the same expression.
Examples: joules per kilogram or J/kg
Do not write: joules/kilogram nor joules/kg nor joules•kg-1
Attachments to unit symbols

Attachment of letters to a unit symbol as a means of giving information about the nature of the quantity under
consideration is incorrect. Thus, do not use MWe, Vac, VAC, kJt, “megawatt electrical (power),” “volts ac,” nor kilojoules
thermal (energy).” If the context leaves any doubt as to what is meant, qualify the name of the quantity appropriately. For
example, “ … an electric power of 1.4 MW.”
For the same reason, do not attempt to construct SI equivalents of the abbreviations “psia” (pounds per square inch,
absolute) and “psig,” which are often used to distinguish between absolute and gage pressure. Use instead “ … at a gage
pressure of 13 kPa” or “ … at an absolute pressure of 13 kPa.”
Where space is limited, such as on gages, nameplates, graph labels, and in table headings, the use of a modifier in
parentheses, such as “kPa (gage),” “kPa (absolute),” or “V (ac),” is permitted.
Rules for writing SI prefixes
In general, use the SI prefixes to indicate orders of magnitude. Thus, one can eliminate zeros (i.e., 12 300 m becomes
12.3 km) and leading zeros in decimal numbers (i.e., 0.001 23 µm becomes 1.23 nm). SI prefixes, therefore, provide a
convenient alternative to powers-of-ten notation preferred in computation (i.e., 12.3 x 103 m becomes 12.3 km). Never use
prefix alone.
A common unit-multiple is preferable even when some of the numerical values may require up to five or six digits before
the decimal point.
Examples:
mm for dimensions on engineering drawings
MPa for stress, except in very weak materials, for which kPa may be more convenient
GPa for modulus of elasticity in most materials, except elastomers
kg/m3 for mass density
In a table of values for the same quantity, or in a discussion of such values within a given context, the same unit multiple
should be used for all items even when some of the numerical values may require up to five or six digits before the decimal
point.
Mixing prefixes should be avoided unless the difference in size is extreme.

Examples: 40 mm wide and 1500 mm long, not 40 mm wide and 1.5 m long; but 1500 meters of 2-mm diameter wire.
Two units should not be used for one quantity.

Examples: 3.5 m, not 3 m 50 cm or 3 m 500 mm; 13.58 L, not 13 L 580 mL
Slang. A prefix should not be used without a unit.

Examples: kilogram, not kilo; 10 kilometer run or 10 km run, not 10 K run.
Roman numerals. Do not use M to indicate thousands (as in MCF for thousands of cubic feet or in MCM for thousands of
circular mills) nor MM to indicate millions, nor C to indicate hundreds, etc., because of conflicts with the SI prefixes.
Selection
When expressing a quantity by a numerical value and a unit, give preference to a prefix that yields a numerical value
between 0.1 and 1000. For simplicity, give preference to prefixes representing 1000 raised to a positive or negative integral
power. However, the following factors may justify deviation from these prefixes:
1. In expressing area and volume, the prefixes hecto, deka, deci and centi may be required; for example, cubic decimeter,
square hectometer, cubic centimeter.
2. In tables of values of the same quantity, or in a discussion of such values within a given context, it is preferable to use
the same unit multiple throughout.
3. For certain quantities in particular applications, one particular multiple or submultiple is often used. For example, the
millimeter is used for linear dimensions in engineering drawings even when the values lie far outside the range of 0.1
mm to 1000 mm; the centimeter is usually used for body measurements and clothing sizes.
Prefixes in compound units

A compound unit is a derived unit that is expressed in terms of two or more units, rather than by a single special name.
Ordinarily, only one prefix should be used in forming a multiple or submultiple of a compound unit. Normally the prefix
should be attached to a unit in the numerator. An exception to this is when the kilogram occurs in the denominator.
Examples: kV/m is usually preferable to V/mm
MJ/kg is usually preferable to kJ/g
kg/m3 is usually preferable to g/cm3 (NOTE – 1000 kg/m3 = 1 kg/dm3 = 1 g/cm3)
Compound prefixes
Do not use prefixes formed by the juxtaposition of two or more SI prefixes.
Examples: 1.3 nm, not 1.3 mµm
2.4 pF, not 2.4 µµF
If a value is required outside the range covered by the prefixes, express it by using a power of ten applied to the unit.
Examples: 2 MJ = 2 x 106 J
Powers of units
An exponent attached to a symbol containing a prefix indicates that the multiple or submultiple of the unit (the unit with its
prefix) is raised to the power expressed by the exponent.
Examples: 1 cm3 = (10-2 m)3 = 10-6 m3
2.5 ns-1 = 2.5(10-9 s)-1 = 2.5 x 109 s-1
7 mm2/s = 7(10-3 m)2/s = 7 x 10-6 m2/s
Prefixes defined as powers of two
In the computer field the SI prefixes kilo, mega, giga, etc. have sometimes been defined as powers of two. That is, kilo
has been used to mean 1024 (i.e., 210), mega has been used to mean 1048 576 (i.e., 220), etc. This practice frequently
leads to confusion and is deprecated.
Numbers
Decimal marker
In the USA, the decimal marker is a dot on the line. When writing numbers less than one, write a zero before the decimal
marker.
Outside the USA, the comma is widely used as the decimal marker. In some applications, therefore, the common
practice in the USA of using a comma to separate digits into groups of three (as in 23,478; EU use 23.478) may cause
ambiguity. To avoid this potential source of confusion, recommended international practice calls for separating the digits
into groups of three, counting from the decimal marker toward the left and the right, and using a thin, fixed space to
separate the groups. In numbers of four digits on either side of the decimal marker the space is usually not necessary,
except for uniformity in tables.
Examples: 2.141 596 73 722 0.1334
Where this practice is followed, the width of the space should be constant even if, as is often the case in printing, justified
spacing is used between words. In certain special applications, such as in engineering drawings and financial statements,
the practice of inserting spaces to separate groups of numbers is not customary.
Decimal notation is preferred with metric measurements, but simple fractions are acceptable (except on engineering
drawings), such as those where the denominator is 2, 3 or 4.
Examples: 0.5 g, 1.75 kg and 0.7 L are preferred;
½ g, is acceptable (except on engineering drawings)
Nonsignificant zeros are normally not used.

Examples: 25 not 25.0
EXCEPTION – Uniformity of inscription on drawings with limit dimensions.
Examples: 25.00 25
not
24.46 24.46
Hyphens are used when a quantity is placed in an adjectival sense.
Examples: A 3-meter pole … The length is 3 meters.
A 35-mm film … The width is 35 mm.
Billion . Because billion means a thousand million in the USA but a million million in most other countries, avoid the term
and similar terms for large numbers in international communications. How the terms billion, trillion, etc. relate throughout the
world is well outlined at the following site: http://www.jimloy.com/math/billion.htm.
Examples:
Multiplication factor Prefix Symbol Term
USA Other countries
1 000 000 000 000=1012 tera T trillion billion
1 000 000 000=109 giga G billion milliard
Quantities expressed as pure numbers

