NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard which is identical with IS0 1660 : 1987 ‘Technical drawings -
Dimensioning and tolerancing of profiles’ issued by the International Organization for Standard-
ization ( IS0 ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the
Drawing Sectional Committee ( LMD 02 ) and approval of the Light Mechanical Engineering
Division Council.
The first revision of IS 8000 ( Part 3 ) : 1985 ‘Geometrical tolerancing on technical drawings :
Part 3 Dimensioning and tolerancing of profile’ -was based on IS0 1660 : 1982 ‘Technical
drawings - Dimensioning and tolerancing of ~profiles’ issued by the International Organization
for Standardization ( IS0 ). Consequent to the revision of the International Standard,
harmonization of the Indian Standard has been made by the adoption of IS0 1660 : 1987.
In the adopted standard certain terminology and conventions are noi identical with those used fin
Indian Standards; attention is especially drawn to the following:
a) Comma ( , ) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards the current
practice is to use point ( . ) as the decimal marker.
b) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear, referring to this standard, they
should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.
In this adopted standard, reference appears to IS0 1101. The Indian Standard IS 8000 (Part 1) :
1985 ‘Geometrical tolerancing on technical drawings: Part 1 Tolerances of form, orientation,
location and run-out and appropriate geometrical definitions ( first revision )’ which is identical
with IS0 1101 : 1983 is to be substituted in its place.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This Indian Standard is one of a series of Indian Standards on geometrical tolerancing on
technical drawings. The other standards in the series are:

( Second Revision )

1 Scope and field of application

This International Standard describes the dimensioning and the

geometrical tolerancing of profiled outlines and of profiled sur-
faces. The methods described are related to the sub-clauses in
IS0 1101 dealing with the “profile tolerance of any line” and
“profile tolerance of any surface”.

3 Dimensioning

Profiles may be dimensioned by either of the methods

described in 3.1 and 3.2.

3.1 The successive radii of curvature and sufficient dimen-

sions shall be given to locate the corresponding elements of the
curve (see figure 1). Figure 1

IS0 1880 : 1987

3.2 Linear or polar coordinates of a series of points through which the profile passes shall be given (see figure 2).

3.3 With either of the methods described in 3.1 or 3.2 it may be necessary to specify dimensions in association with a follower; the
dimension, a, shall then be indicated on the drawing (see figure 3).

4 Indication of tolerances

Profile dimensions may be toleranced by methods described in 4.1 and 4.2; the actual profile shall be contained within the specified
tolerance zone.

4.1 Geometrical tolerancing of a line

The tolerance zone is defined with respect to the “true” profile which is itself defined by theoretically exact (basic) dimensions. The
tolerance zone shall be equally disposed on either side of the true profile.

The width of the tolerance zone is uniform when measured normal to the true profile at any point (see figures 4 and 5).

4.2 Geometrical tolerancing of a profiled surface

The tolerance zone of a surface to be given a profile tolerance is defined with respect to the true profile which is itself defined by theo-
retically exact dimensions. This zone shall be equally disposed on either side of the true profile of the surface.

The width of the tolerance zone is uniform when measured normal to the true profile of the surface at any point (see figure 6).

Standard Mark
The use of the~standard Mark is governed by the provisions of the Bureau of Indian
Standards Act, I986 and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder. The Standard Mark
on products dovered by an Indian Standard conveys the assurance that they have been
produced to comply with the requirements of that standard under a well defined system
of inspection, testing and quality control which is devised and supervised by BIS and
operated by the producer. Standard marked products are also continuously checked by
BIS for conformity to that standard as a further safeguard. Details of conditions under
which a licence for the use of the Standard Mark may be granted to manufacturers or
producers may be obtained from the Bureau of Indian Standards.
Bureau of Indian Standards

BIS is ~a statutory institution established under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 1986 to
promote harmonious development of the activities of standardization, marking and quality
certification of goods and attending to connected matters in the country.

Revision of Indian Standards

Indian Standards are reviewed periodically and revised, when necessary and amendments, if
any, are issued from time to time. Users of Indian Standards shouId ascertain that they are in
possession of the latest amendments or edition. Comments on this Indian Standard may be
