T HIS standard represents the latest result of vork which began


tional Committee B4 in June 1920 under the namf “Sectional Committee
tion of PlainLimitGages forGeneralEngineering
w i t h the organization of Sec-
on the Standardiza-
Work. ” Thisoriginalcommitteeproduced
AmericanStandard ASA B4a-1925, “Tolerances, Allowances and Gages for Metal Fits,” which
w a s u s e d i n varying degree for many years.
In December 1930, SectionalCommittee B4 wasreorganizedandthenamechangedtothe
presentform,“SectionalCommittee on t h e StandardizationofAllowancesandTolerancesfor
Cylindrical Parts and Limit Gages.” The change in name indicated a significant shift to a more
definite and somewhat more restricted mission for the committee.
Duringtheyears of World War II an ASA War Committeeformed i n 1943 workedon the proj-
e c t but produced no completed results, and t h e activity was turned back to Sectional Committee
B4.AfterthewarthesubjectwasdiscussedattheCanadianConferenceon the Unification of
Engineering Standards held i n Ottawa in 1945, attended by d e l e g a t e s from Great Britain, Canada,
and the United States, and again at another joint meeting in New York later in t h e same year.
Thesemeetingsaresignificantbecausesince1945 work i n thisprojecthasbeenstronglyin-
fluenced by theseandsimilarABCconferences.Properevaluationofthepresentstandard
will depend upon an appreciation of the important effects of progress towards agreement on uni-
fication of standards between the ABC countries.
Theresult of theactivitiesimmediatelyfollowing World War II wasAmericanStandard
“ L i m i t s a n d F i t s for Engineeriw and Manufacturing (Part I), ASA B4.1-1947.” In the preface to
that document i t was stated that the ABC meetings resulted in agreement on five baslc principles,
and since the first four of these principles, w i t h certain minor and obvious variations, apply to
t h i s p r e s e n t s t a n d a r d , i t is considered worth w h i l e torepeat them here. First, there m u s t be a
commonlanguage(definitions)throughwhichanalyses may berecordedandconveyed.Second,
a table of preferred basic sizes helps i n reducingthenumber of differentdiameterscommonly
used in agivensizerange.Third,preferredtolerancesandallowancesarealogicalcomple-
menttopreferredsizesandshould aid the designer i n se!ectingstandardtolerances.Fourth,
uniformity of method of applying tolerances is e s s e n t i a l .
Additional ABC conferences were held i n N e w York i n June 1952 and February 1953. Delega-
tions fromSectionalcommittee B4 were active in these conferences, which resulted in a draft
proposalforanABCsystem of Limits and Fits, published as ASA B4/30.TheSectionalCom-
mittee B4 d e l e g a t e s to these conferences voted to recommend approval of the ABC proposals as
t h e b a s i s for an American standard i f and when such a standard were developed.
Sincethepublication of thisstandardthere h a s beenadditionaldiscussionsatABCcon-
ferences held i n Ottawa in June 1960 and at Arden House, New York, in September 1962. There
hasbeen a n expansion o f definitionsunder ASA 8 1 . 7 , andtheyarereflectedintherevision.
The revisedproposalwassubmittedtothesponsororganizationandtothe USA Standards
Institute (formerly American Standards Association) for final approval as a USA Standard. This
approval was granted on August 3. 1966.
This revision, however, was never published as it was noted that other rhanges, agreed CO
a t the Arden House ABC Conference, had not been incorporated i n the standard.
A newrevisionwasissued,andfollowingapproval by the USA StandardsCommitteeB4, it
was approved by the sponsor and on September 18, 1967 by the USA Standards Institute.

USA STANDARD
T h i s USA Standardisone of nearly 3000 standardsapprovedasAmerican
standards by the American Standards Asscciation. On August 24, 1966, t h e ASA
was reconstituted as the United States of America standards Institute. Standards
approved a s American Standards are now designated USA Standards. There is no
change in their.index identification or technical content.
