TOLERANCING AND ENGINEERING STANDARDS
Tolerancing is just like written languages. It has its own standards. There are to
many standards like ANSI(Inch System), ISO (Metric System) etc. List of standards:
ANSI B4.1, ANSI B4.2, ISO 286, ISO 1829, ISO 2768, EN 20286, JIS B 0401. In an
assembly process the degree of "clearance" or "tightness" desired between mating
parts is important. In a manufacture of a machine, quality is a primary consideration.
Manufacturing precision taken into the product determines its quality, its cost and
selling price. Parts of a machine are designed in order to make a function. The
working parts have a definite relationship with each other: free rotation, free
longitudinal movement, clamping action, and permanent fixed position. Precision is
the degree of accuracy necessary to ensure the functioning of a part as intended.
Tolerance is the allowable variation for any given size in order to achieve a proper
function.
Tolerancing Definitions
NOMINAL SIZE : The size used for general description. Example; 7/8 inch Shaft,
25mm Shaft etc.
BASIC SIZE : The size used when the nominal size is converted to the decimal and
from which deviation are made to produce limit dimension. Example: .8750inch shaft
which is the basic size for a 7/8 inch nominal shaft.25mm nominal size which can be
basic size of 24.950mm.
LIMIT DIMENSION : The Lower and Upper permitted sizes for a single feature
dimension. 0.500-0.506 inch where 0.500 inch is the lower limit and 0.506 inch
upper limit dimensions
TOLERANCE :Tolerance is the allowable variation for any given size in order to
achieve a proper function. Tolerance equals the difference between lower and upper
limit dimensions. Example; for 0.500-0.506 inch the tolerance would be 0.006 inch.
BILATERAL TOLERANCE : It is a way to express tolerance by using both minus

and plus variations from a given size. Example;
inch. The limit dimensions are 1.120-1.130 inch. The tolerance is 0.010 inch.
UNILATERAL TOLERANCE : It is a way to express tolerance by using only minus

or plus variation from a given size. Example
inch. As you can see the first case uses a minus variation.
or
inch. The first case uses a minus and plus variation.

FIT : The general term of fit to describe the range of tightness designed into parts
which assemble one into another. The fit can be explained under the three
categories.
A-CLEARANCE FIT : A type of fit in which one part fits easily into another with a
resulting clearance gap. See the below example,
A clearance fit. The shaft is always smaller than the hole
Tolerance on shaft : 0.002
Tolerance on hole : 0.002
minimum clearance : 0.600 - 0.595 = 0.005 inch
maximum clearance : 0.602 - 0.593= 0.009 inch
The 0.005 clearance in for the tightest possible fit.
B-FORCE (INTERFERENCE) FIT : A type of fit in which one part must be forcibly
fitted into another. See the below example
An Force (interference) fit. when the shaft is always larger in diameter than the hole
parts must be assembled by pressure or heat expansion.
minimum clearance : 0.500 - 0.503= -0.003 in (the tightest fit 0.003 in interference)
maximum clearance : 0.501 - 0.502 = -0.001 in (the loosest fit 0.001 in interference)
Maximum clearance=Minimum interference
Minimum clearance=Maximum interference
C-TRANSITION FIT : A type of fit in which loosest case provides a clearance fit and
the tightest case gives an interference fit. See the example below,
A transition fit exist when the maximum clearance is positive and the minimum
clearance is negative
minimum clearance : 0.500 - 0.507 = -0.007 inch
The tightest fit is 0.007 in interference.
maximum clearance : 0.505 - 0.002 = 0.503 inch
The loosest fit is 0.003 in clearance
Transition fits are used only for locating a shaft relative to a hole,
where accuracy is important but either a clearance or interference is permitted.
ALLOWANCE : An alternative expression for tightest possible fit, which is minimum

clearance or maximum interference
Maximum allowance is 0.003.
BASIC-SHAFT SYSTEM : This is a system in which the basic size is included as

