Geometrical product specifications (GPS) — Dimensional and geometrical tolerances for moulded parts — Part 4: General tolerances for castings using profile tolerancing in a general datum system

ISO 8062-4:2017 specifies general geometrical tolerances using surface profile tolerances related to a general datum system that remains on the final part. It also specifies machining allowances and draft angles (tapers) for castings in all cast metals and their alloys produced by various casting manufacturing processes.

Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

ISO 8062-4:2017(E)
Introduction

This document is a geometrical product specification (GPS) standard and is regarded as a

complementary process-specific tolerance standard (see ISO 14638). It influences chain link B of the

chain of standards on mouldings.

The ISO GPS matrix model given in ISO 14638 gives an overview of the ISO GPS system, of which this

document is a part. The fundamental rules of ISO/GPS given in ISO 8015 apply to this document and

the default decision rules given in ISO 14253-1 apply to specifications made in accordance with this

document, unless otherwise indicated.

For more detailed information about the relation of this document to other standards and the GPS

matrix model; see Annex F.

This document defines a system of tolerance grades, draft angle (taper) grades and machining allowance

grades for cast metals and their alloys.

ISO/TS 8062-2 states, in relation to the accumulation method where general dimensional tolerances

according to ISO 8062-3 are used, that there is not yet a clearly defined way in the context of the future

system of GPS standards to apply the rules for calculating of the final moulded part nominal dimensions

from the final machined moulded part nominal dimensions, taking into account the miscellaneous

influences.

One of the reasons for this problem is the lack of a proper workpiece datum system.

The general dimensional tolerances apply independently from each other (without a datum system). It

is difficult or even impossible to assess what the overall shape of the workpiece can become.

The general dimensional tolerances (± tolerances) of ISO 8062-3 apply not only to sizes but also to

centre distances and dimensions defining profile contours. This is in contradiction to the GPS rules

(e.g. ISO 14405-2).

Furthermore, with 3D CAD, the nominal dimensions are not always visible in the model. As the general

dimensional tolerances depend on the nominal dimensions, they cannot be used any more when only

the CAD model is available.

For these reasons, the use of ISO 8062-3 from a GPS-point of view cannot be recommended. This

document avoids the insufficiencies of ISO 8062-3 described above and is in full compliance with

the GPS rules. The general tolerances according to ISO 8062-3 are not comparable with the general

tolerances according to this document.

5 Rules
5.1 Rule A: Application of general tolerances for castings

The general tolerances for castings according to this document may be used on drawings showing:

a) the moulded condition only (see Figure D.2);

b) the premachined condition and referring to the general tolerances for castings for the features

remaining as moulded;

c) the final machined condition and referring to the general tolerances for the moulded condition

(before machining).

Prerequisite is a general datum system RST on surfaces remaining as moulded; see Rule C.

5.2 Rule B: General surface profile tolerances

The general tolerances according to this document are any surface profile tolerances related to a

general datum system RST according to ISO 5459; see Rule C. The general tolerance is to be indicated in

or near the drawing title block.

The general surface profile tolerance applies to all surfaces with the exception of Rule D.

5.3 Rule C: General datum system
A general datum system RST shall be indicated in the drawing.

When a general datum system RST is used, established by datum targets (preferred method), the

general profile tolerances according to Table 1 apply also to the datum features, if not otherwise

indicated.

When an integral general datum system RST is used, established by integral features, the general

profile tolerances according to Table 1 do not apply to the datum features. In such cases, the datum

features shall be toleranced separately by:
— an unrelated profile (form) tolerance for the primary datum;
— a profile tolerance related to the primary datum for the secondary datum;

— a profile tolerance related to the primary and to the secondary datum for the tertiary datum.

NOTE When there is no datum system (target or integral) on surfaces remaining in the final condition, this

document cannot be applied.
5.4 Rule D: Tolerances overruling the general surface profile tolerances

Individually indicated surface profile tolerances for location according to ISO 1101 and ISO 1660 and

individually indicated positional tolerances according to ISO 5458, each related directly or indirectly to

the general datum system RST and locking all degrees of freedom, overrule the general surface profile

tolerances. See Figure 2.

Indirectly related to the general datum system RST.

Figure 2 — Individually indicated locational tolerances overruling the general tolerance

When positional tolerances for sizes are used, the (dimensional) size tolerance shall be specified in

addition either by individual indication or by reference to general tolerances.
5.5 Rule E: Additional tolerances

Other tolerances than those described in rules B and D, i.e. not related to the general datum system RST,

apply in addition to the general tolerances as further constraints.
5.6 Rule F: Machined condition [application case A c)]
The final machined condition shall be possible to be achieved.

When the tolerances for the machined surfaces are related to a datum or datum system different from

the general datum system RST, additional material is needed for the moulded condition.

Due to the inclination and offset of the general datum system RST of the moulded condition relative

to the datum system of the machined condition, the amount of additional material shall be calculated

from the geometrical tolerance of the datum surfaces of the machined condition relative to the general

datum system RST.
5.7 Rule G: Required machining allowances (RMAs)

Surfaces to be machined require a machining allowance RMA. The RMA shall be selected from Table 3

and shall be indicated on the drawing. For information on the selection of RMAs; see Annex C.

The same RMA applies to all surfaces to be machined, unless a different RMA is individually indicated

to a specific surface (according to ISO 1302).

Annex E gives examples for the calculation of the dimension of the moulded condition (raw dimension).

ISO 8062-4:2017(E)
5.8 Rule H: Draft angle (taper)
The parting surface shall be indicated by the symbols and in accordance with
ISO 10135.
There are three possible ways to indicate a draft angle (taper):
a) as already included in the ideal model or drawing outlines;
b) by the symbol ;
c) by the symbol .

In case a), the general surface profile tolerance zone is located symmetrically to the nominal surface

that includes the draft angles (tapers).

In case b), the general surface profile tolerance zone is located symmetrically to the surface when the

draft angles (tapers) are added to the nominal model which excludes the draft angles in the tolerance

zone; see Figure 3 a).

In case c), the general surface profile tolerance zone increases steadily as shown in Figure 3 b).

NOTE The rules for the indication of the symbols are given in ISO 10135.

When the draft angles (tapers) are already included in the nominal model or in the drawing outlines,

“Draft angles included” shall be indicated in or near the drawing title block.
