Overview

EN ISO 2162-2:1996 is an international standard developed by CEN that specifies uniform requirements for the presentation of technical data related to cylindrical helical compression springs. This standard is part of the broader ISO 2162 series focused on technical product documentation for springs. Its primary purpose is to harmonize the way data is presented in technical product documentation such as tender or order drawings, ensuring clear communication and consistency among manufacturers, designers, and customers.

This standard covers graphical representation, data lists, and specific parameters essential for the design, manufacturing, and functional evaluation of cylindrical helical compression springs. By standardizing data presentation, EN ISO 2162-2 helps improve product quality, simplifies ordering processes, and facilitates international trade in spring components.

Key Topics

• Uniform Data Presentation
  The standard establishes a consistent system for displaying graphical and numerical technical data for cylindrical helical compression springs, aiding clarity in documentation.

• Graphical Representation
  Spring representations follow the guidelines of ISO 2162-1, ensuring standardized visuals including coil shape, spring ends, and load-deflection charts that depict spring action and key functional characteristics.

• Technical Data List
  A comprehensive list of design and manufacturing parameters is required. This includes details such as:

  • Outside and inside diameters of the spring
  • Mean coil diameter
  • Wire diameter and modulus of elasticity
  • Spring load under specified conditions
  • Free length, solid length, coil count, and spring rate
  • Working temperature and frequency conditions

• Types of Spring Ends
  Specifies standardized forms of spring ends (open, closed, ground, pigtail, bent) identified by letter symbols, important for correct fitting and function.

• Adaptation and Tolerances
  Permits specification of allowable manufacturing deviations to optimize economy without compromising spring performance.

Applications

EN ISO 2162-2:1996 is essential for:

• Engineering and Design Teams
  Designers creating product drawings can use the standard to present spring data effectively, improving design accuracy and communication.

• Manufacturers
  Manufacturers rely on standardized data presentation to interpret orders precisely and produce springs that meet technical and quality requirements.

• Procurement and Tendering
  Standardized data sheets facilitate comparisons of spring offers during procurement, streamlining tender evaluations and order processing.

• Quality Assurance
  Consistent documentation helps verify manufacturing compliance and assists in testing and inspection procedures.

• International Trade
  Harmonized technical documentation simplifies collaboration between global partners and supports regulatory compliance.

Related Standards

• ISO 2162-1:1993 – Technical product documentation – Springs – Part 1: Simplified representation of springs. Provides graphical representation rules referenced in EN ISO 2162-2.

• ISO 2162-3:1993 – Technical product documentation – Springs – Part 3: Vocabulary. Defines terms and definitions used in spring documentation.

• ISO 5457:1980 – Technical drawings – Layout of drawing sheets. Governs size and layout, ensuring consistency in documentation presentation.

• ISO 7200:1984 – Technical drawings – Title blocks. Standardizes title block information presentation on drawings incorporating spring data.

Benefits of Implementing EN ISO 2162-2

• Enhances precision and clarity in spring documentation
• Reduces ambiguity in tender and order drawings
• Facilitates accurate manufacturing and quality verification
• Supports international standardization and interoperability
• Simplifies communication among engineers, manufacturers, and purchasers
• Promotes efficient production with standardized tolerances and adaptation options

By following EN ISO 2162-2:1996, organizations improve technical product documentation quality, accelerate project timelines, and strengthen global market cooperation for cylindrical helical compression springs.