Certain so-called dimensionless quantities, as for example refractive index, relative permeability, relative mass density, or
the friction factor, are defined as the ratio of two compatible quantities. Such quantities have a dimensional product – or
dimension – equal to 1 and are therefore expressed by pure numbers. The coherent SI unit is then the ratio of two identical
SI units and may be expressed by the number one (for example, m/m = 1). More generally, a quantity of dimension one
may be expressed by the ratio of units (for example, mm/m = 10-3). The number one is generally not written out explicitly
when a quantity of dimension one is expressed numerically.
The percent symbol (%) may be used for the number 0.01. Avoid, however, the abbreviations ppm for parts per million
and ppb for parts per billion. Because the names for numbers one billion and larger are not uniform worldwide, do not use
terms such as parts per billion and parts per trillion.
When expressing the values of quantities of dimension one, the meaning has to be clear. Expressions like "The mass
fraction of Pt in the sample is 90% (or 0.9),” “the volume fraction of CO2 in the sample is 1.2 x 10-6,” or “the amount-of-
substance fraction Pb in the sample is 2.7 x 10-3,” are permissible; but they would not be permissible if the words “mass”,
“volume,” and “amount of substance,” respectively, were not in the three expressions. These three fractions can also be
expressed as 0.9 kg/kg, 1.2 cm3/m3, and 2.7 mmol/mol, respectively, which are more understandable and, therefore,
preferred.
History
Development of the International System of Units (SI)
The decimal system of units was conceived in the 16th century, when there was a great confusion and a jumble of units of
weights and measures. It was not until 1790, however, that the French National Assembly requested the French Academy
of Sciences to work out a system of units suitable for adoption by the entire world. This system was based on the meter as
a unit of length. The mass of a cubic centimeter of water, the gram, was adopted as a practical measure to benefit industry
and commerce. Physicists soon realized the system’s advantages, and it was adopted also in scientific and technical
circles. The importance of the regulation of weights and measures was recognized in Article 1, Section 8, when the United
States Constitution was written in 1787. The metric system was legalized in this country in 1866. In 1893, the international
meter and kilogram became the fundamental standards of length and mass in the United States, both for metric and
customary weights and measures.
Meanwhile, international standardization began with an 1870 meeting of 17 nations in Paris that lead to the May 20, 1875
Convention du Mètre and the establishment of a permanent International Bureau of Weights and Measures near Paris. A
General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) was also constituted to handle all international matters concerning
the metric system. The CGPM meets at least every six years in Paris and controls the International Bureau of Weights and
Measures, which in turn preserves the metric standards, compares national standards with them, and conducts research to
establish new standards. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) represents the United States in these
activities.
The metric system of 1875 provide a set of units for the measurement of length, area, volume, capacity, and mass.
Measurement of additional quantities required for science and commerce has necessitated development of additional
fundamental and derived units. Numerous other systems based on the meter and gram have been used. A unit of time
was added to produce the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, adopted in 1881 by the International Electrical
Congress. About the year 1900, practical measurements in metric units began to be based on the meter-kilogram-second
(MKS) system. In 1935, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) acted favorably on a proposal originally made
by Professor Giovanni Giorgi in 1901 and recommended that the MKS system of mechanics be linked with the
electromagnetic system of units by adoption of one of the units-ampere, coulomb, ohm, or volt-for a fourth base unit.
Subsequently the ampere, the unit of electric current, was selected as a base unit, thus defining the MKSA system.
th
The 10 CGPM in 1954 adopted a rationalized and coherent system of units based on the four MKSA units, plus the
Kelvin as the unit of temperature and the candela as the unit of luminous intensity. The 11th CGPM in 1960 formally gave it
the full title, International System of Units, for which the abbreviation is “SI” in all languages. Thirty-six countries, including
the United States, participated in this conference. The 12th CGPM in 1964 made some refinements, and the 13th CGPM in
1967 redefined the second, renamed the unit of temperature as the kelvin (K), and revised the definition of the candela.
The 14th CGPM in 1971 added a seventh base unit, the mole, and approved the pascal (Pa) as a special name for the SI
unit of pressure or stress, the newton per square meter, and the siemens (S) as a special name for the unit of electric
conductance, the recipocal ohm or the ampere per volt.
The 15th CGPM in 1975 added prefixes for 1018 and 1015, exa (E) and peta (P) respectively, and approved two special
names: the gray (Gy) as a special name for the SI unit of absorbed dose, the joule per kilogram; and the becquerel (Bq) as
a special name for the SI unit of activity of a radionuclide, one per second.
Because of the experimental difficulties in realizing a Planck radiator at high temperatures and the new possibilities offered
by radiometry, i.e., the measurement of optical radiation power, the 16th CGPM in 1979 adopted a new definition of the SI
base unit candela. It also adopted a special name sievert (Sv) for the SI unit of dose equivalent in the field of
radioprotection. In order to increase the precision of realization of the SI base unit meter, the definition based upon the
wavelength of a krypton-86 radiation was replaced by one based on the speed of light by the 17th CGPM in 1983. The 19th
CGPM in 1991 added the prefix zetta (Z) for 1021, zepto (z) for 10-21, yotta (Y) for 1024, and yocto (y) for 10-24.
When SI was established by the 11th CGPM in 1960, it had three classes of units; base units, derived units, and
supplementary units. The class of supplementary units contained two units: the radian (rad) for plane angle and the
steradian (sr) for solid angle (see Table 3). However, at the time of the introduction of the International System, the 11th
CGPM left open the question of the nature of these supplementary units. Considering that plane angle is generally
expressed as the ratio between two lengths and a solid angle as the ratio between an area and the square of a length, in
1980 the CIPM (the International Committee for Weights and Measures of the CGPM) specified that in the International
System the supplementary units radian and steradian are dimensionless derived units that may be used or omitted in
expressing the values of physical quantities. This implies that the quantities plane angle and solid angle are considered
dimensionless derived quantities.
Because of this interpretation, the 20th CGPM in 1995 eliminated supplementary units as a separate class in SI. Since
then, SI consists of only two classes of units: base units and derived units, with the radian and steradian classified as
derived units. The option of using them or not using them in expressions for other SI derived units, as is convenient, remain
unchanged,
The International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM)
The International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM, Bureau International des Poids et Mesures) has its
headquarter near Paris, in the grounds of the Pavillon de Breteuil (parc de Saint-Cloud), placed at its disposal by the
French Government; its upkeep is financed jointly by the member nations of the Convention du Mètre.
In October 1995, 48 nations were members of this Convention: Argentina (Republic of), Australia, Austria, Belgium,
Brazil, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Canada, Chile, China (People’s Republic of), Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic
Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea (Democratic People’s
Republic of), Korea (Republic of), Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Romania,
Russian Federation, Singapore, Slovak Republic, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, United
Kingdom, the United States of America, Uruguay, Venezuela.
The task of BIPM is to ensure worldwide unification of physical measurements; it is responsible for
• Establishing the fundamental standards and scales for measurement of the principal physical quantities and
maintaining the international prototypes;
• Carrying out comparisons of national and international standards;
• Ensuring the coordination of corresponding measuring techniques;
• Carrying out and coordinating the determinations relating to the fundamental physical constants that are involved in the
above-mentioned activities.
The BIPM operates under the exclusive supervision of the International Committee for Weight and Measures (CIPM,
Comité, International des Poids et Mesures), which itself comes under the authority of the General Conference on Weights
and Measures (CGPM, Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures).
The General Conference consists of delegates from all the member nations of the Convention du Mètre meets at present
every four years. At each meeting it receives the Report of the International Committee on the work accomplished, and it is
responsible for
• Discussing and instigating the arrangements required to ensure the propagation and improvement of the International
System of Units (SI, Système International d’Unités), which is the modern form of the metric system;
• Confirming the results of new fundamental metrological determinations and the various scientific resolutions of
international scope;
• Adopting the important decisions concerning the organization and development of the BIPM.

