vii Introduction This guide has been produced as a companion to BS 8888, presenting up-to-date information based on the technical product specification aspects of BS 8888 and the essential standards it references. Its aim is to offer straightforward guidance together with pictorial representations, to all practitioners of technical product specification, i.e. those currently using BS 8888 and those who, in a bid to conform to global ISO practices, are making or wish to make, the transition from the old BS 308 to BS 8888. Its scope is to provide the necessary tools to enable engineers engaged in design specification, manufacturing and verification with the essential basic information required for specifying a product or component. It includes comprehensive sections extracted from and referenced to international standards relating to linear, geometric and surface texture dimensioning and tolerancing, together with the practice of welding symbology, limits and fits and thread data. It also includes an illustrated index to all standards referenced in BS 8888. This guide does not replace BS 8888 which is the definitive standard for technical product realization. Any element of BS 8888 not included in this guide should not be considered as less important to technical specification than those included. Most of the drawings in this guide have been extracted (and adapted) from the following BSI publications: BS EN ISO 1101, BS EN ISO 1302, BS ISO 5459, BS 8888 and PP 8888, Parts 1 and 2.
1 Chapter 1 Dimensioning and tolerancing of size 1.1 Introduction Dimensioning is the process of applying measurements to a technical drawing. It is crucial to the whole process by which the designer will communicate the information required for the manufacture and verification of products. 1.2 General principles Dimensions shall be applied to the drawing accurately, clearly and unambiguously. The following points shall be regarded as general dimensioning principles to be applied to all technical drawings. Each dimension necessary for the definition of the finished product shall be shown once only. Never calculate a dimension from the other dimensions shown on the drawing, nor scale the drawing. There shall be no more dimensions than are necessary to completely define the product. Preferred sizes shall be used whenever possible (see notes). Linear dimensions shall be expressed in millimetres (unit symbol mm ). If this information is stated on the drawing, the unit symbol mm may be omitted. If other units are used, the symbols shall be shown with their respective values. Dimensions shall be expressed to the least number of significant figures, e.g. 45 not 45,0. The decimal marker shall be a bold comma, given a full letter space and placed on the baseline. Where four or more numerals are to the left or right of the decimal marker, a full space shall divide each group of three numerals, counting from the position of the decimal marker, e.g. 400 or 100 but 12 500 (see notes). A zero shall precede a decimal of less than one, e.g. 0,5. An angular dimension shall be expressed in degrees and minutes, e.g. 20 and 22 30 or, alternatively, as a decimal, e.g. 30,5. A full space shall be left between the degree symbol and the minute numeral. When an angle is less than one degree, it shall be preceded by a zero, e.g. 0 30. NOTES: Preferred sizes are those referring to standard material stock sizes and standard components such as nuts, bolts, studs and screws. Decimal marker points or commas are not used to separate groups of numerals. This causes ambiguity since the decimal marker is denoted by a comma.

Dimensioning and tolerancing of size 3 1.4 Dimensioning conventions Technical product specification standards specify the following conventions when dimensioning drawings. Extension lines shall normally be placed outside the view to aid clarity, as shown in igure 2. The extension line connects the dimension line (on which the value of the measurement is placed) to the reference points on the outline of the drawing. The following standard practice is specified. Crossing of extension lines shall be avoided whenever possible. There should be a small gap between the outline of the drawing and a projection line. The extension line shall extend slightly beyond the dimension line, as shown in igure 2. Extension lines shall, where possible, be drawn at right angles to the dimension line. Centre-lines, extensions of centre-lines and continuations of outlines shall never be used as Drawing dimension practice lines. They may, however, be used as projection lines. Arrowheads and origin circles are commonly used as terminators for dimension lines. Oblique strokes and points can also be used, as shown in igures 3 and 4. Dimension lines shall be unbroken even if the feature they refer to is shown as interrupted, as illustrated in igure 5. Leader line 2 45 6. 6. Dimensioning 6.

Conventions for arranging dimensions on drawings are as follows. Dimensions shall be placed in the middle of the dimension line above and clear of it. Dimensions shall not be crossed or separated by other lines on the drawing. Values of angular dimensions shall be oriented so that they can be read from the bottom or the right-hand side of the drawing, as shown in igure 8. Where space is limited, the dimension can be placed centrally, above, or in line with, the extension of one of the dimension lines, as shown in igure 9. Larger dimensions shall be placed outside smaller dimensions, as shown in igure 10.

