Metric sizes in lengths up to 8000 mm bow shaped and 5000 mm I section. Two grades of accuracy for each type, material, manufacture, design. Recommended dimensions and test methods appended.

This Part of this British Standard specifies requirements for cast iron straightedges of bow shaped design and of I-section in metric sizes. Two grades of accuracy are provided for each type, namely grade A and grade B.

Requirements applicable to both types are given in clauses 3 and 4 and 7 to 14 inclusive while clauses 5 and 6 specify particular requirements relating to bow shaped straightedges in lengths up to and including 8 000 mm and I-section straightedges in lengths up to and including 5 000 mm.

Recommended general dimensions, methods of testing and heat treatments are given in appendices.

NOTE A straightedge complying fully with the requirements of a superseded standard continues to be operational but it should be brought into full association with this standard when convenient, i.e. when the surfaces are reconditioned and/or retested.
