German Standard Equivalent for Machining

German Standard Equivalent for Machining

(OP)
Hi Guys ,
I got a Print from Germany for two parts to be made for local mfg. co.,the standard they use for this particular part is DIN 7168, Is there any Perfect Equivalent for this Standard
Thanks

RE: German Standard Equivalent for Machining

I believe that is an old standard and has now been replaced by ISO 2768, not sure if that actually helps you any.

RE: German Standard Equivalent for Machining

Confirm ajack1's info - use ISO 2768-1 and -2.

Regards,

Cory

RE: German Standard Equivalent for Machining

Amazing what google will turn up:

http://www.me.metu.edu.tr/me307/Standards/tolerances/DIN7168.pdf

I believe the others are correct that the is replaces the DIN but...

If the DIN is specified on the drawing it may be more correct to use that, although they're broadly equivalent.

You can get partial extracts of the ISO for free online too, such as: http://www.ramo.se/iso_2768_english.htm

However, I had a lot of trouble when dealing with this spec, the German vendors interpretation of certain aspects didn't mesh with my interpretation (or that of the US rep for the German Company).

thread1103-196260: Tolerance analysis ISO2768 thread1103-197786: tolerance analysis to ISO 8015 & 2768 part 1 (again!)

Also if you get hold of the ISO spec, which you probably should, take a long hard look at the last section.

KENAT, probably the least qualified checker you'll ever meet...
