This document establishes the types of lines used in technical drawings (e.g. diagrams, plans or maps), their designations and their configurations, as well as general rules for the draughting of lines. In addition, this document specifies general rules for the representation of leader and reference lines and their components as well as for the arrangement of instructions on or at leader lines in technical documents. Annexes have been provided for specific information on mechanical, construction and shipbuilding technical drawings.
For the purposes of this document the term "technical drawing" is interpreted in the broadest possible sense encompassing the total package of documentation specifying the product (workpiece, subassembly, assembly).

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.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

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. Details of

Introduction

This document contains generally applicable rules for the presentation of lines in all kinds of technical

product documentation.

All figures in this document have been drawn in first-angle projection. It should be understood that

third-angle projection or other methods could have been used equally well without prejudice to the

principles established.

The application of lines within drawings of special technical fields varies considerably. Therefore, rules

of application specific to technical fields are given in Annexes B to G.

Annex A provides information for the calculation of the most important basic types of non-continuous

lines according to types of lines and their graphical basic elements.

4 T ypes of lines
4.1 General

The line type designation consists of a combination of a basic line type and a subtype, depending on the

line width, see 4.2.

For the purposes of this document a line type application number is used to number the application

examples for the line types.

For applying line types to construction technical drawings, Annex B shall be applied. For applying line

types to mechanical engineering technical drawings, Annex D shall be applied. For applying line types

to ship building technical drawings, Annex F shall be applied.

5.1 Line width

The width, d, of all types of lines shall be one of the following depending on the type and size of the

technical drawing. This series is based on a common ratio 1: √2 (≈1:1,4).
0,13 mm; 0,18 mm; 0,25 mm; 0,35 mm; 0,5 mm; 0,7 mm; 1 mm; 1,4 mm; 2 mm.
The widths of extra-wide, wide and narrow lines are in the ratio 4:2:1.
The line width of any one line shall be constant throughout the whole line.

See Annexes B, D and F for information on line widths pertaining to construction, mechanical and

shipbuilding technical drawings.
5.2 De viation in line width

Line widths can deviate from those specified in 5.1 providing that it is possible to differentiate

unambiguously between two adjacent lines with different widths. If technical drawing equipment

which produces constant line width is used, the deviation in line width between two such lines shall not

be greater than ± 0,1d.
5.3 Configuration of lines

For the preparation of technical drawings, the lengths of graphical basic elements should conform to

those of Table 4.

NOTE The lengths shown in this table are valid for graphical basic elements with semi-

circular and squared ends. In the case of graphical basic elements with semi-circular

ends, the length of the graphical basic element corresponds to the distance covered by a

technical pen (with a tubular tip and using India ink) from the origin up to the end of the

graphical basic element. The total length of such a graphical basic element is the sum of

the length shown in this table, plus d.

Formulae for the calculation of some of the basic types of lines and graphical basic elements are given in

Annex A. The formulae are intended to facilitate the preparation of technical drawings using computer-

aided design (CAD) systems.
6 Dr aughting of lines
6.1 Spacing
The minimum space between parallel lines should not be less than 0,7 mm.

In certain cases when computer-aided technical drawing techniques are used, the spacing of lines on

the technical drawing does not represent the actual spacing, for example for the representation of

screw threads. This has to be considered when data sets are established, for example for the operation

of machine tools.
6.2 Junctions
6.2.1 Types

The basic types of lines, no. 02 to no. 06 and no. 08 to no. 15, should meet at a dash to avoid ambiguity;

see Figures 7 to 12.