The difference between these limits is known as the tolerance for that dimension. All dimensions (except auxiliary dimensions) are subject to tolerances. Tolerances shall be specified for all dimensions that affect the functioning or interchange ability of the part. Tolerances shall also be used to indicate where unusually wide variations are permissible. Tolerances shall be applied either to individual dimensions or by a general note giving uniform or graded tolerances to classes of dimensions, for example: TOLERANCE UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED LINEAR ±0,4 ANGULAR ±0 30 The method shown in igure 40a should be followed where it is required to tolerance individual linear dimensions. This method directly specifies both the limits of the size of the dimension, the tolerance being the difference between the limits of the size. The larger limit of the size shall be placed above the smaller limit and both shall be given to the same number of decimal places. The method shown in igure 40b can be used as an alternative way of specifying tolerances.

As the Envelope Some national standards apply, or have Requirement applied, has the been envelope the default, requirement they have to all not features-of-size used a symbol by to indicate this requirement; rather they use a note to indicate when this default. As the envelope requirement has been the default, they have not used a symbol to indicate this is not required. This system of tolerancing is sometimes described as the requirement; rather they use a note Principle to indicate of Dependency, when this is or not the required. application This of system the Taylor of tolerancing Principle. is sometimes described as the principle Standards of dependency, which apply, or the or application have applied, of the the Envelope Taylor principle. Requirement by Standards which apply, or have default applied, include: the envelope requirement by default include: ASME Y14.5 (the requirement that there is an envelope of perfect ASME Y14.5 form corresponding to the Maximum Material Size of the feature is The requirement that there shall be an envelope defined as of Rule perfect #1). form corresponding to the maximum material size of the feature is defined as BS Rule 308 #1).

Dimensioning and tolerancing of size 21 BS 8888 Prior to the 2004 revision; the principle of dependency was taken as the default option under BS 8888:2000 and BS 8888:2002, although the option of working to the principle of independency was included, through the use of the BS 8888 triangle I indication. BS 8888:2004 and BS 8888:2006 the principle of dependency could be explicitly invoked through the use of the BS 8888 triangle D indication. BS 8888 D As the interaction between the envelope requirement and individual geometrical tolerances is not always fully defined within the ISO system, and as the application of the envelope requirement by default to all features-of-size is not formally supported within the ISO system, the use of the principle of dependency is no longer recommended. 1.14 Datum surfaces and functional requirements unctional dimensions shall be expressed directly on the drawing, as shown in igure 1. The application of this principle will result in the selection of reference features on the basis of the function of the product and the method of locating it in any assembly of which it may form a part. If any reference feature other than one based on the function of the product is used, finer tolerances will be necessary to meet the functional requirement, which in turn will increase the cost of producing the product, as shown in igure 43 on page 22. 1.15 Relevant standards BS EN ISO 16, Technical drawings Dimensioning and tolerancing of profiles BS ISO 129-1, Technical drawings Indication of dimensions and tolerances Part 1: General principles BS ISO 3040, Technical drawings Dimensioning and tolerancing Cones BS ISO 10579, Technical drawings Dimensioning and tolerancing Non-rigid parts BS ISO 406, Technical drawings Tolerancing of linear and angular dimensions BS EN 22768-1, General tolerances Part 1: Tolerances for linear and angular dimensions without individual tolerance indications BS 4235-1, Specification for metric keys and keyways Part 1: Parallel and taper keys BS 4235-2, Specification for metric keys and keyways Part 2: Woodruff keys and keyways BS ISO 8015, Technical drawings undamental tolerancing principle BS EN ISO 146-1, Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS) Geometrical features Part 1: General terms and definitions BS EN ISO 146-2, Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS) Geometrical features Part 2: Extracted median line of a cylinder and a cone, extracted median surface, local size of an extracted feature PP 8888-2, Engineering drawing practice: a guide for further and higher education to BS 8888:2006, Technical product specification (TPS)
BIP 2155 ile name: 2008-01133_43c.eps 22 The Essential Guide to Technical Product Specification: Engineering Drawing Description a) Assembly drawing showing a given functional requirement, namely the limits of height of the top face of item 1 above the top face of item 3, with a tolerance of 0.08 mm b) Detail of head of item 1 showing given limits of size, with a tolerance of 0.03 mm c) Item 2 dimensioned from a functional reference surface NOTE: One direct dimension with a tolerance of 0.05 mm is needed to satisfy the condition shown in a). A nominal flange thickness of 5 mm has been assumed. This value is non-functional and can have BIP any 2155 large tolerance. d) Item 2 dimensioned from a nonfunctional reference surface NOTE: Tolerances have had to be reduced; two dimensions with tolerances of, say, 0.02 mm for the flange and 0.03 mm are now needed to satisfy the condition shown in a).
