A.1 Definition of Terms


SECTION 1
GENERAL
1.1. EFFECTIVITY
1.1.1. This document (or sections thereof), in order to be in effect, must be referenced on the drawing or other
document concerned.
1.1.2. When this document is referenced on an engineering drawing, it may be assumed that geometric
dimensioning and tolerancing is used according to the standard practices given in ISO 1101-1983(E), and
that simple coordinate dimensioning and tolerancing is used according to the standard practices given in
ISO 129-1985(E) and ISO 406-1987(E) unless otherwise indicated on the engineering drawing.
1.1.3. Any changes, additions, or deletions to this Standards Drawing require the approval of the G.E.
Healthcare Metrication Council.
1.1.4. The figures in this drawing are to illustrate meanings only. In some instances, figures have been over
detailed for emphasis, and in some instances, figures are incomplete.
1.2. STANDARD DIMENSION REQUIREMENTS

1.2.1. All linear dimensions are given in millimeters unless otherwise stated on the drawing, and apply to the
completed part at a part and gauge temperature of 293° kelvin (20°C) and do not include organic or
inorganic coatings or deposits such as paint, lacquer, plating, anodizing, or conversion coatings.
1.2.2. Angles and associated tolerances are expressed in degrees and decimal increments of a degree unless
otherwise stated on the drawing.
1.2.3. Dimensions and tolerances apply to a part in the unrestrained condition, unless otherwise specified on
the drawing.
1.2.4. It must be remembered that the primary purpose of a drawing is to convey and record requirements for
a completed part. While the alternatives for production processes to be used may be limited by the
design, the detailed steps of the production method are not dictated by the method of dimensioning. The
detailed method of production chosen by manufacturing will be based solely on meeting the tolerances
specified in the most cost effective manner possible.
1.2.5 Completed Parts

1.2.5.1 Manufacturing/Sourcing is responsible to deliver only completed parts for assembly.
1.2.5.2 Completed parts must meet all applicable engineering drawing requirements.
1.2.5.3 Completed parts must be free of all dirt, chips, and cutting lubricant residues.
1.2.5.4 Completed parts must be free of any masking tapes used in painting or plating or their residues.
1.2.5.5 Whenever the engineering drawing does not specify a rust preventive finish on a carbon steel part,
a light coating of rust preventive oil is required. But, this does not relieve the above requirement
for the removal of dirt, chips, etc.



1.2.6 Manufacturing/Sourcing Information
Manufacturing/Sourcing is responsible for all sheet metal developments. Engineering drawings will
define the functional and appearance requirements of the part. It is the responsibility of
Manufacturing/Sourcing to produce/deliver the part to satisfy these requirements. Some
manufacturing information such as drill depths for tapped holes, grain directions, raw material size
specifications, etc. can have a significant effect on the function of the part and should be specifically
defined and considered design required information.
1.3 DIMENSIONAL TOLERANCES
1.3.1 Interpretations of dimensions and tolerances will be in accordance with ISO 8015-1985(E) except as
otherwise specified either on the engineering drawing or in this document.
All dimensions must have a tolerance expressed either with the dimension, in the general tolerance
block, or in this shop run tolerance standard. No tolerance is to be assumed nor is any tolerance
implied by any method of dimensioning or by the number of decimal places used.
1.3.2 Angles which are not specified on the engineering drawing, but are shown as 90°, are to be 90° +or- 2°
except as otherwise specified in this standard (e.g. TABLES 1.6.5 and 3.2.2)
1.3.3 The order of precedence for dimensional tolerances is as follows:

a. Specific Tolerances: those stated with specific dimensions on the engineering drawing
b. Shop Run Tolerances: those specified in this or any other document referenced on the drawing
c. General Tolerances: those specified in the general tolerance block on the drawing
The following paragraphs of this document are specific areas where b. above takes precedence
over c. above:
Round hole diameter tolerance 1.6.5
Depth of non-through holes 1.6.6

Counter bore diameter tolerance 1.7.4
Threaded length tolerance 1.8.5
Blind tapped holes 1.8.6
Bend radii tolerance 3.2.1
1.3.4 Raw Material Stock Tolerance
1.3.4.1 Stock sizes such as thickness, screen mesh, wire gauge, and standard pipe sizes are specified as
part of the raw material description near the part number circle. The tolerance requirements of
the material specification apply to this type of dimension.
1.3.4.2 Dimensions shown on the delineation of a part, even though they may correspond to standard
raw material sizes, are bound by the same rules for determining and specifying tolerance as any
other design dimension.
1.3.4.3 The tolerance on the thickness of sheet material shall be that of a sheet 2500mm wide as
specified in the applicable raw material specification. For sheet material obtainable only in widths
less than 2500mm, the tolerance shall be that of the widest sheet obtainable unless strip stock is
specified. For formed sheet this tolerance applies before the material is formed.


