Summary
The
METRIC STANDARDS
for Worldwide Manufacturing
book is
one of the best tools you can use to cut manufacturing and
engineering costs. In addition, it will help you compete in
the global market with metric designed and manufactured
products.
The change to the metric system offers
American manufacturing unique opportunities to introduce new
thinking to the old ways products were made. The metric
system requires new
fastener sizes, new
material stock
sizes, new drill sizes, new gages, etc., to be used in
production. This is where tremendously rewarding
opportunities come into play. For example, six or less
threaded fastener sizes may be selected to
replace more than 61 sizes used in the old systems. Multiply
the number of unique fastener sizes that can be eliminated
by several thousand dollars each (automotive actual
savings), and the total savings for your company can
very well become quite impressive.
Use the METRIC
STANDARDS for Worldwide Manufacturing book to find ways to cut
costs and to increase export of manufactured products from the company you work
for.
The data in the book are quick and
easy to find. It is organized into 18 subject
matter chapters with the
following indexes: (1) World Fastener- (pictorial 15
pages), (2) World Material- (27 pages with 4000 ferrous grades
from major nations), (3) General-, (4) ANSI/ASME- and
(5) ISO-Index which will
help you quickly find what you are looking for in the METRIC STANDARDS
books.

Preferred
Metric Sizes.
The new ASME
B32.100-2005 material standard show how to optimize the number
of material sizes used in manufacturing. See the 2012
METRIC STANDARDS
for
Worldwide Manufacturing
books. The first
choice sizes follow approximately the preferred number series
R5 where succeeding numbers in the series increase by 60% .
The second choice series shown are rounded off from the R10
series of preferred numbers (25% increments) . Third choice
sizes shown are rounded off from the R20 series of preferred
numbers (12% increments) . The basic sizes conform to the ASME
B4.2 and ISO 497 R20' rounded series. The preferred numbering
system is an important tool to use when selecting sizes in the
metric system and will help you cut costs in manufacturing.
Chapter
10 on Steel Material Data and Chapter 11 on Nonferrous Material in the
2007
METRIC STANDARDS books show data from
the American National Standards B32.100-2005 Preferred Metric Sizes for Flat, Round, Square, Rectangular,
and Hexagonal Metal Products. This
standard and the ASME B4.2
specify the four (4) preferred shaft tolerances h11 , h9 , h7 , and h6
which are also specified in all the largest
industrial countries of the world. See other national standards for cold finished steel rod material.
The
proposed drafts ASME B32.200-200X Preferred Metric Sizes for Round, Square, and
Rectangular Tubular Metal Products Other Than Pipe, and ASME
B32.300-200X Preferred Metric Sizes for Equal and Unequal Leg Angles, T- and
Channel-Sections, IPN- and Wide Flange-Beams Structural Steel are also
referenced and they are approved and pending release. All
these material standards reflect existing ISO standards for nominal sizes and
tolerances which are shown in detail tables in the book. They are therefore well
suited for global design, manufacturing and marketing, and will help create
USA
manufacturing jobs.