Definition of SI Base Units
Translation of the original French definitions of the seven base units of the International System are given in the following
item 1 through 7.
1. meter: The meter is the length of the path traveled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a
second. (Adopted by the 17th CGPM in 1983.)
2. kilogram: The kilogram is the unit of mass; it is equal to the mass of the international prototype of the kilogram.
(Adopted by the 1st and 3rd CGPMs in 1889 and 1901.)
3. second: The second is the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition
between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom. (Adopted by the 13th CGPM in 1967.)
4. ampere: The ampere is that constant current that, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length,
of negligible circular cross section, and placed one meter apart in vacuum, would produce between these
conductors a force equal to 2 x 10-7 newtons per meter of length. (Adopted by the 9th CGPM in 1948.)
5. kelvin: The kelvin, unit of thermodynamic temperature, is the fraction 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature
of the triple point of water. (Adopted by the 13th CGPM in 1967.) NOTE-It follows from this definition that the
temperature of the triple point of water is 273.16 K (0.01 oC). The freezing point of water at standard atmospheric
pressure is approximately 0.01 K below the triple point of water.
6. mole: The mole is the amount of substance of a system that contains as many elementary entries as there are
atoms in 0.012 kilogram of carbon-12. (Adopted by the 14th CGPM in 1971.) When the mole is used, the
elementary entries must be specified and may be atoms, molecules, ions, electrons, other particles, or specified
groups of such particles.
7. candela: The candela is the luminous intensity, in a given direction, of a source that emits monochromatic
radiation of frequency 540 x 1012 hertz and that has a radiant intensity in that direction of 1/683 watt per steradian.
(Adopted by the 16th CGPM in 1979.)
The metric system is covered in national standards as shown in Table 2-10.

Engineering Drawing Practice

SUMMARY
The following are some suggestions for rationalizing and reducing cost in the drawing practice area.
Metric. Prepare drawings with metric dimensions only.
Inch. Do not change existing inch-dimensioned drawings unless necessary. Show linear dimensions in inches and decimals on
inch drawings. Do not use feet and fractions.
Use of Symbols. The internationally recognized symbols shown in Fig. 3-1 are recommended used whenever practical.
Symbols need no translations and take minimal drawing space.
Computer Drafting. Computer drafting is recommended. A number of excellent CAE/CAD/CAM computer software are
available now, which will save time and reduce costly errors.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON ENGINEERING DRAWINGS
INTRODUCTION
The material presented in this chapter is intended to serve as a general guide in finding national and international standards on
the subject of Engineering Drawing. It is of great importance for multinational companies to use internationally recognized
drawing practices. Where a machine is initially designed and manufactured in one country, and at a future date must be
produced in another nation, the company will avoid substantial extra expense by producing the machine from the initial
drawings.
ISO PAPER SIZES (ISO 216)

The familiar letter-paper size, 8.5 x 11 in., used in the USA, still captures a large percentage of the world market. The ISO
paper size, A4, is principally used in Europe and in most of the emerging nations, and is estimated to represent an increasing
portion of the world usage of letter-size paper. Some of the considerations made before including the ISO paper sizes in ISO
216 were as follows.
In many countries, far more sizes of paper are used than are really necessary. Many of them came into existence under
conditions different from those prevailing today, while the origin of others was due to chance. Consequently, they do not fulfill the
present need for consistency between the sizes of paper and printed matter for various purposes, nor do they meet the many
requirements for a coherent relationship between the sizes of paper, printed or not, papermaking, printing and converting
machinery and equipment, and storage and filing equipment.
The purpose of the ISO standard is to improve the present position by providing a rationally designed ISO system of trimmed
sizes which can bring about a reduction in the number of sizes and create more rational, clear, and consistent ranges. This will
simplify and cheapen ordering, production, use, dispatch, and storage, and will also provide a sound basis for standardization in
related fields.

Preferred Numbers
SUMMARY
The preferred numbering system has played a major role in the development of metric standards. This is a geometrical series
of numbers adopted worldwide. Its first known application was in the 1870’s by Charles Renard, a French army captain who
reduced the different diameters of rope for military balloons from 425 to 17. The R5, R10 and R20 series refers to the Renard 5
(first-choice sizes 60 % increments), Renard 10 (second-choice sizes 25 % increments) and Renard 20 (third-choice sizes 12
% increments) series of preferred numbers standardized in ISO 3. Preferred sizes are shown in ANSI B4.2 and ISO 497.
You might want to extend the preferred metric size range, which, is shown from 4 to 40, simply by multiplying or dividing the
numbers shown in Table 4-1 by 10 or multiples of 10.
The preferred metric sizes are used for nominal sizes in countries where the metric system has been in use for several years.
Here is how the preferred metric nominal sizes were developed and how these chosen sizes reflect preferred metric standard
sizes for threaded fasteners, steel plates, sheets, bars, etc already in use throughout the world.
How do the preferred metric sizes relate to the inch sizes and the preferred numbers are shown in Table 4-1.

Surface Texture
SUMMARY
The internationally adopted system of measuring surface texture is to use the roughness average parameter designated Ra
(Table 5-1).
TABLE 5-1 ROUGHNESS NUMBERS (ISO 1302)

Nominal micrometers: 50 25 12.5 6.3 3.2 1.6 0.8 0.4 0.2 0.1 0.05 0.025
value of Ra microinches: 2000 1000 500 250 125 63 32 16 8 4 2 1
ISO Roughness number: N12 N11 N10 N9 N8 N7 N6 N5 N4 N3 N2 N1
In order to choose the optimum roughness average level, consider tolerance required as shown in Chapter 6 and Table 5-3.
Cost or machining time increases with finer surfaces as shown in Fig. 5-3.
SURFACE TEXTURE VS. PRODUCTION COSTS

A typical relationship of surface texture and production time (cost) is shown in Fig. 5-3. The chart, Fig. 5-3, shows a series of
curves displaying production time in relation to Ra values for the range of common machining processes, and is based on
research carried out on machine tools from 1 to 10 years old. The chart, however, is not intended to be used for making
comparisons between different processes.
Results obtained from common production processes in terms of Ra values (micrometers) are shown in Table 5-4.
SYMBOLS USED FOR INDICATION OF SURFACE TEXTURE

The basic surface texture symbol, as in Fig. 5-1A, consists of two legs of unequal length inclined at approximately 60 deg. to
the line representing the considered surface. Machining of the surface is optional. A horizontal bar, as in Fig. 5-1B, indicates that
removal of material by machining is required. A circle, as in Fig. 5-1C, indicates that removal of material by machining is not
permitted, and Fig. 5-1D indicates the position of the surface-texture specifications (listed below) in the symbol.
a = roughness value Ra (CLA) or in grade numbers N1 through N12 (see Table 5-1). Maximum (a1) and minimum (a2)
surface roughness limits (if required) are shown here.
b = production method, treatment or coating
c = sampling length (see Table 5-7)
d = direction of lay (see Table 5-8)
e = machining allowance
f = other roughness values (in brackets, as in Fig. 5-1D).
FIG. 5-1 SURFACE TEXTURE SYMBOLS (ISO 1302)

A. Machining of surface is optional; C. Machining of surface is not permitted; and
B. Machining of surface is required; D. Position of specifications in the symbol (ISO 1302).
NOTE: The symbols in “D” deviate slightly from the ANSI B46.1 standard.
Use of the N Series of Roughness Numbers1

Instead of the micrometer values, roughness numbers, N1 to N12, maybe quoted on drawings. The use of the “N” series of
roughness numbers is recommended to avoid possible misinterpretation on drawings that are apt to be internationally
exchanged.
1
The roughness numbers in the N Series are not recognized by ANSI B46.

