Tolerancing and Engineering Standards

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 0.5000.506 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 B4.21978 showmen in the below table.

Calculation of International Tolerance Grades:

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 areapplicable. 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 AmericanBritish-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.

Running and Sliding Limits and Fits For Cylindrical Parts

[(ANSI B4.1-1967,R1987)]
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.

2-) Locational Fits [LC,LT,LN]:
Locational Clearance Fits are divided into three groups. these fits are intended to determine only the
location of the mating parts. They may provide accurate or rigid location like interference fit or some
freedom of location like clearance fit. These three fits are Locational Clearance Fits (LC), Locational
Transition Fits (LT), Interference Fits (LN). Locational Fits are not for running machinery, it is for location
of the mating parts. Some example: Parts of machines fixed to shafts using pins, bearing bushings,
precise fits of machines and preparations, exchangeable wheels, bolts, retaining and distance rings, parts
of machines fixed to shafts using pins, rivets or welds, etc
a-) Locational Clearance Fits [LC]: This kind of fits are for parts which are normally stationary but which
can be freely assembled and disassembled. With Locational clearance fits, parts run from snug fits for
parts requiring accuracy of location through the medium clearance to the looser fastener fits where
freedom of assembly is necessary. The coupled parts must be fixed mechanically to prevent any moving
part against the other during assembly. Some of the use for this fits are bearing bushings, exchangeable
wheels, bolts, retaining and distance rings, rivets, parts of machines fixed to shafts using pins, or welds,
etc. The lower the class like LC1, LC2 for the precise guiding and centering of parts, the higher the class
like LC10, LC11 for the free fits with great clearances and maximum tolerances.The tolerance of mating
parts and fit clearance increases with increasing class of the fit. Tighter than RC fits, but the shaft and
hole may be the same size. LC fits allow the shaft to be located more accurately than the RC fits but may
still be loose. SHAFT "d9" with Hole "H8" is generally suitable for loose running fits such as Plummer
block bearing and loose pulleys. SHAFT "e8" with Hole "H8" is recommended for general loose clearance
fits and for properly lubricated bearings requiring appreciable clearance. SHAFT "f7" with Hole "H7" and "
f8" with Hole "H8" are recommended to provide a normal running fits. This fit is widely used a normal
grease-lubricated or oil-lubricated bearing where no substantial temperature differences are encountered.
Typical applications are gear box shaft bearings and small electrical motor and pump bearings. SHAFT
"g5" with Hole "H6" and "g6" with Hole "H7" are expensive to manufacture since the clearances are small
and they are not recommended for running fits except in precision equipment where shaft loadings are
very light. Typical applications are the bearings for accurate link work and for piston and slide valves. in
addition, they are often used for spigot or location fits. SHAFT "h7" with Hole "H8" has an upper limit of
zero although in practice a slight clearance will usually be found. it is used for non-running parts and is
useful for normal location and spigot fits and may be used as a precision fit.

Locational Clearance Limits and Fits For Cylindrical Parts

[(ANSI B4.1-1967,R1987)][Table LC1-LC5]
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.

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.

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 Z17.11973, 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 Z17.1-1973 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:
b/n
b/n
b/n
b/n
b/n
For Rn, Hence: 10 ,10 , 10 , 10 ,10
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.
b/n
Renard Series Numbers, Rn, where a = 1 and r = ax10 . 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: 10

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.
