ANSI vs. ASME y14......

ANSI vs. ASME y14......

ANSI vs. ASME y14......

(OP)
What is the current drafting standard for 2D drawings?

Whenever I refer to drawing standards for GDT or general dimensioning I can only find ASME Y14.5 or Y14.100 references but I cannot find any references for ANSI drafting standards yet many companies show ANSI as the standard they follow. I was taught that ANSI adopted the ASME standard and if so then why put ANSI in the title block?

RE: ANSI vs. ASME y14......

ASME actually writes the standard. ANSI “approves” it. It is going like that since 1982. Some companies didn’t look at their title blocks since 1973. End of story.

RE: ANSI vs. ASME y14......

ANSI Y14.5-1966
ANSI Y14.5-1973
ANSI Y14.5M-1982
ASME Y14.5M-1994
ASME Y14.5-2009

RE: ANSI vs. ASME y14......

OK, at least since 1973

RE: ANSI vs. ASME y14......

ANSI is an ISO organization now. They pretty much washed their hands off of the US national standards. ASME has taken over the engineering stuff, such as Y series. ASME is the national standard now, referenced by U.S. requirements, starting with ASME Y14.100.