The ISO System of Limits and Fits -

Tolerances and Deviations
SUMMARY*
The ISO System of Limits and Fits is a coordinated system of hole and shaft tolerances for engineering and manufacturing
used for cutting tools, material stock, gages, etc. If held to these tolerances, cutting tools, material stock, and gages are
generally available throughout the world.
The hole basis fits have four preferred hole tolerances (H11, H9, H8, and H7); the shaft basis fits have four preferred shaft
tolerances (h11, h9, h7, and h6) as shown in Table 6-1. The above shaft tolerances are now covered in the new ANSI B32.100-
2005 standard.
Select the basic size from Table 4-1 and one of the ten fits from Table 6-1 and read or cut and paste limit dimensions and
clearances (interferences) from Tables 6-2 through 6-6 or CD. Now also available on-line at the site shown below.
Tolerance Zones for holes are shown in Fig. 6-1 and for shafts in Fig. 6-2.
NOTE *Complete ISO System of Limits and Fits is now stored a CD KOK ISOTOLTM Computer Tolerancing Software. The CD is
now available from ANSI, GO metricUSATM.org, Inc. or on the sites:www.GOmetricUSA.org or www.kok.com/order.htm.

INTRODUCTION
The ISO System of Limits and Fits (referred to as the ISO system) is covered in national standards throughout the world, as
shown by the following list:
Global ISO 286

USA ANSI B4.2
Japan JIS B0401
Germany DIN 7160//61
France NF E 02-100-122
UK BSI 4500
Italy UNI 6388
Australia AS 1654
HISTORY OF THE ISO SYSTEM

The present ISO system is based on the ISA System of Limits and Fits published in ISA Bulletin 25 (1940), and on comments
included in the Draft Final Report of ISA Committee 3, December 1935. The unification of the various national systems of limits
and fits was one of the essential tasks discussed at the initial conference of the ISA in New York, in April, 1926. The same year
the Secretariat of ISA Committee 3, Limits and Fits, was entrusted to the Germany Standardizing Association, and needless to
say, the system was all metric from the start.
USAGE
The ISO System of Limits and Fits is now in extensive use in Europe.
An increasing number of drawings issued throughout the world specify the tolerances with the ISO symbols only. The ISO
system for tolerances and gages is fully covered in ANSI B4.2 and B4.4M.
Cutting tools, material stock, and gages held to ISO tolerances are available in many major industrial countries. It is
recommended that a similar specification in USA standards be provided if the worldwide manufacture of products is a defined
goal.
BASES
Temperature. The standard reference temperature for industrial length measurement is 200C (680F).

The most important terms relating to limits and fits are as shown in Fig. 6-3. The terms are defined below.
basic size — the size to which limits or deviations are assigned. The basic size is the same for both members of a fit. It is
designated by the number 40 in 40H7.
deviation — the algebraic difference between a size and the corresponding basic size
upper deviation — the algebraical difference between the maximum limit of size and the corresponding basic size
lower deviation — the algebraic difference between the minimum limit of size and the corresponding basic size
fundamental deviation — the one of the two deviations closest to the basic size. It is designated by the letter H in 40H7
tolerance — the difference between the maximum and minimum size limits on a part
tolerance zone — a zone representing the tolerance and its position in relation to the basic size
international tolerance grade (IT) — a group of tolerances which vary depending on the basic size, but which provide the same
relative level of accuracy within a given grade. It is designated by the number 7 in 40H7 (IT7).
hole basis — the system of fits where the minimum hole size is basic. The fundamental deviation for a hole basis system is “H”.
shaft basis — the system of fits where the maximum shaft size is basic. The fundamental deviation for a shaft basis system is
“h”.
clearance fit — the relationship between assembled parts when clearance occurs under all tolerance conditions
interference fit — the relationship between assembled parts when interference occurs under all tolerance conditions
transition — the relationship between assembled parts when either a clearance or interference fit can result depending on the
tolerance conditions of the mating parts
DESCRIPTION OF TOLERANCE DESIGNATION

An “International Tolerance grade” establishes the magnitude of the tolerance zone or the amount of part size variation
allowed for internal and external dimensions alike (see Fig. 6-3). Tolerances are expressed in “grade number,” which are
consistent with International Tolerance grades identified by the prefix IT, i.e., “IT6,” “IT11,” etc. A smaller grade number provides
a smaller tolerance zone.
A fundamental deviation establishes the position of the tolerance zone with respect to the basic size (see Fig. 6-3).
Fundamental deviations are expressed by “tolerance position letters.” Capital letters are used for internal dimensions, and lower
case or small letters are used for external dimensions.
Symbols
By combining the IT grade number and the tolerance position letter, the tolerance symbol is established which identifies the
actual maximum and minimum limits of the part. The toleranced sizes are thus defined by the basic size of the part followed by a
symbol composed of a letter and a number.
A fit is indicated by the basic size common to both components, followed by a symbol corresponding to each component, the
internal part symbol preceding the external part symbol.
Some methods of designating tolerances on drawings gages, etc. are shown in the following three examples.
(a) 40H8 (b) 40H8(40.039/40.000) (c) 40.039/40.000(40H8)
NOTE: Values in parentheses indicate reference only.
BILATERAL TOLERANCE SYSTEM

The ISO system of limits and fits has a full range of bilateral (two-sided) tolerances designated js and JS. The two symmetrical
deviations are ± IT/2 (one half of the International Tolerances grade).
UNILATERAL TOLERANCE SYSTEM

The ISO system of limits and fits, with all its possible combinations, includes two unilateral (one-sided) tolerancing methods
that are in common use. One tolerancing practice is based on a nominal hole (H, hole basis), the other on a nominal shaft (h,
shaft basis). The ISO system has been in use in Germany for over 60 years, and standards for selected fits have influenced the
European market for metric standard material sizes, measuring tools, couplings, collars, bearings, etc.
HOLE-BASIS OR SHAFT-BASIS FITS

The nominal H, hole-basis fit and h, shaft-basis fit tolerancing systems are both used, depending on each specific application.
The hole-basis system is used with stepped shaft designs. Standard gages for checking the hole-basis fits cost less than those
required for checking shaft-basis fits. In designs where a uniform-diameter shaft is used it is advantageous to employ the shaft-
basis system. For example, in the case of driving shafts, a single shaft may have to accommodate a variety of accessories —
such as couplings, bearings, collars, etc. Steel products toleranced to the shaft-basis system are supplied in a number of steel
grades and finishes throughout Europe. Both types of fits might be used on the same design.
PREFERRED FITS
ANSI B4.2 specifies the ten hole and shaft basis fits as shown in Table 6-1 and as illustrated in Fig. 6-4. Each of the ten hole
basis fits corresponds to a shaft basis fit with equal clearances for the same nominal size.
FIG. 6-4 PREFERRED HOLE BASIS FITS (ANSI B4.2)
The ten hole-basis preferred fits use the following tolerances:
Hole: H7, H8, H9, H11

Shaft: c11, d9, f7, g6, h6, k6, n6, p6, s6, u6
It might be desirable for a user to standardize on three, or even two, of the above hole tolerances. The shaft tolerances might
also be reduced to fit the requirements of certain types of products.
The ten shaft-basis preferred fits use the following tolerances:
Hole: C11, D9, F8, G7, H7, K7, N7, P7, S7, U7
Shaft: h6, h7, h9, h11
Note that many steel products shown in Chapter 10 are produced worldwide to the shaft tolerances shown above. The new
ANSI B32.100 standard specifies the above four shaft tolerances. An illustration of the ten shaft fits is shown in Fig. 6-5.
FIG. 6-5 PREFERRED SHAFT BASIS FITS (ANSI B4.2)
PRACTICAL USE OF IT GRADES
The machining process shown in Fig. 6-6 can, under normal conditions, produce the IT grades indicated. Practical usage of
the various IT tolerance grades is shown in Fig. 6-7. Numerical values for IT grades from IT1 through IT18 for basic series up to
3150 mm are shown in Table 6-30.