one of the limit dimensions of the shaft. But it is not for the hole. As an example: for
a basis size of 1.000 inch. The limit dimensions on the shaft could be 1.000 and
1.005 inch. The related hole could be 1.011 and 1.018 inch.
BASIC-HOLE SYSTEM : This is a system in which the basic size appears as one of
the limit dimensions of the hole. But it is not for the shaft. As an example for a basic
size of 1.000 inch, the limit dimensions of the hole might be 1.000 and 1.007 inch.
For the related shaft the limit dimensions could be 0.994 and 0.989 inch.
MINIMUM MATERIAL CONDITION : In this condition a hole is at its largest limit
dimension. A shaft is at its smallest limit dimension. This condition exists at
maximum clearance or minimum interference.
MAXIMUM MATERIAL CONDITION : In this condition a hole is at its smallest limit
dimension. The shaft is at its largest limit dimension. This condition exists at
minimum clearance or maximum interference. See example under the Force fit
condition.

ISO Tolerance Systems For Limits And Fits

This standard can be described as ISO 286:1988.This standard is being described in USA as ANSI (ANSI B4.2-1978).
American National Standard (ANSI B4.2-1978) describes ISO standard of metric fits and limits for mating machine
parts as approved for general engineering usage. This Standard is used as an international standard for linear
dimension tolerances. This ISO system is identical with the European standard (EN 20286:1993) and defines an
internationally recognized system of tolerances, deviations and fits. This system has been accepted in most industrially
developed countries in identical or by modifying wording system as a their national standard like Japan, British, USA
(JIS B 0401, DIN ISO 286, BS EN 20286, CSN EN 20286, etc.). General terms of shaft and hole can also be taken to
refer to the space contained by two parallel faces of any part, e.g. fits of keys in grooves.
The most important term relating to fits and limits are showmen in the figure below;
Deviations from the exact dimensions are unavoidable due to the nature of manufacturing processes.
Deviation: Difference between the size and the corresponding basic size. The basic size is assigned as limits of
deviation. it is same for both parts of their fits.
Lower Deviation: Difference between the min limit of part's size and corresponding basic size. It is designated "EI"
for Hole, "ei" for shaft
Upper Deviation: Difference between the max limit of part's size and the corresponding basic size. It is designated
"ES" for hole," es" for shaft
Fundamental Deviation: One of the deviations closest to the basic size.
For easy understanding of the "es", "ei", "ES", and "EI" and identification of their negative and positive
values, the letter may be interpreted as follow;
es: Error from zero line (Basic Size) to superior size of shaft.
ei: Error from zero line (Basic Size) to inferior size of shaft.
ES: Error from zero line (Basic Size) to superior size of hole.
EI: Error from zero line (Basic Size) to inferior size of hole.
Tolerance Zone: A zone representing the tolerance and its position in relating to the basis size. The tolerance zone is
also defined as a spherical zone limited by the upper and lower limit dimensions of the part.
Tolerance: The algebraic difference between the max and min limits on the part.
International Tolerance Grade (IT)

IT grade is a group of tolerances. Each of the tolerances of this system is marked "IT" with attached grade of accuracy
(IT01, IT0, IT1 ... IT18).IT Grades reference ISO 286. The magnitude of the tolerance zone is the variation in part size.
IT groups of tolerances such that tolerances for a particular IT number have the same relative level of accuracy but
vary depending on the basic size. A smaller grate of IT number provides a smaller tolerance zone. The fundamental IT
deviation for hole basis is designated by "H", the shaft designated by "h".
Tolerance Symboles:The tolerance symbol is established by combining the IT grade number and position letter for
tolerance. Capital letter like "H" for hole, and lower case letter like "h" for shaft.

The Value for the Hole from "A" to "H" are positive (+), for the Shaft from "a" to "h" negative (-). The Value of
the Hole from "J" to "K" either positive (+) or negative (-), for Shaft form "j" to "k" either positive (+) or
negative (-).
Applications with ISO 286/ANSI B4.2-1978 International Tolerance Grade.

