TABLE 2 PREFERRED LENGTH DIAMETER COMBINATIONS

Note 2 - For lengths above 200 mm, steps of 20 mm may be used.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This standard was originally issued in 1963 and revised in 1972. In the revision of 1972 only
unhardened cylindrical pins were covered while requirements of hardened cylindrical pins and taper
pins are covered in IS : 6689-1972 and IS : 6688-1972 respectively.
In the earlier version, tolerance values given after rounding off to the second place of decimal
had posed certain manufacturing problems as the manyfacturer could not take advantage of the
specified tolerance class owing to the rounding off which restricted the actual tolerance available for
manufacture. Hence, tolerance values have been deleted and only tolerance classes retained.
In preparation of this standard, assistance has been derived from IS0 2338-1972 Parallel pins,
unhardened - metric series issued by International Organization for Standardization.