FIG. 6-7 PRACTICAL USE OF INTERNATIONAL TOLERANCE GRADES (ANSI B4.2)
NON-TOLERANCED DIMENSIONS
The ISO system of limits and fits can be used on a great number of applications from the finest tolerances to the coarsest. The
tolerances are increasing with the nominal size in the ISO system. It is common practice in those countries that have used the
ISO system to apply a somewhat related system
to the non-toleranced dimensions on a drawing. It is now part of ISO 2768-1. The tolerances are dependent on the nominal sizes
and are shown in the following table.

Chapter 7
The ISO System of Limits and Fits -
Inspection of Workpieces
SUMMARY*
This chapter specifies gages to ISO 1938 Part 1: Plain limit gages of linear size for use with the ISO System of Limits and Fits
in ANSI B4.2. The new standard used to be the old Recommendation published in 1971, and GO, NOGO gages made to this
standard are available for preferred sizes throughout Europe. This new standard is based on the old recommendation and was
finalized in 2012 by TC 213/WG6 hosted by NIST. The standard specifies specific location and limits for the gagemakers
tolerances, wear allowances, measurement uncertainties and form controls. This chapter specifies the most important
metrological and design characteristics of plain limit gages of linear size and defines the different types of plain limit gages used
to prove conformance with linear dimensional specification associated to linear size. It also defines the design characteristics
and the metrological characteristics for these limit gages as well as the new or wear limits state Maximum Permissible Errors
(MPEs) for these characteristics. The ISO 1938-1 standard also describes the use of limit gages and it covers linear sizes up to
500 mm.
It is recommended to specify preferred metric sizes and tolerance zones as shown in Chapter 6 in order to minimize the cost of
tooling and gages. By doing so, a matrix of standard plug and ring (snap) GO and NOGO gages may become off-the-shelf
available inspection tooling similar to what we see in countries having used the ISO Limits and Fits for more than 70 years.
Chapter 8
Screw Threads
SUMMARY
The change to the metric system in screw threads gives us a unique opportunity to rationalize the screw thread and fastener
sizes. For example, the six first choice thread sizes shown in Table 8-1 are recommended to replace the 61 other thread
sizes listed. The first choice sizes are according to the R5’ series of preferred sizes shown in Table 4-1. Less savings will be
achieved if you select the twelve ISO (green) first choice sizes shown or the 14 ANSI (bold) first choice sizes. The cost reduction
becomes substantial when you figure thousands of dollars savings for each unique fastener size that can be eliminated from the
product design.

NOTES:
1. The Metric Coarse Thread designation shown in this table is according to ISO. ANSI standards may specify the thread pitch for both coarse and fine thread
pitches.
2. ANSI B1.13M shows the ISO preference rating.
3. Not recommended to be used in the USA.
The metric coarse thread pitch is slightly smaller (finer) compared to the customary unified coarse thread pitch. For example;
the metric coarse thread M8 has the thread pitch 1.25 mm and the inch thread 5/16-18 has the thread pitch 1.41 mm.
Chapter 9
Fasteners
SUMMARY
Rationalization — The change to the metric system opens up a tremendous opportunity for USA industry to rationalize on
fewer metric fastener sizes used in new products. For preferred metric thread sizes, see Table 8-1 and Table 9-1 for fastener
length. Apply the preferred metric sizes shown in Table 4-1 to the fastener length to the extent practical. (Except for the
length 250 mm where either 240 or 260 mm should be specified.) Rationalization on fewer standard parts released for
production could save your company large sums of money. Each unique standard part creates additional cost in
documentation, spare parts, handling, purchasing, quality assurance, inventory, etc., and for many large companies the
cost runs into several thousand dollars and more.
INTRODUCTION
The national standards1 for fasteners are shown in a World Metric Fastener Standards Index, which follows, and the
comparison of standards on metric screw threads around the world can be found in Table 8-2. A comprehensive description
of the existing ISO fasteners will be given later in this chapter.
The following index provides an illustration of each type of fastener with its name in English (E), German (G), French (F),
and Italian (I). The applicable national standard number is shown with references as to where to find specific information.

For information about the term “standard” as used in this book, please see p. 12.
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR FASTENERS
HOW TO ORDER METRIC HARDWARE

An Order Check List. The proper designation of metric bolts, screws, and nuts should include the following information:
1. General product description such as: bolts, hex cap screws, tapping screws, machine screws, nuts,
slotted nuts, rivets, etc., and material if other than steel. Refer to the world index for the fastener
name in the required language.
2. The letter M is used for a product with ISO metric screw threads followed by the thread pitch. The
designations are as follows:
ANSI: M10 X 1.5 10 mm nominal diameter ISO metric screw thread with standard 1.5 mm coarse
thread pitch.
ISO: M10 10 mm nominal diameter ISO metric screw thread with standard 1.5 mm coarse thread pitch.
M10 X 1.25 10 mm nominal diameter ISO metric screw thread with standard 1.25 mm fine thread
pitch.
3. Thread fit designation. Refer to Chapter 8, p. 141 for thread fit details.
ANSI: M12 X 1.75 - Designates standard thread fit 6H/6g approximately equal to SAE class 2 fit.
6H/6g
M12 x 1.75 - Designates close thread fit — 6H/4g6g approximately equal to SAE class 3 fit.
6H/4g6g
The medium thread fit is customary in most countries, and need not be specified when ordering
fasteners to a specific standard.
4. The length designation is shown in millimeters. Refer to Table 9-1 for the preferred fastener lengths.
5. The standard thread length conforms to ISO recommendations worldwide, and no special call-out for
thread length is required (Table 9-3).
6. National standards reference. The threaded fasteners details are defined in industry or national the
standards, and a reference to the desired standards must be made when ordering fasteners outside
of USA.
7. The strength grade which applies to steel products only, must be specified. See p. 187 for details on
strength properties.
8. The surface protection (if required) should be in accordance with company practice or other standards.

Steel Material Data1
SUMMARY
Rationalization - The change to metric steel sizes opens up a tremendous opportunity for USA industry to rationalize on fewer
steel sheet, plate, wire, bar, tube and section sizes. Some companies have shown remarkably good results when rationalizing,
steel plates, for example, from 19 inch sizes to 8 metric sizes. Again, the use of the preferred metric sizes shown in Table 4-1 is
the key tool to use.
The preference ratings - F for first choice, S for second choice, and T for third choice - are used in the referenced standards to
promote usage of fewer sizes. Little rationalization of sizes is achieved in a company if one freely selects from all first-choice
sizes listed in the steel tables.

INTRODUCTION
The American National Standards Institute issued American National Standard ANSI B32.100 Preferred Metric Sizes for Flat,
Round, Square, Rectangular, and Hexagonal Metric Products. References to the following proposed and approved standards,
which are in complete agreement with the applicable ISO standards, are also included.
ANSI B32.200 Preferred Metric Sizes for Round, Square, and Rectangular Tubular Metal Products Other Than Pipe, and the
ANSI B32.300 Preferred Metric Sizes for Equal and Unequal Leg Angles, T- and Channel-Sections, IPN- and Wide Flange-
Beams Structural Steel.
Major steel-producing countries, such as Japan, Germany, France, and Italy, have produced steel material dimensioned to
metric modules for a number of years. The national standards2 for steel sizes reflect the available commercial sizes in the above
countries. The European countries just listed have developed coordinated EURONORM steel standards issued by the European
Coal and Steel Community. Since 1955, approximately 100 EURONORM standards have been published in German, French,
Italian, and Dutch. These standards are available from Beuth Verlag GmbH, Burggrafenstrasse 6 D-1000 Berlin 30, Germany. A
number of these EURONORM standards have now been modified and published as new ISO or EN standards.

