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.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards

adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an

International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent

rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 14405-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 213, Dimensional and geometrical product

specifications and verification.

ISO 14405 consists of the following parts, under the general title Geometrical product specification (GPS) —

Dimensional tolerancing:

Introduction

This part of ISO 14405 is a geometrical product specification (GPS) standard and is to be regarded as a

general GPS standard (see ISO/TR 14638). It influences chain links 1 to 3 of the chain of standards on size.

The ISO/GPS Masterplan given in ISO/TR 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 of the relation of this part of ISO 14405 to other standards and the GPS matrix

model, see Annex D.

Produced workpieces exhibit deviations from the ideal geometric form. The real value of the dimension of a

feature of size is dependent on the form deviations and on the specific type of size applied.

The type of size to be applied to a feature of size depends on the function of the workpiece.

The type of size can be indicated on the drawing by a specification modifier for controlling the feature

definition and evaluation method to be used.

NOTE 2 A special specification operator may be a complete specification operator or an incomplete specification

operator.

EXAMPLE 1 The specification for a shaft of ∅30 ± 0,1 is a special specification operator, because one of the

specification operations, the association of the minimum circumscribed cylinder, is not a default specification operation.

EXAMPLE 2 The specification of Ra 1,5 using a 2,5 mm filter for a surface is a special specification operator, because

one of the specification operations, the cut-off length used in the filtration, is not a default specification operation.

[ISO 17450-2:—, 3.3.7]
3.8
size

intrinsic characteristic of a feature of size (3.2) that can be defined on a nominal feature or on an associated

feature

NOTE 1 In this part of ISO 14405, the size corresponds to the diameter of a cylinder, or to the distance between two

parallel opposite planes. Depending on the type of feature of size, the terms “diameter” and “distance” are synonyms for

size.

NOTE 2 A size is angular (e.g. angle of a cone) or linear (e.g. diameter of a cylinder). This part of ISO 14405 only deals

with linear size.
3.9
size characteristic
characteristic relative to a size (3.8) and defined on an extracted feature
See Figure B.1.

NOTE A size can be evaluated by more than one size characteristic (e.g. the two-point diameter or the diameter of

the associated feature, taken on the extracted feature).

local size characteristic
local linear size characteristic

size characteristic (3.9) having by definition a non-unique result of evaluation along and/or around the

feature of size (3.2)
NOTE 1 For a given feature, an infinity of local sizes exists.

NOTE 2 In this part of ISO 14405, “local size” is used instead of “local linear size”.

NOTE 3 In Figure 3, examples of local size are shown. These examples do not take into account the rank-order

size (3.11.2.2).
3.10.1
two-point size

〈local size〉 distance between two opposite points taken on the feature of size (3.2)

NOTE 1 A two-point size taken on cylinder can be called a “two-point diameter”. In ISO 14660-2, this is defined as a

local diameter of an extracted cylinder.

NOTE 2 A two-point size taken on two opposite planes can be called a “two-point distance”. In ISO 14660-2, this is

defined as a local size of two parallel extracted surfaces.
3.10.2
section size
global size (3.11) for a given cross section of the extracted feature

NOTE 1 A section size is a local size (3.10) for the complete toleranced feature of size (3.2).

NOTE 2 The cross section is defined with the same criterion as the one taken to define the direct global size (3.11.1).

NOTE 3 On an extracted feature that corresponds to a cylinder, it is possible to define an infinite number of cross

sections in which the diameter of the associated circle can be defined (with a specific association criterion). This is a

section size.
3.10.3
portion size
global size (3.11) for a given portion of the extracted feature

NOTE A portion size is a local size (3.10) for the complete toleranced feature of size (3.2).

3.10.4
spherical size
〈local size〉 diameter of the maximum inscribed sphere

NOTE This local size, defined by a sphere, applies to the feature of size types “cylinder” and “two parallel opposite

planes”.

NOTE 1 The different direct global linear sizes on the complete toleranced feature are given in Figure 4.

NOTE 2 Different criteria may be used for this operation of association, and different results are obtained depending on

the criterion chosen. The association criteria described in this part of ISO 14405 are total least-squares, maximum

inscribed and minimum circumscribed.
3.11.1.1
least-squares size

〈global size〉 size (3.8) of the associated feature established from the extracted feature(s) with the total

least-squares criterion

NOTE In this part of ISO 14405, “total least-squares” is referred to only as “least-squares”.

3.11.1.2
maximum inscribed size

〈global size〉 size (3.8) of the associated feature established from the extracted feature(s) with the maximum

inscribed criterion

NOTE In the case of an internal feature of size, the maximum inscribed size was previously called “mating size for an

internal feature”.
3.11.1.3
minimum circumscribed size

〈global size〉 size (3.8) of the associated feature established from the extracted feature(s) with the minimum

circumscribed criterion

NOTE In the case of an external feature of size, the minimum circumscribed size was previously called “mating size

for an external feature”.

See Figure 5.
NOTE 1 The circumference diameter is defined in a cross section.

NOTE 2 Several criteria can be used for the operation of association to orient the cross section, and different results

are obtained according to the chosen criterion. The default criterion is the least-squares associated cylinder of the feature

(see ISO 14660-2:1999, 4.2.1).

NOTE 3 In cases where the feature is non-convex, the circumference diameter can be larger than the minimum

circumscribed diameter and depends on the filtration criteria used.