For best fit selection for a specific applications many factors can be effective. Such as speed, temperatures, length
engagement, materials, lubrications, humidity, bearing load and etc. To satisfy extreme conditions the best preferred fit
must be considered. The tolerances indicated by the International Tolerance (IT) Grades are general guide to
machining process given in ISO 286/ANSI B4.2-1978 showmen in the below table.

As mentioned before IT Grade have 18 standard tolerance. These IT Grades have their own numerical values for each
dimater step given in the tables above. IT Grades IT01 to IT5 are the most accurate and used essetially for gauge. IT
Grades IT6 to IT 16 are less accurate and are used for nonmating dimensions. International Grade can be calculated
as given below;
T:International Tolerance grade in (m)
D:Geometric mean dimension in millimeters (mm)
ITG:IT Grade (a positive integer)
Also T:International Tolerance can be showmen as;
"i": is standard tolerance unit/factor."i" for IT5 to IT 16 values can be calculated with the formula below;
Unit tolerance in (m). To calculate D;
where, D (mm) is the geometric mean of the lower and upper diameters of a particular diameter step within which the
chosen the diameter D lies. Standard Tolerance Unit/Factor the formula has parabolic relationship with the size of the
products. As the size increases, the tolerance within which a part can be manufactured also increases.
The Standards Tolerance values corresponding to IT grades IT01, IT0, IT1, see the chart below

EXAMPLE:
Lets chose the diameter of the shaft 60mm, and Tolerance grade H8f7; Calculation for Fundamental deviation,
Tolerances and Limit of size for Hole and, Shaft. Calculation of the Standard tolerance Unit;
The size range for 60mm Diameter would be 50-80mm from the ISO 286 table
D= 50 +80 mm=63.25mm
i=10-3 50 +60 +0.01x63.25=1.865micron or i=0.001865mm
For Shaft of f7 "i" value standard unit from the table;
Tolerance=16i=16x1.865=0.030mm
For Hole of H8 "i" value standard unit from the table;
Tolerance=25i=25x0.001865=0.046mm
Since design based on Hole basis, the fundamental deviation of hole is zero. Fundamental deviation for Shaft;
=-5.5xD0.41
=-5.5x63.250.41
=-30.114 microns=0.030mm
Shaft;
Higher Limit=Basic size-Fundamental Deviation=60-0.030=59.97mm
Lower Limit=Higher Limit-Tolerance=59.97-0.03=59.94mm
Hole;
Lower Limit=Basic Size=60mm
Higher Limit=Lower Limit+Tolerance=60+0.046=60.046mm
Calculation of Upper (es) and Lower (ei) Deviation For Shaft:

The deviations and fundamental tolerances provided by the ISO System. The limits of tolerance for holes or shafts are
designated by the appropriate letter indicating the fundamental deviation. And Tolerance grade is dominated by
followed by a suffix number. For example, if the hole deviation "H" and tolerance grade IT7,; designation would be H7,
if Shaft deviation "k" and tolerance grade IT6; designation would be k6.If the basic size 50mm, tolerance designation
would be 50H7 and 50k6.
The Upper and Lower deviations for Shaft are donated by "es" and "ei". The Upper and Lower deviations for Hole are
donated by "ES" and "EI". The Fundamental Deviations can be calculated with the help of some formulas given below.
Calculation Fundamental Upper and Lower Deviation Of Shaft:
es=ei+IT, ei=es-IT
Calculation Fundamental Upper and Lower Deviation Of Hole:
ES=EI+IT, EI=ES-IT

ANSI Standard Limits and Fits (ANSI B4.1-1967,R1974)