For information about the term “standard” as used in this book, please see p.12.
description of tables — The steel material dimension tables list standard metric sizes produced in major countries already using
the metric system. The ISO and ANSI standards are also shown.
Linear dimensions, section areas, and mass per length or area are shown in SI units.
The left column in the tables marked ISO, ANSI, or DIN indicates the preference rating in the standard from which the metric
sizes are chosen. On the right side of the tables, national standards for the applicable products are listed with their specified
preference rating.
The tolerances in the tables are given in millimeters, and they are either ISO, EURONORM, or national standard tolerances
selected from the ISO system of limits and fits. Steel materials produced to the latter tolerances are standard in all major
countries including USA (ANSI B32.100).
All conversions and calculations are processed by a computer with the data shown rounded off to the nearest number in each
case. The computer exponential E-format was selected to cover a wide range of steel sizes and at the same time to present an
accuracy to three significant digits for all numbers shown. The maximum error range is from 0.5 to 0.05%.
Some typical examples of the use of E-format are as follows:
Computer Listing Decimal Value

-1
0.427E - 01 = 0.427 x 10 = 0.0427
0.628E + 00 = 0.628 x 100 = 0.628
0.243E + 01 = 0.243x 101 = 2.43
0.962E + 03 = 0.962 x 103 = 962
The standard density for steel used in ISO and national standards outside Canada and the USA is 1 m3 steel, which has a
7850 kg mass. The standard density factor for steel in the USA is 0.2833 lb/in3, and it differs from the ISO standard by
approximately 0.1%. The mass per unit shown in the steel material tables is calculated using the ISO density factor. The
conversion factor 2.767990E + 04 was used to compute the pound per cubic inch equivalent. One cubic meter steel has 7842 kg
mass using the USA density factor and 7850 kg mass with the ISO factor.
WORLD SHEET METAL STANDARDS
Thicknesses. The following discussion is intended to assist the designer in his or her choice of metric sheet metal sizes and
qualities anywhere in the world. Standard thicknesses for hot-rolled steel sheets are shown in Table 10-1A and for cold-reduced
sheets in Table 10-2A.
ANSI B32.100 is a recently released standard drafted by the author, and it is recommended the first choices shown in the USA
column be chosen if possible. Use the Preferred Sizes in Table 4-1 p. 75 when selecting among all the third choices shown in
the material tables. Most of the above thicknesses are available worldwide.
Material. A worldwide comparison of the designations used for hot-rolled and cold-rolled steels is shown in Tables 10-42A and
B. The ISO, EURONORM, and national standards for each product are also given for easy reference to further details.
Make the material selection from Table 10-42A for hot-rolled and Table 10-42B for cold-rolled steel sheets. Note the ISO
standard number where the desired steel grade is specified, and use it to find the appropriate ISO tolerance for the product.
When steel is specified to other national standards, specify tolerances and steel grades as shown in that standard.
Tolerances. The tolerances for sheet metal are specified in a number of ISO standards and shown in Tables 10-1B through
1H for hot-rolled and in Tables 10-2B through 2E for cold-rolled material. The specific ISO standard number where the
tolerances are specified are shown with the table title in parenthesis.
Coatings. Select the desired ISO coating grade from the Tables 10-42E through 10-42K or the national standard used to
specify the steel sheet product.
Order Example. For hot-rolled steel sheets the desired thickness is selected from Table 10-1A, ISO standard number and
qualities from Table 10-42A, tolerances from Table 10-1B through 10-1H, and coating from Table 10-42E through 10-42K. A
typical example of designation of steel sheet 2 mm thick X 1200 mm wide X 2440 mm long to steel grade HR235, class D (D =
CS Special Killed) and tolerance ± 0.17 mm, as specified in ISO 4995, is as follows: “International Standard 4995, hot-rolled
steel sheet, structural quality, grade HR235 class D, 2 x 1200 X 2440 mm, 40000 kg, for part No. 2345, roof support, mill edge,
furnish report of mechanical properties, maximum lift 4000 kg.”
For cold-rolled steel sheets, the desired thickness is selected from Table 10-2A, ISO standard number and material qualities
from Table 10-42B, tolerances from Table 10-2B through 2E, and coating from Table 10-42E through 42K. A typical example of
designation of cold-rolled steel sheet 1 mm thick X 700 mm wide and 1800 mm long to the steel grade CR220 class B (rimmed
or nonrimmed) and tolerance ± 0.09 mm, as specified in the ISO standard, is as follows: “International Standard 4997, cold-
rolled steel sheet, structural quality, grade CR220 class B, 1 X 700 X 1800 mm, 40 000 kg, for part No. 3456, seat frame —
unexposed, furnish report of mechanical properties, maximum lift 4000 kg.”
WORLD STEEL PLATE STANDARDS

Thicknesses. The standard steel plate thicknesses in most of the major steel-producing countries are shown in Table 10-3A.
Although some differences exist in the various material standards, the first-choice sizes in the ANSI B32.100 standard should be
available worldwide. You will note the few thicknesses considered first choice in the German DIN 1543 standard.

Nonferrous Material
SUMMARY
Only copper and aluminum products are covered in this chapter. Major industrial countries, such as Japan, Germany, France,
and Italy, have produced nonferrous material dimensioned to metric modules for a number of years, and the material standards1
for nonferrous sizes reflect the available commercial sizes in these countries.
The American National Standards Institute issued American National Standards B32.100-2005 for preferred metric sizes for
flat, round, square, rectangular, and hexagonal metal products. The preferred metric sizes were the result of the informational
input of representatives from industries and professional societies, as well as the experience of other countries where the metric
system has been in use.
DESCRIPTION OF TABLES
The nonferrous material dimension tables given in this chapter list standard metric sizes produced in major countries using the
metric system. Linear dimensions, section areas, and mass per length of area are shown both in SI units and in customary inch
units in the left-hand portions of each table. The left-most columns in the tables, which are headed in vertical fashion by ISO,
ANSI, DIN, or BS, indicates the preference rating in the appropriate standard from which the metric sizes are chosen. In the
right-hand portions of the tables, national standards for the applicable products are listed with their specified preference ratings.
Tolerances shown in the right-hand portions of the tables are in millimeters, and are listed by column under a heading noting
the original standard. Most of the tolerances are specified within the ISO system of limits and fits which is covered in national
product standards throughout the world.
All conversions and calculations were processed by a computer, and the data shown are rounded off to the nearest number in
each case. The computer exponential “E” format (see Table 2-2) was selected in order to cover a wide range of sizes and at the
same time present a three-significant-digit accuracy for all numbers shown. The maximum error range is from 0.5% to 0.05%.
The standard density for copper used is 8900 kg mass per cubic meter, and for aluminum, 2700 kg mass per cubic meter. The
density is not constant, and varies with added alloying materials.

