Chain dimensions using Basic number x and = sum
Chain dimensions using Basic number x and = sum
(OP)
I have scoured my copy of ASME Y14.5 1994 looking for the dimensioning for multiple holes that uses a BASIC hole to hole dimension x the number of holes = the sum of the BASIC dimension x the number of holes. I have been told that it is legal, but I can't find it in the standard. For my money, just giving the number of spaces and the BASIC dimension is fine; doing the math to add up the sum doesn't change or refine anything. Can someone tell me where this is covered in the standard?
Thanks
Thanks

I don't think extrapolating to basic is a big jump in logic.
Personally I don't' think it's worth the effort but the standard appears to support it.

Why not just 10 X 20?