ANSI, This American Standard for preferred limits and fits for cylindrical parts presents definitions of terms applying to
fits between nonthreaded cylindrical and makes some recommendations on preferred sizes, fits, tolerances, and
allowances for use where they are applicable. The ANSI B4.1 charts data are provided in thousandths (.001) of an
inch.ANSI can be defined ANSI metric or ANSI Inch system. ANSI decimal inch system is based on ANSI Standard
(B4.1 - 1967(1979). ANSI Standard (B4.2 - 1978)metric system is based on ISO millimeter system. ANSI - American
National Standards Institute. ISO is International Organization for Standardization. ANSI standard is in accord with the
recommendations of American-British-Canadian (ABC) conferences up to diameter of 20 inches.The ABC proposal
comprises:(a)A grade system of fundamental tolerances for diameters 0.04 inch to approximately 20 inches, the
tolerance values in each grade being to the diameter by a given law of formula and each grade of tolerance being
approximately related to the others in the system in a preferred number ratio (R5 series, with 60 percent increments).
(a) A series of unilateral hole limits derived from the fundamental tolerances, for use with a hole basis system. (c) A
series of shaft, one of these limits being determined by the allowance ( according to some technical requirement), the
other being derived from it by addition or subtraction of the fundamental tolerance.(d) A selection of fits made by
recommended association of certain of the holes and shaft, the selection being adequate to cover most engineering
requirements.
What can be effective for selection of the fits?

Many factor can be affective for selecting proper fits such as bearing loads, speed, materials, length of engagement,
lubrication, humidity, and temperature etc. This all affect must be taken into consideration in the selection of the fits for
proper applications.
ANSI B4.1 - 1967(1979), R1974 Standard Tolerances

ANSI B4.1 standard implements 10 tolerance grades to meet the requirements of various production branches for
accuracy of products. ANSI B4.1 standard defines a system of preferred fits only for basic sizes up to 19.69 inch. ANSI
B4.1 system of tolerances is prescribed by the standard for basic sizes up to 200 in. ANSI B4.1 Tolerance Table
provides a suitable range from which appropriate tolerance for holes and shaft can be selected. This enables the use
of standard gages. Table shown below

ANSI B4.1 - 1967(1979), R1974 Standard Fit Designations

ANSI B4.1 Standard arranged fits classes in three general groups according to the field and type of usage. Standard
fits are designated by means of some symbols which facilitate reference to classes of fits to get better understanding.
The symbols are not intended to be shown on the manufacturing detail drawings, only sizes should be specified on the
detail drawings.
1-) Running or Sliding Fits [RC]
2-) Locational Fits [LC, LT, LN]. This standard can be explained in three groups.
a-) Clearance Locational Fits [LC]
b-) Transition Locational Fits [LT]
c-) Interference Locational Fits [LN]
3-) Force or Shrink Fits [FN]
These letter symbols RC, LC, LT, LN, and FN are used with numbers representing the fit class. like RC4 represent
class 4. One of these symbols "with two letter and one number" represent a complete fit. This fit can be interference, in
and max clearance, and limits of sizes for mating parts.
1-) Running And Sliding Fits (RC):
Running and Sliding fits ranges are designated with RC1 to RC9.Throughout the range of the sizes limits of clearance
for this fit are intended to provide a running performance with suitable lubrication allowance. Loosest of the class fits,
used when a shaft is must move freely inside a hole or bearing, and the positioning of the shaft is not critical in this fit
like sliding gears and clutch disks, pivots, running and sliding fits of shafts, guiding bushings, pistons of hydraulic
machines, etc. There are nine such fits RC1 to RC9.The lower RC numbers are the tighter fits, the higher
numbers are the looser fits. RC1 to RC9 Fits may be described as follows;
RC1; Close Sliding Fits: This kind of fits are intended for the accurate location of parts which must assemble without
noticeable play.
RC2; Sliding Fits: This kind of fits are intended for the accurate location but with greater maximum clearance than
class RC1. Parts made to this fit turn and move easily. This type is not designed for free run. Sliding fits in larger sizes
may seize with small temperature changes.
RC3; Precision Running Fits: This kind of fits are about the closest fits which can be expected to run freely.
Precision running fits are intended for precision work at low speed, low bearing pressures, and light journal pressures.
RC3 is not suitable where noticeable temperature differences occur.
RC4; Close Running Fits: This kind of fits are mostly for running fits on accurate machinery with moderate surface
speed, bearing pressures, and journal pressures where accurate location and minimum play are desired. This kind of
fits also can be described as smaller clearances with higher requirements for precision fit.
RC5 and R6; Medium Running Fits: This kind of fits are designed for machines running at higher running speeds,
considerable bearing pressures, and heavy journal pressure. This kind of fits also can be described with greater
clearances with common requirements for fit precision.
RC7; Free Running Fits: This kind of fits are intended to use where accuracy is not essential. It is suitable for great
temperature variations. This fits are suitable to use without any special requirements for precise guiding of shafts.
RC8 and RC9; Loose Running Fits: This kind of fits are intended for use where wide commercial tolerances may be
required on the shaft. With this fits, The parts with great clearances with having great tolerances. Loose running fits
exposed to effects of corrosion, contamination by dust and thermal or mechanical deformations.