Bearings
SUMMARY
Roller bearings have been subject to extensive world standardization efforts. Ball and cylindrical roller bearings are the most
prevalent bearing types in countries using the metric system. The secretariat for the Technical Committee ISO/TC4 Rolling
Bearings is held by Sweden. Its first recommendation, R15 for radial bearings boundary dimensions, was issued in 1955, and
the second edition of this important standard1 received worldwide approval in 1968. The largest ball and cylindrical roller bearing
manufacturing companies in the world have adhered to the ISO recommendation, so that today a number of bearing types,
produced by different manufacturing companies, can be interchanged.
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI), representing the USA position on an international level, and the American
Bearing Manufacturers Association, Inc. (ABMA), are responsible for rolling element bearing standardization in the USA These
standards are published as ANSI/ABMA standards and are available from either of the above organizations.
ANSI/ABMA 20 describes metric design radial ball, cylindrical roller, and spherical roller bearings conforming to the basic
boundary plans, which contain radial bearing parameters from the following international standards:
• ISO 15 (boundary dimensions)

• ISO 464 (snap rings and grooves)
• ISO 492 (tolerances)
• ISO 582 (chamfer dimensions)
• ISO 5753 (radial clearances)
Thrust bearings of ball cylindrical roller, and spherical roller types are specified in ANSI/ABMA 24.1, which covers thrust
bearing parameters from the following international standards:
• ISO 104 (boundary dimensions)

• ISO 199 (thrust ball bearing tolerances)
• ISO 582 (for chamfer dimensions)
A commitment to the customary inch measuring system has caused slow progress in the world standardization of such bearing
types as needle and tapered roller bearings.
The secretariat for ISO/TC123 - Plain Bearings is held by Russia, where several standards have been issued on the subject,
as shown on p. 539. self-aligning bushings would fall in the category of TC 123. However, the Russians have no interest in this
matter. Self-aligning bushings will be covered by TC4/SC7. Subcommittee 7 is handled by Germany.
Self-aligning bushings are now covered in the three-part standard ISO 6124, as shown on p. 542.

Mechanical Power Transmission Systems

SUMMARY
The purpose of this section is to describe world standards1 for the most commonly used power source in industry — the
electric motor — and some of the important power transmission components, such as transmission chains and sprockets,
endless belt drives, metric module gearing, splines and serrations, and keys and keyways. Some standards for these items have
been based on the metric measuring system, and the others on the customary inch system. The main differences will be pointed
out in this chapter to facilitate worldwide interchangeability of parts. A number of ISO and IEC standards have been issued on
the subject, and some of the most important standards, as well as the ISO technical committee organizing the technical work
behind each standard, are listed at the end of the chapter. Note that the technical committees are designated by the letters TC,
followed by the appropriate committee number.
Information presented in ISO and IEC standards and draft proposals have been included, but since they are subject to change,
care should be exercised with some of the material presented.

ELECTRIC MOTORS
INTRODUCTION
The material presented in this chapter is intended to give a brief introduction into standards related to the usage of electric
motors; IEC has published several important standards on this subject and is active in developing standards for rotating
electrical machines through its IEC/TC2 working groups and committees.
ROTATING SPEEDS
North America uses alternating electrical current with 60 Hz frequency, but most of the world uses 50 Hz power supply.
The synchronous rotating speed for induction motors is calculated by using the following formula:
F • 120 (rpm) frequency • 120 (rpm)

n = --------------- --------------------------- (13-1)
p number of poles
Electric motors (other than dc) rotate with speeds depending on the frequency of the power supply, and the most commonly
used output speeds produced for industry are shown in Table 13-1.
POWER OUTPUT RATINGS

The nominal power outputs in kilowatts (kW) are specified in IEC 72-1 and shown in Table 13-2 for output ratings from 0.06 to
250 kW.
Preferred output powers for larger electric motors in a size range from 280 to 1000 kW are specified in IEC 72-1.

Fluid Power Systems and Components
SUMMARY
Fluid power systems are those that transmit and control power through the use of a pressurized fluid (liquid or gas) within an
enclosed circuit. Fluid power includes the technologies of hydraulics, pneumatics, and fluid logic. The world standards1
presented in this chapter deal, for the most part, with hydraulic fluid power systems and components.
The National Fluid Power Association (NFPA) (see Table 1-1) administers the secretariat of the ISO TC 131 on fluid power,
and a number of standards have been approved and published.
The ISO standards presented in this chapter conform, with some exceptions, to the national standards and industry practices
in all major industrial countries.

For information about the term “standard” as used in this book, please see p. 12.
NOMINAL PRESSURES
The recommended SI units for hydraulic pressure is the pascal (1 Pa = 1 N/mm2). The bar was widely used throughout Europe
and 1 MPa equals 10 bar and 1 kPa equals 10 mbar (millibar). To bring practical units for volumetric flow in line with theoretical
calculations, the cubic meter per second (m3/s) or liter per second (L/s) is recommended for use instead of the cubic meter and
liter per minute (simplifications of power calculations).
ISO 2944 recommended pressures for fluid power are shown in Table 14-1.

SUMMARY
The introduction of metric drill sizes to manufacturing creates an opportunity to rationalize the number of drills used. Table
15-1 shows some preferred metric drill sizes, together with the customary inch fraction, number, and letter sizes. The table
shows all sizes in decimal millimeter or inch, and it makes it convenient to phase out non-preferred inch sizes.

Quality Management and Environmental Management Systems (ISO 9000

and ISO 14000)
SUMMARY
ISO 9000 and ISO 14000
The ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 families are among ISO's most widely known and successful standards ever. ISO 9000 Quality Management
System (QMS) has become an international reference for quality requirements in business to business dealings, and ISO 14000
Environmental Management System (EMS) looks set to achieve at least as much, if not more, in helping organizations to meet their
environmental challenges.
The ISO 9000:2000 QMS is replacing the 1994 standards as follows;
ISO 9000:2000, entitled Fundamentals and Vocabulary, describes the fundamentals of a QMS and specifies the terminology for a
QMS. It was developed on the basis of previous standards: ISO 8402:1994, Vocabulary, and lS0 9000-1:1994, Selection and Use.
ISO 9001:2000 Quality management systems - Requirements specifies requirements for a QMS where an organization needs to
demonstrate its ability to provide products that meet customer requirements and applicable regulatory requirements and aims to
enhance customer satisfaction. The three quality assurance requirement standards ISO 9001:1994, ISO 9002:1994, and ISO
9003:1994 are replaced by a single quality management system requirement standard, ISO 9001:2000 Quality management systems
- Requirements.
ISO 9004:2000 Quality management systems - Guidelines for performance improvements, QMS, Guidelines for performance
improvement, which replaces ISO 9004-1:1994, provides guidelines for both the effectiveness and efficiency of the QMS. The aim of
this standard is the improvement of the performance of an organization and the satisfaction of customers and other interested parties.
ISO 9004:2000 Quality management systems - Guidelines for performance improvements, although considerably rewritten, was
developed using the format and structure of ISO 9001:2000 Quality management systems - Requirements.
ISO 9000 is concerned with "quality management". This means what the organization does to enhance customer satisfaction by meeting
customer and applicable regulatory requirements and continually to improve its performance in this regard. ISO 14000 is primarily concerned
with "environmental management". This means what the organization does to minimize harmful effects on the environment caused by its
activities, and continually to improve its environmental performance.
Worldwide equivalents of the ISO 9000:2000 series standards are shown in Table 16-1A for the eight major industrial countries and in Table
16-1B for 79 countries to the ISO 9000:2000 series standards.
The ISO 14000 EMS includes standards as follows;
ISO launched the new technical committee, ISO/TC 207, Environmental management, in 1993.

