Foreword

IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide

federation of national standards bodies (IS0 me mber bodies). The work of
preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which
a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented
on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-
. governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0
d
ite collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
b
i
h (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
o
r
p
k
r Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
o
tw circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
e
n Standard requires approval by at least 75 of the member bodies casting
n
o a vote.

1 scope

This European Standard specifies general tolerances for linear and angl lar di-
mension s and for shape and position of welded structures in four tolerance clas-
ses, these being based on customary worksh op accuracy. The main criterion for
the selection of a particular tolerance class should be the functional require-
ments which are to be met.
The applicable tolerances are always those which are stated in the drawing.
Instead of specifying individual tolerances the tolerance classes according to
this standard may be used.

General tolerances for linear and angular dimension s and for sha pe and position
as specified in this standard apply for weldme nts, welding assemblies and welded
structures etc.

Special provisions may be necessary for com plex structures.

.
d
ite The
b
i dencyspecifications
as specified given
in IS0 in8015,
this according
standard are based the
to which on dimensio

e
n tions for shape and position are presented without individually indicated tole-

The designation of the selected tolerance class as specified in table 1 and

table 2 (e.g. EN IS0 139204) or its combination with a tolerance class as spe-
cified in table 3 (e.g. EN IS0 13920.BE), shall be entered in the appropriate
area on the dra wing.

The actual surface of the weldment and the measuring plane shall be aligned to
each other in such a way that the greatest distance between the measuring plane
and the actual surface is at its minimum. This may be effected, for example,
with the aid of optical devices, tubular water levels, span wires, floor plates,
surface plates, and 'machine beds.
The distances between the actual surface and the measuring plane shall be
measured (example see figure 7).