All limits shown in chart below are in thousandths of an inches. Symbols H5,g5, etc. are Shaft and Hole designations
used in American-British-Canadian System (ABC). Limits for Shaft and Hole are applied algebraically to the Nominal
(basic) size to obtain the limits of the size for the parts. All data given in bold in the chart below are in accordance with
ABC agreements. The values given under the "Clearance Limits Column" represent min and max amounts of
clearance resulting from application of standard tolerance limits.

Locational Clearance Limits and Fits For Cylindrical Parts

[(ANSI B4.1-1967,R1987)][Table LC6-LC11]
All limits shown in chart below are in thousandths of an inches. Symbols H6,H7,s6, etc.. are Shaft and Hole
designations used in American-British-Canadian System (ABC). Limits for Shaft and Hole are applied algebraically to
the Nominal (basic) size to obtain the limits of the size for the parts. All data given in bold in the chart below are in
accordance with ABC agreements. The values given under the "Clearance Limits Column" represent min and max
amounts of clearance resulting from application of standard tolerance limits.

b-) Locational Transition Fits [LT]:These fits lie between clearance and interference. Locational interference fits are
for application where accuracy of location in important. But for these kind of fits either small amount of clearance or
interference is permissible. fits These fits are a compromise between LC and LN (interference/force) fits. These fits
would allow either a small amount of clearance or interference. LT1, LT2 can be usable for bearing bushings, hubs of
gears, pulleys and bushings, retaining rings, etc. The parts can be assembled or disassembled manually. LT3, LT4 can
be usable clutches, pulleys, manual wheels, brake disks, etc. The parts can be assembled or disassembled without
any great force by using a rubber hammer. LT5, LT6 can be usable for armatures of electric motors on shafts, driven
bushings, gear rims, flushed bolts, etc. The parts can be assembled using low pressing forces. SHAFT "j7" with Hole
"H8" provides a transition fit averaging a slight clearance and is recommended for location fits requiring slightly less
clearance than is given with "h" shaft and where a slight interference is permissible. Typical applications are coupling
spigot and recesses, gear rings clamped t steel hubs, etc. SHAFT "k6" with Hole "H7" is a true transition fit averaging
virtually no clearance , and is recommended for location fits where a slight interference can be tolerated for the
purpose of eliminating vibration.

c-) Locational Interference Fits [LN]:These fits are used where accuracy of location is prime importance.Locational
interference fits are used for parts requiring rigidity and alignment with no special requirements for bore pressure.The
parts can be assembled or disassembled using cold pressing and greater forces or hot pressing. Such fits are not for
parts designated to transmit frictional loads from one part to another by virtue of the tightness of fit. SHAFT "p6" with
Hole "H7" gives a true interference fit. It is the standard press fit for steel , cast iron, or brass to steel assemblies. The
amount of interference is too small for satisfactory press fit to be obtained in materials of low modulus of elasticity such
as light alloys. For these, SHAFT "s6" with Hole "H7" is used and typical applications are collars pressed on to shafts,
valves seatings, etc.