4. ISO 10012: 2003 Measurement management systems — Requirements for measurement processes and measurement equipment. This standard replaces the former
standards ISO 10012-1 and ISO 10012-2.
5. ISO 19011: 2011 Guidelines for quality and/or environmental management systems auditing. Replaces ISO 10011-1,-2, -3, ISO 14010, ISO 14011, and ISO 14012.
6. The European Union (EU) publish standards identified by the prefix EN.
7. COPANT = Pan American Standards Commission.
8. The countries listed in Table 16-1B adopted the ISO 9000:1987 series standards. Now there are more than twice as many countries adopting the ISO 9000 series
standards.

NOTES:
1.Since 1893 the USA basis for length measurement has been derived from metric standards. In 1959 a small refinement was
made in the definition of the yard to resolve discrepancies both in this country and abroad, which changed its length from
3600/3937 m to 0.9144 m exactly. The result in the new value being shorter by two parts in a million.
At the same time it was decided that any data in feet derived from and published as a result of geodetic surveys within the USA
would remain with the old standard (1 ft = 1200/3937 m) until further decision. This foot is named the USA survey foot.
As a result the USA land measurements in USA customary units will relate to the meter by the old standard. All the conversion
factors in this table for units referenced to this footnote are based on the USA survey foot, rather than the international foot.
Conversion factors for the land measures given below may be determined from the following relationships:
1 league = 3 miles (exactly)
1 rod = 16½ feet (exactly)
1 section = 1 square mile (exactly)
1 township = 36 square miles (exactly)
2. This value conflicts with the value printed in NBS 330. The value requires updating in NBS 330.
3. No conversion factor is given for board foot because the board foot is not a well-defined unit of volume. Calculation of the
number of board feet in a piece of lumber is based on the nominal dimension of the cross section.
4.The British thermal unit used in these tables is the International Table Btu. The Fifth International Conference on the
Properties of Steam (London, July 1956) defined the calorie (International Table) as 4.1868 J. Therefore the exact conversion
factor for the Btu (International Table) is 1.055 055 852 62 kJ. Other conversion factors for the Btu include the following:
British thermal unit (mean) 1055.87 J
British thermal unit (thermochemical) 1054.350 J
o
British thermal unit (39 F) 1059.67 J
British thermal unit (59 oF) 1054.80 J
British thermal unit (60 oF) 1054.68 J
The calorie used in these tables is the thermochemical calorie, defined as 4.184 J exactly, which has
been widely used in scientific work. Other calories that have been seen practical application include
the following:
calorie (International Table) 4.186 8 J (by definition)
calorie (mean) 4.190 02 J
calorie (15 oC) 4.185 80 J
calorie (20 oC) 4.181 90 J
The International Table calorie has been frequently used in European engineering work. Various
kilocalories have often been used, sometimes being called “kilogram-calories.” The so-called “calorie”
(or Calorie) used in the field of nutrition is in fact a kilocalorie.
5.Agricultural are sold by the bushel in the USA. The mass per unit volume of such products varies considerably owing to
differences in variety, size, or condition of the commodity, tightness of pack, degree in which the container is heaped, etc. The
following conversion factors for one bushel are used by the USA Department of Agriculture for statistical purposes:
barley 21.8 kg
corn, shelled 25.4 kg
oats 14.5 kg
potatoes 27.2 kg
soybeans 27.2 kg
wheat 27.2 kg
6.This is sometimes called the moment of inertia of a plain section about a specified axis.
7.The exact conversion factor is 1.638 706 4 E-05.
8.In 1964 the General Conference on Weight and Measures adopted the name liter for the cubic decimeter. Prior to this
3
decision the liter differed slightly (previous value, 1.000 028 dm ) and in expression of precision volume measurement this fact
must be kept in mind.
9.The exact conversion factor is 4.535 923 7 E-01.
10.The exact conversion factor is 4.448 221 615 260 5 E+00.

Conversion and Rounding Guide
Definitions
A clear understanding of the terms used in this design standard will help ensure reliable conversion and rounding practices.
These terms and definitions are as follows:
1. accuracy: The degree of conformity of a measured or calculated value to some referenced value, which may be specified
or unknown. This concept includes the systematic error of an operation, which is seldom negligible or known exactly. See
precision.
2. deviation: The algebraic difference between a size and the corresponding basic (nominal) size.
3. digit: One of the ten numerals (0 to 9) in the decimal number system.
4. dimension: A geometric element in a design, such as length or angle, or the magnitude of such a quantity.
5. feature: The general term applied to a physical portion of a part, such as a surface, pin, tab, hole, or slot.
6. figure (numerical): An arithmetic value expressed by one or more digits.
7. inch-pound (inch, customary, or imperial) units: Units based on the yard and the pound commonly used in NA and
defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Note that units having the same names in other countries
may differ in magnitude.
8. nominal value (basic size): A value assigned for designation. The size to which limits or deviations are assigned.
9. precision: The degree of mutual agreement between individual measurements, namely their repeatability and
reproducibility. See accuracy.
10. significant digits: Any digits in a number that is necessary to define a numerical value.
11. tolerance: The amount by which the value of a quantity is allowed to vary; thus, the tolerance is the algebraic difference
between the maximum and minimum limits.
Engineering specification and drawing conversion. Conversion of critical limit dimensions may require limits to be rounded
inwards or maximum size rounded down and minimum size rounded up if existing specified limits must be maintained. It is more
precise to convert limits rather than nominal size and tolerance where conversion errors accumulate. See SAE J390 Dual
Dimensioning or SAE J916 Rules for SAE use of SI (metric) units.
:
For everyday rounding of metric values obtained by converting untoleranced inch-pound values, the following simplified rules
are suggested; for more sophisticated rounding rules, see ANSI SI 10 or referenced SAE standards.
(a) If the inch-pound value is expressed by a combination of units such as feet and inches, or pound and ounces, first express
it in terms of the smaller unit.
Example: Change 14 ft 5 in to 173 in.
(b) When the digits to be discarded begin with a 5 or more, increase the last digit retained by one unit.
Example: 8.3745, if rounded to three digits, would be 8.37; if rounded to four digits, 8.375.
(c) Multiply the inch-pound value by the conversion factor. If the first significant* digit of the metric value is equal to or larger
than the first significant digit of the inch-pound value, round the metric value to the same number of significant digits as there
are in the inch-pound value.
*One or more zeros at the beginning of a number are not called “significant”. Zeros at the end of a number are not considered
significant unless their use results in a number that is closer to the true value than would occur if the number were increased or
decreased.
Examples: 11 mi x 1.609 km/mi = 17.699 km, which rounds to 18 km.

61 mi x 1.609 km/mi = 98.149 km, which rounds to 98 km.
If smaller, round to one more significant digit.

Examples: 66 mi x 1.609 km/mi = 106.194 km, which rounds to 106 km.
8 ft x 0.3048 m/ft = 2.438 m, which rounds to 2.4 m.
(d) Exceptions: It is sometimes better to round to one less digit than specified above. For example, according to Rule (c), 26
pounds per square inch air pressure in a tire would be converted as follows:
Example: 26 psi* x 6.895 kPa/psi = 179.27 kPa, which rounds to 179 kPa.
2
*psi is the abbreviation for pound-force per square inch (lbf/in ).
However, 180 kPa – where the zero is not a significant digit – usually would be better, because tire pressures typically are not
precise.
The rule do not apply to conversion of oF to oC scale.

(e) These simplified rules do not eliminate the necessity for using good judgment. If you believe that a dimension given as 8
ft is valid to the nearest 1/10 inch, you should consider it to mean 96.0 inches [per(a)] and treat it as having three significant
digits. The rounded dimension then would be 2.438 m, instead of 2.4 m.
Where an inch-pound value represents a maximum or minimum limit that must be respected, the rounding must be in a
direction that does not violate the original limit.