1.3.4.4 Unless otherwise stated, the tolerance on the thickness of sheet material after processing shall be
minus 10% of the sheet thickness as measured from the nominal thickness dimension.
1.4 SURFACE TEXTURE
1.4.1 Specified
Surfaces designated by the symbol  enclosing a numerical value, shall be produced with an
arithmetic average roughness not exceeding the value, in micrometers, enclosed by the symbol.
1.4.2 Not Specified

When no identification of surface texture is shown at the symbol on the views of the piece part
and no numerical value is shown in the general tolerance block, the tolerance band, in
micrometers, for the process used to produce the finish shall be as in Table 1.4.2

1.4.3 When the roughness symbol is specified with “AS CAST” or “AS MOLDED” it is to be interpreted that the
specified degree of roughness shall be obtained in the process indicated and not by added operations.
1.4.4 The number specified shall be the roughest surface acceptable regardless of the method or material
used. Smoother surfaces are acceptable except where lowest roughness value is also specified or
characteristics such as waviness or direction of lay preclude a smoother surface.



1.4.5 On surfaces that are to be plated, the surface texture requirement shall be considered to apply to the
surface before plating unless otherwise specified.
1.5 BURRS AND EDGES
A burr is defined as that material extending beyond the intersection point on either of two intersecting surfaces.
1.5.1 Burrs of less than 0,1mm are permitted except as specified on the drawing or elsewhere in this
document. Burrs must not cause any dimension to extend beyond its tolerance zone.
1.5.2 When a drawing specifies that an edge be deburred, it shall be reduced to a radius or chamfer not to
exceed 30% of stock thickness or 0.7mm, whichever is lesser. In addition, for material 1,2mm and
thicker, the radius or chamfer must not be less than 0,08mm.
1.5.3 When a chamfer is specified on the end of a hexagonal part, it shall be 30° +or- 5° to a full face
diameter as shown in Figure 1.5.3 unless specified otherwise on the engineering drawing.
FIGURE 1.5.3
1.5.4 A smooth blend, when so designated, shall meet the following requirements:
a. There shall be no sharp edges. Both edges are to be broken and polished to a smooth blending of
surfaces. A true radius is not required.
b. There shall be no grooves or reverse contours in the blended areas as described on the drawing.
See examples in Figure 1.5.4

1.6 ROUND HOLES
1.6.1 Holes may be either punched or drilled to suit factory planning within the tolerances specified.
1.6.2 Tolerance on punched holes applies to the punch entry side. The hole must be within tolerance for two
thirds of the material thickness. See paragraph 3.1.1 for permissible diameter increase in the
breakaway area.
1.6.3 A hole diameter may not be out of tolerance at any point due to an out-of-round condition.
1.6.4 The axis of a hole must fall within its tolerance zone, as shown on the engineering drawing, for the
entire length of the hole.

1.7 COUNTERSINKS AND COUNTER BORES
1.7.1 All countersinks shall be 90° +or- 1° unless otherwise specified on the engineering drawing or in this
document.
1.7.2 All tapped holes shall be countersunk per the following table before tapping. An exception is the case
of sheet material of a thickness corresponding to less than four of the specified threads. In this case,
countersink to the major diameter. Countersink angle is to be 100° +or- 20° in each case.

1.7.3.2 Clearance holes (for both mating parts), countersink face diameters, and expected depth
below the surface of the seated screw are shown in Table 1.7.3.2.
For thin materials, where condition 2 or 3 is possible, the countersink face diameter should be
given a dimension with a tolerance of +or- 0,2mm. If condition 2 or 3 appears possible, layout
of the condition on a 10 to 1 scale of a 90° countersink will readily show the drill size
relationship to the countersink profile. Then select a drill which is slightly larger than the
minimum diameter of the countersink.
1.7.4 Counter bores

1.7.4.2 Curved surfaces
In cases where countersinks and counter bores are called for on curved surfaces, they shall
conform to the following:
1.7.4.2.1 Where countersink diameters are specified, the diameter shall be measured across the
smaller dimension.
1.7.4.2.2 Where counter bore depths are specified, the depth shall be measured at the shallowest
point.
FIGURE 1.7.4
1.7.5 Countersink Concentricity

The Maximum Eccentricity of a countersink and its common center hole shall be as in Table 1.7.5
unless otherwise specified on the engineering drawing. This eccentricity allowance does not relieve
the requirement for the centers of both the hole and the countersink to lie within the tolerance zone
for the dimension which locates them.

1.8.1 External Threads shall conform to M series coarse pitch per ISO 262-1978(E). All threads are right hand.
Surface roughness shall be 1,6 micrometers on all thread diameters to 12mm and 3,2 micrometers on
thread diameters 12mm and larger.
1.8.2 Squareness
1.8.2.1 An Internal Thread axis shall be perpendicular to the tool entering surface or other
reference surface within the limits specified for out of plumb tolerance in Table 1.6.5.
For tapped holes in punched parts, the angularity tolerance is two degrees in any direction.
1.8.2.2 An External Thread axis shall be square with the face or shoulder within 0,1mm TIR per 10mm of
radius.
1.8.3 Internal Threads Shall Be Countersunk Before Tapping 100° +or- 20° on the side of tapped through
holes on which the hole-locating dimensions are shown, unless otherwise specified on the engineering
drawing. See paragraph 1.7.2 for proper countersink size.
1.8.4 All threaded ends shall be chamfered at 45° +or- 8° to a depth below root diameter. For threads to
and including M8, the chamfer shall not extend below root diameter more than one half the depth of
thread.
1.8.5 Effective threaded length tolerance for both internal and external threads is one and one half threads
unless otherwise specified on the engineering drawing. Up to three incomplete threads are permitted
beyond the indicated thread length for lead on tap or die. Except where an undercut is specified on
external threads as per 1.8.8.