3-) Force or Shrink Fits [FN]:

These fits are designed, above all, for transfers of torsional moments using friction forces between Holes and Shafts.
Force and Shrink Fits are a type of interference fit which seek to maintain constant hole pressure for all sizes. The
interferece varies almost directly the diameter of the parts. The interference between the min and the max value is
kept small to ensure that resulting pressure are reasonable. The value of interference/loading capacity of the fit
increases with increasing class of the fit. When using force fit, surface unevenness of connected parts is partially
stripped and smoothed. This results in reduction of the original assembly interference and thus reduction of the
assembly loading capacity. The amount of mounting smoothness of the surface depends on load bearing treatment of
the connected part edge surface, speed of press and mainly on the roughness of connected parts. The press speed
should not exceed 2 mm/s. To prevent seizing, steel parts are usually greased. It is also necessary to grease contact
areas in case of large couplings with large interference, where extremely high press forces are required. Parts from
different materials may be dry-pressed. Greasing contact and coupling loading capacity. From the technological point
of view, a force fit is relatively simple and undemanding; but, it shows lower assembly loading capacity and reliability
than a transverse press/Shrink fit. Force and Shrink fits are described as follows;
FN1; Light Drive Fits: These type of fits are those requiring light assembly pressure, and they produce more or less
permanent assemblies. They are suitable in cast-iron external members or for thin sections or long fits.
FN2; Medium Drive Fits: These type of fits are suitable for ordinary steel parts, or shrink fits on light sections.
Medium Drive Fits are about the tightest fits that can be used with high-grade cast-iron external members.
FN3; Heavy Drive Fits: These type of fits are suitable for heavier steel parts or shrink fits in medium sections.
FN4;FN5 Force Drive Fits: These type of fits are for parts which can be highly and stressed or for shrink fits where
the heavy pressing forces required are impractical.
Graphical Representation of ANSI B4.1-1967 Force and Shrink Fits
The allowance for forced fits is very important. The allowance for forced fit per inch diameter usually from 0.001 inch to
0.0025 inch. The fair average is being 0.0015 inch. The allowance per inch usually decreases as the diameter of the
part increases. Thus the total allowance for a part diameter of 2 inches might be 0.004 inch. But for a part diameter of
8 inches the maximum allowance might not be over 0.009 or 0.0010 inches. The parts that need to be assembled by
forced fit are generally made cylindrical. But sometimes they are slightly tapered. The advantages of the tapered
surface are that the possibility of rubbing of the fitted surfaces are reduced. So less pressure will be required to
assemble the parts. So that the parts are more easily separated when disassemble is required. Some lubricant should
be applied to the surface of round part and the bore/hub before assembly. This lubricant can be lard oil mixed, etc.
This will reduce the tendency of abrasion. The disadvantage of the taper fit is less reliable, because if the tapered part
loosens , the entire fit is going to be free with little axial movement.
The required pressure for Force fit to assemble cylindrical parts not only depends on allowance but also the surface
fitted area. Based on surface area the fitted pressure will increase in proportion to the distance that the inner surface
bore/hub is pressed in. The approximate ultimate pressure (in tons) can be determined by using following formulae;
P = Required ultimate pressure, in tons,

A = Contacted surface area between Hole/bore and Shaft.
F = Pressure Factor

Force and Shrink Limits and Fits For Cylindirical Parts [(ANSI B4.1-1967,R1987)]
All limits shown in chart below are in thousandths of an inches. Symbols H6,H7,s6, etc. are Shaft and Hole
designations used in American-British-Canadian System (ABC). Limits for Shaft and Hole are applied algebraically to
the Nominal (basic) size to obtain the limits of the size for the parts. All data given in bold in the chart below are in
accordance with ABC agreements. The values given under the "Clearance Limits Column" represent min and max
amounts of clearance resulting from application of standard tolerance limits.

Shrink Fit: Shrink fit (transverse press) is the non-forcible inserting of the part after previous hole heating or after shaft
cooling. In case of shrink fit, the effective interference also decreases to a certain level due to "subsidence". The
decrease, however, is significantly smaller than in the case of force fit. The value of subsidence depends on the
roughness of the connected areas. The loading capacity of shrink fit coupling is approximately 1.5 times higher than in
the case of force fits. The selection of heating or cooling depends on dimensions of the parts and technical
possibilities. During the hole heating, it is necessary to observe that the temperature when structural changes in
material occur (in case of steel, it is approximately 200C/395F to 400C/750F) is not exceeded. Heating of outer
parts is usually done in a oil bath (up to 150C/300F) or gas or an electric furnace. Parts with small diameters have to
be heated to a much higher temperature than ones. Cooling of shafts is usually done rather with smaller couplings,
using carbon dioxide (-70C/-95F) or condensed air (-190C/-310F). For couplings with large assembly interferences,
a combination of both methods may be used. Shrink fitting is unsuitable for parts made of heat-treated steel and in
case of a heated part fitted on a hardened one. In such case, it is necessary to cool the inner part or force fit the
coupling.
Preferred Renard Numbers For American National Standard (ANSI Z17.1-1973,

ISO 3-1973)
Preferred Numbers are a serious of selected numbers for use to standardize purposes in preferences in any other
numbers. These numbers are created by Charles Renard. These system was adopted as ISO 3-1973, ANSI Z17.11973 and British Standard BS2045:1965. He discovered that 425 different sizes of cable were being used to moor the
balloons, a logistical nightmare, and set about determining how best to reduce these to a smaller number of sizes.
After He determined that the relevant characteristic of the cable was its mass per unit length ( Such as diameter,
Lengths, volume, areas etc.) Renard succeeded in replacing the 425 sizes with 17 sizes that covered the same range.
These preferred numbers of serious also would help ratings of machinery and apparatus in kilowatts, horsepower,
voltages, etc. These number can be used in Metric, inch or any other customary units.
The Renard Numbers are five geometric sequence. A geometric sequence takes this form:
For Rn, Hence: 10b/n,10b/n, 10b/n, 10b/n,10b/n
where "a" is the scale factor and n 0 is the common ratio, where "b" is an integer in the serious 0,1,2,3, etc. Renard
Preferred Numbers are called the R5, R10, R20, R40 and R80 series.
Renard Series Numbers, Rn, where a = 1 and r = ax10 b/n. For each series, values are calculated from 1 to 10, and
then rounded. As an example, If n=5, and a=1 ( to round the number "a" can be taken 10) so Rn can be calculated as
followed;
For R5, Hence: 100/5 = 1, 101/5 = 1.584... ~ 1.6, 102/5 = 2.511... ~ 2.5, 103/5 = 3.981... ~ 4.0, 104/5 = 6.309... ~ 6.3, 105/5 =

Some rounded values are desirable to use in some application, it depends on how high accurate or less accurate
numbers wanted. For less accurate number, it can be chosen by using one prime ( R' ) or two prime ( R" ) of the
Renard numbers. For example;
R10': 1.0 , 1.3 , 1.6 , 2.0 , 2.5 , 3.2
R10": 1 , 1.2 , 1.5 , 2 , 2.5 , 3
ANSI Preferred Metric Sizes B4.2-1978, ANSI B32.4-1974

ANSI preferred basic sizes of mating parts should be selected from the first choice sizes as shown in the chart below.
These sizes shown in the chart below have been selected from the preferred round diameters of the metal products in
ANSI B32.4-1974 Round, Square and Hexagonal Metal Products for Preferred Metric Sizes. The first choice sizes
given in the chart below follow approximately the R10 preferred series of numbers where succeeding numbers in the
series increments of 25%.The Second choice preferred number series shown in chart below selected from R20. These
preferred number series may be converted to sizes in several ways. Often they are multiplied or divided by some
multiple of ten (e.g.,1.0, 1.6, 2.5, 4.0, 6.3, 10; 1000, 1600, 2500, 4000, 6300, 10000.). In the chart below the preferred
numbers have multiplied by 1000.

ANSI Preferred Shaft Basis Fits (ANSI B4.2-1978(R1984))

The Preferred basic shaft system can be used for shafts that are manufactured in standard sizes.
ANSI Preferred Hole Basis Fits (ANSI B4.2-1978(R1984))

The Preferred basic hole system is used to apply tolerances for holes. The minimum hole is assigned the basic bore
(basic size) from which the tolerance and allowance are applied. This system is widely used in industry due to
standard reamers being used to produce holes, and standard size "GO GAUGES" used to check hole sizes accurately.
